Before making connections

• Do not connect the AC power cord until all other

connections have been made.

Preparations

• Connect VIDEO OUT of the player directly to the video

input of your TV. Connecting VIDEO OUT of the player to a

TV via a VCR may cause a monitor problem when playing

back a copy-protected disc. You may also have a monitor

problem when connecting the player to an integrated TV/

Video system.

• In the following description, “TV” may be substituted with

“monitor” or “projector.”

• Terminal names used for other components may be different

from those used in the following description.

Connections

Before using the player, connect the player to a TV and/or

amplifier.

Connecting to a TV

The following sections A to D describe TV connections where

only a TV is connected to the player so that you will hear audio

from the TV.

A Connecting to a TV with the SCART connector

You can enjoy using the player by simply connecting it to your

television set with a 21-pin SCART cable.

NOTE

When you connect a SCART cable, do not connect any other

cables to other video signal output jacks (VIDEO/S-VIDEO/

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT). If you do so, you will not be able to

obtain correct signals from the SCART connector of the player.

NOTES

• When you connect cables to both the VIDEO jack and

• Do not connect cables to S-VIDEO jack and SCART connector.

If you do so, you will not be able to obtain correct signals from

the VIDEO (and COMPONENT VIDEO OUT) jacks.

• If your TV has a monaural audio input instead of stereo, you

need to use an optional audio cable which converts stereo

audio output to monaural.

C Connecting to a TV with an S-video jack

If your TV has an S-VIDEO input, you can get better picture

quality by connecting it with the S-VIDEO output of the player

using an S-video cable instead of connecting the video input of

the TV to the VIDEO jack of the unit.

NOTE

To obtain correct signals from the S-VIDEO output, do not

connect cables to the VIDEO jack, COMPONENT VIDEO OUT

jacks, and SCART connector of the player.

D Connecting to a TV with component jacks

You can enjoy picture of high-fidelity color reproduction by

connecting the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks on the player to

your TV.

Progressive scan video playback available

In the Progressive scanning mode, you can enjoy high quality

picture with less flickers when the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT

jacks are connected to a TV or monitor that supports the

progressive video input.

NOTES

• Connect “Y” to “Y,” “PB” to “PB” (CB), “PR” to “PR” (CR) correctly.

• Do not connect cables to S-VIDEO jack and SCART connector.

If you do so, you will not be able to obtain correct signals from

the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks.

• If your TV has component video input jacks of BNC type, use an

adapter which converts a pin jack to a BNC jack (not supplied).

Hint

Depending on the source material format, DVD VIDEO discs can

be classified into two types; film source and video source (note

that some DVD VIDEO discs contain both film source and video

source).

When the player plays back a film source material, Progressive

(uninterlaced) signals are created using the original information.

When a video source material is played back, the unit interleaves

lines between the interlaced lines on each to create the

interpolated picture and outputs as the progressive signal.

Progressive scanning mode. In such a case, use the Interlaced

scanning mode. To check the compatibility of your TV set,

contact your local JVC customer service center.

• All JVC progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets are fully

compatible with the player (Example: AV-61S902).

Connecting to a digital audio device

NOTES

You can enjoy sound of enhanced quality by connecting the

player’s DIGITAL OUT (either OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack to a

digital input of an amplifier, etc., using an optical or coaxial digital

cable. The digital audio signal on a disc will be transferred directly

from the player. If the connected digital audio equipment is a

Dolby Digital or DTS decoder or an amplifier with a built-in

decoder, you can enjoy high-quality surround sound.

• Connect the player and the digital audio device by using either

an optical digital cable or a coaxial digital cable.

• It is not recommended to use the digital jacks for dubbing.

When recording the sounds (DVD VIDEO, SVCD, Video CD or

Audio CD) played back on the player, record them through the

analog jacks.

• Depending on the disc, no signal may be output from the

DIGITAL OUT. Make an analog connection in this case.

• Set [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] in the [AUDIO] preference

display correctly according to the connected digital audio

equipment. If setting made for [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] is

incorrect, loud noise may be generated causing damage to

the speakers (see page 28).

Changing the resume mode

The player has three resume modes; ON, OFF and DISC

RESUME.

• You can select the mode using the preference display (see

page 28).

When the resume mode is “OFF”

Playback always starts from the beginning.

When the resume mode is “DISC RESUME”

The player memorizes interrupted positions for the last 30 discs

played. Storing a new interrupted position will erase the

interrupted position stored for the first disc.

The memory of the interrupted positions are not cleared even if

you open the disc tray or turn off the player.

NOTES

• If you change the [RESUME] setting from [DISC RESUME] to

[OFF] or [ON], you cannot resume playback of a disc whose

“resuming” position is stored. However, when you again set

[RESUME] to [DISC RESUME], you will then be able to resume

playback of the disc.

• If you interrupt the playback of a disc for which an interrupted

position has already been stored, the memory will be updated

with the new interrupted position.

3(SELECT)

• For a double-sided DVD VIDEO disc, the player regards each

side as a different disc. Therefore, to resume playback of such a

disc, the disc must be inserted with the same side down.

• When the player memorizes an iterrupted point for a disc, it also

memorizes Audio, Subtitle and Angle settings.

• The player may not resume playback exactly from the

interrupted point. In the case of an SVCD/Video CD disc with

PBC function, the player may resume playback from a point

slightly earlier or later than the point where playback was

interrupted.

About On-screen guide icons

You may see the following icons displayed over the picture.

They have the following meanings.

playback, as long as the disc you interrupted playback is still on

the disc tray.

This is because the player’s resume mode is set to ON when you

purchased the player.

: Appears at the beginning of playback mode.

: Appears at the beginning of pause mode.

When the resume mode is set to ON, the player memorizes the

position on a disc where you interrupted playback.

• When you press 7to interrupt playback, the TV screen shows

[RESUME STOP] and the [RESUME] indicator lights up in the

display window.

: Appears at the beginning of fast forward/backward

playback with the current speed (see page 13).

• When you re-start playback, the TV screen shows [RESUME

PLAY].

: Appears at the beginning of slow-motion playback

with the current speed (see page 13).

Hint

The memory of the interrupted position is not cleared even if you

turn off the player.

: Appears at the beginning of a scene recorded from

multiple angles (see page 18).

To play back from the beginning

Press 7while the disc is stopped.

The memory is cleared.

: Appears at the beginning of a scene recorded with

multiple audio languages (see page 18).

Then press 3(SELECT).

: Appears at the beginning of a scene recorded with

multiple subtitle languages (see page 17).

NOTES

• The player remembers the interrupted position even if you turn

the power off.

• The memory is cleared if you open the disc tray.

You can change the setting so that the on-screen guide icons

do not appear on the TV screen (see page 28).

About screen saver function

A television monitor may have an image burned into it if a static

image is displayed for a long time. To prevent this, the player

automatically activates the screen saver function if a static

picture, such as an on-screen display or menu, is displayed

while no button is pressed for over 5 minutes.

When the screen saver function is activated, the TV screen

gets darker.

Pressing any buttons will release the screen saver function.

You can set the screen saver function to ON or OFF (see page

Appendix D: Glossary

Aspect ratio

Interlaced scanning

A ratio which defines the shape of the rectangular picture in a TV.

It is the width of the picture relative to the height. A conventional

TV picture is 4:3 in aspect ratio.

In a conventional video system, a picture is shown on the display

monitor in between lines of two halves. The Interlaced scanning

system places lines of the second half of the picture in-between

lines of the first half of the picture.

Bitstream

JPEG

The digital form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1-channel)

A popular file format for still image compression and storage.

JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group.

There are three sub-types of the JPEG format as follows.

• baseline JPEG: used for digital cameras, the web, etc.

• progressive JPEG: used for the web

before it is decoded into its various channels.

Chapter/title

Chapter is the smallest division and title is the largest division on

DVD VIDEO. A chapter is a division of a title and similar to a track

for Video CD or Audio CD.

• lossless JPEG: an old type, rarely used now

Linear PCM audio

Component video

PCM stands for “pulse code modulation.” Linear PCM is the usual

method for digitally encoding audio without compression, and is

used for the audio tracks on DVD VIDEO discs, Audio CDs, etc.

Video signals with three channels of separate information that

makes up the picture. There are some types of component video,

such as R/G/B and Y/C^B(PB)/CR(PR).

MP3

Composite video

MP3 is an audio data compression format, which stands for

MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Using MP3, you can achieve a data

reduction of about 1:10.

A single video signal commonly used in most consumer video

products that contains all luminance, color, and synchronization

information.

MPEG Multichannel

Dolby Digital (AC3)

This feature expands the 5.1 channel audio format recorded on

the disc to a 7.1 channel format. The further expansion of the 5.1

channel audio makes it easy for you to reproduce the movie

theater experience in your own home.

A six-channel system consisting of left, center, right, left rear,

right rear and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect channel, for use with a

sub-woofer) channels. All processing is done in the digital

domain. Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channels of

information.

NTSC (National television system committee)

A black and white and color television system format used in the

U.S.A., Canada, Mexico and Japan.

Dolby Surround/Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Surround records four channels of front and rear audio in

two channels in a way that allows a decoder to recover the

original four channels for playback. Because the audio is

recorded in two channels, it can be played back naturally by a

two-channel stereo system.

PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)

A color television system format used extensively in Western

Europe.

PBC

Dolby Pro Logic introduces directional circuits in decoder-side

processing (increasing the level of specific channels and lowering

the level of silent channels) for greater spatial perspective, and

adds a center speaker used primarily for dialog. The result is

enhanced channel separation.

PBC stands for “Playback control” and is a method of controlling

disc play for Video CDs (VCD). You are able to interact with the

disc through menus.

Progressive scanning

Progressive scanning displays all the horizontal lines of a picture

at one time, as a single frame. A progressive scanning DVD

player converts the interlaced video from DVD into progressive

format for connection to a progressive display. It dramatically

increases the vertical resolution.

Down-mix

Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a DVD

player. The down-mix signals are output from stereo output

connectors.

DTS

RGB

A Digital Surround audio encoding format configured with six

(5.1) channels, similar to Dolby Digital. It requires a decoder,

either in the player or in an external receiver. DTS stands for

Digital Theater Systems.

An abbreviation for Red, Green and Blue. Color monitors and

color television sets display different hues by mixing these three

colors.

Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.

S-video

A video signal which improves picture quality over standard

composite connections. Used on Super VHS, DVD, high end TV

monitors, etc.

Dynamic range

The difference between the loudest and softest sounds.

Track

The smallest division on SVCD, Video CD and Audio CD discs.

WMA

WMA is an abbreviation of “Windows Media Audio,” and is an

audio data compression format developed by Microsoft

Corporation. Sound quality of data compressed using WMA is

the same as that of MP3, though the WMA file size is smaller

than that of MP3.
