Before using the player, connect the player to a TV and/or amplifier.
Connecting to a TV
A Connecting to a TV with the SCART connector
You can enjoy using the player by simply connecting it to your television set with a 21-pin SCART cable.
Before making connections
• Do not connect the AC power cord until all other connections have been made.
• Connect VIDEO OUT of the player directly to the video input of your TV. Connecting VIDEO OUT of the player to a TV via a VCR may cause a monitor problem when playing back a copy-protected disc. You may also have a monitor problem when connecting the player to an integrated TV/ Video system.
• In the following description, “TV” may be substituted with
“monitor” or “projector.”
• Terminal names used for other components may be different
from those used in the following description.

For XV-N310B/XV-N312S/XV-N315B/ XV-N316S only
You can enjoy picture of high-quality color reproduction by connecting the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks on the player to your TV.
NOTES
• Connect “Y” to “Y,” “PB” to “PB” (CB), “PR” to “PR” (CR) correctly.
• The video output jack, scart connector and component jacks cannot be used at the same time.
• If your TV has component video input jacks of BNC type, use an adapter which converts a pin jack to a BNC jack (not supplied).
Progressive scan video playback available
In the progressive scanning mode, you can enjoy high quality picture with less flickers when the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks are connected to a TV or monitor that supports the progressive video input.
About the scanning mode
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). When the player 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 player interleaves lines between the interlaced lines on each to create the interpolated picture and outputs as the progressive signal.

NOTES
• The Progressive scanning mode works only when you connect the player’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to your TV.
• There are some progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets that are not fully compatible with the player, resulting in the unnatural picture when playing back a DVD VIDEO disc in the Progressive scanning mode. In such a case, use the Interlaced scanning mode. To check the compatibility of your TV set, contact your local JVC customer service center.
• All JVC progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets are fully compatible with the player (Example: AV-61S902).
