Learning More about This System

Connections

• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other
terminals, connecting cords or the power cord. Also, keep
the antennas away from metallic parts of the System,
connecting cords, and the power cord. These could cause
poor reception.

• Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as
indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of the
System.

• The speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color
distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly,
it may cause color distortions. So, pay attention to the
following when installing the speakers.

– When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off the

TV’s main power switch or unplug it before installing the
speakers.
Then wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s
main power switch again.

– Some TVs may still be affected even though you have

followed the above instructions. If this happens, move
the speakers away from the TV.

• You cannot connect a computer and JVC Everio camcorder
to the USB terminals of the System.

• Noise and static electricity may stop the USB device sound.
In this case, disconnect and connect the USB device again
after turning off the System.

About HDMI CEC

CEC is device controlling signals optionally employed for
the HDMI standard. When devices equipped with CEC are
connected, each device can control the others. This System
is compatible with some basic functions of HDMI CEC.
For example, when you start playback on the System, the
connected TV compatible with HDMI CEC automatically
turns on.

• This function is available only when the source is set to
“DVD/CD” or “USB1.”

• You can select or deactivate the usage for the HDMI CEC
functions using “CEC” on Setup Menu (refer to “Setup
Menu” in “Operating Guide”).

ON 1
ON 2

• For details about the CEC function, refer to the operation
manuals of the connected CEC devices.

• The CEC function may not work depending on the
settings or status of the System or the connected CEC
devices.

To use the HDMI CEC functions normally.

Select this if you do not want to have the
System automatically turned on/off by
turning on/off the TV or other external
HDMI CEC compatible devices. All other
available HDMI CEC functions operate the
same as when “ON 1” is selected.

To deactivate the HDMI CEC functions.

To change the color system and scanning mode

You can select the video output to match it to the color
system of your TV (NTSC or PAL).

• If you connect a progressive TV through the component
video cords or the HDMI cable, you can enjoy a high
quality picture by selecting progressive scanning mode.

• You can change the setting only while playback is stopped.
