VIDEO

The DVD VIDEO Logo is a trademark.

• CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded with the Audio CD format and CD-R discs recorded with the Audio CD, Video CD and MP3 format can be played back, though some discs may not be played back because of the disc characteristics or

recording condition.

• DVD VIDEO players and DVD VIDEO discs have their own Region Code numbers. This unit only can play back DVD VIDEO discs whose Region Code numbers include "1 " Examples of playable DVD VIDEO discs:

This unit accommodates both the NTSC and PAL system and can playback discs recorded with either system. Note that a PAL video signal on a disc is converted to an NTSC signal and output.

• When playing back a "PAL" disc, the Progressive scan mode is never active even if you set the Progressive scan mode to active.

DIGITAL AUDIO

• 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.

A DVD VIDEO disc is comprised of "titles"while an Audio CD or 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.

Connections

*In the following description, "TV" may be substituted with "monitor" or "projector." *Before using the unit, you have to connect the unit to a TV and/or amplifier.

• Do not connect the AC power cord until all other connections have been made.

• Since different components often have different terminal names, carefully read the instructions supplied with the

component you are going to connect.

You can enjoy playback by simply connecting the unit to a TV. To improve audio sound quality, connect the AUDIO OUT jacks to your separate audio equipment. (See the following pages.)

• You should note that not all Progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets are fully compatible with the unit and may

cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture. In case of progressive scan picture problems, it is recommended that you switch the setting to the "Interlace Scan" output. If there are questions regarding our TV set compatibility with the unit, please contact our customer service center.

• All JVC Progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets have no problem. (Example: AV-61S902)

Getting started

NOTES

• Connect "Y" to "Y'; "PB" to "PB'; "PR" to "PR" correctly.

• When the component video input jacks of the TV is of the BNC type, use an adapter to convert a pin jack to a BNC jack

(optional).

• When the Progressive scan mode is selected, the VIDEO and S-VIDEO outputs do not feed the correct signals.

About SCAN MODE

To display video on the monitor (television) screen, the conventional scanning method is called "Interlaced scan': With this method, only half of the horizontal lines are displayed at a time. So two fields complete a single picture

(frame); i.e., the first field, containing all the odd-numbered lines, is displayed followed by the second field, containing all the even-numbered lines.

On the other hand, the Progressive scan system scans all horizontal lines at a time, so you can double the number of pictures compared with the interlaced scan, resulting flicker-free, high-density picture.

To enjoy the progressive scanned video, a monitor (or TV or projector) to be connected to the unit must have the

Progressive inputs. Depending on the material source format, DVD VIDEO discs can be classified into two types; film source and video

source (Note that some DVD VIDEO discs contain both film source and video source). Film sources are recorded as 24-

frame-per-second information, while (NTSC) video sources are recorded as 30-frame-per-second (60-field-per-second

interlaced) information.

When the unit plays back a film source material, uninterlaced progressive output signals are created using the original

information. When a video source material is played back, the unit interleaves lines between the interlaced lines on each to create the pseudo uninterlaced picture and outputs as the progressive signal.

You can enjoy high-quality audio by connecting the unit's audio output to your amplifier or receiver.

(not supplied)

• Connect the unit's AUDIO OUT to any line-level inputs (such as AUX, DVD, CD, etc.) of an audio amplifier or receiver.

NOTE

• When using the unit with a stereo amplifier or receiver, make the "DOWN MIX" setting in "PREFERENCE2" to "Lo/Ro" (See page 52.)

Getting started

You can enhance the sound quality by connecting either of the unit's DIGITAL OUT jacks to the digital input of an

amplifier, MD, etc. by using an optional digital cable (OPTICAL or COAXIAL). 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, we recommend also to make the analog connection, because, depending on

discs, no signal may be output from the DIGITAL OUT.
