Preparations

Connections

Before using the unit, connect the unit to a TV and/or amplifier.
Before making connections
• Do not connect the AC power cord until all other connections have been made.
• Connect VIDEO OUT of the unit directly to the video input of your TV. Connecting VIDEO OUT of the unit 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 unit to an integrated TV/Video system.
Connecting to a TV
The following sections A to C describe TV connections where only a TV is connected to the unit so that you will hear audio from the TV.
A Connecting to a conventional TV
NOTE
If your TV has an AV COMPU LINK terminal, you can use the AV COMPU LINK function. See “AV COMPU LINK remote control system” on page 46 for details.
• 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.
NOTES
• Be sure to connect the red and white plugs of the audio/video cable to the FRONT RIGHT/LEFT jacks on the rear of the unit, as shown in the illustration.
• If your TV has a monaural audio input instead of stereo, you need to use an optional audio cable which converts stereo audio output to monaural.
• Set [ANALOG OUT] in the [AUDIO] preference display to [2-CH STEREO] (see page 38).

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). Film sources are recorded as 24-frame-per­second 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 interpolated picture and outputs as the progressive signal.

Selecting the VIDEO SIGNAL SELECTOR position
• If your TV equipped with component jacks does not support the progressive scanning mode Set the VIDEO SIGNAL SELECTOR to “480i.”
• If your TV equipped with component jacks supports the progressive scanning mode Set the VIDEO SIGNAL SELECTOR to “480p.”
• If you want to select the scanning mode between the interlace and progressive modes (depending on the source condition, or when connecting more than one TV, etc.) Set the VIDEO SIGNAL SELECTOR to “REMOTE.” Thus you can select the mode from the remote control unit.
NOTE
You must change the VIDEO SIGNAL SELECTOR position while the unit power is off. Otherwise, the changed setting is not effective.
Activating the Progressive scanning mode using the remote control unit
When the unit is turned on and the VIDEO SIGNAL SELECTOR is set to “REMOTE,” press and hold down VFP - PROGRESSIVE SCAN for a few seconds. The scanning mode switches between the Progressive scanning and Interlaced scanning modes. When the scanning mode is set to the Progressive mode, the PROGRESSIVE indicator on the front panel turns on. Depending on the [PICTURE SOURCE] setting on the [PICTURE] preference display and whether the current DVD VIDEO disc is film-source or video-source, the color of the indicator differs, as shown in the table below.

NOTES
• The Progressive scanning mode works only when you connect the unit’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 unit, 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 unit (Example: AV-61S902).

• It is not recommended to use the digital jacks for dubbing. When recording the sounds (DVD AUDIO, DVD VIDEO, SVCD, Video CD or Audio CD) played back on the unit, record them through the analog jacks (in this case, set [ANALOG OUT] in the [AUDIO] preference display to [2-CH STEREO]) (see page
38).
• Depending on the disc, no signal may be output from the DIGITAL OUT. Make an analog connection in this case.
• Set [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] in the [AUDIO] preference display correctly according to the connected digital audio equipment. If setting made for [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] is incorrect, loud noise may be generated causing damage to the speakers (see page 38).

Basic operations

Resuming playback

The unit can memorize the position on a disc where you interrupt playback, and resume playback from that position later. There are three resume modes; ON, OFF and DISC RESUME. The mode is initially set to ON when you purchased the unit.
• You can select the mode using the preference display (see page 39).
When the resume mode is “ON”
When you press 7, the unit stops playback and memorizes the interrupted position. The TV screen shows [RESUME STOP] and the display window shows [– – – – RESUME] (for DVD AUDIO/ DVD VIDEO discs) or [– – RESUME] (for SVCD/Video CD/VR format discs). The memory of the interrupted position is not cleared if you turn off the unit. When you turn off the unit after setting the resume function, simply press 3. The unit is turned on, and playback starts from
the interrupted position. If you turn on the unit by pressing then press 3, playback starts from the beginning of the disc. Note that the memory is cleared if you open the disc tray.
When the resume mode is “DISC RESUME”
When you press 7, the unit stops playback and memorizes the interrupted position. The TV screen shows [RESUME STOP] and the display window shows [– – – – RESUME] (for DVD AUDIO/ DVD VIDEO discs) or [– – RESUME] (for SVCD/Video CD discs).
The memory of the interrupted position is not cleared if you open the disc tray or turn off the unit.
Hint
The unit memorizes interrupted positions for the last 30 discs played. Storing a new interrupted position will erase the interrupted position stored for the first disc.
To clear the memory
Press 7 while the disc is stopped.
To resume playback
When the resume mode is “ON”
While the disc you interrupted playback is still on the disc tray, press 3.
The unit resumes playback from the position where playback was interrupted. The TV screen and the display window show [RESUME PLAY].
To play back from the beginning
Press 7 before pressing 3 to start playback.
When the resume mode is “DISC RESUME”
1 Press 0 to insert a disc for which the unit has
stored an interrupted position.
The TV screen shows [RESUME STOP].
2 Press 3.
The TV screen and the display window show [RESUME PLAY] and the unit resumes playback from the position where playback was interrupted.
To play back from the beginning
After inserting the disc, press 7 before pressing 3 to start playback.
NOTES
• If you change the [RESUME] setting from [DISC RESUME] to [OFF] or [ON], you cannot resume playback of a disc whose “resuming” position is stored. However, when you again set [RESUME] to [DISC RESUME], you will then be able to resume playback of the disc.
• If you interrupt the playback of a disc for which an interrupted position has already been stored, the memory will be updated with the new interrupted position.
• For a double-sided DVD AUDIO/DVD VIDEO disc, the unit regards each side as a different disc. Therefore, to resume playback of such a disc, the disc must be inserted with the same side down.
• When the unit memorizes an interrupted point for a disc, it also memorizes Audio, Subtitle and Angle settings.
• The unit may not resume playback exactly from the interrupted point. In the case of an SVCD/Video CD disc with PBC function, the unit may resume playback from a point slightly earlier or later than the point where playback was interrupted.
