read first! Important Safety Precautions!

12. Polarization. This product may be equipped with a

polarized alternating-current-line plug (a plug having one

blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the

power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you

are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try

reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, con-

tact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do

not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

13. Power-Cord Protection. Power-supply cords should

be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or

pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying par-

ticular attention to cords at plugs, convenience recepta-

cles, and the point where they exit from the product.

14. Nonuse Periods. The power cord of the product

should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for

long periods of time.

15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding. If an outside

antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be

sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to

provide some protection against voltage surges and built-

up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical

Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to

proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,

grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge

unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-

discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and

requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure A.

16. Lightning. For added protection for this product

Important Safety Information

that the cable ground shall be connected to the

grounding system of the building, as close to

the point of cable entry as possible.

Verify Line Voltage Before Use

Important Information for the User

Your JBL Cinema ProPack 600II home theater

system has has been designed for use with

120-volt AC current. Connection to a line voltage

other than that for which it is intended can

create a safety and fire hazard and may

damage the system.

This equipment has been tested and found to

comply with the limits for a Class-B digital

device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

Installation Location

The limits are designed to provide reasonable

protection against harmful interference in a

residential installation. This equipment gener-

ates, uses and can radiate radio-frequency energy

and, if not installed and used in accordance

with the instructions, may cause harmful inter-

ference to radio communication. However,

there is no guarantee that harmful interference

will not occur in a particular installation. If this

equipment does cause harmful interference to

radio or television reception (which can be

determined by turning the equipment off and

on), the user is encouraged to try to correct the

interference by one or more of the following

measures:

■ To ensure proper operation, particularly of

the precision laser transport mechanism and

carousel tray in the DVD600II, and to avoid

the potential for safety hazards, place the

components on a firm and level surface.

When placing the components on a shelf, be

certain that the shelf and any mounting hard-

ware can support the weight of the product.

If you have any questions about the voltage

requirements for your specific model, or about

the line voltage in your area, contact your selling

dealer before plugging the components into a

wall outlet.

■ Make certain that proper space is provided

both above and below each component for

ventilation. If this product will be installed in

a cabinet or other enclosed area, make cer-

tain that there is sufficient air movement

within the cabinet. Under some circum-

stances, a fan may be required.

■ Make certain that there is enough room in

front of the DVD600II for the disc tray to open

fully, and that there is enough space above

the unit so that discs may easily be inserted.

■ Do not place the components directly on a

carpeted surface.

■ Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold

locations, or in an area that is exposed to

direct sunlight or heating equipment.

Do Not Use Extension Cords

To avoid safety hazards, use only the power

cord attached to your components. We do not

recommend that extension cords be used with

this product. As with all electrical devices, do

not run power cords under rugs or carpets or

place heavy objects on them. Damaged power

cords should be replaced immediately by an

authorized service depot with a cord meeting

factory specifications.

■ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

■ Increase the separation between the equip-

ment and receiver.

■ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a

circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

■ Consult the dealer or an experienced

radio/TV technician for help.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC

Rules. Operation is subject to the following

two conditions: (1) this device may not cause

harmful interference, and (2) this device must

accept interference received, including interfer-

ence that may cause undesired operation.

Handle the AC Power Cord Gently

When disconnecting the power cord from an

AC outlet, always pull the plug – never pull the

cord. If you do not intend to use the system for

any considerable length of time, disconnect the

plugs from the AC outlet.

■ Avoid moist or humid locations.

Do Not Open the Cabinet

of Any Components

■ Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the

top of any component, or place objects

directly over them.

■ Do not place the DVD600II in a location that

is subject to direct sunlight or extreme heat

or cold, as these conditions may damage the

discs used in the player, or the player itself.

■ If you will be stacking the DCR600II and

DVD600II, place the DVD600II DVD changer

on top of the DCR600II receiver, as the

receiver is too heavy to be placed on top of

the DVD changer.

There are no user-serviceable components

inside this product. Opening the cabinets may

present a shock hazard, and any modification

to the product will void your guarantee. If water

or any metal object such as a paper clip, wire or

a staple accidentally falls inside, disconnect it

from the AC power source immediately, and

consult an authorized service station.

NOTE: Changes or modifications may

cause this system to fail to comply

with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and may

void the user’s authority to operate the

equipment.

in shipping if you move, or should the system

ever need repair.

connected to this product, be certain that it

is grounded so as to provide some protection

against voltage surges and static charges.

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,

ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information

with respect to proper grounding of the mast

and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in

wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding

conductors, location of antenna discharge

unit, connection to grounding electrodes and

requirements of the grounding electrode.

Cleaning

When the system gets dirty, wipe it with a

clean, soft, dry cloth. If necessary, wipe it with

a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water,

then a fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe dry

immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER use ben-

zene, aerosol cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any

other volatile cleaning agent. Do not use

abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the fin-

ish of metal parts. Avoid spraying insecticide

near the components.

To minimize the size of the carton in storage,

you may wish to flatten it. This is done by

carefully slitting the tape seams on the bottom

and collapsing the carton. Other cardboard

inserts may be stored in the same manner.

Packing materials that cannot be collapsed

should be saved along with the carton in a

plastic bag.

If you do not wish to save the packaging mate-

rials, please note that the carton and other

sections of the shipping protection are recycla-

ble. Please respect the environment and dis-

card those materials at a local recycling center.

Where to Place the Speakers

Front Speakers

Center Channel Speaker

The front speakers should be placed the same

distance from each other as they are from the

listening position. They should be placed at

about the same height from the floor as the

listeners’ ears will be, or they may be angled

toward the listeners.

Subwoofer

The center channel speaker should be placed

slightly behind the front left and right speakers,

and no more than two feet above or below the

tweeters of the left and right speakers. It is

often convenient to set the center speaker on

top of the television set, as shown in the drawing.

Use the supplied support leg to aim it toward

the listener by screwing the leg in to angle the

speaker up, or unscrewing the leg slightly to

angle the speaker down.

Surround Speakers

The two surround speakers should be placed

slightly behind the listening position and, ideally,

should face each other and be at a level higher

than the listeners’ ears. If that is not possible,

The low-frequency material reproduced by the

subwoofer is mostly omnidirectional, and this

they may be placed on a wall behind the listening speaker may be placed in a convenient location

position, facing forward. The surround speakers

should not call attention to themselves. Exper-

iment with their placement until you hear a

diffuse, ambient sound accompanying the main-

program material heard in the front speakers.

in the room. However, the best reproduction of

bass will be heard when the subwoofer is

placed in a corner along the same wall as the

front speakers. Experiment with subwoofer

placement by temporarily placing the subwoofer

Connecting the Speakers

Separate and strip

the ends of the

speaker wire as

shown. Speakers

and electronics

terminals have

corresponding (+)

and (–) terminals.

The wires for the three front speakers should all Front Left: White Wire

be of the same length even if the speakers will be

placed at varying distances from the DCR600II.

The same applies to the two rear speakers. To

make sure that you use the correct wires for

each speaker, we have color-coded them, as

shown in the diagram:

Center: Green Wire

Front Right: Red Wire

Surround Right: Gray Wire

Surround Left: Blue Wire

Subwoofer: Brown Wire

Most manufacturers of speakers and electronics,

including JBL, use red to denote the (+) terminal

and black for the (–) terminal.

The (+) lead of the speaker wire is noted with a

ridge or stripe. It is important to connect both

speakers identically: (+) on the speaker to (+) on

the receiver and (–) on the speaker to (–) on the

receiver. Wiring “out of phase” results in thin

sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image.

With the advent of multichannel surround sound

systems, connecting all of the speakers in your

system with the correct polarity remains equally

important in order to preserve the proper ambi-

ence and directionality of the program material.

To use the binding-post speaker terminals on

the rear panel of the DCR600II receiver, and on

the subwoofer, unscrew the colored collar until

the pass-through hole in the center post is

visible under the collar. Insert the bare end of

the wire through this hole; then screw the collar

down until the connection is tight. The hole in

the center of each collar is intended for use

with banana-type connectors.

To connect the supplied speaker wires to the

satellite and center speaker terminals, press the

red or black plastic tab for the desired terminal,

insert the bare end of the wire into the hole and

release the tab. Gently tug on the wire to make

sure that it is fully inserted.

Making the Audio Connections

If you will be stacking the DCR600II and

DVD600II, place the DVD600II DVD changer

on top of the DCR600II receiver, as the

receiver is too heavy to be placed on top of

the DVD changer.

¡ Coaxial Digital Audio Output: Connect

to the coaxial digital input connector on a

CD-R or MiniDisc recorder.

§ Tape Inputs: Connect to PLAY/OUT jacks

of an audio recorder.

IMPORTANT NOTES

A. The AC plug connections should always be

the last connections made when installing an

A/V system. When making subsequent connec-

tions to audio source equipment or speakers,

it is always a good practice to unplug the unit

from the AC wall outlet. This prevents the pos-

sibility of sending audio or transient signals to

the speakers that may damage them.

¶ Tape Outputs: Connect to RECORD/INPUT

jacks of an audio recorder.

™ Coaxial Digital Inputs: Connect to coax

digital output of a digital source. The signal

may be either a Dolby Digital signal, DTS sig-

nal or a standard PCM digital source. Do not

connect the RF digital output of an LD player to

these jacks. To benefit from the factory default

setting of the DCR600II, it is recommended

that you plug the Coaxial Digital Output

of the DVD600II into the jack marked “1 (DVD)”

• CD Inputs: Connect to output of a CD player.

NOTE: When the CD player has both fixed and

variable audio outputs, it is best to use the

fixed output unless you find that the input to

the receiver is so low that the sound is noisy,

or so high that the signal is distorted.

B. Connect devices as per the Quick Setup

Guide or per pages 6 through 8 of this manual.

C. The DCR600II offers both composite and

S-Video inputs and outputs. However, either

S-Video or composite input/output connections

should be used throughout the system in order

for it to function properly. Do not use S-Video and

composite video connections interchangeably.

to this jack.

£ Optical Digital Input: Connect to optical

digital output of a digital source. The signal

may be either a Dolby Digital signal, a DTS

signal or a standard PCM digital source.

‚ Remote IR Output: Permits the IR sensor

D. The digital outputs are active only when a

digital signal is present, and they do not con-

vert an analog input to a digital signal, or

change the format of the digital signal. In

addition, any digital recorder used must be

compatible with the output signal. For exam-

ple, the PCM digital input from a CD player

may be recorded on a CD-R or MiniDisc, but

Dolby Digital or DTS signals may not.

think of the remote as being organized into

“pages,” with one page for each device.

Depending on which device has been selected,

the buttons on that device’s page will perform

different functions, as listed starting on the

next page. These functions may vary from the

labels on the remote, and from one device to

the next. Some buttons may perform no func-

tion at all for a given device.

Configuring the DCR600II Receiver

Once the speakers have been placed in the

room and connected, the remaining steps in the

setup process are to calibrate the output levels

and set the delay times used by the surround

sound processor.

each of these settings use the LARGE setting

if the speakers for a particular position are tra-

ditional full-range loudspeakers that are capable

of reproducing sounds below 100Hz. Use the

SMALL setting for smaller, frequency-limited

satellite speakers that do not reproduce sounds

below 100Hz. Note that when “Small” speakers

are used, a subwoofer is required to reproduce

low-frequency sounds. Remember that the

“Large” and “Small” descriptions do not refer to

the actual physical size of the speakers, but

their ability to reproduce low-frequency sounds.

If you are in doubt as to which category

6. Press the Set Button

again, and use the

Selector Buttons 5on the front panel, to

select the option that best describes your sys-

tem, based on the speaker definitions shown

in the preceding section.

The DCR600II features an advanced memory

system that enables you to establish different

configurations for the speaker configuration,

surround mode, delay times and output levels

for each input source. This flexibility enables

you to custom-tailor the way in which you listen

to each source and have the DCR600II memorize

those settings. This means, for example, that

you may use different output levels or trims for

different sources, or set different speaker con-

figurations with the resultant changes to the

bass management system. Once these settings

are made, they will automatically be recalled

whenever you select that input.

When CEN SMALL is selected, low-

frequency center-channel sounds will be sent

to the subwoofer output only. Note that if you

choose this option and there is no subwoofer

connected, you will not hear any low-frequency

sounds from the center channel speaker.

When CEN LARGE is selected, a full-range

output will be sent to the center-speaker output,

and NO center-channel signal will be sent to

the subwoofer output. This selection is not

available when Logic 7 has been selected as

the surround mode.

describes your speakers, consult the specifica-

tions in the speakers’ owner’s manual, or ask

your dealer.

With the DCR600II turned on, follow these steps

to configure the speakers:

When CEN NONE is selected, no signals

will be sent to the center-channel output. The

receiver will operate in a “phantom” center-

channel mode and center-channel information

will be sent to the front-left and front-right

channel outputs.

1. Put the DCR600II in the Dolby Pro Logic II

mode by pressing the Surround Mode

Selector 7on the front panel or by pressing

the Surround Mode Selector ton the

remote, until DOLBY PRO LOGIC II –

MOVIES appears in the Main Infor-

mation Display Uand the PRO LOGIC II

Indicator Flights.

The factory default settings for the DCR600II

have all inputs (except DVD) configured for an

analog source, and stereo as the surround

mode. Before using the unit, you will probably

want to change the settings for most inputs so

that they are properly configured to reflect the

use of digital or analog inputs, and the surround

mode specifics. Remember that since the

DCR600II memorizes the settings for each input

individually, you will need to make these adjust-

ments for each input used. However, once they

are made, further adjustment is only required

when system components are changed.

7. When you have completed your selection for

the center channel, press the Set Button ^,

and then press the Selector Buttons 5on

the front panel to change the display to

SUR SPEAKER.

2. Press the Speaker Button Ôon the front

panel. The words FNT SPEAKER will

appear in the Main Information Display U.

8. Press the Set Button

again, and then use

the Selector Buttons 5on the front panel

to select the option that best describes your

system, based on the speaker definitions

shown in the preceding section.

4. Press the Selector Buttons 5on the front

panel until either LARGE or SMALL

appears, matching the type of speakers you

have at the front-left and front-right positions,

as described by the definitions shown in the

preceding section.

Once you have completed the settings for the

first input, many settings may be duplicated for

the remaining inputs. Remember that once the

settings are made for one input, they must be

made for all other input sources in your system.

When SUR SMALL is selected, low-

frequency surround-channel sounds will be

sent to the subwoofer output only. Note that

if you choose this option and there is no sub-

woofer connected, you will not hear any low-

frequency sounds from the surround speaker.

Memory Backup

When SMALL is selected, low-frequency

sounds will be sent to the subwoofer output

only. Note that if you choose this option, and

there is no subwoofer connected, you will not

hear any low-frequency sounds from the front

channels.

This product is equipped with a memory backup

system that preserves the system configuration

information and tuner presets if the unit is acci-

dentally unplugged or subjected to a power out-

age. This memory will last for approximately

two weeks, after which time all information

must be reentered.

When SUR LARGE is selected, a full-range

output will be sent to the surround-channel

outputs, and NO surround-channel signals will

be sent to the subwoofer output.

When LARGE is selected, a full-range

output will be sent to the front-left and

front-right outputs, and NO low-frequency

signals will be sent to the subwoofer output.

Configuring the Speakers

The following instructions are to be followed only

if the DCR600II is NOT used with JBL SCS135P,

or if speaker settings have been accidently

altered from the default settings, which are

SMALL for all positions with the subwoofer set

to SUB L/R+LFE. Otherwise, go to the

output level adjustments section on page 39. For

When SUR NONE is selected, surround

sound information will be split between the

front-left and front-right outputs. Note that

for optimal performance when no surround

speakers are in use, the Dolby 3 Stereo mode

should be used instead of Dolby Pro Logic II.

5. When you have completed your selection for

the front channel, press the Set Button ^,

and then press the Selector Buttons 5on

the front panel to change the display to

CEN SPEAKER.

Adjusting the Output Levels

Output level adjustment is a key part of the

configuration process for any surround sound

product. It is particularly important for a Dolby

Digital receiver such as the DCR600II, as correct

outputs will ensure that you hear soundtracks in

their proper place with the proper directionality

and intensity.

10. Press the Set Button , and then press

the Selector Buttons 5on the front panel

to select the option that best describes your

system.

To adjust and calibrate the output levels, follow

these steps. For accurate calibration, it is a

good idea to make these adjustments while

seated in your favorite listening position:

IMPORTANT NOTE: Listeners are often

confused about the operation of the surround

channels. While some assume that sound

should always be coming from each speaker,

most of the time there will be little or no sound

in the surround channels. This is because they

are only used when a movie director or sound

mixer specifically places sound there to create

ambience or a special effect, or to continue

action from the front of the room to the rear.

When the output levels are properly set, it is

normal for surround speakers to operate only

occasionally. Artificially increasing the volume

to the rear speakers may destroy the illusion of

an enveloping sound field that duplicates the

way you hear sound in a movie theater or con-

cert hall.

The choices available for the subwoofer position

will depend on the settings for the other speakers,

particularly the front left/right positions.

1. Put the DCR600II in the Dolby Pro Logic II mode

by pressing the Surround Mode Selector 7

on the front panel, or by pressing the Surround

Mode Selector ton the remote, until

DOLBY PRO LOGIC II – MOVIES

appears in the Main Information Display U

and the PRO LOGIC II Indicator Flights up.

If the front left/right speakers are set to SMALL,

the subwoofer will automatically be set to SUB,

which is the “on” position.

If the front left/right speakers are set to LARGE,

three options are available:

3. The test noise will immediately begin to

circulate in the speakers in a clockwise

rotation, pausing at each position for three

seconds. As the test noise rotates, the speaker

position will be shown in the Main Information

Display U.

Before beginning the adjustment process, make

certain that all speaker connections have been

properly made. The system volume should be

set to the level that you will use during a typical

listening session. The Bass and Treble controls

should be set to 0dB, or press the Tone Mode

Button 6to disable them. To adjust the Bass

and Treble controls, press the Tone Mode

To assist in making speaker configuration set-

tings, the icons in the Speaker/Channel Input

Indicators Mchange as the speaker type is

selected at each position. When only the center

icon box containing the abbreviation for the

speaker position is lit, the speaker is set for

“Small.” When the inner box and the two outer

boxes are lit, the speaker is set for “Large.”

When no indicator appears at a speaker

location, that position is set for “None” or

“No” speaker.

If a subwoofer is connected and you wish to

use it for bass reproduction in conjunction

with the main front left/right speakers,

regardless of the type of program source

or surround mode you are listening to,

press the Selector Buttons 5so that

SUB L/R+LFE appears in the Main

Setting Delay Times

Due to the different distances between the

front-channel speakers and the listening posi-

tion compared to the surround speakers and the

listening position, the amount of time it takes

for sound to reach your ears from the front or

step within 20 seconds.

We suggest that you refrain from reprogramming

the main and DVD functions. Should you repro-

gram them inadvertently, you may reprogram each

of these buttons individually to code 001 to reset

it without disturbing other functions programmed

into the remote.

Auto-Searching for Product Codes

If the unit you wish to include in the remote is

not listed in the code tables in this manual or if

the code does not seem to operate properly, you

may wish to program the correct code using the

Auto Search method that follows:

Entering Product Codes

This method is the easiest way to program your

remote to work with different products.

2. Press the Set Button

. The Program

Indicator LED will then blink in a sequence

that corresponds to the three-digit code, with a

one-second pause between digits. Count the

number of blinks between pauses to determine

the digit of the code. One blink is the number 1,

two blinks is the number 2, and so forth, while

10 blinks are used to indicate a “0.”

1. Use the tables on pages 28 to 37 to determine

the three-digit code or codes that match both

the product type (e.g., VCR, TV) and the

specific brand name. If there is more than one

number for a brand, make note of the differ-

ent choices.

1. Turn on the unit that you wish to include in

the remote.

2. Press the Input Selector ijl–o

for the type of product to be entered (e.g.,

VCR, TV) and the Mute Button cat the

same time. Hold both buttons until the

red light under the Input Selector ij

l–oand the Program Indicator LED

stay lit. Note that the next step must take

place while the red light is on, and it must

begin within 20 seconds after the light

appears.

Example: One blink, followed by a one-second

pause, followed by six blinks, followed by a

one-second pause, followed by 10 blinks indi-

cates that the code has been set to 160.

2. Turn on the unit you wish to program into the

remote.

3. Press and hold both the Input Selector

Programming Macros

Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently

used combinations of commands with the press

of a single button on the remote control. Once

programmed, a macro will send out up to 19

different remote codes in a predetermined

sequential order, enabling you to automate the

process of turning on your system, changing

devices, or other common tasks. The remote can

store up to three separate macro command

sequences: one that is associated with the Power

On Button b, and two more that are accessed

by pressing the Macro Buttons fg.

The JBL One Click™ remote also features two

preprogrammed functions, ALL OFF uand

ALL ON v, that turn all eight programmed

devices off or on when the appropriate key is

pressed.

1. Press the Mute Button cand the Macro

Buttons fgto be programmed or the

grammed into one of the Macro buttons, follow

these steps:

To find out what function a particular button has

for a specific device, find the button number on

the Function List and then look in the column for

the device you are controlling. For example,

button number 7 is the Macro 2 button for the

DCR600II, but it is the Repeat button for CD

players, and the Favorite Channels button for

cable boxes and satellite receivers. Button num-

ber 32 is the Delay button for the DCR600II, but

the Time button for CD players, and Preview

Channel button for many TVs, cable television

boxes and satellite services.

Configuring the DVD600II DVD Changer

Playback of DTS audio discs requires

connection to a processor or receiver with

a DTS decoder, such as the DCR600II

from the Internet onto your personal computer.

Many users are able to copy these files onto

compact discs. Until recently, it has not been pos-

sible to play these discs in a standard CD or DVD

player. However, the DVD600II is capable of rec-

ognizing and playing program material on MP3

audio discs.

•

DVD Compatibility &

Terminology

The DVD600II is more than a DVD player;

it will play the following disc formats:

Playback capability for CD-R/RW discs may

vary due to variations in the quality of the

CD-R/RW disc and the recorder used to

create the disc.

Multiple Angle: DVDs have the capability to

show up to four different views of the same

scene in a program. When a disc is encoded

with multiple-angle information, pressing the

Angle button will enable you to switch between

these different views. Note that, at present,

few discs take advantage of this capability and,

when they do, the multiple-angle technology

may only be present for short periods of time

within the disc. Producers will usually insert

some sort of icon or graphic in the picture to

alert you to the availability of multiple-angle

scenes.

Since they share some of the characteristics and

technology of CD players, many of the terms

and operational concepts used in a DVD player

are similar to what you may be familiar with

from CD players and changers, or older video

disc formats such as Laser Disc. However, if this

is your first DVD product, some of the terms

used to describe the features of a DVD player

may be unfamiliar. The following explanations

should solve some of the mysteries of DVD, and

help you to enjoy all the power and flexibility of

the DVD format and the DVD.

Aspect Ratio: This is a description of the width

of a video image in relation to its height. A con-

ventional video screen is four units wide for

every three units of height, making it almost

square. Newer, wide-aspect ratio video displays

are 16 units wide for every nine units of height,

making them more like the screen in a movie

theater. The program material on a DVD may be

recorded in either format and, in addition, you

may configure the DVD to play back in either

format, depending on the features recorded

on a disc.

Reading: This is a message that you will see

when you first press the Play button. It refers

to the fact that the player must first examine

the contents of the disc to see whether it is a

CD or DVD, and then extract the information

about the type of material on the disc, such as

languages, aspect ratios, subtitles, number of

titles and more. The slight delay while the con-

tents of the disc are read is normal.

Notes on DVD-Audio discs:

• The DVD600II is not capable of playing selec-

tions in the DVD-Audio format. However, many

DVD-Audio discs include audio tracks in the

PCM, Dolby Digital or other formats which the

DVD600II is capable of playing. You may need

to press the Title Button xrather than the

Menu Button zin order to access these

formats.

Resume: The operation of the Stop button on

the DVD600II works differently from what you

are used to on CD or CD players. On a traditional

CD player, when you press the Stop button, the

unit does just that: it stops playback. On a CD

player, when you press the Start button again,

the disc starts from the beginning. With the

DVD600II, however, you have two options when

playing CDs or DVDs (but not MP3 discs).

Pressing Stop once will stop the playback, but it

actually puts the unit in the Resume mode. This

means that you can turn the machine off and,

when you press Play the next time, the disc will

resume or continue from the point on the disc

where the Stop button was pressed. This is

helpful if you are watching a movie and must

interrupt your viewing session but wish to pick

up where you left off. Pressing the Stop button

twice will stop the machine in a traditional

manner and, when the disc is played again, it

will start from the beginning.

Chapter: DVD programs are divided into chap-

ters and titles. Chapters are the subsections

programmed into a single title on a disc.

Chapters may be compared to the individual

tracks on an audio CD. Press the Menu button to

see a listing of the chapters on a disc.

• Some DVD-Audio discs display a still picture

while a selection is playing. Sometimes, this

picture may disappear when play is stopped and

the DVD600II is placed in the Resume mode. To

restore the picture, fully stop play by pressing

Component Video: This is an advanced form of

video signal which eliminates many of the arti-

facts of traditional composite-video signals by

splitting the signal into a separate luminance

channel and two color-difference signals. With a

component-video connection, you will see

greater picture resolution and eliminate many

picture imperfections, such as the moiré pat-

terns often seen on check-patterned cloths.

However, in order to benefit from component

video, you must have a video display with

Y/Pr/Pb component-video inputs. Do not connect

the component-video outputs of the DVD600II to

the standard composite or S-Video inputs of a

TV or recorder.

twice before contin-

uing play.

NOTE: Due to differences in the format of

certain discs, it is possible that some discs may

include a mix of features that are not compati-

ble with the DVD600II. Similarly, although the

DVD600II is capable of a wide range of features,

not all discs include every capability of the

DVD system. For example, although the

DVD600II is compatible with multi-angle discs,

that feature is only possible when the disc is

specially encoded for multiple-angle play. In

addition, the DVD600II is capable of playing back

both Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks, but the

number and types of tracks available will vary

from disc to disc. To make certain that a specific

feature or soundtrack option is available, please

check the options noted on the disc jacket.

Title: For a DVD, a title is defined as an entire

movie or program. For a DVD-Audio disc, the

title may be defined as the audio track, e.g., lin-

ear PCM or 5.1-channel Dolby Digital. There

may be as many chapters within a title as the

producers decide to include. Most discs include

Parental Lock and Passwords

The DVD600II enables you to control the discs

that are viewed by setting a ratings level. When

a disc that’s ready to play has a rating level

greater than the default, it will not play. To

further protect against unauthorized viewing of

restricted discs, the ratings-level option may be

locked so that only authorized persons (such as

a parent) may change the ratings level after a

password is entered.

Although the default will set the language that

The ratings system is dependent on information

encoded into the DVD disc being played so,

although most movies will carry an MPAA or

other rating symbol, the disc may or may not

contain that rating in its software. In addition to

the five MPAA ratings of G, PG, PG-13, R and

NC-17, the DVD600II will accommodate a total

of eight ratings steps, as set by the creators of

the DVD format. These additional steps allow

for more critical control of program playback for

screen, with the pan-and-scan version on one

side of a disc and the wide-screen, but letterbox

version, on the other side.

Setting the Aspect Ratio

The aspect ratio of a television picture is the

relationship between its width and height, and

it defines the shape of the picture. Television

sets have traditionally had an aspect ratio of

4 x 3, which is to say that they are almost

square, with slightly more width than height.

Almost all television programming is presented

in the 4 x 3 aspect ratio so that the pictures fit

within the confines of the TV screen.

The DVD600II will play either type of disc, and

you may select a default that tells which way to

present the image when there is a choice.

NOTE: If the wide-screen option is chosen

and a wide-screen movie is played on a conven-

tional 4 x 3 aspect ratio set, the image will be

distorted due to vertical compression.

To select an aspect ratio default, you must be

Movies, on the other hand, have a variety of

what are known as “wide aspect ratio” formats

that are significantly wider in relation to their

height than traditional television pictures.

Indeed, the development of wide-screen movies

was something that was popularized in the

1950s in response to the success of television;

movie producers wanted to provide a wider

vista than what was afforded by TVs.

Setting the Dynamic Range

With the DVD format you have the opportunity

to hear a program’s soundtrack in the most

accurate and realistic presentation possible,

thanks to the use of digital audio technology.

However, in certain instances you may wish to

slightly compress the dynamic range of the audio

output (the difference between the loudest

sounds and the quietest ones) so that you

may listen to a movie at a lower volume that

does not disturb others without losing dialogue

intelligibility.

However, since many movies are produced for a

wider screen than the TV set they are played on,

a problem arises that is like fitting a square peg

into a round hole. In many instances this is

taken care of by the disc’s producers, who refor-

mat the image to fit within a standard 4 x 3 TV

screen. Discs such as this require no special

setting. The only downside to this is that when

wide-screen movies are converted to 4 x 3,

some of the information at the sides of a scene

may be cut off due to the difference in picture

shape. This is also called a “pan and scan”

presentation, as a 4 x 3 viewing area is moved

across the wider cinema image.

Figure 13

Depending on the type of television set you

have, choose one of these three options:

4 x 3 Letterbox: Choose this setting if you

•

have a standard 4 x 3 television set and

prefer to see movies in their original aspect

ratio. You will see the entire movie but, when

it is presented in a letterbox fashion, there

will be black bars at the top and bottom of the

screen. Movies or other programs recorded in a

4 x 3 format will appear normal.

In most cases, it is desirable to leave the

Dynamic Range setting at “OFF” so that no

compression is applied to the audio, but if you

wish to change to a compressed setting, follow

these steps:

Other discs are produced in what is called a

“letterbox wide-screen” format. In this case, the

entire wide image is fit inside the 4 x 3 screen

shape from side to side. This means that you

see the entire picture as the movie’s director

intended, but the height of the picture is

reduced to accommodate the added width. The

blank areas that appear at the top and bottom

of the screen make the image in the center

appear as if you are looking through a mail slot,

giving this sort of presentation the nickname of

“letterbox.”

Logic 7 C delivers increased center-channel intelligibility, and more accurate placement of sounds

with fades and pans that are much smoother and more realistic than with other decoding

techniques. The Logic 7 M, or Music, mode should be used with analog or PCM stereo sources.

Logic 7 M enhances the listening experience by presenting a wider front soundstage and greater

rear ambience. Both Logic 7 modes also direct low-frequency information to the subwoofer

(if installed and configured) to deliver maximum bass impact.

Delay time not adjustable

Dolby 3 Stereo

Uses the information contained in a surround-encoded or two-channel stereo program to

create center-channel information. In addition, the information that is normally sent to the

DTS-encoded soundtracks are available on

select DVD discs, as well as on special audio-

only DTS discs. You may use any CD player

equipped with a digital output to play DTS-

encoded discs with the DCR600II. All that is

required is to connect the player’s output to

either the Optical or Coaxial Input ™£ on

the rear panel.

To listen to a program in traditional two-channel

stereo, using the front left and front right

on the DCR600II

speakers only (plus the subwoofer if installed

and configured), follow the instructions shown

above for using the remote until SURR OFF

appears in the Main Information Display U.

Note that the DCR600II does not include a bal-

ance control. Also, as described elsewhere in

this manual, the bass and treble adjustments are

accessed by pressing the Tone Mode Button 6

followed by the Set Button ^.

Selection of a surround mode is based on personal

taste, as well as the type of program source

material being used. For example, motion pictures

or TV programs bearing the logo of one of the

major surround-encoding processes, such as

Dolby Surround, DTS Stereo or UltraStereo may

be played in either the Dolby Digital, Dolby

Pro Logic II Movies or Logic 7 Cinema surround

modes, depending on the source material.

In order to listen to DVDs encoded with DTS

soundtracks, the DVD player must be compatible

with the DTS signal as indicated by a DTS logo

on the player’s front panel. This does not indicate

a problem with the DCR600II, as some players

cannot pass the DTS signal through to the digital

outputs. Note that, although early DVD players

may not be able to play DTS-encoded DVDs, the

DVD600II is compatible. If you are in doubt as to

the capability of your DVD player to handle DTS

discs, consult the player’s owner’s manual.

Using Digital Sources

Digital audio is a major advance over older systems

such as the original version of Dolby Pro Logic. It

delivers five discrete channels: front left, center,

front right, surround left and surround right. Each

channel reproduces full frequency range (20Hz to

20kHz) and offers dramatically improved dynamic

range and significant improvements to signal-to-

noise ratios. In addition, digital systems have the

capability to deliver an additional channel that is

specifically devoted to low-frequency information.

This is the “.1” channel referred to when you see

these systems described as “5.1”. The bass chan-

nel is separate from the other channels, but

since it is intentionally bandwidth-limited, sound

designers have given it that unique designation.

NOTE: Once a program has been encoded with

matrix surround information, it retains the

surround information as long as the program is

broadcast in stereo. Thus, movies with surround

sound may be decoded via any of the analog

surround modes such as Pro Logic II or Logic 7,

when they are broadcast via conventional TV

stations, cable, pay-TV and satellite transmission.

In addition, a growing number of made-for-television

programs, sports broadcasts, radio dramas and

music CDs are also recorded in surround sound.

You may view a list of these programs at the

Dolby Laboratories Web site at www.dolby.com.

Selecting a Digital Source

To utilize either digital mode, you must have

properly connected a digital source to the

DCR600II. Connect the digital outputs from DVD

players, HDTV receivers, satellite systems or CD

players to the Optical or Coaxial Inputs ™£.

The DCR600II automatically assigns the

Make sure to connect the Coaxial Digital

Even when a program is not listed as carrying

intentional surround information, you may find

that the Pro Logic II, Logic 7, Hall 1, Hall 2 or

Theater modes often deliver enveloping surround

presentations through the use of the natural

information present in all stereo recordings.

However, for stereo – but not surround – pro-

grams, we suggest that you experiment with the

other modes.

When the digital source is playing, the DCR600II present, all modes except Dolby Digital and DTS

will automatically detect whether it is a multi-

is normal, and the digital playback will resume

once the playback is started again.

In addition to the bitstream indicators, the

DCR600II features a set of unique channel-input

indicators that tell you how many channels of

digital information are being received and/or

whether the digital signal is interrupted.

Night Mode

A special feature of Dolby Digital is the Night

mode, or Dynamic Range Compression mode,

which enables these input sources to be played

back with full digital intelligibility while reduc-

ing the minimum peak level by ¹/4 to ¹/3. This

prevents abruptly loud transitions from disturb-

ing others, without reducing the impact of the

digital source. The Night mode is available only

when Dolby Digital signals with special data are

being played.

These indicators are the L/C/R/SL/SR/LFE let-

ters that are inside the center boxes of the

Speaker/Channel Input Indicators Min the

front panel Main Information Display (.

When a standard analog signal is in use, only

the “L” and “R” indicators will light, as analog

signals have only left and right channels,

respectively.

Digital Status Indicators

When a digital source is playing, the DCR600II

senses the type of bitstream data that is present.

Using this information, the correct surround

mode will automatically be selected. For example,

DTS bitstreams will cause the unit to switch to

DTS decoding, and Dolby Digital bitstreams will

enable Dolby Digital decoding. When the unit

senses PCM data from CDs, it will allow the

appropriate surround sources to be selected

manually. Since the range of available surround

modes is dependent on the type of digital data

that is present, the DCR600II uses a variety of

indicators to let you know what type of signal is

present. This will help you to understand the

choice of modes.

The Night mode may be engaged when a Dolby

Digital DVD is playing by pressing the Night

Digital signals, however, may have two, five or

six separate channels, depending on the

program material, the method of transmission

and the way in which it was encoded. When a

digital signal is playing, the letters in these

indicators will light in response to the specific

signal being received. It is important to note

that although Dolby Digital, for example, is

referred to as a “5.1” system, not all Dolby

Digital DVDs or programs are encoded for 5.1.

Thus, it is sometimes normal for a DVD with a

Dolby Digital soundtrack to trigger only the “L”

and “R” indicators.

stop, and the channel position letters inside the

problem with either the DCR600II or the source

machine. The DCR600II will return to digital

playback as soon as the data is available and

when the machine is in a standard play mode.

DOLBY D: When the DOLBY D Indicator A

lights, a Dolby Digital bitstream is being

received. Depending on the settings on the

source player and specific surround information

and number of channels on the disc, a number

of surround modes are possible. For discs with

full 5.1 audio, only the Dolby Digital mode is

available. When the Dolby Digital signal is only

two-channel, you may also select from the Logic

7 Cinema/Music, Hall, Theater, Dolby Pro Logic

II Movies/Music/Emulation, or Dolby 3 Stereo

modes. When the receiver detects a 2.0-channel

Dolby Digital signal, it will automatically select

Dolby Pro Logic II as the surround processing

mode, and both the Dolby Digital Dand

Dolby Pro Logic II Findicators will light, in

accordance with the requirements of Dolby

Laboratories.

NOTE: Many DVD discs are recorded with both

“5.1” and “2.0” versions of the same sound-

track. When playing a DVD, always be certain to

check the type of material on the disc. Most discs

show this information in the form of a listing or

icon on the back of the disc jacket. When a disc

does offer multiple soundtrack choices, you may

have to make some adjustments to your DVD

player (usually with the “Audio Select” button or 2. Although the DCR600II will decode virtually all

in a menu screen on the disc) to send a full 5.1

feed to the DCR600II. It is also possible for the

type of signal feed to change during the course

of a DVD playback. In some cases, the previews

of special material will only be recorded in 2.0

audio, while the main feature is available in 5.1

audio. As long as your DVD player is set for 6-

channel output, the DCR600II will automatically

sense changes to the bitstream and channel

count and reflect them in these indicators.

DVD movies, CDs and HDTV sources, it is possible

that some future digital sources may not be com-

patible with the DCR600II

contain full 5.1-channel audio. Consult the pro-

gram guide that accompanies the DVD to deter-

it is up to the producer of a DVD disc to decide

which of those features and functions are avail-

able on any given disc. For that reason, not all

discs will function identically, and some discs

will not have many of the features of the DVD

system. For example, most current DVD discs do

not take advantage of the multiple-angle fea-

ture. When the player displays the “Feature

Prohibited” icon “ɂ”, this indicates that the disc

has not been programmed for that feature.

Subtitles: The number and abbreviation show

the subtitle language that is currently playing.

Consult the DVD jacket for the key to available

subtitle languages on the disc. A pound sign (#)

displayed next to the language selection indi-

cates that subtitles are active.

Titles may also be selected during the playback

of a DVD by pressing the Title Button x.

However, the action of the disc when pressing

this button will vary from disc to disc. On occa-

sion, pressing this button will take you to the

disc’s main menu while, in other cases, pressing

this button will result in no action at all.

Angles: The number shown indicates the

multiple-angle view that is currently playing.

The movies or programs on most discs are divided

into individual chapters, as selected by the

disc’s producer. Using the on-screen Menu Bar,

you may view the number of the current chapter

and move to any chapter on the disc.

Bookmarks: Highlight this area and press the

Enter Button

to mark or go to previously

bookmarked locations on a disc.

In addition, it is common for the producers of

DVD discs to block the use of certain functions

during only some parts of a disc. For example,

many discs prohibit the use of fast-play buttons

or prohibit access to the Chapter Menu display

during the playback of copyright notices, studio

logos, movie credits or trailers. The appearance

of the “Feature Prohibited” icon “ɂ”, or the

inability of certain features to operate when the

disc itself has prohibited them, does not indi-

cate a problem with the DVD600II, as these fea-

tures are outside of the unit’s control.

Disc Type: The type of disc playing (DVD or CD)

is shown.

To change the chapter using the Menu Status

Bar, follow these steps:

Changing Camera Angles

A special feature of the DVD format is its capa-

bility of showing more than one view, or camera

angle, of the same scene. This feature enables

you to become the director, selecting the view

of a scene that you wish. Note, however, that

this feature does not appear on many discs and,

when it does appear, it will typically be for only

certain scenes and not for the entire disc’s pro-

gram. If you attempt to use the multiple-angle

feature on a disc that is not programmed for it,

you may see the “Prohibited Feature” icon “ɂ”

on the screen. This is not a fault of the player; it

simply indicates that the feature is not available

on the disc being played.

To see whether a disc contains multiple angles,

check the disc’s cover or jacket. When a disc

does contain scenes with multiple angles, the pro-

ducers will usually include some sort of special

for playback, follow these steps:

Note that most DVD movie discs use “Title 1”

for movies, while “Title 2” is used for the open-

ing logos and piracy warnings. Before selecting

a DVD title number, you may wish to preview

the disc while the on-screen Menu Bar is active

to see which title numbers refer to each portion

of the disc. This is particularly important in discs

with large amounts of special feature material.
