Introduction
We would like to thank you for purchasing one of our JVC products.
Before operating this unit, read this manual carefully and thoroughly to
obtain the best possible performance from your unit, and retain this manual
for future reference.
Power sources
• When unplugging the unit from the wall outlet, always pull on the
plug, not the AC power cord.
About This Manual
This manual is organized as follows:
• The manual mainly explains operations using the buttons on
the remote control. You can also use the buttons and controls
on the front panel if they have the same or similar names (or
marks) as those on the remote control.
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet hands.
If operation using the front panel is different from that using
the remote control, it is then explained.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in the following
cases:
• After starting heating in the room
• In a damp room
• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm place
Should condensation occur, the unit may malfunction. In this case,
leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates,
unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.
• Basic and common information that is the same for many
functions is grouped in one place, and is not repeated for each
procedure. For instance, we do not repeat the information about
turning on/off the front panel, setting the volume, changing the
sound effects, etc., which are explained in the section “Basic
Operations” on pages 14 to 17.
• The following symbols are used in this manual:
Gives you warning and caution to prevent damage or
risk of fire/electric shock.
Furthermore, it gives you information about what is
not good for obtaining the best possible performance
from the unit.
Internal heat
A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel to prevent heat buildup
inside the unit.
DO NOT block the cooling fan and the ventilation
openings or holes. If they are blocked by a
newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able
to get out.
Gives you information and hints you should know.
Precautions
Installation
Others
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit, unplug the
AC power cord and consult your dealer before operating any
further.
• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too
cold—between 5˚C and 35˚C.
• Install the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent
internal heat buildup in the unit.
• If you are not going to operate the unit for an extended period of
time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.
• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.
• Keep the speakers (except a center speaker) away from the TV to
avoid interference with TV.
DO NOT disassemble the unit since there are no
user serviceable parts inside.
DO NOT install the unit in a location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust or vibration.
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your
dealer.

Disc Information
Playable disc types
This unit has been designed to play back the following discs: DVD
VIDEO, DVD-R, DVD-RW, Video CD (VCD)*, Super Video CD
(SVCD)*, Audio CD*, CD-R, and CD-RW.
• User-edited CD-R (Recordable) and CD-RW (ReWritable) can be
played back only if they are already “finalized.”
• The unit can play back CD-R or CD-RW recorded on a personal
computer if they have been recorded in the CD format or in ISO
9660 format.
• Before playing back CD-R or CD-RW, read their instructions or
cautions carefully.
* This instruction refers to Video CD as “VCD,” Super Video CD as
“SVCD,” and audio CD as “CD.”
• CD-RW may require a longer readout time. It is caused by the fact
that the reflectance of CD-RW is lower than for regular CD.
• The unit can also play back CD-R or CD-RW if MP3 files or
JPEG files are recorded on them. However, they may not be
played back because of their disc characteristics, recording
conditions, or damage or stain on them. Especially, 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:

About copy protection
CD-R
This product incorporates copyright protection technology that
is protected by method claims of certain U.S. patents and other
intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision Corporation
and other rights owners. Use of this copyright protection
technology must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation,
and is intended for home and other limited viewing uses only
unless otherwise authorized by Macrovision Corporation.
Reverse engineering or disassembly is prohibited.
CD-RW
In addition to the above discs, this unit can play back audio data
recorded on CD Text and CD Extra.
• The following discs cannot be played back:
DVD AUDIO, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I
Ready), CD-G (CD Graphic), Photo CD, etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the
speakers.
• The Macrovision’s copy protection system is applied to this unit.
If you make a copy on your VCR from a disc that is recorded this
copy protection signal, the copy cannot be played back normally.
• This unit can also play back MP3 and JPEG (still picture) files
recorded on CD-R and CD-RW. For details about MP3 and JPEG
disc operations, see “MP3/JPEG Disc Playback” on pages 44 and
45.
IMPORTANT: Before playing a disc, make sure of the
following....
• Check the connection with the TV.
• Turn on the TV and select the correct input mode on the
TV to view the pictures or on-screen indications on the
TV screen.
• For disc playback, you can change the initial setting to
your preference. (See pages 59 to 66.)
• On some DVD VIDEO, SVCD or VCD, their actual operations
may be different from what is explained in this manual. This is
due to the disc programming and disc structure, but not a
malfunction of this unit.
• You can play back DVD-R or DVD-RW recorded with the DVD
VIDEO format, but some may not be played back because of the
disc characteristics or recording conditions.
If “ ” appears on the TV screen when you press a button,
the disc cannot accept the operation you have tried to do, or
data required for that operation is not recorded on the disc.
About Region Code
DVD players and DVD VIDEO have their own Region Code
numbers. This unit can play back only DVD VIDEO recorded with
the color system of NTSC/PAL whose Region Code number is the
same as printed on the rear panel.
NOTICE: In some cases, without showing “ ,” operations
will not be accepted.
For Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, etc.

Playing Back Discs (continued)
Disc structure
Playback Control function (PBC)—SVCD and VCD only
DVD VIDEO consists of “titles,” and each title may be divided into
some “chapters.”
The Playback Control function enables menu-driven operation.
Menu-driven playback
For example, if a DVD VIDEO contains some movies, each
movie may have its own title number and it may be further
divided into some chapters. In a DVD VIDEO Karaoke, each
song may have its own title number, but it may not be further
divided into chapters.
A selection menu is displayed when you start playing a SVCD and
VCD with the Playback Control feature. The selection menu shows
a list of numbers for selection. 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.
See the example illustration below about basic feature of menu-
driven playback (for details about the operation through the menu,
see also page 32).
SVCD, VCD, and CD consist of “tracks.”
In general, each track has its own track number. (On some
discs, each track may also be divided by indexes. This unit is
not compatible with Index function.)
On an MP3 disc, each song is recorded as a file. Files are
usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also include other
folders, creating hierarchical folder layers.
This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc and
manages files and folders by “tracks” and “groups.”
There are following limitations about the numbers of files and of
groups this unit can recognize.

Glossary
Aspect ratio
MPEG Multichannel
The ratio of vertical and horizontal sizes of a displayed image.
The horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3 and
that of wide-screen TVs is 16:9.
Digital audio compression format used for PAL/SECAM DVD
software. (MPEG stands for “Moving Picture Experts Group” and
has been originally developed for compressing video signals.)
To reproduce these original surround signals, you need to connect
an amplifier or a decoder compatible with MPEG Multichannel.
Component video signal
A video signal system where elements necessary for reproducing
image signal comprised of the three primary colors of light are
transmitted via separate signal lines. Types of signal, such as R/G/
B, Y/PB/PR, etc., are available.
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.
Composite video signal
A 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.
Multi-angle
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.
Dolby Digital
Multi-channel
This is a digital audio compression technology that was developed
by Dolby Laboratories. Dolby Digital encoding method (so-called
discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format) records and compresses
the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left rear
channel, right rear channel, and LFE channel (total 6 channels, but
LFE channel is counted as 0.1 channel, therefore called 5.1
channels) signals digitally. Each channel is completely
independent from other channel signals to avoid interference,
therefore, you can obtain much better sound quality with stereo
and surround effects.
DVD VIDEO has been designed to have each soundtrack
constitute one sound field. Multi-channel refers to a structure of
sound tracks having three or more channels.
Multi-language
When a title is created to cope with multiple languages, it is
generally called a multilanguage title.
Playback control (PBC)
Refers to the signal recorded on SVCD/VCD for controlling
reproduction. By using menu screens recorded on SVCD/VCD
that supports PBC, you can enjoy interactive-type software as well
as software having a search function.
Dolby Pro Logic
Dolby Surround encoding format records the left front channel,
right front channel, center channel, and surround channel
(monaural) signals into 2 channels. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder
built in this unit decodes these 2 channel signals into 4 original
channel signals—matrix-based multi-channel reproduction.
Progressive scanning
By progressive scanning, all the horizontal lines of a picture are
displayed at one time as a single frame on a TV compatible with
NTSC color system. This system can convert the interlaced video
from DVD VIDEO into progressive format for a progressive TV.
It dramatically increases the vertical resolution.
DTS Digital Surround
Another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format, available on
CD, LD, and DVD software, developed by Digital Theater
Systems, Inc.
Compared to Dolby Digital, audio compression rate is relatively
low. This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format to add breadth
and depth to the reproduced sounds. As a result, DTS Digital
Surround features natural, solid and clear sound.
Region code
A system for allowing discs to be played only in the regions
designated beforehand. All the countries in the world are divided
into six regions and each region is identified by a specified region
code (or region number). If the region code of a disc matches to
that of a player, the player can play back the disc.
Interlaced scanning
Sampling frequency
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.
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.
Transfer rate
JPEG
The rate of transferring digital data. Usually the measure is in bit
per second (bps). The DVD system applies a variable transfer rate
system for high efficiency.
A still-picture data compression system proposed by the Joint
Photographic Expert Group, which features little distortion in
image quality in spite of its high compression ratio.
Letter box
A method of displaying wide images like movies in 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.
