Connections  
Before using the player, connect the player to a TV and/or  
amplifier.  
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.  
Before making connections  
• Do not connect the AC power cord until all other  
connections have been made.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
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.

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 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.

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

SELECTOR is set to “REMOTE,press and hold down VFP -

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

slightly earlier or later than the point where playback was  
interrupted.

Additional information  
Appendix D: Glossary  
480i/480p  
JPEG  
Indicates the number of scanning lines and scanning format of an  
image signal. 480i indicates 480 scanning lines with interlace  
format, and 480p indicates 480 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.  
NTSC (National television system committee)  
A black and white and color television system format used in the  
U.S.A., Canada, Mexico and Japan.  
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).  
PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)  
A color television system format used extensively in Western  
Europe.  
Composite video  
A single video signal commonly used in most consumer video  
products that contains all luminance, color, and synchronization  
information.  
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.  
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.  
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 (480i) video from DVD into  
progressive (480p) 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.  
WMA  
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.  
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.
