Introduction

We would like to thank you for purchasing one of our JVC products.

Before operating this unit, read this manual carefully and thoroughly to

obtain the best possible performance from your unit, and retain this manual

for future reference.

About This Manual

This manual is organized as follows:

• The manual mainly explains operations using the

buttons and controls on the unit. You can also use the buttons on the remote control if they have the same or similar names (or marks) as those on the unit. If operation using the remote control is different from that using the unit, it is then explained.

• Basic and common information that is the same for many functions is grouped in one place, and is not repeated in each procedure. For instance, we do not repeat the information about turning on/off the unit, setting the volume, changing the sound effects, and others, which are explained in the section “Common Operations” on pages 10 to 12.

• The following marks are used in this manual:

Gives you warnings and cautions to prevent damage or risk of fire/electric shock. Also gives you information which is not good for obtaining the best possible performance from the unit.

Gives you information and hints you had better know.

Power sources

• When unplugging from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the AC power cord.

DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet hands.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in the following cases:

• After starting heating in the room

• In a damp room

• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm place

Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this case, leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, and then plug it in again.

Others

• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit, unplug the unit and consult your dealer before operating any further.

• If you are not going to operate the unit for an extended period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.

Precautions

Installation

• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold — between 5˚C (41˚F) and 35˚C (95˚F).

• Install the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat built-up in the unit.

• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.

• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference with TV.

DO NOT install the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.

DO NOT disassemble the unit since there are no user serviceable parts inside.

If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer.

FM antenna (supplied)

FM [75 ]

1 Attach the FM antenna to the FM [75 Ω]

coaxial terminal.

2 Extend the FM antenna. 3 Fasten it up in the position which gives you

the best reception, then fix it on the wall, etc.

About the supplied FM antenna

The FM antenna supplied with this unit can be used as temporary measure. If reception is poor, you can connect an outdoor FM antenna.

About sounds reproduced through the rear terminals

• Through the LINE OUT (L/R) jacks and MAIN SPEAKERS/SUBWOOFER terminals:

Analog stereo signals are output. When playing a source encoded with Dolby Digital* ( ), multichannel signals are mixed to the left and right front channel signals, then output.

– You cannot reproduce the sound encoded DTS Digital

Surround** ( ).

• Through the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) terminal: Digital signals (Linear PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS Digital Surround) are output through this terminal. To reproduce the multichannel sounds such as Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround, connect an amplifier or a decoder compatible with these multichannel sources to this terminal, and set “DIGITAL OUTPUT” settings correctly. (See page 29.)

Disc Introduction—DVD/VCD/CD

Disc structure — DVD, Video CD (VCD) and Audio CD (CD)

A DVD disc consists of Titles, and each title may be divided into some Chapters. (See Example 1.) For example, if a DVD disc contains some movies, each movie may have its own title number, and it may be further divided into some chapters. On the other hand, a VCD or CD consists of Tracks. (See Example 2.) In general, each song has its own track number. (On some discs, each track may also be divided by Indexes.) When playing back a VCD with Playback Control (PBC) function, you can select what to view using the menu shown on the TV screen. (While operating a Video CD using the menu, some of the functions such as Repeat and Variable Speed Search may not work.)

Example 1: DVD disc

• On some DVD or VCD discs, their actual operations may be different from what is explained in this manual. This is due to the disc programming and disc structure, but not a malfunction of this unit.

• The following discs cannot be played back; – DVD-Audio, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-R,

DVD-RW, CD-ROM, CD-I, (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, etc. Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the speakers.

* Note on Region Code

DVD players and DVD Video discs have their own Region Code numbers. This unit only can play back DVD discs recorded with the color system of NTSC whose Region Code numbers include “1.”

Examples:

IMPORTANT: Before performing any operations, make

sure of the following....

• Check the connection with the TV.

• Turn on the TV and select the correct input on the TV to view the pictures or on-screen indications on the TV screen.

• For DVD playback, you can change the Setup menu setting to your preference. (See pages 28 – 30.)

If “ INVALID” appears on the TV screen when pressing a button, the disc cannot accept the operation

you have tried to do.

Example 2 : Video CD/Audio CD

Note on CD-R and CD-RW

User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) can be played back only if they are already “finalized.”

• The player can play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded on a personal computer only if it has been recorded in the audio CD format. (However, they may not be played back depending on their characteristics or recording conditions.)

• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if the player’s lens is dirty.

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.
