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.  
• 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.  
Connections  
Before using the player, connect the player to a TV and/or  
amplifier.  
Connecting to a TV  
The following sections A to D describe TV connections where  
only a TV is connected to the player so that you will hear audio  
from the TV.  
NOTE  
When you connect a SCART cable, do not connect any other  
cables to other video signal output jacks (VIDEO/S-VIDEO/  
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT). If you do so, you will not be able to  
obtain correct signals from the SCART connector of the player.

D 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.  
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  
• Be sure to connect the red and white plugs of the audio cable to  
the FRONT RIGHT/LEFT jacks on the rear of the player, as  
shown in the illustration.  
• Connect “Y” to “Y,” “PB” to “PB” (CB), “PR” to “PR” (CR) correctly.  
• Do not connect cables to S-VIDEO jack and SCART connector.  
If you do so, you will not be able to obtain correct signals from  
the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks.  
• Set [ANALOG OUT] in the [AUDIO] preference display to [2-CH  
STEREO] (see page 35).  
• 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).  
Hint  
Depending on the source material 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).  
When the player plays back a film source material, Progressive  
(uninterlaced) 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.

Activating the Progressive scanning mode using the remote  
control unit  
When the player is turned on, 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 [P]  
indicator lights up in the display window.  
[DD] also turns on when Progressive scanned signals on a DVD  
VIDEO disc are directly output as they are from the player.  
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  
• 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.  
• All JVC progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets are fully  
compatible with the player (Example: AV-61S902).

Connecting to a digital audio device  
NOTES  
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.  
• Connect the player 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 AUDIO, DVD VIDEO, SVCD,  
Video CD or Audio CD) played back on the player, record them  
through the analog jacks (in this case, set [ANALOG OUT] in  
the [AUDIO] preference display to [2-CH STEREO])(see page  
35).  
• 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 35).

To play back from the beginning  
After inserting the disc, press 7before pressing 3to 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.  
Restarting playback after stopping  
(Resuming playback)  
• For a double-sided DVD AUDIO/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.  
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 36).  
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 display window shows [– – – – RESUME] (for DVD AUDIO/  
DVD VIDEO discs) or [– – RESUME] (for SVCD/Video CD discs).  
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

Precautions  
About files and folders (groups) on the disc  
• Files are sometimes grouped into folders by artists, album, etc.  
In this manual, “group” is also referred to as “folder.”  
• A folder which has one or more files is regarded as a group.  
• The player can detect and play back the groups which are  
located up to the fifth layer.  
• The files in the Control display are arranged by the alphabetical  
order of extensions as follows: “.jpeg,” “.mp3” and “.wma.”  
• Time required for reading the disc contents may vary for  
different discs, depending on the numbers of folders (groups)  
and files recorded, etc.  
• For JPEG files:  
- It is recommended that you record your material at a 640 x  
480 pixel resolution.  
- The player does not support pictures of more than 2400 pixels  
in horizontal resolution. Make sure that the horizontal  
resolution of the picture is 2400 pixels or less.  
- This player supports the baseline JPEG.  
• Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into “group  
1.”

Appendix D: Glossary  
Aspect ratio  
Linear PCM audio  
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.  
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.  
MLP  
Bit rate  
MLP stands for “Meridian Lossless Packing.” A lossless audio  
compression system that can completely recreate the PCM  
signal.  
Shows the number of digital information needed to play back  
sound for 1 second. The bit rate is expressed in bits per second.  
Bitstream  
MP3  
The digital form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1-channel)  
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.  
before it is decoded into its various channels.  
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 Multichannel  
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/CB(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  
A single video signal commonly used in most consumer video  
products that contains all luminance, color, and synchronization  
information.  
PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)  
A color television system format used extensively in Western  
Europe.  
Dolby Digital (AC3)  
PBC  
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.  
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 (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.  
RGB  
An abbreviation for Red, Green and Blue. Color monitors and  
color television sets display different hues by mixing these three  
colors.  
Sampling frequency  
The rate at which measurements of an audio signal are taken  
during A/D and D/A conversion. The sampling frequency is  
expressed in samples per second.  
Down-mix  
Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a DVD unit.  
The down-mix signals are output from stereo output connectors.  
S-video  
A video signal which improves picture quality over standard  
composite connections. Used on Super VHS, DVD, high end TV  
monitors, etc.  
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.  
Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.  
VR mode  
Dynamic range  
A recording mode which is applied when video signals are  
recorded onto a DVD-RW or DVD-RAM disc. This mode allows to  
edit recording; for example, the VR mode enables a programmed  
recording and a manual recording in which recording time can be  
adjusted.  
The difference between the loudest and softest sounds.  
Group  
The largest division on DVD AUDIO.  
Interlaced scanning  
WMA  
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.  
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.  
JPEG  
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
