Precautions

General precautions

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

• DO NOT expose the unit to rain or moisture.

• DO NOT expose the unit to direct sunlight or place it near a heating device.

Locations

• Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from moisture and dust. If water gets inside the unit, turn off the power and remove the plug from the outlet, then consult your dealer. Using the unit in this state may cause a fire or electrical shock.

• Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold between 5˚C and 35˚C

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

• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.

• Do not install the unit in a place subject to vibrations.

Handling the receiver

• DO NOT touch the power cord with wet hands.

• DO NOT pull on the power cord to unplug the cord. 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.

• When you are away on travel or otherwise for an extended period or time, remove the plug from the wall outlet. A small amount of power is always consumed while the power cord is connected to the wall outlet.

To prevent the malfunction

• There are no user-servicable parts inside. If anything goes wrong, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer.

• Do not insert any metallic objects, such as wires, hairpins, coins, etc. into the unit.

• Do not block the vents. Blocking the vents may damage the unit.

To clean the cabinet

• Use a soft cloth. Follow the relevant instructions on the use of chemically-coated cloths.

• Do not use benzene, thinner or other organic solvents and disinfectants. These may cause deformation or discoloring.

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 front panel.

Press and slide the battery cover on the back of the remote control.

Insert batteries.

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

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.

• Supplied butteries are for initial setup. Replace for continued use.

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.

Setting the voltage selector

Before connections, always do the following first if necessary. Select the correct voltage in VOLTAGE SELECTOR on the rear of the receiver by using a screw driver. Check to be sure if the voltage mark is set to the voltage for your area where this unit plugs in.

English

Checking the supplied accessories

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

• Remote control (1)

• Batteries (2)

• AM loop antenna (1)

• FM antenna (1)

• Digital coaxial cord (1)

Activating the Progressive scanning mode using the remote control unit

When the player is turned on and the 525i/525p/REMOTE selector is set to “REMOTE,” press and hold down PROGRESSIVE for a few seconds. The scanning mode switches between the Progressive scanning and Interlaced scanning modes. When the scanning mode is set to the Progressive mode, the PROGRESSIVE indicator on the front panel turns on. Depending on the [PICTURE SOURCE] setting on the [PICTURE] preference display and whether the current DVD VIDEO disc is film-source or video-source, the color of the indicator differs, as shown in the table below.

NOTES

• The Progressive scanning mode works only when you connect the

player’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to your TV.

• The Progressive scanning mode works only when the signal format

is NTSC.

• There are some progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets that

are not fully compatible with the player, resulting in the unnatural picture when playing back a DVD VIDEO disc in the Progressive scanning mode. In such a case, use the Interlaced scanning mode. To check the compatibility of your TV set, contact your local JVC customer service center.

• All JVC progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets are fully

compatible with the player (Example: AV-61S902).

• The VIDEO jack, S-VIDEO jack and COMPONENT VIDEO OUT

jacks cannot be used at the same time. Connect cable(s) only to the jack(s) you want to use.

Progressive scan video playback available

In the Progressive scanning mode, you can enjoy high quality picture with less flickers when the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks are connected to a TV or monitor that supports the progressive video input.

About the scanning mode

Depending on the material source format, DVD VIDEO discs can be classified into two types; film source and video source (note that some DVD VIDEO discs contain both film source and video source). Film sources are recorded as 24-frame-per-second information, while (NTSC) video sources are recorded as 30-frame-per-second (60-fieldper-second interlaced) information. When the player plays back a film source material, uninterlaced progressive output signals are created using the original information. When a video source material is played back, the player interleaves lines between the interlaced lines on each to create the interpolated picture and outputs as the progressive signal.

To obtain the best possible surround effect from Surround/DSP modes (see pages 26 to 31), you need to set up the speaker and subwoofer information after all the connections are completed. You can set the speaker information using one of the following three methods.

Smart Surround Setup: Set the speakers information automatically by one simple action—clapping hands. The delay time and output level for

Quick Setup: Set the speakers and subwoofer information quickly by entering the use of the subwoofer, the number of the speakers,

Manual Setup: Set the speakers and subwoofer information manually.

• Before starting the speaker setting, connect and position the speakers and subwoofer (see page 7) and turn on the receiver.

Setting the speakers information automatically—Smart Surround Setup

The distance from your listening point to the speakers is one of the important element to obtain the best possible sound effect for the Surround/DSP modes. You need to set the delay time of the center and surround speakers relative to the front speakers so that sounds through all the speakers can reach you at the same time (see also page 19). By using Smart Surround Setup, the speaker delay time and output level are automatically calculated by one simple action—clapping hands.

• To set the speaker information effectively using Smart Surround Setup, unplug the power cords of all the components connected to this receiver such as a TV, DVD player, DBS tuner, and VCR which may cause noise.

• To use Smart Surround Setup effectively, connect both the center and surround speakers.

• You can also set the crossover frequency, the low frequency effect attenuator and the dynamic range compression manually (see page

19).

• When you change your speakers, do the following steps again.

Setting the speaker delay time

— CNTR DL (center speaker delay),

SURR DL (surround speakers delay)

You can set the speaker delay time easily by using Smart Surround Setup (see page 16) or Quick Setup (see page 17).

The distance from your listening point to the speakers is one of the important element to obtain the best possible surround sound for the Surround modes. You need to set the delay time of the center and surround speakers relative to the front speakers so that sounds through all the speakers can reach you at the same time.

• 1 msec increase (or decrease) in delay time corresponds to 30 cm increase (or decrease) in distance.

CNTR DL*: Set the delay time for the center speaker within a

range of 0 msec to 5 msec (in 1 msec intervals).

SURR DL*: Set the delay time for the surround speakers within a

range of 0 msec to 15 msec (in 1 msec intervals).

* “0ms” is the initial setting.

Setting the crossover frequency—CROSS

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

• If you have selected “LRG (large)” for all speakers (see page 18), this function will not take effect.

80HZ: Select when the cone speaker unit built in the

speaker is about 12 cm.

100HZ: Select when the cone speaker unit built in the

speaker is about 10 cm.

120HZ: Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker

is about 8 cm.

150HZ*: Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker

Reproducing theater ambience

In a movie theater, many speakers are located on the walls to reproduce impressive multi-surround sound, reaching you from all directions. With these many speakers, sound localization and sound movement can be expressed. Surround/DSP modes built in this receiver can create almost the same surround sound as you can feel in a real movie theater.

Introducing the Surround/DSP modes

You can use the following Surround/DSP modes with this receiver.

■ Surround modes

• Dolby Pro Logic II

• Dolby Digital

• DTS

■ DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes

• DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes

• All Channel Stereo

■ Surround modes

Dolby Pro Logic II*

Dolby Pro Logic II has a newly developed multi-channel playback format to decode all 2 channel sources—stereo source and Dolby Surround encoded source—into 5.1 channel. 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.

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—suitable for reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded sources bearing the mark sound field very close to the one created with discrete 5.1 channel sounds. Pro Logic II Music—suitable for reproduction of any 2-channel stereo music sources. You can enjoy wide and deep sound by using this mode. For this mode, Panorama control can be selected, which gives “wraparound” sound effect with side-wall image.

• When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the PLII indicator lights up on the display.

. You can enjoy a

* Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. “Dolby”, “Pro

Logic”, and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.

Dolby Digital*

Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed by Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and decoding (1 channel up to 5.1 channel). Dolby Digital 5.1 channel encoding method records and digitally compresses the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left surround channel, right surround channel, and LFE channel signals (total 6 channels, but the LFE channel is counted as 0.1 channel. Therefore, it is called 5.1 channel). Dolby Digital enables stereo surround sounds, and sets the cutoff frequency of the surround treble at 20 kHz, compared to 7 kHz for Dolby Pro Logic. As such, the sound movement and “being-there” feeling are enhanced much more than Dolby Pro Logic.

• To enjoy software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver. (See pages 8 and 12.)

NOTE

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

Creating realistic sound fields

DTS**

DTS is another digital signal compression method, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., and enables multi-channel encoding and decoding. DTS Digital Surround is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software. Compared to Dolby Digital, the DTS Digital Surround format has a lower audio compression rate, which enables it to add breadth and depth to the sounds reproduced. As such, DTS Digital Surround features natural, solid and clear sound.

• To enjoy the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround, connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver. (See pages 8 and 12.)

■ DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes

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 create these important elements, and give you a real “being there” feeling.

Reflections from behind

Early reflections

The following DAP modes are provided with this receiver:

LIVE CLUB: Reproduces the spatial feeling of a live music club

with a low ceiling.

DANCE CLUB: Reproduces the spatial feeling of a rocking dance

club.

HALL: Reproduces the spatial feeling of a hall for

classical recitals.

PAVILION: Reproduces the spatial feeling of an exhibition

hall.

These DAP modes can be used to add 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 surround speakers are connected to this receiver without respect to the center speaker connection.

• If the center speaker is connected and activated, the same phase 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.

English

Direct sounds

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

Resuming playback

The player can memorize the position on a disc where you interrupt playback, and resume playback from that position later. There are three resume modes; ON, OFF and DISC RESUME. The mode is initially set to ON when you purchased the player.

• You can select the mode using the preference display (see page 59).

When the resume mode is “ON”

When you press 7, the player stops playback and memorizes the interrupted position. The TV screen shows [RESUME STOP] and the [RESUME] indicator lights up in the display window. The memory of the interrupted position is not cleared if you turn off the player. When you turn off the player after setting the resume function, simply press 3. The player is turned on, and playback starts from

the interrupted position. If you turn on the player by pressing then press 3, playback starts from the beginning of the disc. Note that the memory is cleared if you open the disc tray.

When the resume mode is “DISC RESUME”

When you press 7, the player stops playback and memorizes the interrupted position. The TV screen shows [RESUME STOP] and the [RESUME] indicator lights up in the display window.

The memory of the interrupted position is not cleared if you open the disc tray or turn off the player.

Hint

The player memorizes interrupted positions for the last 30 discs played. Storing a new interrupted position will erase the interrupted position stored for the first disc.

To stop playback completely

Press 7.

Hint

If you press 0 during playback, the player stops playback and opens the disc tray.

To stop playback temporarily

Press 8.

To resume playback, press 3. (See the following item.)

NOTE

When playback is stopped temporarily while the KARAOKE function is turned on, the input signal from the MIC jack is not output.

To clear the memory

Press 7 while the disc is stopped.

Basic operations

To resume playback

When the resume mode is “ON”

While the disc you interrupted playback is still on the disc tray, press 3.

The player resumes playback from the position where playback was interrupted. The TV screen shows [RESUME PLAY].

To play back from the beginning

Press 7 before pressing 3 to start playback.

When the resume mode is “DISC RESUME”

1 Press 0 to insert a disc for which the player

has stored an interrupted position.

The TV screen shows [RESUME STOP].

2 Press 3.

The TV screen shows [RESUME PLAY] and the player resumes playback from the position where playback was interrupted.

To play back from the beginning

After inserting the disc, press 7 before pressing 3 to start playback.

NOTES

• If you change the [RESUME] setting from [DISC RESUME] to [OFF] or [ON], you cannot resume playback of a disc whose “resuming” position is stored. However, when you again set [RESUME] to [DISC RESUME], you will then be able to resume playback of the disc.

• If you interrupt the playback of a disc for which an interrupted position has already been stored, the memory will be updated with the new interrupted position.

• For a double-sided DVD VIDEO disc, the player regards each side as a different disc. Therefore, to resume playback of such a disc, the disc must be inserted with the same side down.

• When the player memorizes an interrupted point for a disc, it also memorizes Audio, Subtitle and Angle settings.

• As for WMA files, make sure that the copyright feature is set to off.

• As for WMA files, we recommend you to record your material at a bit rate of 64 kbps or higher.

Basic operations

Use the following buttons to control MP3/WMA disc playback.

English

NOTE

When operating the player, set the mode selector to “DV D.”

Operations

The player can play back MP3 files and WMA files on a home recorded CD-R/RW disc or commercially available CD. We refer to a disc that contains MP3 and/or WMA files as an “MP3/WMA disc” in this manual. Note that if a disc contains both of MP3/WMA files and JPEG files, you can only play back files of the type selected by the [MP3&WMA/JPEG] setting in the [PICTURE] preference display. (see page 59).

About MP3/WMA discs

On an MP3/WMA disc, each song is recorded as a file (track). Files are sometimes grouped into folders by artists, album, etc.

• Each file is regarded as a track.

• A folder which has one or more files is regarded as a group.

• A folder which does not directly contain any tracks is ignored.

• Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into “group

1.”

• The player recognizes up to 150 tracks per group, and up to 99

groups per disc. If there are files other than MP3/WMA files, they also count in the 150-file total.

Max. 99 groups per disc

NOTE

When operating the player, set the mode selector to “DV D.”

The player can play back JPEG files on a home recorded CD-R/ RW disc. We refer to a disc that contains JPEG files as a “JPEG disc” in this manual. Note that if a disc contains both of MP3/WMA files and JPEG files, you can only play back files of the type selected by the [MP3&WMA/JPEG] setting in the [PICTURE] preference display. (see page 59).

About JPEG discs

On a JPEG disc, each picture is recorded as a file. Files are sometimes grouped into folders by category, etc.

• A folder which has one or more files is regarded as a group.

• A folder which does not directly contain any files is ignored.

• Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into “group

1.”

• The player recognizes up to 150 files per group, and up to 99

groups per disc. If there are files other than JPEG files, they also count against the 150-file total.

Max. 99 groups per disc

Appendix D: Glossary

525i/525p

Indicates the number of scanning lines and scanning format of an image signal. 525i indicates 525 scanning lines with interlace format, and 525p indicates 525 scanning lines with progressive format.

Aspect ratio

A ratio which defines the shape of the rectangular picture in a TV. It is the width of the picture relative to the height. A conventional TV picture is 4:3 in aspect ratio.

Bitstream

The digital form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1-channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.

Chapter/title

Chapter is the smallest division and title is the largest division on DVD VIDEO. A chapter is a division of a title and similar to a track for Video CD or Audio CD.

Component video

Video signals with three channels of separate information that makes up the picture. There are some types of component video, such as R/G/B and Y/C

Composite video

A single video signal commonly used in most consumer video products that contains all luminance, color, and synchronization information.

Dolby Digital (AC3)

A six-channel system consisting of left, center, right, left rear, right rear and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect channel, for use with a sub-woofer) channels. All processing is done in the digital domain. Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.

Dolby Surround/Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Surround records four channels of front and rear audio in two channels in a way that allows a decoder to recover the original four channels for playback. Because the audio is recorded in two channels, it can be played back naturally by a two-channel stereo system. Dolby Pro Logic introduces directional circuits in decoder-side processing (increasing the level of specific channels and lowering the level of silent channels) for greater spatial perspective, and adds a center speaker used primarily for dialog. The result is enhanced channel separation.

Down-mix

Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a DVD player. The down-mix signals are output from stereo output connectors.

DTS

A Digital Surround audio encoding format configured with six (5.1) channels, similar to Dolby Digital. It requires a decoder, either in the player or in an external receiver. DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems. Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.

Dynamic range

The difference between the loudest and softest sounds.

Interlaced scanning

In a conventional video system, a picture is shown on the display monitor in between lines of 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.

B(PB)/CR(PR).

JPEG

A popular file format for still image compression and storage. JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. There are three sub-types of the JPEG format as follows.

• baseline JPEG: used for digital cameras, the web, etc.

• progressive JPEG: used for the web

• lossless JPEG: an old type, rarely used now

Linear PCM audio

PCM stands for “pulse code modulation.” Linear PCM is the usual method for digitally encoding audio without compression, and is used for the audio tracks on DVD VIDEO discs, Audio CDs, etc.

MP3

MP3 is an audio data compression format, which stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Using MP3, you can achieve a data reduction of about 1:10.

MPEG

A family of Standards for compressing audio-visual information. “MPEG” standards include MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. Video CD and MP3 are based on MPEG-1, while DVD is based on MPEG-2. MPEG stands for Moving Picture coding Experts Group.

MPEG Multichannel

This feature expands the 5.1 channel audio format recorded on the disc to a 7.1 channel format. The further expansion of the 5.1 channel audio makes it easy for you to reproduce the movie theater experience in your own home.

NTSC (National television system committee)

A black and white and color television system format used in the U.S.A., Canada, Mexico and Japan.

PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)

A color television system format used extensively in Western Europe.

PBC

PBC stands for “Playback control” and is a method of controlling disc play for Video CDs (VCD). You are able to interact with the disc through menus.

Progressive scanning

Progressive scanning displays all the horizontal lines of a picture at one time, as a single frame. A progressive scanning DVD player converts the interlaced (525i) video from DVD into progressive (525p) format for connection to a progressive display. It dramatically increases the vertical resolution.

S-video

A video signal which improves picture quality over standard composite connections. Used on Super VHS, DVD, high end TV monitors, etc.

Tra ck

The smallest division on SVCD, Video CD and Audio CD discs.

WMA

WMA is an abbreviation of “Windows Media Audio,” and is an audio data compression format developed by Microsoft Corporation. Sound quality of data compressed using WMA is the same as that of MP3, though the WMA file size is smaller than that of MP3.
