VCD discs.  
As portable USB devices increase in popularity, JBL’s CS3/CS5 is  
among the first integrated home theater systems that allow mobile  
interconnectivity by playing compatible music or image files from  
portable devices via two USB On-the-Go inputs.  
Use the CS3/CS5 receiver only with the loudspeaker system sup-  
plied. Failure to do so may cause damage to either the receiver or  
the loudspeakers and will invalidate any warranty.  
A wide range of programming features makes it easy to program  
an evening’s worth of entertainment. When playing DVDs, easy-to-  
understand on-screen menus and icons make it simple to change  
languages, soundtracks, subtitles or aspect ratio, while a parental-  
lock function enables you to control which discs may be viewed by  
younger members of the household.  
All of the optional system settings have been preset at our factory  
for correct operation of the system. All you have to do is insert a  
disc, sit back, and enjoy a great home theater experience.  
You may want to change some of the optional settings. A descrip-  
tion of all the optional settings and instructions for changing them  
are found in the second half of the manual.  
DVD players are among the fastest growing consumer electronics  
products ever brought to market, but this may, nevertheless, be the  
first DVD player you’ve owned. Although many of the features of  
the DVD resemble those of standard CD players, there are a num-  
ber of functions with which you may be unfamiliar. To ensure that  
you are able to take advantage of all the power and flexibility the  
DVD has to offer, we encourage you to review this quick setup  
manual. That small investment of your time will pay major dividends  
in the enjoyment you will get from proper use of your DVD receiver.  
NOTE: This player is designed and manufactured for compatibility with Region Management Information that is encoded on  
most DVD discs. This player is designed only for playback of discs with Region Code 2, or for discs that do not contain  
Region Code information. If there is any other Region Code on a disc, that disc will not play on the DVD.

SAFETY INFORMATION  
This system was designed to provide you with many years of  
reliable operation with a minimum of care and maintenance. Every  
component in your system was in perfect working condition when it  
left our factory. If you experience any problems with the set-up or  
operation of this system, please review the Troubleshooting guide  
at the end of this manual before you contact your authorized  
JBL dealer.  
Cleaning  
When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft, dry cloth. If  
necessary, wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy  
water, then a fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe dry immediately  
with a dry cloth. NEVER use benzene, aerosol cleaners, thinner,  
alcohol or any other volatile cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive  
cleaners, as they may damage the finish of metal parts. Avoid  
spraying insecticide near the unit.  
Important Safety Information  
Moving the Unit  
Verify Line Voltage Before Use  
Before moving the unit, be certain to disconnect any interconnec-  
tion cords with other components, and make certain that you dis-  
connect the unit from the AC outlet.  
Your CS3/CS5 has been designed for use with 220–240-volt AC  
current. Connection to a line voltage other than that for which it is  
intended can create a safety and fire hazard, and may damage the  
unit.  
Unpacking  
The carton and shipping materials used to protect your new receiv-  
er during shipment were specially designed to cushion it from  
shock and vibration. We suggest that you save the carton and  
packing materials for use in shipping if you move, or should the unit  
ever need repair.  
If you have any questions about the voltage requirements for your  
specific model, or about the line voltage in your area, contact your  
dealer before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.  
Do Not Use Extension Cords  
To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord attached to your  
unit. We do not recommend that extension cords be used with this  
product. As with all electrical devices, do not run power cords  
under rugs or carpets or place heavy objects on them. Damaged  
power cords should be replaced immediately by an authorized  
service depot with a cord meeting factory specifications.  
To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may wish to  
flatten it. This is done by carefully slitting the tape seams on the  
bottom and collapsing the carton. Other cardboard inserts may be  
stored in the same manner. Packing materials that cannot be  
collapsed should be saved along with the carton in a plastic bag.  
If you do not wish to save the packaging materials, please note that  
the carton and other sections of the shipping protection are  
recyclable. Please respect the environment and discard those  
materials at a local recycling center.  
Handle the AC Power Cord Gently  
When disconnecting the power cord from an AC outlet, always  
pull the plug, never pull the cord. If you do not intend to use the unit  
for any considerable length of time, disconnect the plug from the  
AC outlet.  
Copyright  
Audio-visual material may consist of copyright works which must  
not be recorded without the permission of the owner of the  
copyright.  
Do Not Open the Cabinet  
There are no user-serviceable components inside this product.  
Opening the cabinet may present a shock hazard, and any modifi-  
cation to the product will void your guarantee. If water or any metal  
object such as a paper clip, wire or a staple accidentally falls  
inside the unit, disconnect it from the AC power source immediate-  
ly, and consult an authorized service station.  
Please refer to relevant laws covering copyright protection.  
Copy Protection  
This DVD player supports Macrovision copy protection. On DVD  
discs that include a copy protection code, if the contents of the  
DVD disc are copied using a VCR, the copy protection code  
prevents the videotape copy from playing normally.  
Installation Location  
To ensure proper operation and to avoid the potential for safety  
hazards, place the unit on a firm and level surface. When placing  
the unit on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and any mounting  
hardware can support the weight of the product.  
For Optimal Performance  
The receiver is a precision device that is constructed using  
extremely accurate technology. Soiling or friction affecting the  
pickup lens or disc drive can impair the image quality. In the worst  
case, neither video nor audio will be played back. To obtain optimal  
picture quality, the player should be checked (cleaning and  
replacement of some parts) every 1,000 hours. Note that this period  
varies, depending on the  
Make certain that proper space is provided both above and  
below the unit for ventilation. If this product will be installed in a  
cabinet or other enclosed area, make certain that there is  
sufficient air movement within the cabinet. Under some  
circumstances a fan may be required.

TERMINOLOGY  
Since they share some of the characteristics and technology of CD  
players, many of the terms and operational concepts used in a DVD  
player are similar to what you may be familiar with from CD players  
and changers, or older video disc formats such as Laser Disc.  
How-ever, if this is your first DVD product, some of the terms used  
to describe the features of a DVD player may be unfamiliar. The fol-  
lowing explanations should solve some of the mysteries of DVD,  
and help you to enjoy all the power and flexibility of the DVD format  
and the DVD.  
acceptable, if the monitor is not too large and if there is not too  
much motion in the image. Large displays and fast-moving images  
reveal the limitations of this system. Thanks to DVD’s immense data  
capacity, images are now stored intact (progressively), so that all  
the lines in each frame (odd and even) are shown at the same time.  
But because most TVs cannot handle a progressive signal, conven-  
tional DVD players generate an interlaced output for compatibility.  
This JBL DVD player is among the select few DVD players with true  
progressive scan video output (NTSC and PAL) for use with compat-  
ible TVs and CRT projectors, and with all plasma, LCD and DLP  
display devices via the component video output. The result is 40%  
greater light output than a conventional TV and a stunningly detailed  
high-definition image, along with an almost complete absence of  
visible scanlines and motion artifacts. Of course, traditional Y/Pr/Pb  
component video, SCART, S-video and composite video outputs are  
included for use with conventional televisions and projectors.  
With the arrival of DVD, disc data capacity has increased dramati-  
cally. On a DVD Video disc most of this capacity is taken up by  
MPEG 2 video and the multichannel movie soundtrack in Dolby  
Digital and/or DTS. This information is compressed.  
Aspect Ratio: This is a description of the width of a video image in  
relation to its height. A conventional video screen is four units wide  
for every three units of height, that’s why the ratio is called ”4:3.”  
Newer wide aspect ratio video displays are 16 units wide for every  
nine units of height, making them more like the screen in a movie  
theater. The program material on a DVD may be recorded in either  
format and, in addition, you may configure the DVD to play back in  
either format, depending on the features recorded on a disc.  
Multiple-Angle: DVDs have the capability to show up to four differ-  
ent views of the same scene in a program. When a disc is encoded  
with multiple-angle information, pressing the Angle button will  
enable you to switch between these different views. Note that at  
present, few discs take advantage of this capability and, when they  
do, the multiple-angle technology may only be present for short  
periods of time within the disc. Producers will usually insert some  
sort of icon or graphic in the picture to alert you to the availability  
of multiple viewing angles.  
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI): HDMI has emerged  
as the digital standard for connecting high-definition devices,  
displays and components, and provides for the pristine  
transmission of high-definition digital video and digital audio via a  
single cable. HDMI is the first and only digital interface for  
consumer electronics devices that can carry uncompressed high-  
definition video, compressed or uncompressed multichannel audio  
and command data, allowing customers to obtain pure digital  
picture and sound directly from the source (as it was meant to be  
seen and heard).  
Reading: This is a message that you will see after you´ve loaded  
the disc and the tray has closed. It refers to the fact that the player  
must first examine the contents of the disc to see if it is a CD or  
DVD, and then extract the information about the type of material on  
the disc, such as languages, aspect ratios, subtitles, number of  
titles and more. The slight delay while the contents of the disc are  
read is normal.  
USB On-the-Go: Due to its widespread acceptance, USB is  
becoming the de facto industry standard for connecting peripherals  
to PCs and laptops. Many of the new peripherals using USB are  
also portable devices.  
Resume: The operation of the Stop button on the DVD works differ-  
ently from what you are used to on CD players. On a traditional CD  
player, when you press the Stop button, the unit does just that – it  
stops playback. On a CD player, when you press the start button  
again, the disc starts from the beginning. With the DVD, however,  
you have two options when playing DVD discs. Pressing Stop once  
will stop playback, but it actually puts the unit in the Resume mode.  
This means that you can turn the machine off and, when you press  
play the next time, the disc will resume or continue from the point  
on the disc where the Stop button was pressed. This is helpful if  
you are watching a movie and must interrupt your viewing session  
but wish to pick up where you left off. Pressing the Stop button  
twice will stop the machine in a traditional manner and, when the  
disc is played again, it will start from the beginning.  
As these portable devices increase in popularity, there is a growing  
need for them to communicate directly with each other when a PC  
is not available – for instance, in consumer electronics products.  
The USB On-the-Go technology addresses this need for mobile  
interconnectivity.  
Title: For a DVD, a title is defined as an entire movie or program.  
There can be as many chapters within a title as the producers  
decide to include. Most discs include only one title, but some may  
have more than one, to give you a “Double Feature” presentation.  
Chapter: DVD programs are divided into chapters and titles.  
Chapters are the subsections programmed into a single title on a  
disc, and may be compared to the individual tracks on an audio CD.  
In resume mode, the cover of the DVD will be displayed, if  
available. Otherwise, the JBL screen will appear.  
RGB Video: This is a new form of video signal that eliminates many  
of the artifacts of traditional composite video signals by splitting the  
signal into the three fundamental colors Red, Green and Blue  
(RGB). With an RGB connection (via SCART), you will see greater  
picture resolution and eliminate many picture imperfections such  
as the moiré patterns often seen on checkered patterned cloths.  
However, in order to benefit from RGB video, you must have a video  
display with an RGB compatible SCART input.  
DivX: DivX is the name of a revolutionary new video codec which is  
based on the MPEG-4 compression standard for video. This DVD  
player will playback discs created with DivX software. The DVD  
player’s playback functionalities of DivX video discs will vary  
depending on the DivX software version used for creating your  
movies. For more information about the different software versions  
Progressive Scan: DVD offers progressive scan video outputs for  
use with compatible high-resolution televisions and projectors.  
Before DVD, no consumer medium could store, transmit or display  
video with full resolution. To conserve bandwidth, analog compres-  
sion (interlacing) is employed: first the odd-numbered lines of a  
frame are displayed, followed by the even-numbered lines. The  
result is that only half of the video image is drawn at one time; the  
viewer’s brain must reassemble the complete image. This is

ble that some discs may include a mix of features that are not com-  
patible with the DVD. Similarly, although the DVD is capable of a  
wide range of features, not all discs include every capability of the  
DVD system. For example, although the DVD is compatible with  
multi-angle discs, that feature is only possible when the disc is  
specially encoded for multipleangle play. In addition, the DVD is  
capable of playing back both Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks,  
but the number and types of tracks available will vary from disc to  
disc. To make certain that a specific feature or soundtrack option is  
available, please check the options noted on the disc jacket.

BASIC INFORMATION  
About This Manual  
Regional Coding  
• The types of functions and operations that can be used for a par-  
ticular disc vary depending on the features of that disc. In some  
cases, these functions and operations may differ from the  
descriptions given in this manual. In this event, follow the instruc-  
tions given on the screen. This manual only covers basic disc  
operations.  
DVD players and discs are designed with regional restrictions  
which dictate the regions in which a disc can be played. If the  
region number on the disc you want to play does not match the  
region number of your DVD player, you will not be able to play the  
disc. The message REGION ERR will appear in the front-panel  
display. The region code of this player is indicated on the rear  
panel and on the external packaging.  
• For some operations, the icon may appear on the screen. This  
Ø
indicates that the operation described in this manual is not  
available on the disc in the player.  
• On-screen and front-panel display illustrations in this manual are  
purely for the purposes of explanation. The actual displays may  
differ slightly from these illustrations.  
Disc Handling Precautions  
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch  
the surface.  
• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc. If there is glue (or a similar  
substance) on the disc, remove the glue completely before using  
the disc.  
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources such as hot  
air ducts, or leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as there can  
be a considerable rise in temperature inside the car.  
• After playing, store the disc in its case.  
• Do not write on the label side with a ballpoint pen or other writing  
utensils.  
• Be careful not to drop or bend the disc.  
Disc Cleaning Precautions  
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc  
from the center out.  
• Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially  
available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.  
Disc Installing Precautions  
• Do not install more than one disc on the disc tray.  
• Do not place the disc on the tray upside down.  
• Do not try to close the disc tray when the disc is not installed and  
centered properly.  
13  
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS  
After unpacking the unit, and placing it on a solid surface capable of  
supporting its weight, you will need to make the connections to your  
audio and video equipment.  
HDMI Connection  
If your TV set is equipped with an HDMI input, we suggest you use the  
HDMI connection to connect your CS system and your TV. It will allow  
you to watch your DVDs in the best possible picture quality. Most LCD,  
plasma and video projectors have such an HDMI input nowadays.  
Connect the HDMI Output H to the HDMI input of your video device.  
Audio Equipment Connections  
We recommend that you use high-quality interconnect cables  
when making connections to source equipment and recorders to  
preserve the integrity of the signals.  
The HDMI wire does not transport audio signals from the TV to the CS,  
so you need an additional audio connection (see note above).  
When making connections to audio source equipment or speakers,  
it is always a good practice to unplug the unit from the AC wall  
outlet. This prevents any possibility of accidentally sending audio or  
transient signals to the speakers that may damage them.  
1. Connect the front, center and surround speaker outputs BCD to  
the respective speakers.  
Cables that are run inside walls should have the appropriate  
markings to indicate listing with any appropriate testing agency  
standards. Questions about running cables inside walls should be  
referred to your installer or a licensed electrician who is familiar  
with the applicable local building codes in your area.  
If your TV set does not have an HDMI input, please follow one of the  
steps below to connect it to your CS system or other video compo-  
nents.  
TV Connection (Method 1) – Using SCART Cable (Included)  
To view the video from DVD discs on your TV set, connect the SCART  
TV Out Jack 3 of the CS system to the SCART In jack of your TV set.  
The audio connection runs through the same cable (see note above).  
When connecting wires to the speakers, be certain to observe  
proper polarity. Note that the positive (+) terminal of each speaker  
connection now carries a specific color code. However, most  
speakers will still use a red terminal for the postive (+) connection.  
Connect the “negative” or “black” wire to the same terminal on  
both the receiver and the speaker.  
We also recommend that the length of cable used to connect  
speaker pairs be identical. For example, use the same length  
piece of cable to connect the front-left and front-right or  
surround-left and surround-right speakers, even if the speakers  
are a different distance from the CS receiver.  
2. Connections to the subwoofer are made via a line-level audio  
connection from the Subwoofer Output  
input (purple) of the subwoofer. Connect at the same time the  
7
to the line-level SUB  
TV Connection (Method 2) – Using S-Video Cable (Not Included)  
If your TV set has an S-video input jack, you can connect your TV to  
the S-Video Out Jack 1 on the back of the CS receiver. S-video wires  
don’t transport audio signals, so you need an additional audio con-  
nection (see note above).  
Subwoofer Trigger Output  
F
to the Trigger Input of the sub-  
woofer.  
3. Connect the supplied FM antenna to the FM (75-Ohm)  
5
connection. The FM antenna may be an external roof antenna,  
an inside powered or wire lead antenna or a connection from a  
cable system. Note that if the antenna or connection uses  
300-ohm twin-lead cable, you should use a 300-ohm-to-75-ohm  
adapter to make the connection.  
Video Equipment Connections  
Video equipment is connected in the same manner as audio  
components. Again, the use of high-quality interconnect cables is  
recommended to preserve signal quality.  
TV Connection (Method 3) – Using Composite Video (Cable Not  
Included)  
Connecting the TV and Optional Components  
If your TV set has neither S-video nor SCART input jacks, connect  
NOTE: To be able to listen to the sound of a live TV show through the  
loudspeakers of your CS system you need a connection between the  
audio output of your TV and the CS receiver. To achieve this when  
using the supplied SCART cable, you don’t need to connect any  
additional wires – the SCART cable transports audio and video signals  
in both directions. But when using the HDMI, component, S-video or  
composite jacks you need to connect the audio output of your TV set  
with the TV Audio In K on the back of your CS receiver. If your TV has  
a digital audio output, it is recommended that you use that one, rather  
than the analog audio output. Connect the digital output of your TV to  
the Digital In 89 on the back of your CS receiver.  
the Video Out Jack  
0
of the CS to the Video In jack of your TV set.  
The composite wire also doesn’t transport audio signals, so you  
need to make additional connections (see earlier note).  
Component Video Connection (Method 4)  
If the video display has component video inputs, connect the  
Component Video Outputs  
2
on the CS3/CS5 to the corresponding  
input jacks on your television. If you are using a progressive scan  
television or projector, you must also change the Scan Type in the  
DVD player’s Video Setup menu from ”Interlaced” to ”Progressive.”  
14  
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS  
Aux Output for Recording  
To record the sound of the CS system with your VCR or any audio  
recording device (tape deck, MD, CDR and some others), the Audio  
Out Jacks  
A
should be connected to the analog Record In jacks of  
the appropriate device. They can also be connected to any audio  
input on your TV to listen to the sound of your CS receiver through  
the speakers of your TV only, when the amp in your subwoofer is  
turned off and the volume of the CS receiver has been turned down  
completely. If the speakers of your CS system are active, the  
volume on your TV should be turned down.  
Connecting VCR and Sat Decoder (Methods 5 and 6)  
The diagram below shows possible connection methods for  
common system configurations. These are intended as guidelines  
only. Due to differences in equipment specifications, the method of  
connection for your equipment may be different from that shown.  
Please consult the owner’s manual for your equipment for further  
guidance.  
Digital In- and Outputs  
Connect the digital output of any digital sources such as an  
optional CD or DVD changer or player, advanced video game, a  
digital satellite receiver, HDTV tuner or digital cable set-top box or  
the output of a compatible computer sound card to the Optical and  
Coaxial Digital Inputs 89.  
Connect the Coaxial Digital Output  
E
on the rear panel of the CS to  
the matching digital input connections on a CD-R or MiniDisc recorder.  
Note (When Connecting the Optical Digital Audio Cable – Optional):  
Gently push the cable plug through the built-in shutter that covers  
the optical digital audio output and connect the cable firmly so that  
the configurations of both the cable and the connector match.  
Speaker Placement  
The placement of speakers in a multichannel home theater system  
can have a noticeable impact on the quality of sound reproduced.  
Connecting Set-Top Box or Digital Satellite Receiver (Method 7) –  
Using Coaxial Digital Cable  
Depending on your viewing device, place the center speaker either  
directly above or below your TV, or in the center behind a  
perforated front-projection screen.  
To listen to the digital multichannel signal or downmix from set-top  
boxes or digital satellite receivers, connect the Coaxial Digital Out  
of your device to the Coaxial Digital In  
8
on the CS receiver.  
Once the center channel speaker is installed, position the left-front  
and right-front speakers so that they are as far away from one  
another as the center channel speaker is from the preferred  
listening position. Ideally, the front-channel speakers should be  
placed so that their tweeters are no more than 60cm above or  
below the tweeter in the center channel speaker.  
Depending on the specifics of your room acoustics, you may find  
that imaging is improved by moving the front-left and front-right  
speakers slightly forward of the center channel speaker. If possi-  
ble, adjust all front loudspeakers so that they are aimed at ear  
height when you are seated in the listening position.  
Using these guidelines, you’ll find that it takes some experimenta-  
tion to find the correct location for the front speakers in your  
particular installation. Don’t be afraid to move things around until  
the system sounds correct. Optimize your speakers so that audio  
transitions across the front of the room sound smooth.  
Optional Audio Connections  
Aux Input for External Source  
You may connect a line-level stereo analog audio source such as a  
Sat receiver, tape deck, phono preamp of a record player, etc., to  
When the CS is used in 5.1-channel operation, the preferred  
location for surround speakers is on the side walls of the room, at  
or slightly behind the listening position.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS  
Once the speakers have been placed in the room and connected,  
the remaining steps are to program the system configuration mem-  
ories.  
First Turn-On  
You are now ready to power up the CS3/CS5 receiver to begin final  
adjustments.  
1. Plug the Power Cable  
4
into an unswitched AC outlet. Note that  
the Power Indicator  
1
will turn orange, indicating that the unit  
is in the Standby mode.  
A) Front channel speaker installation with direct-view TV sets or  
rear-screen projectors  
2. Remove the protective plastic film from the main front-panel lens.  
If left in place, the film may affect the performance of your  
remote control.  
3. Install the three supplied AAA batteries in the remote as shown.  
Be certain to follow the (+) and (–) polarity indicators that are on  
the top of the battery compartment.  
4. Turn the CS3/CS5 on either by pressing the Power On/Off  
the Input Source Selectors on the remote control. The  
Power Indicator will turn blue to confirm that the unit is on,  
1
or

will also light up.  
Basic Playback  
Preparation  
B) The distance between the left and right speakers should be  
equal to the distance from the seating position to the viewing  
screen. You may also experiment with placing the left and right  
speakers slightly forward of the center speaker. Rear speaker  
mounting is an alternate location for 5.1 systems.  
1. Switch the TV ON and select its video input connected to the CS  
receiver.  
2. When you switch on the CS system receiver, a JBL welcome  
image should appear on the screen. If that screen appears dis-  
torted or without color, change the appropriate settings at the  
Video Setting submenu according to your TV set and to the con-  
nection used between the CS receiver and your TV.  
Rear surround speakers may also be used in 5.1-channel mode as  
an alternative mounting position when it is not practical to place  
the main surround speakers at the sides of the room. Speakers may  
be placed on a rear wall, behind the listening position. As with the  
side speakers, the center of the rear surrounds should face you.  
The speakers should be no more than 2 meters behind the rear of  
the seating area.  
3. If there is no picture at all, not even the JBL screen, check the  
setting of the video input used on your TV (most SCART inputs on  
TVs can be configured in the TV’s menu). If this doesn’t work,  
connect your TV with different cables to the CS receiver, e.g., via  
composite (yellow jacks) or S-video cables, rather than SCART to  
view the setup menus until all appropriate Video menu settings  
are made properly.  
Subwoofers produce largely nondirectional sound, so they may be  
placed almost anywhere in a room. Actual placement should be  
based on room size. One method of finding the optimal location for  
a subwoofer is to begin by placing it in the front of the room, about  
15cm from a wall, or near the front corner of the room. Another  
method is to temporarily place the subwoofer in the spot where you  
will normally sit, and then walk around the room until you find a  
spot where the subwoofer sounds best. Place the subwoofer in  
that spot.  
4. Press Open/Close  
2

modes. Slow play is not available for CD.  
One of the most important features of the CS3/CS5 receiver is its  
ability to reproduce a full multichannel surround sound field from  
digital sources, analog Matrix surround-encoded programs and  
standard Stereo programs.  
NOTES:  
Selection of a surround mode is based on personal taste, as well as  
the type of program source material being used. For example,  
motion pictures, CDs or TV programs bearing the logo of one of the  
major surround-encoding processes (such as Dolby Surround)  
should be played in either the Dolby Pro Logic II Movie (with  
movies) or Music (with music) surround mode.  
• Playback features may not be available during the opening credits  
of a movie. This is intended by the disc author and is not a failure  
of the CS receiver.  
• Playback of a DVD with 96kHz/24-bit audio requires the use of  
circuitry normally used for other features. Accordingly, Slow  
Play Reverse and Step Advance features are not available with  
these discs.  
Surround modes and audio formats are selected using the remote.

When a digital source is present, the CS receiver will automatically  
select and switch to the correct mode (Dolby Digital or DTS),  
regardless of the mode that has been previously selected.

SYSTEM SETUP  
System Defaults  
The final step of the installation is to establish the system’s  
defaults. It is helpful to take a few minutes to familiarize yourself  
with these settings, as they may require change before the first use  
and later from time to time.  
General Functionality of the OSD Menu  
The complete setup and control of the CS3/CS5 takes place in an  
advanced user-guided on-screen display (OSD) menu system. The  
OSD can be activated by pressing the OSD  
8
button on the  
remote control. Pressing this button again de-activates the OSD.  
The main menu consists of a Player menu, Radio menu, TV menu,  
AUX menu, Digital menu, USB menu and Setup menu. The Player  
menu will show all information and options available for the disc  
currently playing. The Radio menu will show radio and RDS options.  
The TV, AUX and Digital menus show the surround options for these  
specific audio inputs. The USB menu will show all information and  
options available when USB thumb devices or portable hard disks  
are connected. The Setup menu will help you configure all audio  
and video settings which are normally only made once.  
Depending on how your CS system is connected to your TV set, two  
different on-screen displays are available. When the CS is connect-  
ed via any of the standard definition connections (SCART, S-video,  
composite video or standard component video), the OSD will be  
icon-based. When the CS is connected via any of the high-defini-  
tion connections (HDMI or high-definition component video), the  
OSD will be text-based. In the next chapters, we will show both the  
standard-definition version and the high-definition version, to make  
the initial setup as easy as possible.

Setup Menu  
The first step in checking or changing the system defaults is to  
access the Setup menu. First, make certain that the CS receiver is  
properly connected to a video display, and that power is  
connected. For this process, however, you do not need to load a  
disc into the unit.  
Many menus contain submenus or text lines. These submenus are  
shown as icons on the left side of the menu, depending on whether  
you are watching the standard-definition OSD or high-definition  
OSD. They can be highlighted by a white square around the icon or  
text by moving the cursor with the Arrow

In the Setup menu, you will find submenus for making or changing  
all settings and adjustments for both audio and video handling of  
your CS3/CS5.  
To change a setting, simply move the cursor to the setting you wish

SYSTEM SETUP  
Audio Settings  
The System Setting submenu contains the following settings.  
Follow the explanations in the Upper Menu Line on the bottom of  
your screen to change the settings.  
Display Language: Sets the language in which the OSD menus are  
shown on your screen.  
Preferred Subtitle Language: Defines your preferred subtitle  
language. Every time a disc contains this subtitle language, it will  
be shown automatically. If you do not find your preferred language  
in the list of options, you can select your preferred language by  
selecting OTHER, and than typing a 4-digit code found in the code  
list on page 31. You can also set the preferred subtitle language to  
OFF. In that case no subtitles will be shown.  
Panel Time-Out: Sets the time-out interval for the Front-Panel  
Information Display. After the selected time, the display will dim  
completely.  
The Audio Setting submenu contains the following settings. Follow  
the explanations in the Upper Menu Line on the bottom of your  
screen to change the settings.  
Status Bar Time-Out: Sets the time-out interval for the Status Bar,  
Preferred Audio Language: Defines your preferred audio language.  
Every time a disc is played that contains this audio language, it will

after which the Status Bar will disappear from the screen.  
Parental Control: Defines a password used to control viewing of  
restricted programs. The default password is 8888. After pressing  
the default password, either the parental control setting can be  
chosen, or a new password. The five standard US rating symbols  
are ”G” (General, level 1), ”PG” (Parental Guidance, level 3),  
”PG13” (Parental Guidance and 13 years old, level 4), ”R”  
(Restricted, level 6) and ”NC 17” (from 17 years old, level 7). The  
DVD will accommodate a total of eight rating steps, as set by the  
DVD creators. These additional steps allow for more critical control  
of program playback for all audiences. Level 8: All DVDs can be  
played. Levels 7 to 2: DVDs for general audiences/children can be  
played. Level 1: DVDs for children can be played; DVDs for  
adults/general audiences are prohibited. Follow the explanations  
on the screen to set a new password.  
Dynamic Range: This setting allows you to take advantage of the  
programming present on some Dolby Digital recordings to reduce  
the volume of louder passages while maintaining intelligibility of  
quieter passages. This means that you may listen to programs at a  
level that allows the full impact of a soundtrack to be heard at a  
volume that is lower than you might otherwise use to avoid  
disturbing others. The CS3/CS5 accomplishes this by compressing  
the audio to a greater or lesser degree, depending on which setting  
you choose. Three options are available:  
MINIMUM does not make any changes to the original playback,  
and should be used when the volume setting in the listening room  
may be as loud as you desire.  
Disc Recognition: When set to on, the next time a disc is inserted,  
the CS will show a “Disc Recognized” message, with the question  
if you would like to play the disc from the beginning or would like to  
resume from where you last stopped the disc. The memory can  
contain information of the last 100 discs played.  
MEDIUM applies a moderate amount of compression so that  
louder passages are a little bit quieter.  
MAXIMUM applies more compression so that louder passages  
are much softer.  
PBC Support: Activates PBC (Play Back Control) Support for VCD  
discs.  
Feel free to experiment with the settings at any time.  
Screen Saver: Activates a screen saver to prevent image “burn” in  
a video display device. If you connect the CS receiver to a plasma  
screen or video projector, we recommend you activate the screen  
saver at all times.  
Delay Unit: This setting sets the measuring unit for Delay in either  
Feet or Meter.  
Tone Control: Activates or deactivates the Bass and Treble settings.  
Once either the Bass or Treble settings are changed, the Tone  
Control automatically switches to ON.  
Show Angle Icon: Determines whether the Angle Icon will appear  
on the screen when there are different angles available on a DVD  
disc.  
Bass Level: Sets the level of low frequencies.  
Treble Level: Sets the level of high frequencies.  
DVD Sound Mode: Sets the audio format of the DVD-disc playing  
(for other sources, see Surround Mode in each respective chapter).  
Once set to Stereo, every surround format on a DVD will be con-  
verted to a pure stereo signal. Once set to DPLII, all stereo signals  
on a DVD are forced into 5.1, leaving all multichannel signals in  
their original format. This setting is recommended. The original will  
follow the surround format on the disc.

SYSTEM SETUP  
Audio Adjustment  
Video Settings  
The Audio Adjustment submenu contains the access to the speaker  
delay and the output level adjustment settings of the CS3/CS5.  
Follow the explanations in the Upper Menu Line on the bottom of  
your screen to make adjustments.  
The Video Setting submenu contains the following settings. Follow  
the explanations in the Upper Menu Line on the bottom of your  
screen to change the settings.  
Aspect Ratio: This step selects the TV aspect ratio, conventional  
screen shape (4:3) or widescreen (16:9), according to your TV. If  
you have a conventional 4:3 TV that can (automatically) switch to  
show a 16:9 format, you should select 16:9 rather than 4:3.  
Delay  
Due to the different distances between the listening position for the  
front channel speakers and the surround speakers, the amount of  
time it takes for sound to reach your ears from the front or sur-  
round speakers is different. You may compensate for this difference  
through the use of the delay settings to adjust the timing for the  
specific speaker placement and acoustic conditions in your listen-  
ing room or home theater.  
TV Standard: Sets the output video format (i.e., NTSC or PAL), of the  
CS receiver. If you have a multistandard TV, we recommend the  
AUTO setting for optimal picture quality.  
Scan Type: Sets the component video output to Interlace or  
Progressive. Before changing the setting to Progressive, make sure  
that your video display connected to the component output is capa-  
ble of handling progressive scan signals. As soon as you select  
progressive scan the scan type, the video output will automatically  
change to component. All other outputs, composite video on cinch,  
SCART and S-video, will be kept interlaced. The interlaced  
composite and S-video outputs remain active for connection to a  
second (interlaced) video display.  
Measure the distance from the listening position to each of the  
individual loudspeakers. Once done, select per loudspeaker the  
distance that is closest to the one measured.  
Output Level Adjustment  
Output level adjustment is a key part of the configuration process  
for any surround sound product.  
NOTE: Listeners are often confused about the operation of the sur-  
round channels. While some assume that sound should always be  
coming from each speaker, most of the time there will be little or no  
sound in the surround channels. This is because they are only used  
when a movie director or sound mixer specifically places sound  
there to create ambiance, a special effect or to continue action  
from the front of the room to the rear. When the output levels are  
properly set it is normal for surround speakers to operate only  
occasionally. Artificially increasing the volume to the rear speakers  
may destroy the illusion of an enveloping sound field that dupli-  
cates the way you hear sound in a movie theater or concert hall.  
Video Output: Sets the video output type to SCART or component.  
SCART will be used for most TVs. Component will be used for most  
LCD, plasma and projectors.  
SCART Output: Selects which kind of video output signals will be  
routed over the scart. RGB will be used for most TV’s as it provides  
the best picture quality.  
Video Mode: This setting affects only the Component Video  
Outputs, and it controls how the video signals are optimized for  
progressive scan display. In most cases, the “automatic” mode is  
your best choice, as it senses whether the disc being played was  
originally recorded on video or shot on film. However, in some  
cases you may wish to compensate for errors in the disc authoring  
that occur when the frame rate is not properly maintained when  
films are converted to video. Three choices are available:  
The default settings of the DVD player is 0dB for all channels. In  
case you feel adjustments are necessary in your setup, we advise  
you to make the adjustments using the internal test tone generator.  
Once the cursor is moved to any of the speaker level icons, the test  
noise will be heard from the corresponding speaker. If this is not  
the case please check whether the loudspeaker is connected to  
the correct loudspeaker output on the rear panel. The speaker level  
can be adjusted by pressing Enter 6 and selecting an appropriate  
level indicated in the Lower Menu Line. The test noise will stop as  
soon as the cursor is moved away from any speaker level icon.  
• Auto: This is the recommended setting, as it lets the CS system  
analyze the signals from the DVD and adjust the output  
accordingly.  
• Movie: Choose this option for optimal playback of material that  
was shot on film, even though you are viewing it on video via a  
DVD.  
20  
SYSTEM SETUP  
• Video: Choose this option for optimal playback of material that was

shot directly to video (e.g., concerts and sports programming).  
Video Resolution: Selects the resolution of the video output. When  
the CS system is connected to either one of the composite, S-video  
or SCART connectors, this setting should be left in Standard.  
When you connect your CS system via a digital HDMI or component  
video connection, the preferred setting is either 720p (progressive  
scan with 720 lines) or 1080i (interlaced with 1080 lines).  
If you select any of the 720p or 1080i high-resolution formats, all  
analog video outputs (composite, S-video and SCART) will become  
temporarily inactive.

Video Adjustment  
The Video Adjustment submenu contains access to the Test  
Screen. First adjust the video display device (TV) with the help of  
the Test Screen. After that the output settings of the player can be  
fine-tuned with the Color, Contrast, Brightness, Tint and Black Level  
settings. In order to change the settings, move the cursor to the “+“  
or “–“ icon on the same line as the setting. Once one of the icons is  
highlighted, pressing Enter 6 will increase or decrease the value  
of the setting, as will be shown in the bar behind the setting. To exit  
the Video Adjustment menu, move the cursor to DONE, and press  
Enter 6.

TEST SCREEN  
When you activate the Test Screen via the OSD you can activate a  
still image to test all settings and the video performance of your TV.  
With the vertical color bars you can test the following:  
4. The gray scale in the middle line needs to have the same clear  
difference between each bar as before the contrast adjustment.  
If not, go back to the brightness adjustment and repeat Step 3,  
and then the contrast adjustments, making only minor  
adjustments each time for optimization.  
• Proper color intensity setting on your TV.  
• The proper color of each bar, showing if the proper video stan-  
dard is turned on: the colors should be (left to right): black, white,  
yellow, cyan (turquoise), green, magenta (purple), red, blue, black.  
Color Adjustment  
1. When the brightness and the contrast are set optimally, turn up  
the color control to the level of your preference. Adjust to the  
level where the colors look strong but still natural, not overdone.  
If the color level is too high, depending from the TV used, some  
of the bars will seem wider or the color intensity will not increase  
while the control is turned up. Then the color control must be  
reduced again. At the end, you should test the color intensity  
also with a video – e.g., pictures of natural faces, flowers, fruit  
and vegetables and other familiar, natural objects most useful for  
an optimal setting of the color intensity.  
• Proper color transition, seen as sharp separation of the bars;  
S-video will be better than “Video,” RGB best of all.  
• The performance of the color filter in your TV (with ”Video”  
signals), bar edges should show no vertical crawling dots. Here,  
S-video and RGB formats usually give no problems.  
With the gray scale and the black/white fields below the color bars,  
the brightness and contrast of your screen can be adjusted  
optimally; see chapter ”TV Picture Adjustment” below.  
2. If your TV has a Tint option (with most European TVs this is avail-  
able or effective only with NTSC signals, not with PAL), use the  
large white bar below the gray scale to tweak the warmth of the  
picture. Every viewer has a different preference as to how the  
glow of the picture should be. Some prefer a little colder picture,  
some a warmer glow. The Tint function on your TV and the white  
bar can be used to control this. Adjust the Tint to the level at  
which you feel the white color has the tone you prefer.

Sharpness Adjustment  
Contrary to intuition, the picture will appear sharper and clearer  
with the sharpness, or Edges, setting backed off from the maximum

Edges setting on the CS3/CS5 video adjustments menu, if neces-  
sary, to minimize the appearance of any white lines between the  
bars in the gray scale portion of the test screen.  
TV Picture Adjustment With Test Screen  
These adjustments may be done now, but you can also make them  
after setup has been finalized.  
Brightness Adjustment  
1. Turn down the color control on your TV until the color bars are  
visible in black and white.  
Convergence and Edge Focus  
The crosshatch pattern that surrounds the test screen may be used  
to evaluate edge focus and convergence in front- or rear-projection  
video displays. However, the controls used to adjust these  
parameters are often not user-accessible.  
2. Adjust the contrast to the lowest level where you still can see all  
bars within the gray scale in the test picture separately and  
clearly.  
3. Adjust the brightness so that the bars in the gray scale are all  
visible. The bar furthest to the left has to be as black as possible  
rather than gray but the next must clearly be differentiated.  
All the bars in the gray scale have to be gradually and evenly  
changing from black to whiter, going from left to right.  
In any event, these adjustments are extremely complex, and  
require proper training and experience to avoid worsening the  
situation. Therefore, it is recommended that if you are unable to  
improve the picture using the available controls, contact the video  
display manufacturer’s authorized service representative for  
assistance.  
Contrast Adjustment  
1. Adjust the contrast on your TV until you see a bright white bar in  
the lower right corner of the screen and a deep dark black bar  
on the left. The optimal contrast setting will depend on your  
preference and the surrounding light in the TV room.

to enjoy the finest in DVD or CD playback!  
3. If you are watching TV with ordinary surrounding daylight, adjust  
the contrast so that a typical video picture has about the same  
look as the surroundings in your room. That way, the eye is  
relaxed when watching the TV picture. This contrast setting may  
be reduced when the surrounding light is dimmed, usually  
improving the sharpness of a video considerably.

When the cursor is moved to the “ # ” icon on top of the preset  
numbers you can activate the Auto Preset function, clear the  
complete frequency list or restore all default frequencies set by the  
factory.  
When the Auto Preset is selected the tuner will scan the full FM  
range and store all stations with acceptable reception one after  
another on the presets. The frequency scanned will appear on the  
left lower side of the menu while the frequency of each station  
stored will be shown on the right side of the list. When the

of the station you are currently listening to as well as the station  
names of all other presets.  
The RDS function is set to active by default, shown by the dark blue  
RDS icon at the left of the menu. In this mode, all station names will  
be visible both on the OSD menu as well as on the Information  
Display on the front panel.  
If the RDS function on the left side of the menu is inactive (light blue),  
you will only see the frequency of the current preset shown in the  
menu and on the front-panel display. The Station Name line on top of  
the menu will disappear, but the name of all other stations preset will  
keep in the list.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
If you experience any of the following difficulties while using the  
system, use this troubleshooting guide to help you remedy the  
problem. Should any problem persist, consult your authorized  
JBL dealer.  
The left and right channels are unbalanced or reversed.  
• Check that the speakers and components are connected correctly  
and securely.  
Severe hum or noise is heard.  
• Check that the speakers and components are connected securely.  
No power.  
• Is the power cord firmly plugged into the power outlet?  
• Check that the connecting cords are away from a transformer or  
motor and at least 3 meters away from fluorescent light.  
• One of the safety mechanisms may be operating. In this event,  
unplug the player from the power outlet briefly and then plug  
it in again.  
• Move your TV away from the audio components.  
• The plugs and jacks are dirty. Wipe them with a cloth slightly  
moistened with alcohol.  
No picture.  
• Clean the disc.  
• Check that the system is connected correctly and securely.  
• The video cable may be damaged. Replace it with a new one.  
The surround effect is difficult to hear when you are playing a  
Dolby Digital soundtrack.  
• Check to see whether the Dolby Digital mode is turned on  
properly; otherwise, unload and load the disc again.  
• Make sure the system is connected to a video input on the TV  
(see page 14).  
• Make sure the TV is turned on.  
• Make sure the correct video input on the TV is selected for  
viewing with this system.  
• Check the speaker connections.  
• Depending on the DVD disc, the output signal may at times be  
mono or stereo, even if the soundtrack is recorded in Dolby Digital  
format.  
Interference appears in the picture.  
• Clean the disc.  
• If video from this system has to go through your VCR to get to your  
TV, the copy-protection applied to some DVD programs could  
affect picture quality. If you still experience problems after  
checking your connections, please try connecting your DVD  
system directly to your TV’s S-video input, if your TV is equipped  
with this input (see page 14).  
The sound comes from the center speaker only.  
• Depending on the disc, sound may sometimes come from the  
center speaker only. This also applies to mono recordings (from  
disc or any analog source), when Pro Logic mode is selected.  
This is normal.  
No sound is heard from the center speaker.  
• Adjust center speaker volume (see page 20).  
The aspect ratio of the screen is wrong (picture vertically  
expanded) when you play a wide picture, even though you set “TV  
Display” in the Setup menu to “16:9.  
• If you connect the system with the SCART cable, connect directly  
to the TV. Otherwise, the autoswitch function of the aspect ratio  
for the TV may not work.  
No sound or only very low volume from the rear speakers.  
• Adjust the rear speaker volume (see page 20).  
• If the TV is not connected with a SCART cable to the CS, or if the  
autoswitch function does not work, you should turn the TV to  
“16:9” (if possible with your TV).  
The volume goes down automatically and cannot be increased.  
• The internal temperature is too high. Wait approximately one  
minute for the amplifier to reach normal working temperature.  
• Depending on the TV, you may not be able to change the aspect  
ratio. In that case (TV not adjustable to 16:9), do not select “16:9”  
in the TV display. Then, no change of the aspect ratio is needed.  
Radio stations cannot be tuned in.  
• Check that the antenna is connected correctly. Adjust the  
antenna and connect an external antenna, if necessary.  
There is no sound or volume is very low.  
• Check that the speakers and components are connected correctly  
and securely.  
• The signal strength of the stations is too weak for automatic  
tuning. Use manual tuning.  
• No stations have been preset.  
• Make sure that you have selected the correct source on the  
system.  
• The tuner mode is not selected; select the Radio mode.  
• Press Mute A on the remote control, if the words MUTE ON  
The remote does not function.  
• Remove any obstacles between the remote control and the  
system.

• The protective circuitry has been activated because of a short  
circuit. Turn the system off, eliminate the short circuit problem  
and turn the power on again.  
• Move the remote control closer to the system.  
• Point the remote control at the remote sensor on the front panel.  
• The audio interconnect is damaged. Replace it with a new one.

GLOSSARY  
Bit Rate  
DVD  
Value indicating the amount of video data compressed in a DVD per  
second. The unit is Mbps (megabits per second). 1 Mbps indicates  
that the data per second is 1,000,000 bits. The higher the bit rate,  
the larger the amount of data. However, this does not always mean  
higher quality pictures.  
A disc that contains up to eight hours of moving pictures even  
though its diameter is the same as a CD. The data capacity of a  
single-layer and single-sided DVD, at 4.7GB (gigabyte), is 7 times  
that of a CD. Furthermore, the data capacity of a dual-layer and  
single-sided DVD is 8.5GB, a single-layer and double-sided DVD  
9.4GB, and a dual-layer and double-sided DVD 17GB. The picture  
data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of the worldwide standards of  
digital compression technology. The picture data is compressed to  
about 1/40 of its original size.  
Chapter  
Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD that are smaller  
than titles. Many titles are composed of several chapters, but many  
others are not. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number  
enabling you to locate the chapter you want.  
The DVD also uses the variable rate coding technology that  
changes the data to be allocated according to the status of the pic-  
ture. The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS and/or PCM,  
allowing you to enjoy more natural audio presence. Furthermore,  
various advanced functions such as multi-angle, multilingual, and  
subtitles may be provided with the DVD.  
®
Dolby Digital (“5.1,” “AC-3 ”)  
This sound format for movie theaters is more advanced than Dolby  
Pro Logic Surround. In this format, the rear speakers output stereo  
sound with an expanded frequency range and a subwoofer channel  
for deep bass is independently provided. This format is also called  
“5.1” because the subwoofer channel is counted as the 0.1 channel  
(since it functions only when a deep bass effect is needed). All six  
channels in this format are recorded separately for superior chan-  
nel separation. Furthermore, since all the signals are processed  
digitally, less signal degradation occurs. The name “AC-3” comes  
from the fact that it is the third audio coding method to be devel-  
oped by the Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.  
Multi-Angle Function  
Various angles or viewpoints of the video camera for a scene are  
recorded on some DVDs.  
Multilingual Function  
Several languages for the sound or subtitles in a picture are  
recorded on some DVDs.

Parental Control  
A function of some (particulary U.S.) DVDs to limit playback of the  
disc by the age of the users. The limitation varies from disc to disc.  
When it is activated, playback is completely prohibited, violent  
scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes and so on.  
Dolby Pro Logic II Surround  
This is a method of decoding stereo or surround recordings that  
produces five channels from 2-channel sound. Compared with the  
former Dolby Surround system, Dolby Pro Logic II Surround  
reproduces left-to-right panning more naturally and localizes  
sounds more precisely. To take full advantage of Dolby Pro Logic II  
Surround, you should have a pair of rear speakers and a center  
speaker. The rear speakers output stereo sound.  
Title  
The longest sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD; a  
movie, etc., for a picture piece on video software; or an album, etc.,  
for a music piece on an audio software. Each title is assigned a title  
number enabling you to locate the title you want.  
Track  
Sections of a music piece on a CD. Each track is assigned a track  
DTS  
number enabling you to locate the track you want.  
Digital audio compression technology developed by DTS, Inc.  
This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround. The rear channels  
are stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format.  
DTS provides 5.1 discrete channels of high-quality digital audio.  
Good channel separation is realized, because all channels are  
recorded discretely and processed digitally.  
PCM  
Pulse code modulation, an uncompressed data formation.
