CAUTION concerning the Power Cord

Most appliances recommend they be placed upon
a dedicated circuit;

That is, a single outlet circuit which powers only that
appliance and has no additional outlets or branch
circuits. Check the specification page of this owner's
manual to be certain.

Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets,
loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed
power cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation
are dangerous. Any of these conditions could result in
electric shock or fire. Periodically examine the cord of
your appliance, and if its appearance indicates
damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of
the appliance, and have the cord replaced with an
exact replacement part by an authorized servicer.

Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical
abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed
in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to
plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord

exits the appliance.

To disconnect power from the mains, pull out the
mains cord plug. When installing the product, ensure
that the plug is easily accessible.

Safety Precautions

Some Do’s and Don’ts on the
Safe Use of Equipment

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to
meet international safety standards but, like any
electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to
obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.

DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use

the equipment.

DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains

plug, extension leads and interconnections
betweenpieces of equipment) are properly made and in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch
off and withdraw the mains plug when making or
changing connections.

DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the

installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any

doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in
any way-switch off, withdraw the mains plug and
consult your dealer.

DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose

dangerous voltages.

DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended

unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for
unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch
off using the switch on the equipment and make sure
that your family knows how to do this. Special
arrangements may need to be made for infirm or
handicapped people.

DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so

that you are distracted from the requirements of road
safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.

DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use

can permanently damage your hearing.

DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example

with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheating will
cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.

DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood

screws-to ensure complete safety always fit the
manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the
fixings provided according to the instructions.

DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or

moisture.

ABOVE ALL...

- NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into

holes, slots or any other opening in the case-this could
result in a fatal electrical shock;

- NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of

any kind-it is better to be safe than sorry!

IMPORTANT:
Connection to the mains supply in the United
Kingdom.

DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this
equipment.

If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in
your home or the cable is too short to reach a power
point, then obtain a proper safety approved extension
lead/adapter or consult your dealer.

In the unlikely event of the plug fuse failing be sure
to replace the fuse only with an identical approved
type, as originally fitted, and to replace the fuse
cover. If the fuse fails again consult your nearest
JVC dealer.

If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off remove the fuse
and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a
possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the
mains supply.
If this product is not supplied fitted with a mains plug
then follow the instructions given below:
DO NOT make any connection to the Larger Terminal
coded E or Green.

Blue to N (Neutral) or Black

Brown to L (Live) or Red

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
If these colours do not correspond with the terminal
identifications of your plug, connect as follows:
Blue wire to terminal coded N (Neutral) or coloured
Black.
Brown wire to terminal coded L (Live) or coloured Red.

If in doubt - consult a competent electrician.

About HDMI

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports
both video and audio on a single digital connection for an
easy all- digital output to an HDMI or DI-equipped TV.

Connection to an HDMI TV requires an HDMI cable
while connection to a DVI-equipped TV requires a DVI
adapter besides a HDMI cable.

HDMI has the capability to support standard,
enhanced, or high-definition video plus standard to
multi-channel surround-sound audio, HDMI features
include uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of up
to 5 gigabytes per second, one connector (instead of
several cables and connector), and communication
between the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.

HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia
Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of
HDMI licensing LLC.

If you have a HDMI TV or monitor, you can connect
it to this DVD/CD Receiver using a HDMI cable.

1. Connect the HDMI OUT jack on the DVD/CD
Receiver to the HDMI jack on a HDMI compatible
TV or monitor (H).

2. Set the TV’s source to HDMI (refer to owner’s
manual for TV).

Notes:

• The arrow on the cable connector body should face

down for correct alignment with the connector on
the DVD/CD Receiver.

on the screen, please check
the HDMI cable.

• Not all HDCP-compatible

DVI devices will work with
this DVD/CD Receiver.

• If TV does not support HDCP, snow noise appears

RDS Operation

This unit is equipped with RDS (Radio Data System),
which brings a wide range of information to FM radio.
RDS, now being used in many countries, is a system
for transmitting station call signs or network
information, a description of station programme type
text message about the station or specifics of musical
selection and the correct time.

RDS TUNING

When a FM station is tuned in and it contains RDS
data, the unit will automatically display the station’s
call sign and the RDS indicator will light in the Display
Window as well as indicators for the RDS services
programme (PS), programme type recognition (PTY),
Radio text (RT) and Clock Time (CT) if transmitted by
the station.

RDS DISPLAY OPTIONS

The RDS system is capable of transmitting a wide
variety of information in addition to the initial call sign
that appears when a station is first tuned. In normal
RDS operation the display will indicate the station
name, broadcast network or call letters. Pressing RDS
DISPLAY on the remote control enables you to cycle
through the various data types in the sequence:

(PS ↔↔FREQUENCY↔↔PTY↔↔RT ↔↔CT)



PS (Programme Service name)- The name of the
channel is shown in the Display Window.



PTY (Programme type recognition)- The name of
the programme type is shown in the Display
Window.



RT (Radiotext)- A “text” message contains special
information from the broadcast station. Note that
this message may scroll across the display to
permit message.



CT (Time controlled by the channel)- Enables
the unit to receive the actual time and show it in
the Display Window.

Note:

Some RDS stations may not choose to include some
of these additional features. If the data required for
the selected mode is not being transmitted, the
Display Window will show a PTY NONE, RT NONE,

CT NONE, or PS NONE message.

Programme Search (PTY)

A major benefit of RDS is its ability to encode
broadcasts with Programme Type (PTY) codes that
indicate the type of material being broadcast. The
following list shows the abbreviations used to
indicate each PTY along with an explanation of the
PTY.

surround audio signals is played according to the
way it was recorded.

[PL II MOVIE] mode: The Movie mode is for use
with stereo television shows and all programs
encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced
soundfield directionality that approaches the quality
of discrete 5.1-channel sound.

[PL II MUSIC] mode: The Music mode is for use
with any stereo music recordings.

[PL II MATRIX] mode: The Matrix mode is the same
as the Music mode except that the directional
enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used to
enhance mono signals by making them seem
“larger.” The Matrix mode may also find use in auto
systems, where the fluctuations from poor FM
stereo reception can otherwise cause disturbing
surround signals from a logic decoder. The ultimate
“cure” for poor FM stereo reception may be simply
to force the audio to mono.

Notes:

In some of surround modes, some speakers maybe

•
no sound or low sound, it depends on the mode of
surround and the source of audio, it is not defective.

•You may need resetting the surround mode, after
switch the input, sometimes even after the sound
track changed.
