PEM (Pulse Edge Modulation) circuit achieve more than double the resolution of
conventional converters.
• By separating and isolating the power supplies for the analog and digital circuitry,
the interference which causes digital noise to enter the analog system is eliminated.
• Separation of the circuits, PLL clock generators and power supplies for the audio
unit and video unit improve sound quality.
Support for various DVD functions
Note: Each function below is available only if the DVD disc to be played back
supports it.
• Multi-language function

Before Using for the First Time
Before making any
connections
Connections
• Since different components often have different terminal names, carefully read
the instruction manual supplied with the component you wish to connect.
• Do not connect the AC power cord until all other connections have been made.
7 Connecting with a TV
You can enjoy the XV-D2000BK by simply connecting it with a television set. To hear
audio sound with better quality, connect the audio outputs with your audio
equipment. (See the following pages.)
Note: Be sure not to plug in the power cord until all other connections have been
made.
The XV-D2000BK can be connected directly to a television set equipped with stereo
audio input and video input jacks using the supplied audio/video cables.
If your television set has a monaural audio input instead of stereo, you need to use an
optional audio cable which converts stereo audio output to monaural.
If your television set has an S-video input, we recommend you to connect it with SVIDEO of the player using the supplied S-video cable, in addition to the (standard)
video connection, to get a better picture quality.
Connect VIDEO OUT of the player with the video input of a television set. Connecting
VIDEO OUT of the player to a TV via a VCR may cause a monitor problem when
playing back a copy-protected disc.
The ATTENUATOR switch beside the 2CH audio outputs should be normally set to
OFF. If you hear the audio distorted because the sensitivity of the TV’s audio input is
too high, set the ATTENUATOR to ON.

7 Connecting with an audio amplifier or receiver
You can enjoy high-quality audio by connecting the player's audio outputs (2CH)
to your amplifier or receiver.
Note: Be sure not to plug in the power cord until all other connections have been
made.
Connect the player's AUDIO OUT (2CH) to any line-level inputs (such as AUX,
DVD, CD, etc.) of an audio amplifier or receiver.
The ATTENUATOR switch beside the 2CH audio outputs should be normally set
to OFF. If you hear the audio distorted because the sensitivity of the amplifier’s
line input is too high, set the ATTENUATOR to ON.
If the “DOWN MIX” item in the DVD on-screen display is set to “OFF”, you may
not be able to get the proper audio signal from the player’s 2CH outputs when
playing back a DVD disc with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel audio.

7 Connecting with an amplifier equipped with Dolby Digital
5.1-channel inputs
Connect the player’s 5.1-channel outputs (FRONT-RIGHT/LEFT, REAR-RIGHT/LEFT,
CENTER, and SUBWOOFER) to the Dolby Digital 5.1-channel inputs of an amplifier
using audio cables. Be sure to connect correctly between corresponding terminals.
Notes: • When using 5.1-channel outputs, you have to set some preferences (CEN-
TER SPEAKER, SURROUND SPEAKERS and BASS REDIRECT) in the
“PREFERENCE” display:. (See “Preferences via “PREFERENCE” on-screen
display” on page 53.)
• The subwoofer output level can be selected between NORMAL and GAIN
PLUS by the SUBWOOFER switch. Normally it should be set to NORMAL
but to enhance the low frequency, set it to GAIN PLUS.
• You can connect the audio outputs from the player to both a Dolby surround system and a TV via the 5.1-channel and 2-channel outputs.
However, be sure to set DOWN MIX in the DVD on-screen display correctly
according to the playback system (surround system or TV) when playing
back a Dolby Digital 5.1-channel source. Otherwise, audio is not played
back correctly. (See “Down Mix” on page 33.)
Therefore, you cannot get proper audio from both the 2-channel and 5.1channel outputs.

Playable discs by
XV-D2000BK
The XV-D2000BK can play back DVD video, video CD and audio CD discs.
• DVD players and DVD discs have their own numbers describing the region(s) where
they can be played by retail areas. These numbers are called "Region Codes." The
Region Code for this unit is "1", so any discs whose Region Codes is not "1" cannot
be played.
Examples of playable DVD discs
ALL
• This unit is designed to use the NTSC system.
• Any other discs than listed above (CD-ROM, Photo CD, etc.) cannot be played.
Playing back such discs may generate noise and damage speakers.
• Sound of CD-G discs are playable but pictures are unplayable.
• Do not play back CD-R discs. Playing back a CD-R disc may damage the contents
of the disc.

What are title, chapter
and track?
A DVD disc comprises “titles,” while an audio CD or video CD comprises “tracks.”
Each title may be divided into some “chapters.” For example, if a disc contains
some movies, each movie may have its own title number, and each movie may be
divided into some chapters. In a karaoke disc, each song usually has its own title
number and does not have chapters. In general, each title has an independent
content, while each chapter in the same title has continuity.

Dolby Digital
Preliminary Knowledge
Dolby Digital is a surround system using the digital audio compression technology
developed by Dolby laboratories Licensing Corporation. It is configured with six
channels and reproduced by a speaker system including front (L and R), rear (L and
R), center and sub-woofer. Because a sub-woofer in this system is an auxiliary
speaker, this system is called “5.1 channel system”.
In a DVD video disc, the surround audio data is recorded digitally in a bit-stream.
This information is separated into up to 6 (analog) audio channel signals by a decoder,
which are reproduced by up to 6 corresponding speakers via a 6-channel amplifier.
A disc encoded with Dolby Digital displays the symbol. Note that not all Dolby Digital
encoded DVD video discs contain 6 channel signals. Some may contain only L and
R, while the others L, R and rear.
7 The XV-D2000BK fully supports Dolby Digital.
* Built in Dolby Digital decoder and equipped with 5.1ch. outputs.
You do not need an external Dolby Digital decoder. The player decodes Dolby
Digital signal internally and outputs decoded analog signals from the 5.1
channel outputs, which are to be connected directly to an 6-channel amplifier
equipped with 5.1 channel inputs. (See “Connecting with an amplifier
equipped with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel inputs” on page 11)
* Displaying playback Dolby Digital Channels
The front panel display indicates Dolby Digital channels being played back.
L, R: for front (L, R) speakers
LS, RS: for rear (L, R) speakers
C: for a center speaker
LFE: for a sub-woofer
S: for rear speakers (monaural)
* Down Mix selection
Depending on the audio system for playback, you can select the optimum
stereo mix signals. (See “Down Mix” on page 33)
* Selections/settings for 5.1-channel output signals
• Sub-woofer output level selection
You can boost the sub-woofer output level to enhance the low frequency range.
(See “Rear panel” on page 8)
• Selections for Compression (See “Compression” on page 34)
You can select whether or not compressing the dynamic range when playing
back with a 5.1-channel surround system. With no compression, you can enjoy
a dynamic sound DVDs provide. However, we recommend to compress if you
enjoy with low sound level.
• Settings for Center speaker, Surround speakers and Bass redirect
(See See “Preferences via “PREFERENCE” on-screen display” on page 53)
According to your speaker configuration, you can get the optimum sound
balance.

Lo/Ro:If you monitor the player’s 2-channel audio output signals via a TV, an
amplifier with no built-in Dolby Pro Logic, or the player’s headphone
jack. Or if you record DVD audio to a cassette tape, MD, etc.
OFF: If you monitor the player’s 5.1-channel audio output signals via an
amplifier equipped with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel inputs.
* Output signal from DIGITAL OUT
When setting “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” in the PREFERENCE on-screen
display to “PCM ONLY” (see “Selecting Preferences” on page 53”), the
same type of the signal as the analog 2 CH outputs is fed from the DIGITAL
OUT. If you use DIGITAL OUT, select “DOWN MIX” to “Lt/Rt” or “L0/R0”
according to the condition described above.
* If setting “DOWN MIX” to “OFF” while setting “CENTER SPEAKER” and
“SURROUND SPEAKER” in the PREFERENCE on-screen display to “NONE”,
the same signal is output as setting to “Lt/Rt”. (see “Selecting Preferences”
on page 53”)
* If “DOWN MIX” is not correctly selected, you may have a trouble in playing
back a DVD disc recorded with the Dolby Digital surround multichannel
audio as follows.
• Monitoring 2-channel audio with setting “DOWN MIX” to “OFF”: Some
material (such as dialog in a movie) may not be played back. (because
channels except front L and R are not played back.)
• Monitoring 5.1-channel audio with setting “DOWN MIX” to “Lt/Rt” or “L0/
R0”: You cannot hear the sound from speakers except the front L and R.
(because all sounds are mixed into front L and R.)
So if you connect both a Dolby Digital surround system and TV to the player
and use one of them depending on the situation, you must be careful to set
DOWN MIX correctly according to the playback system when playing back a
Dolby Digital 5.1-channel source.
To turn off the on-screen display:

Care and handling of
discs
How to handle discs
When handling a disc, do not touch the surface of the disc (reflective silver side ––
the side without the label).
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.
Even on 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!
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 player.

AV COMPULINK remote
control system
When you buy a separate TV, VCR DVD player, receiver or other components and
connect them to each other, you have to operate each component individually. JVC’s
AV COMPULINK remote control system meets the demand for a system made up of
single components and has the ease of operation of a single unit.
7 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 power switching.
1. Turn on the main power of the television.
2. Insert a disc into the source component.
3. Press 3 of the source component.
The following actions are performed automatically:
• Turning on the power of the television.
• Setting the source of the television to the external input (VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2).
• Turning on the power of the receiver.
• Setting the source of the receiver to the component which has just started playback.
7 Connection and Setup
Using the AV COMPULINK cable, connect the AV COMPULINK terminals of each
component to one another.

The DVD player’s AV COMPULINK setting is operated in the “PEFERENCE” on-screen
display. See “Preferences via “PEFERENCE” on-screen display” on pages 53 for
operation.
Notes for connection
• If you connect a DVD player with a receiver via AV COMPULINK in a system
including a Dolby digital decoder, some functions may not be done automatically.
• The AV COMPULINK terminal on some televisions indicates “II”. Do not connect
the terminal indicating “II” with the AV COMPULINK 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 indicating “DVD”. Otherwise, the system will not work correctly.
There is no description about connections to a DVD player in the instruction manual
of a television or VCR. But a television or VCR with AV COMPULINK terminals
indicating II can be connected to a DVD player.
