About discs

Playable disc types

This system has been designed to play back the following discs: DVD Video, Video CD, Super Video CD (SVCD), Audio CD, CD-R, and CD-RW.

• This system can also play back MP3 and JPEG files recorded on CD-Rs and CD-RWs. For in-depth information about MP3, see “MP3 disc playback” on page 51, and about JPEG, see “JPEG disc playback” on page 53.

• We refer to DVD Video as DVD in this manual.

Discs you can play:

Disc Type

Mark (Logo)

Video Format

Region Code

Number*

• 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.

–8 cm disc

An 8 cm disc cannot be played back in this system. (Do not attempt to insert an 8 cm disc using an adaptor. Doing so will damage the system.)

• On some DVD, Video CD, or SVCD 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 system.

• Notes 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 system can play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded on a personal computer if they have been recorded in the audio CD

format. The system can also play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs 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-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully. –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.

DVD Video CD SVCD Audio CD CD-R CD-RW

NTSC/PAL

ALL

* Note on Region Code

DVD players and DVDs have their own Region Code numbers. This system can play back only DVDs recorded with the color system of NTSC or PAL whose Region Code numbers include “4.”

Examples:

If a DVD with the improper Region Code numbers is loaded, “REGION CODE ERROR” appears on the display and playback cannot start.

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 DVD playback, you can change the initial setting to your preference. (See pages 55 to 65.)

appears on the TV screen when pressing a button, the disc cannot accept an operation you have tried to do, or

information required for that operation is not recorded on the disc. NOTICE: In some cases, without showing , operations will not be accepted.

About discs

Disc structure

A DVD Video 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 Video CD, SVCD, and Audio 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.)

Example 1: DVD

Example 2 : Video CD/SVCD/Audio CD

Playback Control function (PBC)

The Playback Control function allows you to enjoy menu-driven operation and high-resolution still images which have a resolution four times greater than moving pictures.

• High-resolution still image display

You can display high-quality images four times clearer than moving pictures.

• Menu-driven playback

A selection menu is displayed when you start playing a Video CD and SVCD disc 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 example illustration below about basic feature of menu-driven playback (for details about the operation through the menu, see also page 39).

NOTE:

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

Installing the equipment on the wall

When attaching the rear speakers to a wall

Using the supplied speaker wall brackets, you can fix the rear speakers to the wall.

CAUTION: Attaching the brackets to the wall

When attaching the brackets to the wall, have them attached to the wall by a qualified person. DO NOT attach the brackets to the wall by yourself to avoid an unexpected damage due to their falling from the wall, caused by incorrect attachment or weakness in the wall.

Location of attachment to wall:

Take care when selecting a location for attaching rear speakers to the wall. Injury to personnel, or damage to equipment, may result if the speakers are attached in a location which interferes with daily activities.

Attaching speakers to the brackets

1 Use the supplied screws to attach the brackets to the rear speakers.

2 Adjust the angle of the rear speakers.

Loosen the screw slightly, make an adjustment, and then tighten the screw firmly.

CAUTION:

If the screws are not tightened firmly, this may cause injury to personnel or damage to equipment.

When attaching the AM loop antenna to a wall

You can attach the AM loop antenna to the wall.

Mount the AM loop antenna to a wall using the screw (not supplied) as illustrated below.

Getting started

When attaching the center unit to a wall

You can attach the center unit to a wall.

CAUTIONS: location of attachment to a wall

• Take care when selecting a location for attaching the center unit to the wall. Injury to personnel, or damage to the center unit, may result if the center unit is attached in a location which interferes with daily activities, or a location that the users are liable to knock their bodies or heads against the center unit.

• Avoid a location above a bed, sofa, water tank, sink, etc. or in a passage.

CAUTIONS: attachment to a wall

• The center unit weighs approximately 2.93 kg. When you operate the buttons on the center unit, an additional force will be applied to the center unit in downward direction. Therefore, sufficient care must be required when attaching the center unit to a wall to prevent any accidents caused by the unit’s falling off.

• Before attaching the center unit to a wall, check the wall (or other related aspects) you want to attach it to, and verify whether the strength of the wall will be sufficient not only to support the weight of the center unit itself but also to withstand the additional downward force which will be applied to it during operations. (Do not attach the center unit to a plywood or plasterboard wall. The center unit will fall and sustain damage as a result.) If you cannot judge the strength of the wall or other aspects, consult a qualified person (such as a qualified constructor).

• The screws needed for attachment are not supplied. Use screws which are compatible with the strength and material of the pillar or wall.

• When attaching the center unit, the screws must be secured tightly in all three locations. Failure in attaching the center unit to the wall using all three holes on the back of the center unit makes for an unstable attachment, and it constitutes a safety hazard as the center unit may fall down.

Example of attachment

The procedure below is an example of how to attach the center unit to a wall: It does not make any guarantee for safety while using the center unit on the wall. Take into account such factors as the material, strength, and the status of the wall as well as the reinforcing material, and the possible changes that will take place over time.

NOTES:

• You need to connect the cords to the center unit (and attach the supplied stand) before attaching it to the wall.

• DO NOT plug the power cord into an AC outlet before attaching the center unit to the wall.

• When attaching the supplied stand to the center unit, connect the video cords, system cord, and so on by passing them through the holes at the bottom of the stand, and do not attach the legs to the stand. See page 9.

1 Select the place where the center unit is to be attached. 2 Mount three screws (not supplied) to the wall.

Use the screws as illustrated below. You can use the supplied paper pattern to mark the positions where the screws are mounted.

Keep the space of 6 to 7 mm.

Wall

6 to 9 mm

Within 3 mm

20 to 30 mm

Screws (not supplied)

3 Hook the center unit onto the mounted screws, and slide it to left, then down.

Make sure that the center unit is attached securely.

• Adjust the screws if the center unit is not attached securely.

Slide to left, then down.

NOTES:

• Do not place anything on top of the center unit. Doing so may cause the center unit to fall down, and cause injury to the persons arround.

• Do not climb onto the center unit or hang from it. Doing so may damage the center unit and/or cause injury to the person. Take care specially when there are small children at the home.

• Avoid sandwiching the cords between the unit and wall. This may upset the balance of the center unit, and cause the center unit to fall down.

• Make sure that the connected cords will not interfere with daily activities and that the users will not be caught in the cords.

• Do not pull the connected cords with excessive force.

• Check regularly that none of the screws are loose.

• In the event that the center unit has fallen, turn the power off, disconnect the power plug from the AC outlet, and contact your dealer for an inspection and repairs. Using it in this state may cause a fire or electrical shock.

• Do not place valuables (breakables) underneath the location where the center unit is attached. They will be damaged if the center unit should fall.

• The manufacturer accepts absolutely no liability for any accidents or damage resulting from inadequate assembly or mounting, insufficient strength of attachment, misuse or abuse, or natural disasters.

• When “PA L” is selected on the VIDEO OUT SELECT switch (see page 10), the scan mode is fixed to “INTERLACE.” So the scan mode cannot be changed.

• There are some progressive TVs and High-Definition TVs that are not fully compatible with this system, resulting in the unnatural picture when playing back a DVD in the progressive scan mode. In such a case, change the scan mode to “INTERLACE.” To check the compatibility of your TV, contact your local JVC customer service center.

• All JVC progressive TVs and High-Definition TVs are fully compatible with this system.

* 525p and 525i indicate the number of scanning lines and scanning format of an image signal.

• 525p indicates 525 scanning lines with progressive format.

• 525i indicates 525 scanning lines with interlaced format.

About scan system

To display video on the TV screen, the conventional scanning method is called “Interlaced scan.” With this method, only half of the horizontal lines are displayed at a time. So two fields complete a single picture (frame); i.e., the first field, containing all the odd-numbered lines, is displayed followed by the second field, containing all the even-numbered lines. On the other hand, the Progressive scan system scans all horizontal lines at a time, so you can double the number of scanning lines displayed at a time, resulting in a flicker-free, high-density picture. To enjoy the progressive scanned video, a monitor (or TV or projector) to be connected to the unit must have the Progressive inputs. Depending on the material source format, DVD VIDEO can be classified into two types; film source and video source (note that some DVD VIDEO contain both film source and video source). Film sources are recorded as 24-frameper-second information, while (NTSC) video sources are recorded as 30-frame-per-second (60-field-per-second interlaced) information. When this system 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 unit interleaves lines between the interlaced lines on each to create the pseudo uninterlaced picture and outputs as the progressive signal.

Dolby Pro Logic II*

Dolby Pro Logic II has newly developed multichannel 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 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

. You can enjoy soundfield 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 indicator lights up on the display window.

PRO LOGIC II

Dolby Digital*

Used to reproduce multichannel soundtracks of the software encoded with Dolby Digital (

). Dolby Digital 5.1 ch (DOLBY D) 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.

NOTE:

Dolby Digital 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 ch software, you can use Dolby Pro Logic II.

7 DTS Digital Surround**

Used to reproduce multichannel soundtracks of the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround (

DTS Digital Surround (DTS SURR) 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.

7 All Channel Stereo

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.

The following DAP modes are provided with this system.

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, 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 window.

All Channel Stereo (ALL CH ST.) mode can reproduce a larger stereo sound field using all the connected (and activated) speakers.

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

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

To operate this system, set it to “AUDIO/TV/VCR.”

7 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 CDRW can contain 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can.

7 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.

Up to 99 groups

Up to 150 tracks

Basic operations

Insert an MP3 disc.

Playback starts. The MP3 control display appears on the TV. (See page 52.) When all tracks in a group have been played, the system plays tracks in the next group. You can perform the following operations.

This system simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc and manages files and folders by “tracks” and “groups.” This system can recognize up to 150 tracks per group, and up to 99 groups per disc (up to 14,850 tracks). The system ignores those exceeding the maximum numbers and cannot play them.

• If there is any type of files other than MP3 files in a folder, those files are also counted in the total number of 150.

7 NOTES for MP3 disc

• MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout time. (It differs due to the complexity of the directory/file configuration.)

• When making an MP3 disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 as the disc format.

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

• This system can not play “packet write” discs.

• The system 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).

• We recommended to record each song (material) at a samplerate of 44.1 kHz and at a data transfer rate of 128 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 58.)

• Some MP3 discs may not be played back because of their disc characteristics or recording conditions.

7 What is JPEG?

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

7 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 system simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc and manages folders by “groups.” This system can recognize up to 150 files per group, and up to 99 groups per disc (up to 14,850 files). The system ignores those exceeding the maximum numbers and cannot play them.

• If there is any type of files other than JPEG files in a folder, those files are also counted in the total number of 150.

7 NOTES for JPEG disc

• JPEG discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout time. (It differs due to the complexity of the directory/file configuration.)

• When making a JPEG disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 as the disc format.

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

• This system cannot play “packet write” discs.

• The system can play JPEG files only with the following file extensions: “.jpg,” “.jpeg,” “.JPG,” “.JPEG” and any uppercase and lowercase combination (such as “.Jpg”).

• We recommend 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 58.)

• This system can play only baseline JPEG files*. Progressive JPEG files* or lossless JPEG files* cannot be played.

• Some JPEG discs may not be played back because of their disc characteristics or recording conditions.

* • 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

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-screens is 16:9.

Chapter

Refers to individual chapters included in a title.

Composite video signal

Refers to 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, multiangles, etc. recorded on a DVD.

Interlaced scan

In the conventional video system, a picture is shown on the display monitor in two halves. The Interlaced scan 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 small decrease 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 the center of 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 resulted from the screen form looking literally like a letter box.

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 multiangle function.

Multichannel

DVD is specified to have each sound track 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 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 video CDs or SVCDs for controlling reproduction. By using menu screens recorded on a Video CD or SVCD that supports PBC, you can enjoy interactive-type software as well as software having a search function.

Progressive scan

Progressive scan displays all the horizontal lines of a picture at one time, as a single frame. This system can convert the interlaced video from DVD into progressive format for connection to a progressive display. 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, each region being identified by a specified region code (or region number). If the region code given to a disc includes a numeral which matches one in the region code 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.
