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.  
• 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.  
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.  
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.

Preparations  
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 unit 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 unit.  
• 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 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.  
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.

and Interlaced scanning modes.  
• 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.  
When the scanning mode is set to the Progressive mode, the  
PROGRESSIVE indicator on the front panel turns on.

NOTES  
You can enjoy sound of enhanced quality by connecting the unit’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 unit. 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.  
• Connect the unit and the digital audio device by using either an  
optical digital cable or a coaxial digital cable.  
• 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 unit, 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 33).

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 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.

About MP3/WMA discs  
On an MP3/WMA disc, each song is recorded as a file (track).  
Files are sometimes grouped into folders by artists, album, etc.  
• Each file is regarded as a track.  
• A folder which has one or more files is regarded as a group.  
• A folder which does not directly contain any tracks is ignored.  
• Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into “group  
1.”  
• The unit recognizes up to 150 tracks per group, and up to 99  
groups per disc. If there are files other than MP3/WMA files,  
they also count in the 150-file total.  
Selecting the desired group and track  
When inserting an MP3/WMA disc, after the disc contents are  
read, the MP3/WMA CONTROL display automatically appears on

Additional information  
Appendix D: Glossary  
525i/525p  
JPEG  
Indicates the number of scanning lines and scanning format of an  
image signal. 525i indicates 525 scanning lines with interlace  
format, and 525p indicates 525 scanning lines with progressive  
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  
Aspect ratio  
• lossless JPEG: an old type, rarely used now  
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.  
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.  
Bitstream  
The digital form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1-channel)  
before it is decoded into its various channels.  
MP3  
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.  
Chapter/title  
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.  
MPEG  
A family of Standards for compressing audio-visual information.  
“MPEG” standards include MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4.  
Video CD and MP3 are based on MPEG-1, while DVD is based  
on MPEG-2. MPEG stands for Moving Picture coding Experts  
Group.  
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/CB(PB)/CR(PR).  
Composite video  
MPEG Multichannel  
A single video signal commonly used in most consumer video  
products that contains all luminance, color, and synchronization  
information.  
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.  
Dolby Digital (AC3)  
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.  
NTSC (National television system committee)  
A black and white and color TV system format used in the U.S.A.,  
Canada, Mexico and Japan.  
PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)  
A color TV system format used extensively in Western Europe.  
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.  
PBC  
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.  
Progressive scanning  
Progressive scanning displays all the horizontal lines of a picture  
at one time, as a single frame. A progressive scanning DVD unit  
converts the interlaced (525i) video from DVD into progressive  
(525p) format for connection to a progressive display. It  
dramatically increases the vertical resolution.  
Down-mix  
S-video  
Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a DVD unit.  
A video signal which improves picture quality over standard  
composite connections. Used on Super VHS, DVD, high end TV  
monitors, etc.  
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 unit or in an external receiver. DTS stands for Digital  
Theater Systems.  
Track  
The smallest division on SVCD, Video CD and Audio CD discs.  
WMA  
Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.  
WMA is an abbreviation of “Windows Media Audio,” and is an  
audio data compression format developed by Microsoft  
Corporation. Sound quality of data compressed using WMA is  
the same as that of MP3, though the WMA file size is smaller  
than that of MP3.  
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.
