Before making connections

• Do not connect the AC power cord until all other

connections have been made.

Preparations

• 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.

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 33 for details.

Connections

• 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.

Before using the player, connect the player to a TV and/or

amplifier.

Connecting to a TV

The following sections A to C describe TV connections where

only a TV is connected to the player so that you will hear audio

from the TV.

NOTE

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.

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.

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-per-

second information, while (NTSC) video sources are recorded

as 30-frame-per-second (60-field-per-second interlaced)

information.

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).

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.

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.

• The Progressive scanning mode works for the NTSC color

system format only.

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.

Activating the Progressive scanning mode using the remote

control unit

When the player is turned on and the VIDEO SIGNAL

SELECTOR is set to “NTSC 525i/p REMOTE,” press and hold

down VFP - PROGRESSIVE SCAN for a few seconds.

The scanning mode switches between the Progressive scanning

and Interlaced scanning modes.

• 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.

When the scanning mode is set to the Progressive mode, the [P]

indicator lights up in the display window.

Depending on the [PICTURE SOURCE] preference display and

whether the current DVD VIDEO disc is film-source or video-

source, the indicator that lights up in the display window differs,

as shown in the table below.

NOTES

You can enjoy sound of enhanced quality by connecting the

amplifier, etc., using a 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.

• It is not recommended to use the digital jacks for dubbing.

When recording the sounds (DVD VIDEO, SVCD, Video CD or

Audio CD) played back on the player, record them through the

analog jacks.

• 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 30).

Changing the resume mode

The player has three resume modes; ON, OFF and DISC

RESUME.

• You can select the mode using the preference display (see

page 30).

When the resume mode is “OFF”

Playback always starts from the beginning.

When the resume mode is “DISC RESUME”

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.

The memory of the interrupted positions are not cleared even if

you open the disc tray or turn off the player.

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.

3 (SELECT)

• 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.

To stop playback completely

Press 7.

If you press 0 during playback, the player stops playback and

display window.

You can change the setting so that the on-screen guide icons

do not appear on the TV screen (see page 30).

Appendix D: Glossary

525i/525p/625i

JPEG

Indicates the number of scanning lines and scanning format of an

image signal. 525i indicates 525 scanning lines with interlace

format, 525p indicates 525 scanning lines with progressive

format, and 625i indicates 625 scanning lines with interlace

format.

A popular file format for still image compression and storage.

JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group.

There are three sub-types of the JPEG format as follows.

• baseline JPEG: used for digital cameras, the web, etc.

• progressive JPEG: used for the web

• lossless JPEG: an old type, rarely used now

ASF

ASF is an abbreviation of “Advanced Streaming Format,” and is a

data compression format for streaming developed by Microsoft

Corporation. ASF can contain the various data types such as

audio, video, and text.

Linear PCM audio

PCM stands for “pulse code modulation.” Linear PCM is the usual

method for digitally encoding audio without compression, and is

used for the audio tracks on DVD VIDEO discs, Audio CDs, etc.

Aspect ratio

MP3

A ratio which defines the shape of the rectangular picture in a TV.

It is the width of the picture relative to the height. A conventional

TV picture is 4:3 in aspect ratio.

MP3 is an audio data compression format, which stands for

MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Using MP3, you can achieve a data

reduction of about 1:10.

Bitstream

MPEG-4

The digital form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1-channel)

MPEG-4 is an audio/video data compression format, which is

before it is decoded into its various channels.

highly efficient and more stable than MPEG-1 and MPEG-2.

Chapter/title

MPEG Multichannel

Chapter is the smallest division and title is the largest division on

DVD VIDEO. A chapter is a division of a title and similar to a track

for Video CD or Audio CD.

This feature expands the 5.1 channel audio format recorded on

the disc to a 7.1 channel format. The further expansion of the 5.1

channel audio makes it easy for you to reproduce the movie

theater experience in your own home.

Component video

Video signals with three channels of separate information that

makes up the picture. There are some types of component video,

such as R/G/B and Y/C^B(PB)/CR(PR).

NTSC (National television system committee)

A black and white and color television system format used in the

U.S.A., Canada, Mexico and Japan.

Composite video

PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)

A color television system format used extensively in Western

Europe.

A single video signal commonly used in most consumer video

products that contains all luminance, color, and synchronization

information.

PBC

Dolby Digital (AC3)

PBC stands for “Playback control” and is a method of controlling

disc play for Video CDs (VCD). You are able to interact with the

disc through menus.

A six-channel system consisting of left, center, right, left rear,

right rear and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect channel, for use with a

sub-woofer) channels. All processing is done in the digital

domain. Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channels of

information.

Progressive scanning

Progressive scanning displays all the horizontal lines of a picture

at one time, as a single frame. A progressive scanning DVD

player converts the interlaced (525i) video from DVD into

progressive (525p) format for connection to a progressive display.

It dramatically increases the vertical resolution.

Dolby Surround/Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Surround records four channels of front and rear audio in

two channels in a way that allows a decoder to recover the

original four channels for playback. Because the audio is

recorded in two channels, it can be played back naturally by a

two-channel stereo system.

Dolby Pro Logic introduces directional circuits in decoder-side

processing (increasing the level of specific channels and lowering

the level of silent channels) for greater spatial perspective, and

adds a center speaker used primarily for dialog. The result is

enhanced channel separation.

S-video

A video signal which improves picture quality over standard

composite connections. Used on Super VHS, DVD, high end TV

monitors, etc.

Track

The smallest division on SVCD, Video CD and Audio CD discs.

Down-mix

Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a DVD

player. The down-mix signals are output from stereo output

connectors.

DTS

A Digital Surround audio encoding format configured with six

(5.1) channels, similar to Dolby Digital. It requires a decoder,

either in the player or in an external receiver. DTS stands for

Digital Theater Systems.

Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.

Dynamic range

The difference between the loudest and softest sounds.

Interlaced scanning

In a conventional video system, a picture is shown on the display

monitor in between lines of two halves. The Interlaced scanning

system places lines of the second half of the picture in-between

lines of the first half of the picture.
