Using the Remote Control Unit
Misuse of batteries could result in leakage. This could cause a fire or explosion.
To prevent this, pay special attention to the following points:
1. Be sure to insert the batteries with correct positive “+” and negative “-” polarities.
2. Do not heat, disassemble or short-circuit batteries and never dispose of batteries by throwing them in a fire.
3. Do not use new and old batteries together.
• Also read the caution displayed on the battery when in use.
*The provided batteries are for checking operation only.
Press the tab to remove the cover of the
battery compartment.
Insert two “AA”(R6, UM-3) dry-cell
batteries.
Replace the cover.

Watching Video
Connect a VCR to INPUT 1 of the JX-S555 and watch the video played back on the VCR.
Connection precautions
• Before making any connections, turn off the power to all
components.
• The S-VIDEO and VIDEO (yellow) terminals do not need
to be connected simultaneously. If your connected VCR or
TV has S-VIDEO input/output terminals, a clearer video
can be viewed by connecting it to the S-VIDEO terminal.
• If both the S-VIDEO input terminal and the VIDEO input
terminal are connected between the VCR and the JX-S555,
the signal from the S-VIDEO input terminal is given priority.
Connection tips
• Connect to the OUTPUT terminals on the JX-S555 so
that the VCR can be used as a recording machine.

have the S-VIDEO inputs/outputs. This will allow you enjoy
video with a higher picture quality.
• If both the S-VIDEO input terminal and the VIDEO input terminal are connected between the VCR and the JX-S555,
the signal from the S-VIDEO input terminal is given priority.
Connection tips
• Connect to the OUTPUT
1
terminals on the JX-S555
so that VCR 1 can be used as a recording machine.
(Connect the output terminals on VCR 2 to the INPUT
2
terminals on the JX-S555.)

•The S-VIDEO input/output connectors are terminals for the
Y/C (luminance/chrominance) separate video signals.
•If these connectors are connected to a VCR equipped with
S-VIDEO connectors, recording and playback of clearer
video becomes possible by reducing loss in the video signal.
Useful Tips
S-VIDEO input/output connectors
• The output circuits of the JX-S555 incorporate circuitry for
separating the video signals input through the VIDEO terminals (composite signal) into Y/C (luminance/chrominance)
signals.
This feature is convenient in dubbing from a VCR without SVIDEO connectors to a VCR equipped with them or watching the video from a VCR without S-VIDEO connectors on a
TV equipped with them.
Y/C separator
Y/C mixer
•A VCR not equipped with S-VIDEO connectors should be
connected to the VIDEO terminals, which transmit the signal obtained by synthesizing the Y/C signals (composite
signal).
•The output circuits of the JX-S555 incorporate circuitry for
mixing the video signals input through the S-VIDEO terminals (separate signals) into a composite video signal.
This feature is convenient in dubbing from a VCR equipped
with S-VIDEO terminals to a VCR without them.

LOOP PROTECT function
䡵 LOOP PROTECT ON
(Signal cannot be output to itself)
(The LOOP PROTECT indicator is lit)
The LOOP PROTECT ON/OFF function determines whether the input (video/audio) signal is output to the corresponding output terminal. Normally leave this button ON.
Connect INPUT/OUTPUT 1 on the JX-S555 to VCR 1 and
INPUT/OUTPUT 2 to VCR 2 to enable both to be used as
recording or playback decks in multi-dubbing.
The video/audio signals from VCR1 are output to VCR2 but
they are also output to VCR1 (because the OUTPUT
1
of
the JX-S555 is connected to the input of VCR1).
In this case, the image from VCR 1 will be degraded, preventing high-quality dubbing. Set the LOOP PROTECT function to ON to prevent signal deterioration and stop output to
OUTPUT
1
.
䡵 LOOP PROTECT OFF
(Signal can be output to itself)
(The LOOP PROTECT indicator is off)
When dubbing from VCR 1 to 2 different VCRs, one more
set of OUTPUT terminals is required when connecting INPUT/OUTPUT 1 on the JX-S555 to the INPUT/OUTPUT on
VCR 1.
When you want to extend a set of the OUTPUT terminals,
set the LOOP PROTECT function to OFF, and connect the
OUTPUT
1
terminals on the JX-S555 to the recording VCR.
When the LOOP PROTECT function is set to OFF, the same
signal can be output to all the OUTPUT terminals.

Also, even when the SOURCE SELECT button is pressed by
mistake, the dubbing lock function keeps the signal output

Component terminals
OPTICAL connector
Useful Tips (continued)
•Component connection is recommended when connecting
a DVD player or DBS (equipped with component input terminals) to a TV.
Since a DVD disc is encoded with a component video (Y
color difference) signal format it can reproduce better quality
color than the composite or S-VIDEO signal used in a VCR.
With a component connection, the signal encoded on a DVD
disc can be output in its original form to maintain the highest quality picture.
•High quality digital audio recording is possible from a DVD
player or DBS to an MD recorder using the JX-S555’s OPTI-
CAL connector.
An OPTICAL connector outputs the digital audio from a DVD
player or DBS as an optical signal to maintain its purity.

Multi-dubbing
Capability of using more than one VCR for dubbing by
selecting any of them as the player and recorder.
S-VIDEO signal
Signal obtained by separating the composite video signal
into the luminance and chrominance signals. This makes
the video clearer with fewer blurs in the colors.
Composite video signal
Signal composed of the luminance (Y) and chrominance
(C) signals of the S-Video signals.
Component terminals
Means for transmission of high-quality video signals (Y/
Pb/Pr and Y/Cb/Cr) from a DVD player, etc. to a high-performance video monitor without interference between the
signal components.
OPTICAL (digital) connector
Means for transmission of high-quality digital audio signal
from a digital player component such as a CD player or a
DVD player to a digital recorder component such as an
MD recorder.
