Introduction

English

We would like to thank you for purchasing one of our JVC products.

Before operating this unit, read this manual carefully and thoroughly to obtain

the best possible performance from your unit, and retain this manual for

future reference.

About This Manual

This manual is organized as follows:

• This manual mainly explains playback and editing
operations using the remote control, and other
operations such as recording using the buttons on the
main unit.
You can use the buttons both on the remote control
and on the main unit for the same operations if they
have the same or similar names (or marks), unless
mentioned otherwise.

• Basic and common information that is the same for many
functions is grouped in one place, and is not repeated for
each procedure. For instance, we do not repeat the
information about turning on/off the unit, setting the
volume, changing the sound effects, and others, which
are explained in the section “Basic and Common
Operations” on pages 18 to 23.

• The following symbols are used in this manual:

Gives you warning and caution to prevent
damage or risk of fire/electric shock.
Furthermore, gives you information which
is not good for obtaining the best possible
performance from the unit.

Gives you information and hints you had
better know.

• Although the speakers are magnetically shielded, the TV
may be mottled. In this case, keep the distance from the
speakers to the TV until the speakers does not affect the
TV.

DO NOT install the unit in a location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust or vibration.

Power sources

• When unplugging the unit from the wall outlet, always
pull on the plug, not the AC power cord.

DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet
hands.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the unit in the
following cases:

• After starting to heat the room

• In a damp room

• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm place

Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this case,
leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture
evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in
again.

Others

• The electronic swing panel may malfunction when you
use this unit under intense light such as sunlight.

Precautions

Installation

• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot
nor too cold—between 5˚C and 35˚C.

• The unit is equipped with the cooling fan which makes
possible the high-powered operations with the limited
space. When the temperature inside the unit increases
due to operating the unit at high volume or consecutively,
the cooling fan activates to lower the temperature.
Install the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent internal heat buildup in the unit.

• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.

1

DO NOT expose this unit to intense light.

• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit,
unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before
operating any further.

• If you are not going to operate the unit for an extended
period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall
outlet.

DO NOT disassemble the unit since there are no
user serviceable parts inside.

If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and
consult your dealer.

• Continued use of irregular shape discs (heart-shape,

played back normally.

Note on Region Code

DVD players and DVDs have their own Region Code
numbers. This unit can play back only DVDs recorded with
the NTSC or PAL color system whose Region Code
numbers include “3.”

Ex.:

3

3

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

*2 Note on Video Format

• DVDs recorded with the PAL color system cannot be
converted into the NTSC color system.

• DVDs recorded with the NTSC color system can be
converted into the PAL color system.

• When playing back a SVCD or VCD, the unit can
convert both from PAL to NTSC and NTSC to PAL.

DIGITAL AUDIO

In addition to the above discs, this unit can play back audio
data recorded on CD Text, CD-G (CD Graphics), and
CD-Extra.

• The following discs cannot be played back:
DVD Audio, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW,
DVD-R, CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage
the speakers.

• On some DVD, SVCD, or VCD, the actual operations
may be different from what is explained in this manual,
due to the programming and disc structure; such
difference are not a malfunction of this unit.

Notes on CD-R and CD-RW

• User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs
(Rewritable) can be played back only if they have been
“finalized.”

• The unit can play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs if they have
been recorded in the audio CD format.
The unit can also play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs if MP3
files are recorded on them.
However, these discs may not play back because of their
disc characteristics, recording conditions, damage to the
disc.

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

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time, as the
reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.

About audio formats

Some audio formats used on discs are described below:

• Linear PCM

Uncompressed digital audio, the same format used on
CDs and most studio masters.
DVD supports 2-channels at sampling rates of 48/96 kHz
and quantization of 16/20/24 bits.
Audio CD/Video CD is limited to 2-channels at 44.1 kHz
at 16 bits.

• Dolby Digital

A surround audio format configured with up to six
channels. Because the “LFE (Low-Frequency Effect for
sub-woofer, etc.)” channel is an auxiliary channel, so this
format is called “5.1-channel system.”
Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channel
information.

• DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

A surround audio format configured with up to six (5.1)
channel which is the same as Dolby Digital. Because the
compression ratio is lower than for Dolby Digital, it
provides wider dynamic range and better separation.
Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channel information.

• MPEG Multichannel

A surround audio format which can handle the
augmentative 7.1-channel format (rare for home use), as
well as 5.1-channel.

Disc structure

A DVD consists of “titles,” and each title may be divided
into “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 chapters.

Example 1: DVD

On the other hand, a SVCD, VCD, 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 2: SVCD/VCD/Audio CD

IMPORTANT:

• This unit does not provide the DTS decoding
function.
The sound signals of DTS are only output through the
DVD OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT terminal and are not
output through the speakers of this unit.
To listen to the sound of DTS, connect a DTS decoder
or an amplifier compatible with DTS.

• To reproduce the multichannel sounds such as Dolby
Digital 5.1 ch, DTS Digital Surround and MPEG
Multichannel, connect an amplifier or a decoder
compatible with these multichannel sources to this
unit. (See page 11.)

• Playing back an Audio CD whose sound is encoded
with DTS may generate noise and damage the
speakers.
When playing such a disc, turn the volume level on
this unit to minimum.
