Before making connections

• Do not connect the AC power cord until all other connections have been made.

• Connect VIDEO OUT of the player directly to the video input of your TV. Connecting VIDEO OUT of the player to a TV via a VCR may cause a monitor problem when playing back a copy-protected disc. You may also have a monitor problem when connecting the player to an integrated TV/ Video system.

NOTE

If your TV has an AV COMPU LINK terminal, you can use the AV COMPU LINK function. See “AV COMPU LINK remote control system” on page 33 for details.

Connections

Before using the player, connect the player to a TV and/or amplifier.

Connecting to a TV

The following sections A to C describe TV connections where only a TV is connected to the player so that you will hear audio from the TV.

A Connecting to a conventional TV

The player

Set the VIDEO SIGNAL SELECTOR to “PAL 625i” or “NTSC 525i” to match the color system of your TV.

• “PAL 625i” indicates 625 scanning lines with PAL interlace format, and “NTSC 525i” indicates 525 scanning lines with NTSC interlace format.

• In the following description, “TV” may be substituted with “monitor” or “projector.”

• Terminal names used for other components may be different from those used in the following description.

NOTE

If your TV has a monaural audio input instead of stereo, you need to use an optional audio cable which converts stereo audio output to monaural.

If your TV has an S-VIDEO input, you can get better picture quality by connecting it with the S-VIDEO output of the player using an S-video cable instead of connecting the video input of the TV to the VIDEO jack of the player.

Set the VIDEO SIGNAL SELECTOR to “PAL 625i” or “NTSC 525i” to match the color system of your TV.

• “PAL 625i” indicates 625 scanning lines with PAL interlace format, and “NTSC 525i” indicates 525 scanning lines with NTSC interlace format.

You can enjoy picture of high-fidelity color reproduction by connecting the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks on the player to your TV.

NOTES

• Connect “Y” to “Y,” “PB” to “PB” (CB), “PR” to “PR” (CR) correctly.

• When using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks, do not connect the S-VIDEO output jack on the player.

• If your TV has component video input jacks of BNC type, use an adapter which converts a pin jack to a BNC jack (not supplied).

Progressive scan video playback available

In the Progressive scanning mode, you can enjoy high quality picture with less flickers when the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks are connected to a TV or monitor that supports the progressive video input.

• The Progressive scanning mode works for the NTSC color system format only.

About the scanning mode

Depending on the material source format, DVD VIDEO discs can be classified into two types; film source and video source (note that some DVD VIDEO discs contain both film source and video source). Film sources are recorded as 24-frame-persecond information, while (NTSC) video sources are recorded as 30-frame-per-second (60-field-per-second interlaced) information. When the player plays back a film source material, uninterlaced progressive output signals are created using the original information. When a video source material is played back, the player interleaves lines between the interlaced lines on each to create the interpolated picture and outputs as the progressive signal.

Activating the Progressive scanning mode using the remote control unit

When the player is turned on and the VIDEO SIGNAL SELECTOR is set to “NTSC 525i/p REMOTE,” press and hold down VFP - PROGRESSIVE SCAN for a few seconds. The scanning mode switches between the Progressive scanning and Interlaced scanning modes.

When the scanning mode is set to the Progressive mode, the [P] indicator lights up in the display window. Depending on the [PICTURE SOURCE] preference display and whether the current DVD VIDEO disc is film-source or videosource, the indicator that lights up in the display window differs, as shown in the table below.

NOTES

• The Progressive scanning mode works only when you connect the player’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to your TV.

• There are some progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets that are not fully compatible with the player, resulting in the unnatural picture when playing back a DVD VIDEO disc in the Progressive scanning mode. In such a case, use the Interlaced scanning mode. To check the compatibility of your TV set, contact your local JVC customer service center.

• All JVC progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets are fully compatible with the player (Example: AV-61S902).

• The VIDEO jack, S-VIDEO jack and COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks cannot be used at the same time. Connect cable(s) only to the jack(s) you want to use.

Hint

If you press 0 during playback, the player stops playback and opens the disc tray.

Changing the resume mode

The player has three resume modes; ON, OFF and DISC RESUME.

• You can select the mode using the preference display (see page 30).

When the resume mode is “OFF”

Playback always starts from the beginning.

When the resume mode is “DISC RESUME”

The player memorizes interrupted positions for the last 30 discs played. Storing a new interrupted position will erase the interrupted position stored for the first disc. The memory of the interrupted positions are not cleared even if you open the disc tray or turn off the player.

NOTES

• If you change the [RESUME] setting from [DISC RESUME] to [OFF] or [ON], you cannot resume playback of a disc whose “resuming” position is stored. However, when you again set [RESUME] to [DISC RESUME], you will then be able to resume playback of the disc.

• If you interrupt the playback of a disc for which an interrupted position has already been stored, the memory will be updated with the new interrupted position.

• For a double-sided DVD VIDEO disc, the player regards each side as a different disc. Therefore, to resume playback of such a disc, the disc must be inserted with the same side down.

• When the player memorizes an interrupted point for a disc, it also memorizes Audio, Subtitle and Angle settings.

• The player may not resume playback exactly from the interrupted point. In the case of an SVCD/Video CD disc with PBC function, the player may resume playback from a point slightly earlier or later than the point where playback was interrupted.

To stop playback temporarily

Press 8.

To resume playback, press 3 (SELECT). (See “About On-screen guide icons” on this page.)

Restarting playback after stopping (resuming playback)

The player resumes playback from the position you interrupted playback, as long as the disc you interrupted playback is still on the disc tray. This is because the player’s resume mode is set to ON when you purchased the player. When the resume mode is set to ON, the player memorizes the position on a disc where you interrupted playback.

• When you press 7 to interrupt playback, the TV screen shows

[RESUME STOP] and the [RESUME] indicator lights up in the display window.

• When you re-start playback, the TV screen shows [RESUME PLAY].

Hint

The memory of the interrupted position is not cleared even if you turn off the player.

To play back from the beginning

Press 7 while the disc is stopped. The memory is cleared. Then press 3 (SELECT).

NOTES

• The player remembers the interrupted position even if you turn the power off.

• The memory is cleared if you open the disc tray.

About screen saver function

A television monitor may have an image burned into it if a static image is displayed for a long time. To prevent this, the player automatically activates the screen saver function if a static picture, such as an on-screen display or menu, is displayed while no button is pressed for over 5 minutes. When the screen saver function is activated, the TV screen gets darker. Pressing any buttons will release the screen saver function. You can set the screen saver function to ON or OFF (see page

29).

Outline

The player can play back MP3/JPEG/MPEG-4 (simple profile/asf file) files on either a personally recorded CD-R/RW disc, or a commercially available CD. You can select and play back files using the Control display on the TV screen.

• The player may be unable to play back a disc due to the characteristics or recording conditions.

Precautions

About files and folders (groups) on the disc

• Files are sometimes grouped into folders by genre, album, etc. In this manual, “group” is also referred to as “folder.”

• A folder which has one or more files is regarded as a group.

• The player can detect and play back the groups which are located up to the fifth layer.

• The files in the Control display are arranged by the alphabetical order of extensions as follows: “.asf,” “.jpeg” and “.mp3.”

• Time required for reading the disc contents may vary for different discs, depending on the numbers of folders (groups) and files recorded, etc.

• Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into “group

1.”

ASF

ASF is an abbreviation of “Advanced Streaming Format,” and is a data compression format for streaming developed by Microsoft Corporation. ASF can contain the various data types such as audio, video, and text.

Aspect ratio

A ratio which defines the shape of the rectangular picture in a TV. It is the width of the picture relative to the height. A conventional TV picture is 4:3 in aspect ratio.

Bitstream

The digital form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1-channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.

Chapter/title

Chapter is the smallest division and title is the largest division on DVD VIDEO. A chapter is a division of a title and similar to a track for Video CD or Audio CD.

Component video

Video signals with three channels of separate information that makes up the picture. There are some types of component video, such as R/G/B and Y/C

B(PB)/CR(PR).

JPEG

A popular file format for still image compression and storage. JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. There are three sub-types of the JPEG format as follows.

• baseline JPEG: used for digital cameras, the web, etc.

• progressive JPEG: used for the web

• lossless JPEG: an old type, rarely used now

Linear PCM audio

PCM stands for “pulse code modulation.” Linear PCM is the usual method for digitally encoding audio without compression, and is used for the audio tracks on DVD VIDEO discs, Audio CDs, etc.

MP3

MP3 is an audio data compression format, which stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Using MP3, you can achieve a data reduction of about 1:10.

MPEG-4

MPEG-4 is an audio/video data compression format, which is highly efficient and more stable than MPEG-1 and MPEG-2.

MPEG Multichannel

This feature expands the 5.1 channel audio format recorded on the disc to a 7.1 channel format. The further expansion of the 5.1 channel audio makes it easy for you to reproduce the movie theater experience in your own home.

NTSC (National television system committee)

A black and white and color television system format used in the U.S.A., Canada, Mexico and Japan.

Composite video

A single video signal commonly used in most consumer video products that contains all luminance, color, and synchronization information.

Dolby Digital (AC3)

A six-channel system consisting of left, center, right, left rear, right rear and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect channel, for use with a sub-woofer) channels. All processing is done in the digital domain. Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.

Dolby Surround/Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Surround records four channels of front and rear audio in two channels in a way that allows a decoder to recover the original four channels for playback. Because the audio is recorded in two channels, it can be played back naturally by a two-channel stereo system. Dolby Pro Logic introduces directional circuits in decoder-side processing (increasing the level of specific channels and lowering the level of silent channels) for greater spatial perspective, and adds a center speaker used primarily for dialog. The result is enhanced channel separation.

Down-mix

Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a DVD player. The down-mix signals are output from stereo output connectors.

DTS

A Digital Surround audio encoding format configured with six (5.1) channels, similar to Dolby Digital. It requires a decoder, either in the player or in an external receiver. DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems. Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.

Dynamic range

The difference between the loudest and softest sounds.

Interlaced scanning

In a conventional video system, a picture is shown on the display monitor in between lines of two halves. The Interlaced scanning system places lines of the second half of the picture in-between lines of the first half of the picture.

PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)

A color television system format used extensively in Western Europe.

PBC

PBC stands for “Playback control” and is a method of controlling disc play for Video CDs (VCD). You are able to interact with the disc through menus.

Progressive scanning

Progressive scanning displays all the horizontal lines of a picture at one time, as a single frame. A progressive scanning DVD player converts the interlaced (525i) video from DVD into progressive (525p) format for connection to a progressive display. It dramatically increases the vertical resolution.

S-video

A video signal which improves picture quality over standard composite connections. Used on Super VHS, DVD, high end TV monitors, etc.

Trac k

The smallest division on SVCD, Video CD and Audio CD discs.
