About discs
• On some DVD,VCD, or SVCD discs, the actual
operations may be different from what is explained in
this manual.This is due to the disc programming and
disc structure, and this is not a malfunction of this
system.
Playable disc types
This system has been designed to play back the following
types of discs:
DVD Video (DVD), Video CD (VCD), Super Video CD
(SVCD), Audio CD, CD-R, and CD-RW
• Notes on CD-R and CD-RW
–User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs
(Rewritable) can be played back only if they are already
“finalized.”
–The system can play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded on
a personal computer if they have been recorded in the
Audio CD format.
The system can also play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs if MP3
tracks (files) or JPEG files are recorded on them.
Note that the configuration and characteristics of an MP3
disc or a JPEG disc is determined by the writing
(encoding) software and hardware used for recording.
Therefore, due to the software and hardware used, the
following symptoms may occur:
• This system can also play back MP3 and JPEG files
recorded on CD-Rs and CD-RWs. For in-depth information
about MP3, see “MP3 disc playback” on page 46, and for
JPEG, see “JPEG disc playback” on page 48.
• Finalized DVD-R discs recorded with the DVD VIDEO
format can be played back. However, some discs may not
be played back because of the disc characteristics or
recording conditions.
Discs you can play:
Disc
Type
Mark
(Logo)
Video
Format
Region Code
Number*
• Some discs may not be played back at all.
• Some tracks (files) on an MP3 disc are skipped and
may not be played back normally.
• Some files on a JPEG disc may be distorted during
playback.
–Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their
instructions or cautions carefully.
–CD-RWs may require a longer read-out time. This is
caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is
lower than for regular CDs.

7 About MP3 discs
Super Video CD
(SVCD)
This system can play MP3 files recorded on a CD-R or
CD-RW. We call such a disc “MP3 disc” in this manual.
MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or
MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a
data compression. By using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-
RW can contain 10 times as much data volume as a regular
CD can.
COMPACT
Audio CD
CD-R
——
——
——
——
DIGITAL AUDIO
This system simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc
and calls files and folders as “tracks” and “groups.”
7 About JPEG discs
CD-RW
——
——
This system can play JPEG files such as digital photographs
recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW. We call such a disc “JPEG
disc” in this manual.
JPEG is a still-picture data compression system proposed by
Joint Photographic Expert Group, which features small
decrease in image quality in spite of its high compression
ratio.
This system simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc
and calls folders as “groups.”
* Note on Region Code
DVD players and DVDs have their own Region Code
numbers. This system can play back only DVDs recorded
with the color system of NTSC or PAL whose Region Code
numbers include “4.”
Ex.:
3
5
2
4
4
4 5
If a DVD with the improper Region Code numbers is
loaded, “REGION CODE ERROR” appears on the display
and playback cannot start.
• The following disc types cannot be played back:
DVD Audio, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD+RW,
CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage
the speakers.

About discs
Disc structure
A DVD disc consists of “titles,” and each title may be divided
into some “chapters.”
For example, if a DVD disc contains some movies, each
movie may have its own title number, and it may be further
divided into chapters.
Playback Control function (PBC)
—Only for VCD and SVCD
The Playback Control function allows you to enjoy menu-
driven operation and high-resolution still images with a
resolution four times greater than moving pictures.
• High-resolution still image display
You can display high-quality images which are four times
clearer than moving pictures.
Title 1
Title 2
Chapter 2
Chapter 1
Chapter 3
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
• Menu-driven playback
A selection menu is displayed when you start playing a
VCD or SVCD disc with the Playback Control function. The
selection menu shows a list of numbers to pick from. Some
discs may show moving pictures or a divided screen.
You can interact with the screen using a menu display to
select and play an entry.
A VCD, SVCD, and Audio CD consist of “tracks.”
In general, each track has its own track number. (On some
discs, each track may also be divided with Indexes.)
The illustration below shows the basic features of menu
driven playback. See page 35 for details about using the
menu.
Track 1
Track 4
Track 5
Track 2
Track 3
On an MP3 disc, each song is recorded as a track (file).
Tracks are usually grouped into a group (folder). Groups can
also include other groups, creating hierarchical group layers.
This system can recognize up to 150 tracks per group, and up to
99 groups per disc (up to 14,850 tracks).
• If there is any type of files other than MP3 files in a folder,
those files are also counted in the total number of 150.
Group 1
Track 1 Track 2
Group 2
Group 3
Group 4
Group 5
NOTE:
While operating a VCD or SVCD using the menu, some of the
functions, such as repeat play, may not work.
On a JPEG disc, each still picture is recorded as a file. Files
are usually grouped into a group (folder). Groups can also
include another groups, creating hierarchical folder layers.
This system can recognize up to 150 files per group, and up to 99
groups per disc (up to 14,850 files).
IMPORTANT:
• If there is any type of files other than JPEG files in a folder, those
files are also counted in the total number of 150.
Before playing a disc, make sure of the following....
• Check the connection with the TV.
Group 2
Group 4
Group 1
File 1 File 2
• Turn on the TV and select the correct input mode on the TV
to view the pictures or on-screen information on the TV
screen.
Group 3
Group 5
If
appears on the TV screen when pressing a
button, the disc cannot accept an operation you have
tried to do, or information required for that operation is
not recorded on the disc.
NOTICE: In some cases, without showing
,
operations will not be accepted.

Getting started
Connections
• Do not connect the AC power cord until all other connections have been made.
• Since different components often have different terminal names, carefully read the instructions supplied with the component
you are going to connect.
Connecting a TV
To view pictures and on-screen displays, connect a TV to the center unit.
• Distortion of picture may occur when connecting to a TV through a VCR, or to a TV with a built-in VCR.
• You need to set “MONITOR TYPE” on the PICTURE menu correctly according to the aspect ratio of your TV. See page 53.
7 Selecting the color system
This system is compatible with the PAL and NTSC systems. Set the VIDEO OUT SELECT switch on
the rear panel in standby mode to match the color system of your TV. Also make sure that the color
NTSC
PAL
system of a DVD, VCD, or SVCD disc labeled on the package matches your TV.
• If you use a multi-system TV, by setting “MONITOR TYPE” on the PICTURE menu to an appropriate
“MULTI” option, the system outputs a video signal by the same format recorded on the disc (i.e. if you
play an NTSC disc, the system outputs a signal by the NTSC format) regardless of the VIDEO OUT
SELECT switch setting. See page 53.

When placing the speakers, to obtain the best possible sound, you need to place all satellite speakers at the same distance
from the listening position with the front of each speaker faced toward the listener.
When you cannot place them at the same distance from the listening position, you can make adjustment as if those
speakers are placed at the best position. See pages 25 and 55.
• Place the subwoofer on the front right side of the television. If you place the subwoofer on the left side of the television, the
screen color on the television may be distorted.
NOTES:
• Although the satellite speakers and the subwoofer are magnetically shielded, the TV screen may be affected. In this case, place the speakers
at least 10 cm away from the TV.
• For safety reasons, always ensure sufficient space behind the subwoofer.
• When you place the satellite speakers on a relatively high position, such as on the top of your bookshelf, place them on a flat and level
surface.

NOTES:
• When “PAL” is selected on the VIDEO OUT SELECT switch (see
page 7), the scanning mode is fixed to “INTERLACE.” So the
scanning mode cannot be changed.
• There are some progressive TVs and High-Definition TVs that are
not fully compatible with this system, resulting in the unnatural
picture when playing back a DVD in the progressive scanning
mode. In such a case, change the scanning mode to “INTERLACE.”
To check the compatibility of your TV, contact your local JVC
customer service center.
• All JVC progressive TVs and High-Definition TVs are fully
compatible with this system.
NOTE:
For the items marked “*,” you can assign a different setting for each
source including FM and AM.
* 525p and 525i indicate the number of scanning lines and
scanning format of an image signal.
• 525p indicates 525 scanning lines with progressive
format.
• 525i indicates 525 scanning lines with interlaced format.
Changing the scanning mode
This system supports the progressive scanning system
(525p*) as wel as the conventional interlaced scanning
system (525i*).
If your TV equipped with component jacks supports the
progressive video input, you can enjoy a high quality picture
by making the progressive scanning mode active.
• Refer also to the instruction manuals supplied with your TV.
• If your TV equipped with component jacks does not
support the progressive video input, do not change the
scanning mode to the progressive scanning mode.
About scanning system
To display video on the TV screen, the conventional
scanning method is called “Interlaced scanning.”
With this method, only half of the horizontal lines are
displayed at a time. So two fields complete a single
picture (frame);
i.e., the first field, containing all the odd-numbered lines, is
displayed followed by the second field, containing all the
even-numbered lines.
On the other hand, the Progressive scanning system
scans all horizontal lines at a time, so you can double the
number of scanning lines displayed at a time, resulting in
a flicker-free, high-density picture.
From the remote control ONLY:
To enjoy the progressive scanned video, a monitor (or TV
or projector) to be connected to the unit must have the

the software encoded with Dolby Digital EX (
).
Dolby Digital EX is a newly introduced surround encoding
format as an extension of multi-channel Dolby Digital,
designed to add an extra surround channel to Dolby Digital
5.1-channel (see below). By using a matrix encoding/
decoding method, additional “surround back” channel signal
is encoded (and decoded) in both the left and right surround
channel signals.
With these many speakers, sound localization and sound
movement can be expressed.
Surround modes built in this system can create almost the
same surround sounds as you can feel in a real movie
theater.
Movie Theater
Compared to the conventional Dolby Digital 5.1-channel, this
newly added surround back channel can reproduce more
detailed movements behind you while viewing the video
software. In addition, surround sound localization will become
more stable, so that you can enjoy a realistic surround field in
your listening room.
• When Dolby Digital EX is activated, the
DIGITAL EX and
SURROUND indicators light up on the display.

Dolby Digital 5.1-channel encoding method (so-called
discrete 5.1-channel digital audio format) records and
digitally compresses the left front channel, right front channel,
center channel, left surround channel, right surround
channel, and LFE channel signals (total 6 channels, but LFE
channel is counted as 0.1 channel, therefore, called 5.1-
channel).
Since each channel is completely independent from the other
channel signals to avoid interference, you can obtain a much
better sound quality with better stereo and surround effects.
At Home
• When Dolby Digital is activated, the
DIGITAL and
SURROUND indicators light up on the display.
* Dolby Digital software can be roughly grouped into two
categories—multi-channel (up to 5.1-channel) and 2-channel
software. To enjoy surround sound while playing Dolby
Digital 2-channel software, you can use Dolby Pro Logic II.

Dolby Pro Logic II*
DTS Surround
Dolby Pro Logic II has a newly developed multi-channel
playback format to convert all 2-channel source including
Dolby Surround into 5-channel (plus subwoofer)
reproduction.
Matrix-based conversion method for Dolby Pro Logic II
makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the surround
treble and enables stereo surround sound unavailable with
conventional Dolby Pro Logic.
Dolby Pro Logic II can reproduce spacious sound from
original sound without adding any new sounds and tonal
colorations.
Dolby Pro Logic II has two modes—Movie mode and Music
mode.
DTS-ES (Extended Surround)**
Used to reproduce multi-channel movie soundtracks of the
software encoded with DTS-ES (
).
DTS-ES is another new digital surround encoding format,
developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., that adds the
third surround channel—surround back channel. (See “Dolby
Digital EX” on page 27)
DTS ES has two types—DTS-ES Discrete 6.1-channel and
DTS-ES Matrix 6.1-channel.
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1-channel—has been designed to
encode (and decode) 6.1-channel signal discretely to avoid
interference between each channel.
DTS-ES Matrix 6.1-channel—has been designed to add an
extra surround channel to DTS Digital Surround 5.1-channel.
By using a matrix encoding/decoding method, additional
“surround back” channel signal is encoded (and decoded) in
both the left and right surround channel signals.
Pro Logic II Movie (PL II MOVIE)—suitable for the
reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded software bearing
DOLBY SURROUND
the mark (
). You can enjoy a sound field very
close to the one created with discrete 5.1-channel sounds.
Pro Logic II Music (PL II MUSIC)—suitable for the
reproduction of any 2-channel stereo software. You can
enjoy wide and deep sound by using this mode.
• When DTS-ES is activated, the
indicators light up on the display.
and SURROUND
• When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the

DTS Digital Surround**
Used to reproduce multi-channel soundtracks of the software
encoded with DTS Digital Surround ( ).
DTS Digital Surround is a discrete 5.1-channel digital audio
format available on CD, LD, and DVD software.
Compared to Dolby Digital, DTS Digital Surround format has
a lower audio compression ratio which enables it to add
breadth and depth to the sounds reproduced. As such, DTS
Digital Surround features natural, solid and clear sound.
Dolby Pro Logic (Dolby Surround)*
Used to reproduce soundtracks of the software encoded
DOLBY SURROUND
with Dolby Surround (
).
Dolby Surround encoding format records the left front
channel, right front channel, center channel, and surround
channel signal (total 4 channels) into 2 channels.
The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built in this system decodes
these 2-channel signal into original 4-channel signals—
matrix-based multi-channel reproduction, and allows you to
enjoy a realistic surround sound in your listening room.

All Channel Stereo
DSP modes
DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes
All Channel Stereo (ALL CH ST.) can reproduce a larger
stereo sound field using all the connected (and activated)
speakers.
The sound heard in a concert hall, club, etc. consists of
direct sound and indirect sound—early reflections and
reflections from behind. Direct sounds reach the listener
directly without any reflection. On the other hand, indirect
sounds are delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls
(see the diagram below). These direct and indirect sounds
are the most important elements of the acoustic surround
effects.
All Channel Stereo can be used when the front and surround
speakers are connected to the center unit.
• When All Channel Stereo is selected, the DSP indicator
lights up on the display.
The DAP mode can reproduce a realistic sound field by
adding these indirect sounds.
• When one of the DAP modes is selected, the DSP indicator
lights up on the display.

General Notes
Cleaning the system
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping
your discs, and the mechanism clean.
• Store discs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on
shelves.
• Stains on the system
Should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the unit is heavily
stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water-diluted neutral
detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.
• Since the system may deteriorate in quality, become
damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the
following.
Handling Discs
— DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth.
— DO NOT wipe it strong.
• Remove the disc from its case
by holding it at the edge while
pressing the center hole lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface
of the disc, or bend the disc.
• Put the disc back in its case
after use to prevent warping.
— DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.
— DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as
insecticides to it.
— DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact
with it for a long time.
• Be careful not to scratch the
surface of the disc when
placing it back in its case.
• Avoid exposure to direct
sunlight, temperature
extremes, and moisture.
To clean the disc
Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in
a straight line from center to
edge.
DO NOT use any solvent—such as conventional
record cleaner, spray, thinner, or benzine—to clean
the disc.

Composite video signal
Refers to video signal comprised of three kinds of signals
combined: an image signal made up of luminance and
chrominance signals using the frequency multiplication
technique; burst signal providing the basis for color
reproduction; and synchronization signal.
Progressive scanning
Progressive scanning displays all the horizontal lines of a
picture at one time, as a single frame. This system can
convert the interlaced video from DVD into progressive
format for connection to a progressive display. It dramatically
increases the vertical resolution.
Disc menu
A screen display prepared for allowing selection of images,
sounds, subtitles, multiangles, etc. recorded on a DVD.
Interlaced scanning
In the conventional video system, a picture is shown
on the display monitor in 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.
Region code
A system for allowing discs to be played back only in the
regions designated beforehand. All the countries in the world
are divided into six regions, each region being identified by a
specified region code (or region number). If the region code
given to a disc includes a numeral which matches one in the
region code of a player, the player can play back the disc.
JPEG
A still-picture data compression system proposed by the
Joint Photographic Expert Group, which features little
deterioration in image quality in spite of its high compression
ratio.
Sampling frequency
Frequency of sampling data when analog data is converted
to digital data. Sampling frequency numerically represents
how many times the original analog signal is sampled per
second.
Letter box
A method of displaying wide images like movies on a 4:3 TV
screen with no part of the image deleted, by placing black
bands on the top and bottom of the screen. This name has
derived from the screen form looking literally like a letter box.
Surround
A system for creating three-dimensional sound fields full of
realism by arranging multiple speakers around the listener.
Linear PCM (PCM: Pulse Code Modulation)
A system for converting analog sound signal to digital signal
for later processing, with no data compression used in
conversion.
S-video signal
Video signal separated into a Y (luminance) signal and a C
(chrominance) signal. This separation of the video results
higher resolution and better quality.
MP3
A file format with a sound data compression system. “MP3” is
the abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1
(or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. By using MP3 format, one CD-R
or CD-RW can contain about 10 times as much data volume
as a regular CD can.
Titles and chapters
A DVD is divided into several titles (large divisions), and each
title is divided into chapters (small divisions).
These divisions are assigned their particular numbers, so that
they are easily accessed.
Multi-angle
Transfer rate
By recording multiple scenes progressing at the same time in
a single title, the user can select view angles. This feature is
called the multi angle function.
The rate of transferring digital data. Usually the measure is in
baud per second. The DVD system applies a variable
transfer rate system for high efficiency.
Multi-channel
Software having 3 or more channels. Most DVD have more
than 5 audio channels. Reproducing such software using
multiple speakers creates a realistic sound field like a theater.
