player in this state may cause a fire or electrical shock.
Avoid high temperatures
• Do not expose the player to direct sunlight or place it near a
heating device.
Notes on installation
• Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too
cold between 5°C and 35°C.
• Leave sufficient distance between the player and the TV.
• Do not install the player in a place subject to vibrations.
• Do not put heavy objects on the player.

amplifier.
Before making connections
• Do not connect the AC power cord until all other

C Connecting to a TV with component jacks
You can enjoy picture of high-fidelity 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.
• When using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks, do not
connect the S-VIDEO output jack on the player.
• 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). 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 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.

Selecting the 525i/525p/REMOTE selector position
• If your television equipped with component jacks does not
support the progressive scanning mode
Set the selector to “525i.”
• If your television equipped with component jacks supports the
progressive scanning mode
Set the selector to “525p.”
• 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 television, etc.)
Set the selector to “REMOTE.”
Thus you can select the mode from the remote control unit.
NOTE
You must change the 525i/525p/REMOTE selector position while
the player power is off. Otherwise, the changed setting is not
effective.
Activating the Progressive scanning mode using the remote
control unit
When the player is turned on and the 525i/525p/REMOTE
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.

• The Progressive scanning mode works only when the signal
format i s NTSC.
• 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).
• The VIDEO jack, S-VIDEO jack and COMPONENT VIDEO
OUT jacks cannot be used at the same time. Connect cable(s)
only to the jack(s) you want to use.

Connecting to a digital audio device
You can enjoy sound of enhanced quality by connecting the
player’s DIGITAL OUT (either OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack to a
digital input of an amplifier, etc., using an optical or coaxial digital
cable. The digital audio signal on a disc will be transferred directly
from the player. If the connected digital audio equipment is a
Dolby Digital or DTS decoder or an amplifier with a built-in
decoder, you can enjoy high-quality surround sound.

Resuming playback
The player 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 player.
• You can select the mode using the preference display (see
page 33).
When the resume mode is “ON”
When you press 7, the player stops playback and memorizes the
interrupted position. The TV screen shows [RESUME STOP] and
the [RESUME] indicator lights up in the display window.
The memory of the interrupted position is not cleared if you turn
off the player.
When you turn off the player after setting the resume function,
simply press 3. The player is turned on, and playback starts from
the interrupted position. If you turn on the player 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 player stops playback and memorizes the
interrupted position. The TV screen shows [RESUME STOP] and
the [RESUME] indicator lights up in the display window.
The memory of the interrupted position is not cleared if you open
the disc tray or turn off the player.
Hint
The player 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 stop playback completely
Press 7.
Hint
If you press 0 during playback, the player stops playback and
opens the disc tray.
To stop playback temporarily
Press 8.
To resume playback, press 3. (See the following item.)

Basic operations
To resume playback
When the resume mode is “ON”
While the disc you interrupted playback is
still on the disc tray, press 3.
The player resumes playback from the position where
playback was interrupted. The TV screen shows [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 player
has stored an interrupted position.
The TV screen shows [RESUME STOP].
2 Press 3.
The TV screen shows [RESUME PLAY] and the player
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 VIDEO disc, the player 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 player memorizes an interrupted point for a disc, it
also memorizes Audio, Subtitle and Angle settings.
• The player may not resume playback exactly from the
interrupted point. In the case of an SVCD/Video CD disc with
PBC function, the player may resume playback from a point
slightly earlier or later than the point where playback was
interrupted.
