Getting Started
Before Installation
General Precautions
• DO NOT insert any metal object into the center unit.
• DO NOT disassemble the center unit or remove screws, covers, or
cabinet.
• DO NOT expose the center unit to rain or moisture.
Locations
• Install the center unit in a location that is level and protected from
moisture.
• The temperature around the center unit must be between 5˚C and
35˚C.
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the center unit. Poor
ventilation could cause overheating and damage the center unit.
Handling the center unit
• 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/AM channels and sound
adjustments may be erased in a few days.
Putting Batteries in the Remote Control

except for subwoofer. Make sure not to connect the subwoofer
terminal and the satellite speaker.
1
Press and hold the terminal clamp.
2
Insert the speaker cord.
When setting the speakers
To obtain the best possible sound from this system, you need to
place all the speakers except the subwoofer at the same distance
from the listening position with each front faced toward the listener.
Since bass sound is non-directional, you can place a subwoofer
wherever you like. Normally place it in front of you.
If your speakers cannot be placed at the same distance from the
listening position
You can adjust the delay time of the center speaker and rear
speakers. For in-depth information about adjusting the delay time,
see “Adjusting the Sound” on page 17.
3
Release the finger from the clamp.
Notes:
• If the speaker cord is covered with vinyl, remove the vinyl
by twisting it as shown in the diagram.
• Make sure the core wire of speaker cords do not expose
to out of the terminals. This could cause
short-circuit.
Connecting speaker cords to the center unit
With the Side marked ª and
· upward.
Speaker Connector
Insert the speaker connectors to the speaker
terminals on the rear panel.
• Make sure to match the color of the connector and the terminal.
Notes:
You can change the phase of subwoofer sounds by connecting the
speaker cords to the terminals inversely—the cord with a gray tube to
the black terminal, and the cord with a black tube to the red terminal.
You may get more effective bass sounds by changing the phase.
CAUTIONS:
• When attaching the satellite speakers on the wall, have them
attached to the wall by a qualified person.
DO NOT attach the satellite speakers on the wall by yourself to
avoid an unexpected damage of their falling from the wall, caused
by incorrect attachment or weakness in the wall.
• Care is required in selecting a location for attaching 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.

* 480p and 480i indicate the number of scanning lines and scanning
format of a video signal.
• 480p indicates 480 scanning lines with progressive format.
• 480i indicates 480 scanning lines with interlaced format.
You can select the scanning mode if your TV equipped with
component video jacks supports the progressive video input.
Notes:
• Some progressive TVs and High-Definition TVs are not fully
compatible with this system, resulting in the unnatural picture when
playing back a DVD in the progressive scanning mode.
In such a case, change the scanning mode to “INTERLACE TV.”
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.
About scanning system
The conventional scanning method to display video signals on
the TV screen is called “Interlaced scanning.” With this method,
only half of the horizontal lines (called a “field”) 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
followed by the second field, containing all the even-numbered
lines.
On the other hand, the Progressive scanning 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 picture, a monitor (or TV or
projector) connected to the system must support the progressive
video 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-frame-per-second data,
while (NTSC) video sources are recorded as 30-frame-persecond (60-field-per-second interlaced).
When this system plays back a film source data, uninterlaced
progressive output signals are created using the original data.
When a video source is played back, the unit interleaves lines
between the interlaced lines to create the pseudo uninterlaced
picture and outputs as the progressive signals.
