For U.S.A

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer for compliance could void the user’s authority to oprate the equipment.

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer‘s attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Before Installation

Precautions

General Precautions

• DO NOT insert any metal object into the unit.

• DO NOT disassemble the unit or remove screws, covers, or cabinet.

• DO NOT expose the unit to rain or moisture.

Locations

• Install the unit in a location that is level and protected from moisture.

• The temperature around the unit must be between 5˚C and 35˚C (41˚F and 95˚F).

Connecting the subwoofer speaker

By connecting a subwoofer, you can enhance the bass or reproduce the original LFE signals recorded in the digital software. Connect the input jack of a powered subwoofer to the SUBWOOFER OUT jack on the rear panel, using a cable with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).

• Refer also to the manual supplied with your subwoofer.

Note:

• You can place a subwoofer wherever you like since bass sound is non-directional. Normally place it in front of you.

To obtain the best possible sound from this system, place all the speakers except the subwoofer at the same distance from the listening position with each speaker’s front faced toward the listener. Then, change the subwoofer and speaker settings to fit your listening conditions (see pages 22 to 24).

• You can set the speakers quickly according to the number of speakers you have connected. See “Setting Speakers Quickly” on page 21.

Getting Started

Connecting Audio/Video Components

Turn off all the components and the unit before connection.

• Illustrations of the input/output terminals below are typical examples. When you connect other components, refer also to their manuals since the terminal names actually printed on their rear vary among the components.

The distance from your listening point to the speakers is another important element to obtain the best possible surround sound from the Surround modes. Set the distance from your listening point to the speakers. By referring to the speaker distance setting, this unit automatically sets the delay time of the sound through each speaker so that sounds through all the speakers can reach you at the same time.

• If you have used Quick Setup (see page 21), this setting is not required.

Set the distance from the listening point within the range of

0.3 m (1 ft) to 9.0 m (30 ft), in 0.3 m (1 ft) intervals.

Notes:

• “10ft” is the initial setting.

• If you have selected “NO” for the center and surround speakers setting, you cannot set the speaker distance for the center and surround speakers.

Ex.:In this case, set “FRNT D” to “11ft,”

set “CNTR D” to “10ft” and set “SURR D” to “9ft.”

Select one of the following settings:

80Hz Select when the cone speaker unit built in the

speaker is about 12 cm (4 3/4 inches).

100Hz Select when the cone speaker unit built in the

speaker is about 10 cm (3

/16 inches) (initial

setting).

120Hz Select when the cone speaker unit built in the

speaker is about 8 cm (3 3/16 inches).

Note:

• Crossover frequency is not valid for the HEADPHONE mode.

7 Low frequency effect attenuator

“LFE”

If the bass sound is distorted while playing back software encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS, set the LFE level to eliminate distortion.

• This function takes effect only when LFE signals come in.

Select one of the following settings:

0dB Normally select this (initial setting).

–10dB Select when the bass sound is distorted.

7 Crossover frequency

“CROSS”

Small speakers cannot reproduce the bass sounds efficiently. If you use a small speaker in any position, this unit automatically reallocates the bass sound elements assigned to the small speaker to the large speakers. To use this function properly, set the crossover frequency level according to the size of the small speaker connected.

• If you have selected “LRG (large)” for all speakers, this function will not take effect.

7 Dynamic range compression

“D.COMP”

You can compress the dynamic range (difference between maximum sound and minimum sound) of the reproduced sound. This is useful when enjoying surround sound at night.

• This function takes effect only when playing back a source encoded with Dolby Digital.

Select one of the following settings:

MID Select when you want to reduce the dynamic

range a little (initial setting).

MAX Select when you want to apply the compression

effect fully. (Useful at night.)

OFF Select when you want to enjoy surround with its full

dynamic range. (No effect applied.)

About auto memory

This unit memorizes the settings for each source:

• when you turn off the power (see page 12),

• when you change the source (see page 12),

• when you change the source name (see page 13), and

• when you change the analog/digital input mode (see page 14).

When you change the source, the memorized settings for the newly selected source are automatically recalled. The following can be stored for each source:

• Analog/digital input mode (see page 14)

• Input attenuator mode (see page 15)

• Front speaker output balance (see page 26)

• Speaker output level (see the left column)

• Tone adjustment (see the left column)

■ Dolby surround

Dolby Pro Logic II*

Dolby Pro Logic II is a playback format to decode into 5.1-

channel from all 2-channel sources—stereo sources and Dolby surround encoded sources. Matrix-based encoding/decoding method for Dolby Pro Logic II makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the surround treble and enables stereo surround sound compared to conventional Dolby Pro Logic.

• You cannot select Dolby Pro Logic II when playing back DVD AUDIO.

Dolby Pro Logic II enables you to reproduce spacious sound from original sound without adding any new sounds and tonal colorations. Dolby Pro Logic II has two modes—Movie mode and Music mode:

Pro Logic II Movie (PL II MOVIE)—suitable for reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded sources bearing the mark

and stereo television sources. You can enjoy a sound field very close to the one created with discrete 5.1channel sounds. Pro Logic II Music (PL II MUSIC)—suitable for reproduction of any 2-channel stereo music sources. You can enjoy wide and deep sound by using this mode.

• When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the

DTS Digital Surround**

Used to reproduce multi-channel sound tracks of software encoded with DTS Digital Surround (

• To use software encoded with DTS Digital Surround, connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this unit. (See page 11.)

DTS Digital Surround is another discrete multi-channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software. Compared to Dolby Digital, audio compression ratio is relatively low. This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format to add breadth and depth to the reproduced sounds. As a result, DTS Digital Surround features natural, solid and clear sound.

Note:

• Dolby Digital or DTS software can be roughly grouped into two categories—multi-channel (up to 5.1-channel) and 2-channel software. To enjoy surround sounds while playing Dolby Digital 2channel or DTS software, you can use Dolby Pro Logic II.

Dolby Digital*

Used to reproduce multi-channel sound tracks of the software encoded with Dolby Digital (

• To enjoy the software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this unit. (See page 11.)

Dolby Digital 5.1-channel encoding method (so-called discrete multi-channel digital audio format) records and digitally compresses the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left surround channel, right surround channel, and LFE channel signals. Since each channel is completely independent from the other channel signals to avoid interference, you can obtain much better sound quality with many stereo and surround effects.

■ DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes

DAP modes have been designed to create important acoustic surround elements.

• You cannot select DAP modes when playing back DVD

AUDIO.

The sound heard in a live club, dance club, hall or pavilion consists of direct sound and indirect sound—early reflections and reflections from behind. Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any reflection. On the other hand, indirect sounds are delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls (see the diagram on the next page).

These indirect sounds are important elements of the acoustic surround effects. The DAP mode can reproduce a realistic sound field by adding these indirect sounds.

“DTS” and “DTS Digital Surround” are registered trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.

Creating Realistic Sound Fields

DAP modes can be used when the front and surround speakers are connected to this unit (without respect to the center speaker connection: no sound comes out of the center speaker even if it is connected).

The following DAP modes are provided for this unit:

LIVE CLUB Gives the feeling of a live music club with a

low ceiling.

DANCE CLUB Gives a throbbing bass beat.

HALL Gives clear vocal and the feeling of a

concert hall.

PAVILION Gives the spacious feeling of a pavilion with

a high ceiling.

These DAP modes can be used to add the acoustic surround effects while reproducing 2-channel stereo software, either analog or Linear PCM digital signal, and can give you a real “being there” feeling.

• When one of the DAP modes is selected, the DSP indicator lights up on the display.

Creating sound field

Reflections from behind

Early reflections

■ All Channel Stereo

This mode can reproduce a larger stereo sound field using all the connected (and activated) speakers.

• You cannot select All Channel Stereo when playing back DVD AUDIO.

All Channel Stereo can be used when the front and surround speakers are connected to this receiver without respect to the center speaker connection.

If the center speaker is connected and activated, the same phases of the front left and right signals are mixed and output through the center speaker.

All Channel Stereo can be used while reproducing 2-channel stereo software, either analog or Linear PCM digital signal.

• When All Channel Stereo is selected, the DSP indicator lights up on the display.

Note on Region Code

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

Ex.:

If a DVD VIDEO with the wrong Region Code numbers is loaded, “REGION CODE ERROR!” appears on the TV and playback cannot start.

Notes on CD-R and CD-RW

• User-edited CD-R (Recordable) and CD-RW (ReWritable) can be played back only if they are already “finalized.”

• The unit can play back CD-R or CD-RW recorded on a personal computer if they have been recorded in the audio CD format or in MP3 format. The unit can also play back CD-R or CD-RW if MP3 files or JPEG files are recorded on them. However, they may not be played back because of their disc characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stain on them. Especially, the configuration and characteristics of an MP3 disc or a JPEG disc is determined by the writing (encoding) software and hardware used for recording. Therefore, due to the software and hardware used, the following symptoms may occur: – Some discs may not be played back. – Some tracks on an MP3 disc are skipped and may not

be played back normally.

– Some files on a JPEG disc may be played back

distortedly.

• Before playing back CD-R or CD-RW, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

• CD-RW may require a longer readout time. It is caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RW is lower than for regular audio CD.

• This unit can also play back MP3 and JPEG (still picture) files recorded on CD-R and CD-RW. For details about MP3, see “MP3 Disc Playback” on pages 47 and 48 and about JPEG, see “JPEG Disc Playback” on pages 49 and 50.

• The following discs cannot be played back:

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

• On some DVD VIDEO, DVD AUDIO, VCD, or SVCD, 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.

• You can play back DVD-R recorded with the DVD VIDEO format, but some may not be played back because of the disc characteristics or recording conditions.

IMPORTANT: Before playing a disc, make sure of the following...

• Check the connection with the TV.

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

• For disc playback, you can change the initial setting to your preference. (See pages 51 to 59.)

7 Disc structure

DVD VIDEO consists of “titles,” and each title may be divided into some “chapters.” For example, if a DVD VIDEO contains some movies, each movie may have its own title number and it may be further divided into some chapters. In a DVD VIDEO Karaoke, each song may have its own title number, but it may not be further divided into chapters.

DVD AUDIO consists of “groups,” and each group may be divided into some “tracks.” Some DVD AUDIOs also contain a “bonus group” that can be played back by entering the “key number” (a kind of password). Usually the contents of “bonus group” are not open to the public. Note that most DVD AUDIOs include much information in addition to audio, such as still pictures, movies, and text.

VCD, SVCD, and CD consist of “tracks.” In general, each track has its own track number. (On some discs, each track may also be divided by Indexes. This unit is not compatible with Index function.)

On a JPEG disc, each still picture is recorded as a file. Files are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also include other folders, creating hierarchical folder layers. This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc and manages folders by “groups.”

• This unit can recognize and play back up to 150 files per group and up to 99 groups per disc (up to 14,850 files in total). Files whose numbers exceed 150 and groups whose numbers exceed 99 cannot be played back.

7 Playback Control function (PBC)—VCD and

SVCD only

The Playback Control function enables menu-driven operation.

Menu-driven playback

A selection menu is displayed when you start playing a VCD and SVCD with the Playback Control feature. The selection menu shows a list of numbers for selection. Some discs may show moving pictures or a divided screen. You can interact with the screen using a menu display to select and play an entry. See the example illustration below about basic feature of menu-driven playback (for details about the operation through the menu, see also page 36).

On an MP3 disc, each song is recorded as a file. Files are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also include other folders, creating hierarchical folder layers. This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc and manages files and folders by “tracks” and “groups.”

• This unit can recognize and play back up to 150 tracks per group and up to 99 groups per disc (up to 14,850 tracks in total). Tracks whose numbers exceed 150 and groups whose numbers exceed 99 cannot be played back.

Note:

• While operating a VCD or SVCD using the menu, some of the functions such as repeat play may not work.

Glossary for DVD Player

Aspect ratio

The ratio of vertical and horizontal sizes of a displayed image. The horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3 and that of wide-screen TVs is 16:9.

Chapter

The smallest division on DVD VIDEO. It is a division of a title and similar to a track for CD or VCD.

Component video signal

A video signal system where parts of information necessary for reproducing image signal comprised of the three primary colors of light are transmitted via separate signal lines. Types of signal, such as R/G/B, Y/P are available.

B/PR, etc.,

Composite video signal

A video signal comprised of three kinds of signals combined: an image signal made up of luminance and chrominance signals using the frequency multiplication technique, burst signal providing the basis for color reproduction, and synchronization signal.

Disc menu

A screen display prepared for allowing selection of images, sounds, subtitles, multi-angle, etc. recorded on DVD VIDEO.

Interlaced scanning

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

JPEG

A still-picture data compression system proposed by the Joint Photographic Expert Group, which features little distortion in image quality in spite of its high compression ratio.

Letter box

A method of displaying wide images like movies in on a 4:3 TV screen with no part of the image deleted by placing black bands on the top and bottom of the screen. This name has derived from the screen form looking literally like a letter box.

Linear PCM (PCM: Pulse Code Modulation)

A system for converting analog sound signal to digital signal for later processing with no data compression used in conversion.

MP3

A file format with a sound data compression system. “MP3” is the abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. By using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain about 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can.

Multi-angle

By recording multiple scenes progressing at the same time in a single title, the user can select view angles. This feature is called the multi-angle function.

Multi-channel

DVD VIDEO has been designed to have each soundtrack constitute one sound field. Multi-channel refers to a structure of sound tracks having three or more channels.

Multilanguage

When a title is created to cope with multiple languages, it is generally called a multilanguage title.

Packed PCM (PCM: Pulse Code Modulation)

A format for DVD AUDIO with a compression ratio of about 2:1. This supports up to 192 kHz/24 bit and allows PCM signals to be completely recreated.

Parental Lock

A feature of this system to automatically determine whether or not to reproduce particular DVD VIDEO software by comparing its parental level (a measure of undesirability of scenes, etc. from educational viewpoint) set for the software beforehand with that set on this system by the user; if the software’s level is less restrictive than the user-set level, it will be reproduced.

Playback control (PBC)

Refers to the signal recorded on VCD/SVCD for controlling reproduction. By using menu screens recorded on VCD/SVCD that supports PBC, you can enjoy interactive-type software as well as software having a search function.

Progressive scanning

By progressive scanning, all the horizontal lines of a picture are displayed at one time as a single frame. This system can convert the interlaced video from DVD VIDEO into progressive format for connection to a progressive TV. It dramatically increases the vertical resolution.

Region code

A system for allowing discs to be played back only in the regions designated beforehand. All the countries in the world are divided into six regions and each region is identified by a specified region code (or region number). If the region code of a disc matches that of a player, the player can play back the disc.

Sampling frequency

Frequency of sampling data when analog data is converted to digital data. Sampling frequency numerically represents how many times the original analog signal is sampled per second.

Surround

A system for creating three-dimensional sound fields full of realism by arranging multiple speakers around the listener.

Transfer rate

The rate of transferring digital data. Usually the measure is in bit per second (bps). The DVD system applies a variable transfer rate system for high efficiency.

This unit is equipped with the AV COMPU LINK-III, which has added a function to operate JVC’s video components through the video components terminals. To use this remote control system, you need to connect the video components you want to operate, following the diagrams below and the procedures on page 62.

• Refer also to the manuals supplied with your video components.

CONNECTIONS 1: AV COMPU LINK Connection

CAUTION:

When connecting the TV with the AV COMPU LINK remote control system, connect the unit to the AV COMPU LINK III or AV COMPU LINK EX terminal. DO NOT connect the unit to the AV COMPU LINK RECEIVER/AMP terminal.

VCR

Notes:

• When connecting the unit and a TV with the AV COMPU LINK EX terminal by using a component video cable, you cannot use Automatic Selection of TV’s Input Mode (see page 62).

• When connecting the VCR only to this unit, connect it directly to the unit using cables with monaural mini-plugs.

CONNECTIONS 2: Video Cable Connection

This unit is equipped with three types of the video terminals—composite video, S-video, and component video, and the signals coming into this unit through one type of video terminals can output only through the terminal of the same type. So you need to connect the VCR and TV to this unit using one of the following two ways—CASE 1 or 2:

• When using the AV COMPU LINK remote control system, set the component video input correctly (see “Video output mode” on page 25); otherwise, the correct input for this unit will not be selected on the TV.

CASE 1 When connecting the source equipment to the unit through the S-video terminals, connect this unit to the

TV’s Video Input 1 terminal using S-video cables.

CASE 2 When connecting the source equipment to the unit through the composite video terminals, connect this

unit to the TV’s Video Input 2 terminal (composite video input) using composite video cables.

CASE 3 When setting the video output mode of the built-in DVD player to “component,” connect this unit to the

TV’s Video Input 2 terminals (component video input) using component video cables.

Operating Other Manufacturers’ Equipment

If you have already plugged your VCR, TV, and this unit into the AC outlets, unplug their AC power cords first.

Connect your VCR, TV, and this unit following “CONNECTIONS 1” on the previous page, using cables with monaural mini-plugs (not supplied).
