Getting Started

Before Installation

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 (23˚F and 95˚F).

• Make sure there is good ventilation around the unit. Poor ventilation could cause overheating and damage the unit.

Handling the unit

• DO NOT touch the power cord with wet hands.

• DO NOT pull on the power cord to unplug it. When unplugging

the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage the cord.

• Keep the power cord away from the connecting cords and the antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. It is recommended to use a coaxial cable for antenna connection, since it is well-shielded against interference.

• When a power failure occurs, or when you unplug the power cord, the preset settings such as preset FM or AM channels and sound adjustments may be erased in a few days.

Putting Batteries in the Remote Control

Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.

• When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the unit.

On the back of the remote control, remove the battery cover.

Insert batteries. Make sure to match the polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

Checking the Supplied Accessories

Check to be sure you have all of the following supplied accessories. The number in the parentheses indicates the quantity of the pieces supplied.

• Remote Control (1)

• Batteries (2)

• AM Loop Antenna (1)

• FM Antenna (1)

• Composite Video Cord (1)

If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.

Replace the cover.

If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace the batteries. Use two R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell batteries.

CAUTION:

Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:

• Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity:

(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

• Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may

differ in voltage.

• Always replace both batteries at the same time.

• Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.

Getting Started

Connecting the Speakers

After connecting the front, center and rear speakers, and/or a subwoofer, set the speaker setting information properly to obtain the best possible Surround effect. For details, see page 20.

CAUTIONS:

• Use speakers with the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by the speaker terminals (8 – 16 Ω).

• DO NOT connect more than one speaker to one speaker terminal.

Connecting the front, center, and rear speakers

For each speaker, connect the (+) and (–) terminals on the rear panel to the (+) and (–) terminals marked on the speakers respectively.

Cut, twist and remove the insulation at the end of

each speaker cord (not supplied).

Press and hold the clamp of the speaker terminal (1), then insert the speaker cord (2).

Connecting the subwoofer speaker

By connecting a subwoofer, you can enhance the bass or reproduce the original LFE signals recorded in the digital software.

Powered subwoofer (example)

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.

Speaker information—“SUBWFR (subwoofer),” “FRNT SP (front speaker),” “CNTR SP (center speaker),” and “REAR SP (speaker)”

To obtain the best possible effect from the Surround modes (see pages 25 to 28), register the following information after all connections are completed.

¶ For subwoofer:

Select one of the following settings:

YES : Select this when a subwoofer is connected.

NO : Select this when no subwoofer is used.

Notes:

•“NO” is the initial setting.

• If you have selected “NO” for the subwoofer, you can only select “LARGE” for the front speakers.

¶ For front speakers, center speaker, and rear speakers:

Speaker distance—“FRNT D (front distance),” “CNTR D (center distance),” and “REAR D (distance)”

The distance from your listening point to the speakers is another important element to obtain the best possible surround sound of the Surround modes. You need to 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.

Set the distance from the listening point within the range of 1 ft (0.3 m) to 30 ft (9.0 m), in 1 ft (0.3m) interval.

Select one of the following settings for each speaker:

LRG (large) : Select this when the speaker size is relatively

large.

SML (small) : Select this when the speaker size is relatively

small.

NO : Select this when you have not connected a

speaker. (Not selectable for the front speakers)

Notes:

•“LRG (large)” is the initial setting for the front speakers, “SML (small)” for the center and rear speakers.

• Keep the following comment in mind as reference when adjusting the settings. – If the size of the cone speaker unit built in your speaker is

greater than 4 3/4 inches (12 cm), select “LRG (large),” and if it is smaller than 4 3/4 inches (12 cm), select “SML (small).”

• If you have selected “SML (small)” for the front speakers, you cannot select “LRG (large)” for the center and rear speakers.

■ Dolby Surround

Dolby Pro Logic II*

Dolby Pro Logic II has newly developed multichannel playback

format to decode into 5.1-channel from all 2-channel sources— stereo source and Dolby Digital encoded source. Matrix-based encoding/decoding method for Dolby Pro Logic II makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the rear treble and enables stereo rear sound compared to conventional Dolby Pro Logic.

Dolby Pro Logic II enables 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 sound field very close to the one created with discrete 5.1-channel 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 PRO LOGIC II indicator lights up on the display.

Dolby Digital*

Used to reproduce multichannel 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 10.)

Dolby Digital 5.1-channel encoding method (so-called discrete multichannel digital audio format) records and digitally compresses the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left rear channel, right rear 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 much stereo and surround effects.

■ DTS Digital Surround**

Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround ( ).

• To enjoy the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround, connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this unit. (See page 10.)

DTS Digital Surround is another discrete multichannel 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.

Typical Multichannel (5.1-channel) reproduction

■ DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes

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

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 below). 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.

DAP modes can be used when the front and rear 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).

Note:

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

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.

■ All Channel Stereo

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

All Channel Stereo can be used when the front and rear 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.

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.

DVD Player Operations

7 Disc structure

DVD VIDEO consists of “titles,” and each title may be divided into some “chapters” (see Example 1). For example, if DVD VIDEO contains some movies, each movie may have its own title number, and it may be further divided into some chapters. In DVD VIDEO Karaoke, each song may have its own title number, but it may not be further divided into chapters.

VCD, SVCD, and CD consist of “tracks” (see Example 2). 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.)

7 Playback Control function (PBC)

The Playback Control function allows you to enjoy menu-driven operation.

Example 1: DVD VIDEO

Example 2 : VCD/SVCD/CD

Menu-driven playback

A selection menu is displayed when you start playing 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 on the right about basic feature of menu-driven playback (for details about the operation through the menu, see also page 33).

Note:

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

This unit can play back MP3 files on a CD-R or CD-RW. We call such a disc “MP3 disc” in this instruction.

• Before using the remote control, press DVD to change the remote control operation mode for the MP3 disc operations.

What is MP3?

MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a data compression. By using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain about 10 times as many songs as a regular CD can.

Disc structure

On an MP3 disc, each song (material) 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.”

Up to 99 groups

Up to 150 tracks

This unit can recognize up to 150 tracks per group, and up to 99 groups per disc (up to 14 850 tracks in total). Since the unit ignore the tracks whose numbers are exceeding 150 and the groups whose numbers are exceeding 99, they cannot be played back.

• If there are any type of files other than MP3 files in a folder, those files are also counted in the total file number.

Notes:

• MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout time

than normal discs. (It depends on the complexity of the folder/file configuration.)

• When making an MP3 disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2

as the disc format.

• This unit supports “multi-session” discs (up to 5 sessions).

• This unit cannot play “packet write” discs.

• This unit can play MP3 files only with the following file

extensions: “.MP3,” “.Mp3,” “.mP3,” and “.mp3.”

• ID3* tags cannot be shown on the display.

An MP3 file can contain file information called “ID3 Tag” where its album name, performer, track title, etc. are recorded. There are two versions—ID3v1 (ID3 Tag version 1) and ID3v2 (ID3 Tag version 2).

• It is recommended that you make each MP3 file at sampling rate

of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps. The unit cannot play back the files made at bit rate of under 64 kbps.

• If both MP3 files and JPEG files are recorded on a disc, set the

MP3/JPEG setting in the PICTURE menu to “MP3.” (See page 50.)

• Some MP3 discs may not be played back because of their disc

characteristics or recording conditions.

Notes:

• The following functions are not available to MP3 disc playback: Program playback, random playback, fast-forward/reverse playback, on-screen bar, and choice menus

• Some tracks on an MP3 disc are skipped and may not be played back normally.

What is 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.

Disc structure

On a JPEG disc, each still picture (material) 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.”

Up to 99 groups

Up to 150 files

This unit can recognize up to 150 files per group, and up to 99 groups per disc (up to 14 850 files in total). Since the unit ignore the files whose numbers are exceeding 150 and the groups whose numbers are exceeding 99, they cannot be played back.

• If there are any type files other than JPEG files in a folder, those files are also counted in the total file number.

Notes:

• JPEG discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout

• This unit supports “multi-session” discs (up to 5 sessions).

• This unit cannot play “packet write” discs.

• The unit can play JPEG files only with the following file

extensions: “.jpg,” “.jpeg,” “.JPG,” “.JPEG” and any uppercase and lowercase combinations (such as “.Jpg”).

• It is recommended you to record a file at 640 x 480 resolution. (If

a file has been recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 480, it will take a longer time to be shown.)

• If both JPEG files and MP3 files are recorded on a disc, set the

MP3/JPEG setting in the PICTURE menu to “JPEG.” (See page 50.)

• This system can play only baseline JPEG files*. Progressive

JPEG files* or lossless JPEG files* cannot be played.

– Baseline JPEG format: Used for digital cameras, web, etc. – Progressive JPEG format: Used for web. – Lossless JPEG format: An old type and rarely used now.

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.

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.

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

B/PR, etc., are available.

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 in-between 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.

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.

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.

Multichannel

DVD VIDEO has been designed to have each soundtrack constitute one sound field. Multichannel 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.

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.

Surround

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

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.

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.

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.

AV COMPU LINK Remote Control System

COMPU LINK III

COMPU LINK

AV COMPU LINK-

The AV COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate JVC’s video components (TV and VCR) through the unit.

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 58.

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

CONNECTIONS 1: AV COMPU LINK Connection

VCR

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.

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 58).

• When connecting the VCR only to this unit, connect it directly to the unit using cables with the 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 COMPULINK remote control system, set the component video input correctly (see “Video output mode” on page

22); 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.

AV COMPU LINK Remote Control System

1. If you have already plugged your VCR, TV, and

this unit into the AC outlets, unplug their AC power cords first.

2. Connect your VCR, TV, and this unit following

“CONNECTIONS 1” on the previous page, using the cables with the monaural mini-plugs (not supplied).

3. Connect the audio input/output jacks on VCR,

TV, and this unit using the audio cords.

• See pages 7 to 9.

4. Connect the video input/output jacks on VCR,

TV and this unit following “CONNECTIONS 2” on the previous page, using the composite video cord, with S-video plug or with component video plugs.

5. Plug the AC power cords of the components into

the AC outlets.

6. When turning on the TV for the first time after

the AV COMPU LINK connection, turn the TV volume to the minimum using the TV volume control on the TV.

7. Turn on other connected components first, then

turn on this unit.

• When turning on the VCR, use the remote control supplied with this unit–press STANDBY/ON VCR.

The AV COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to use the five basic functions listed below.

Remote Control of the TV and VCR Using This Remote Control

For details, see page 60 .

• Aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on each target component.

One-Touch DVD Play

Simply by starting playback on the built-in DVD player, you can enjoy the playback without setting other switches manually. The TV automatically turns on and changes the input mode to the appropriate position so that you can view the playback picture.

Automatic Selection of TV’s Input Mode

• When you select TV as the source to play on the unit, the TV automatically changes the input mode to the TV tuner so that you can watch TV.

• When you select DVD, VCR, or DBS as the source to play on the unit, the TV automatically changes the input mode to the appropriate position so that you can view the playback picture.

Notes:

• When connecting a TV with the AV COMPU LINK EX terminal to
