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 (41˚F and 95˚F).

• 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

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 center unit.

1

. On the back of the remote control, remove the

battery cover.

2

. Insert batteries. Make sure to match the polarity:

(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

3

. Replace the cover.

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)

• Video cord (1)

If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.

If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace the batteries. Use two UM-4“AAA”/IEC “R03” 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.

Connecting speaker cords to the terminals

1

Press and hold the terminal clamp.

2

Insert the speaker cord.

3

Release the finger from the clamp.

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 “Setting the Delay Time” on page 18 and 19.

Note:

You can change the phase of subwoofer sounds by connecting the speaker cords to the terminals inversely—the red cord to the black terminal, and the black cord to the red terminal. You may get the more effective bass sounds by changing the phase.

Notes:

• If the speaker cord is covered with vinyl, remove the

to out of the terminals.This could cause short-circuit.

CAUTION:

• 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.

TUNER PRESET

This system supports the progressive scanning system (480p*) as well as the conventional interlaced scanning system (480i*). If your TV equipped with component video jacks supports the progressive video input, you can enjoy a high quality picture by activating the progressive scanning mode.

• Refer also to the instruction manuals supplied with your TV.

• If your TV equipped with component video jacks does not support

the progressive video input, do not change the scanning mode to the progressive scanning mode (P–SCAN MODE.)

* 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.

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-per-second (60-field-persecond 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.

Changing the Scan Mode

You can select the scanning mode if your TV equipped with component video jacks supports the progressive video input.

From the remote control ONLY:

1

Press DVD.

You can change the scan mode only when DVD is selected as the source and playback stops. If a disc is no loaded, go to step 3.

2

Press 7.

Playback stops.

3

Press and hold PROGRESSIVE for a while.

• Each time you press and hold the button, the scan mode alternates between “I–SCAN MODE” and “P–SCAN MODE”.

I (Interlace)–SCAN MODE

: Select this if your TV equipped with component video jacks does

not support the progressive video input (conventional TV).

P (Progressive)–SCAN MODE

: Select this 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 “I–SCAN MODE” 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.

To select an appropriate progressive mode for playback pictures, see “Selecting an Appropriate Progressive Mode” on page 17.

Creating Realistic Sound Fields

DOLBY SURROUND

You can use the following surround to reproduce a realistic sound field.

• Digital Multichannel Surround—Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround

• Dolby Surround

• DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes

■ Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround

To enjoy surround effectively, all the speakers need to be connected and activated.

Dolby Digital*

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

Dolby Digital encoding method (so-called discrete 5.1 channel 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 (total 6 channels, but LFE channel is counted as 0.1 channel. Therefore, called 5.1 channel). 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. In addition, Dolby Digital enables stereo rear sounds, and sets the cutoff frequency of the rear treble at 20 kHz, compared to 7 kHz for Dolby Pro Logic. These facts enhance the sound movement and being-there feelings much more than Dolby Pro Logic.

).

Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby 3 Stereo

Dolby Surround encoding format records the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, and rear channel signals (total 4 channels) into 2 channels. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built in this system decodes these 2 channel signals into original 4 channel signals—matrix-based multichannel reproduction, and allows you to enjoy a realistic stereo sound in your listening room.

When one of Dolby Surround is selected, the PRO LOGIC indicator lights up on the display.

Indications on the display for each surround

• Dolby Digital

• DTS Digital Surround

• Dolby Pro Logic

When the system detects Dolby Digital signals, the DOLBY DIGITAL indicator lights up on the display.

DTS Digital Surround**

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

DTS Digital Surround is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software. Compared to Dolby Digital, audio compression rate 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.

When the system detects DTS Digital Surround signals, the DTS indicator lights up on the display.

).

■ Dolby Surround*

Used to reproduce sound tracks of the VCR tapes encoded with Dolby Surround ( This is only used for the sound sources coming through the AUX IN jacks.

).

• Dolby 3 Stereo

• DSP*

* When you select FM/AM or AUX as the source, the Linear

PCM indicator (

— According to the speaker settings, some speaker indicators do

not light up. In this case, set the speaker setting appropriately (see page 18.)

) does not light up.

TEST

Creating Realistic Sound Fields

■ DSP (Digital Signal Processor) Modes

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

The sound heard in a hall, a theater, a pavilion, a dance club, or a live club 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. These indirect sounds are important elements of the acoustic surround effects.

The following DSP modes are provided with this unit.

THEATER : Gives the feeling of a theater.

HALL : Gives clear vocal and the feeling of a concert

hall.

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

ceiling.

DANCE CLUB : Gives a throbbing bass beat.

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

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

To check the speaker connections and settings using the test tone

1. Select and play a DVD encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS Digital Surround.

2. Press TEST on the remote control. The test tone comes out from the speakers (except the subwoofer) in the order.

• If there is a speaker from which no sounds comes out, check

the speaker’s connection (see pages 7 and 8).

3. Press TEST again to stop the test tone.

IMPORTANT:

Before performing any operations, make sure of the following....

• Check the connection with the TV.

• Turn on the TV and select the correct input on the TV to view the

pictures or on-screen indications on the TV screen.

• For DVD playback, you can change the Setup menu setting to your preference. (See pages 49 to 53.)

If “ ” 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 in the disc.

NOTICE : In some cases, without showing “

will not be accepted.

Disc structure—DVD, Video CD (VCD/SVCD) and Audio CD (CD)

A DVD 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 VCD/SVCD or CD consists of Tracks. (See Example 2.) In general, each song has its own track number. (On some discs, each track may also be divided by Indexes.) When playing back a VCD/SVCD with Playback Control (PBC) function, you can select what to view using the menu shown on the TV screen. (While operating a Video CD using the menu, some of the functions such as Repeat and Track Search may not work.)

,” operations

CD-RW

• On some DVD or VCD/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.

• The following discs cannot be played back: – DVD-Audio, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-R,

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

* Note on Video Format

This unit accommodates the color system of NTSC. Note that the unit cannot playback the disc recorded with the color system of PAL.

If a DVD recorded with the color system of PAL is loaded, “WRONG DISC” appears on the display and playback cannot start.

** Note on Region Code

DVD players and DVD Video discs have their own Region Code numbers. This system only can play back DVD discs whose Region Code numbers include “1.”

Examples:

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

Example 1: DVD disc

Example 2 : Video CD/Audio CD

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 or recorded in MP3 format (see page 43). However, they may not be played back depending on their characteristics or recording conditions.

• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if the built-in lens is dirty.

• 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.

This system is incorporated with an MP3 decoder. You can play back MP3 tracks (files) recorded on CD-Rs, and CD-RWs.

• Notice that “files” and “tracks” are used interchangeably.

What is MP3?

MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group (or MPEG) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a data compression ratio of 1:10 (128 Kbps*). That means, by using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can. * Bit rate is the average number of bits that one second of audio data

will consume. The measuring unit used is Kbps (1000 bits per second). To get a better audio quality, choose a higher bit rate. The most popular bit rate for encoding (recording) is 128 Kbps.

MP3 File Compatibility

• This system can only read MP3 files that are recorded in the format that is compliant with ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2.

• The system can read or play MP3 files only with the extension code—“.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).

Disc structure—How are MP3 files recorded and played back?

“MP3 files (tracks)” can be recorded in “directories (or folders),” in PC terminology. During recording, the files and directories can be arranged in a way similar to arranging files and folder/directories of computer data. “Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every file and directory can be linked to the root. In compliance with ISO 9660, the maximum allowable depth of nested directories—so-called “hierarchy”—is eight (inclusive of the root). Playback order, files search order, and directory search order of the MP3 files recorded on a disc are determined by the writing (or encoding) application; therefore, playback order may be different from the one you have intended while recording the folders/ directories and the files.

Note on MP3 discs

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

For in-depth information about a disc to be played back, see “Disc Introduction—DVD/VCD/CD” on page 27.
