Precautions

Installation

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

• Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat buildup in the System.

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

• Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.

• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference with TV.

Power sources

• When unplugging the System 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 System in the following cases:

• After starting to heat the room

• In a damp room

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

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

Internal heat

•

A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel to prevent heat buildup inside the unit.

For safety, observe the following carefully:

• Make sure there is good ventilation around the unit. Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the unit.

• DO NOT block the cooling fan and the ventilation openings or holes. If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.

Others

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

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

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

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

How to Read This Manual

To make the explanations in this manual as simple and easyto-understand as possible, we have adapted the following methods:

•

Step 2: Prepare the remote control.

Getting Started

Step 1: Unpack

After unpacking, check to be sure that you have all the following items. The number in parentheses indicates the quantity of each piece supplied.

• FM antenna (1)

• AM loop antenna (1)

• Remote control (1)

• Composite video cord (1)

• Batteries (2)

• AC plug adaptor (1) If any item is missing, consult your dealer immediately.

Step 2: Prepare the Remote Control

Insert the batteries into the remote control by matching the polarity (+ and –) correctly.

Step 3: Hook up the components such

as AM/FM antennas, speakers, etc. (see pages 4 to 7).

Finally plug the AC power cord.

Now you can operate the System.

• DO NOT use an old battery together with a new one.

• DO NOT use different types of batteries together.

• DO NOT expose batteries to heat or flame.

• DO NOT leave the batteries in the battery compartment when you are not going to use the remote control for an extended period of time. Otherwise, the remote control will be damaged from battery leakage.

• If the AM loop antenna wire or speaker cords are covered with vinyl, remove the vinyl to expose the tip of the antenna by twisting the vinyl.

• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals, connecting cords and power cord. Also, keep the antennas away from metallic parts of the System, connecting cords, and the AC power cord. This could cause poor reception.

3 Release

When connecting the speaker cords, match the polarity of the speaker terminals:

• For LOW terminals: Red cord to (+) and black cord to (–).

• For HIGH terminals: Grey cord to (+) and blue cord to (–)

The speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly, it may cause color distortions. So, pay attention to the following when installing the speakers. – When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off the

TV’s main power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers. Then wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s

main power switch again. Some TVs may still be affected even though you have followed the above. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV.

• DO NOT connect more than one speaker to each terminal.

• DO NOT allow the conductor of the speaker cords to be in touch with the metallic parts of the System.

To connect the AV COMPU LINK cords

This system allows you to use JVC’s TV with simple operations; by starting playing back a disc, the TV automatically turns on and changes the input mode to the appropriate position so that you can view the playback picture. To use AV COMPU LINK, you need to connect the System and the TV by using a cord with monaural mini-plugs (not supplied) in addition to the video input/output connection through the COMPONENT jacks, S-VIDEO jack or VIDEO (composite) jack on the rear.

Adjusting the Voltage Selector

Use a screwdriver to slide the voltage selector so that the voltage marker is pointing at the same voltage as where you are plugging in the unit. (See also the back cover page.)

DVD Video—digital audio formats

The System can play back the following digital audio formats.

•

Linear PCM:

format used for CDs and most studio masters.

•

Dolby Digital:

Dolby Laboratories, which enables multi-channel encode to create the realistic surround sound.

•

DTS (Digital Theater Systems):

audio, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., which enables multi-channel like Dolby Digital. As the compression ratio is lower than for Dolby Digital, it provides wider dynamic range and better separation.

When playing a multi-channel encoded DVD, the System properly converts these multi-channel signals into 2 channels, and emits the downmixed sound from the speakers.

•

To enjoy the powerful sound of these multi-channel encoded DVDs,

with a proper built-in decoder to the digital output terminal on the rear.

IMPORTANT: Before playing a disc, make sure of the following...

• Turn on the TV and select an appropriate input mode on the TV to view the pictures or on-screen displays on the TV screen.

• For disc playback, you can change the initial setting to your preference. See “Setup Menu Operations” on page 37.

Note on Region Code

DVD players and DVDs have their own Region Code numbers. This System can play back only DVDs recorded with the NTSC color system whose Region Code numbers including “1.” EX.:

If a DVD with the improper Region Code numbers is loaded, “RGN ERR (REGION CODE ERROR)” appears on the display and playback will not start.
