• Playing back discs listed as “Non-playable discs” above may generate noise and damage speakers.

• This unit can play back audio recorded in CD-G, CD-EXTRA and CD-TEXT discs.

Disc structure

A DVD VIDEO disc is comprised of “titles,” while an Audio CD, Video CD is comprised of “tracks.” Each title may be divided into some “chapters.” For example, if a DVD VIDEO disc contains some movies, each movie may have its own title number, and each movie may be divided into some chapters. In a DVD VIDEO karaoke disc, each song usually has its own title number and does not have chapters. In general, each title has independent content, while each chapter in the same title has continuity.

(Example: DVD VIDEO disc)

Title 1 Title 2

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Chapter 2

(Example: Audio CD/Video CD)

Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4

To connect to audio equipment with a digital input

You can enhance the sound quality by connecting the unit’s DIGITAL OUT to the digital input of an amplifier, DAT or MD by using an optional digital cable. The digital audio signal from a disc is directly transferred. If you connect the unit to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder or an amplifier with a built-in decoder by using an optional digital cable, you can enjoy high-quality surround sound. When you make the digital connection, also make the analog connection, because, depending on the disc type, no audio may be reproduced from the DIGITAL OUT.

When using the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack, remove the protection cap. Do not lose the removed cap. When the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack is not used, fix the protection cap into the jack.

Additional information

AV COMPU LINK remote control system

When you buy a separate TV, VCR, DVD player, receiver, or other component and connect them to each other, you have to operate each component individually. JVC’s AV COMPU LINK remote control system meets the demands of a system made up of single components and has the ease of operation of a single unit.

Connection and setup

Using the AV COMPU LINK cable, connect the AV COMPU LINK terminals of each component to one another.

To AV COMPU LINK (II or EX)

DVD player

• If you connect a DVD player to a television via AV COMPU LINK, set the DVD player’s AV COMPU LINK setting as follows.

• When connecting to VIDEO-1 input terminal of the television: DVD2

• When connecting to VIDEO-2 input terminal of the television: DVD3

To AV COMPU LINK (II or EX)

To AV COMPU LINK

DVD player

• If you connect a DVD player to a television and VCR via AV COMPU LINK, set the VCR’s Remote Control Code and DVD player’s AV COMPU LINK setting as follows.

• When connecting to VIDEO-1 input terminal of the television: DVD player’s AV COMPU LINK setting: DVD2 VCR’s Remote Control Code: B

• When connecting to VIDEO-2 input terminal of the television: DVD player’s AV COMPU LINK setting: DVD3 VCR’s Remote Control Code: A

To AV COMPU LINK (II or EX)

Additional

information

Receiver

• If you connect a DVD player to a television and receiver via AV COMPU LINK, set the DVD player’s AV COMPU LINK setting to DVD1.

VCR (Video Cassette Recorder)

DVD player

• The DVD player’s AV COMPU LINK setting is operated in the SYSTEM page of the preference display. See page 38 for operation.

• For information on the connection between the TV and the Receiver, refer to the Receiver’s Instructions.

IMPORTANT!

If you connect the component video output to your TV:

• set the DVD player’s AV COMPULINK setting to DVD1.

• make the video/audio connection between the DVD player and your receiver using the supplied audio/video cable, and do not make the S-VIDEO connection.

Additional information

Notes for connection

• If you connect a DVD player to a receiver via AV COMPU LINK in a system including a Dolby digital decoder, some

functions may not be performed automatically.

• The AV COMPU LINK terminal on some televisions indicates “II.” Do not connect the terminal indicating “II”

with the AV COMPU LINK terminal on a receiver. If connected, the system will not work correctly.

• Connect the AUDIO OUT jacks of the DVD player to the audio input jacks of a receiver that indicating “DVD.”

Otherwise, the system will not work correctly.

• There may be no description about connections to a DVD player in the instruction manual of a television or VCR.

However a television or VCR with AV COMPU LINK terminals indicating “II” or “EX” can be connected to a DVD player.

Operation

You can enjoy pictures and/or sound by just putting a source component (which plays back the pictures and/or sound such as a DVD player or VCR) into play mode. You do not have to operate the TV and receiver including not having to perform power switching.

Turn on the main power of the television.

Insert a disc into the source component.

Press PLAY of the source component.

The following actions are performed automatically:

• Turning on the power for the television.

• Setting the source of the television to the external input (VIDEO-1 or VIDEO-2).

• Turning on the power for the receiver.

• Setting the source of the receiver to the component which has started playback.

Care and handling of discs

How to handle discs

When handling a disc, do not touch the surface of the disc. Since discs are made of plastic, they are easily damaged. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the images and sound will not be picked up correctly, and such a disc may cause the player to malfunction.

Label side

Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive on its surface.

Storage

Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on top of one another without their protective cases, they can be damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!

Additional

information

Maintenance of discs

If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving from the center outwards. If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water. Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-static agents.

CAUTION

Sometimes during play noise or images may be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to industry standards.) These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of the unit.
