Getting started

Connections

• In the following despription, “TV” may be substituted with “monitor” or “projector.”
• Before using the unit, you have to connect the unit to a TV and/or amplifier.

Before making any 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.

To connect to a TV
You can enjoy using the unit by simply connecting it to a TV. To improve audio sound quality, connect the audio outputs to your separate audio equipment. (See the following pages.)

• If the TV has an AV COMPU LINK terminal, see “ AV COMPU LINK remote control system” on page 39.

Connect the unit to a TV equipped with stereo audio input and video input jacks using the supplied audio/video cables.

• 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.
• If your TV has an S-video input, you should connect it with the S-VIDEO output of the unit using the supplied S- video cable in addition to the (standard) video connection to get better picture quality.

The unit is compatible with the PAL and NTSC color systems. Set the PAL/NTSC switch on the rear panel to match the color system of your TV. Make sure that the color system of the DVD/Video CD/SVCD disc labeled on the package matches your TV.
NOTE

• Connect VIDEO OUT of the unit directly to the video input of your TV. Connecting VIDEO OUT of the unit to a TV via a VCR may cause a monitor problem when playing back a copy-protected disc.

To connect to an audio amplifier or receiver
You can enjoy high-quality audio by connecting the unit’s audio output to your amplifier or receiver.

• Connect the unit’s AUDIO OUT to any line-level inputs (such as AUX, DVD, CD, etc.) of an audio amplifier or receiver.

To connect to audio equipment with a digital input
You can enhance the sound quality by connecting the unit’s DIGITAL OUT (optical) to the digital input of an amplifier, DAT or MD by using an optional digital cable. The digital stereo audio signal from a disc is directly transferred. If you connect the unit to a Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG multichannel decoder or an amplifier with a built-in decoder by using an optional digital cable, you can enjoy high-quality surround sound.
When you make the digital connection, also make the analog connection, because, depending on the disc type, no audio may be reproduced from the DIGITAL OUT.

• For digital connection, connect the unit’s DIGITAL OUT (optical) to the digital input of an audio equipment using an optional digital cable.

NOTES

• When you connect the unit’s DIGITAL OUT to digital audio equipment, before using, make the “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” setting in the “PREFERENCE 2” on-screen display correctly according to the connected audio equipment. If the “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” is not set correctly, loud noise may be generated from speakers, causing damage to your speakers. See “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” on page 35.
• With the digital connection, the unit’s settings for COMPRESSION and DOWN MIX are invalid. Settings for these items must be made from the decoder.

Additional information

AV COMPU LINK remote control system
When you buy a separate TV, VCR, DVD player, receiver, or other components and connect them to each other, you have to operate each component individually. JVC’s AV COMPU LINK remote control system meets the demand for a system made up of single components and has the ease of operation of a single unit.
Connection and setup
Using the AV COMPU LINK cable, connect the AV COMPU LINK terminals of each component to one another.

• If you connect a DVD player with a television via AV COMPU LINK, set the DVD player’s AV COMPU LINK setting as follows.
• When connecting with VIDEO-1 input terminal of the television: DVD2
• When connecting with VIDEO-2 input terminal of the television: DVD3
• If you connect a DVD player with a television and VCR via AV COMPU LINK, set the VCR’s Remote Control Code and DVD player’s AV COMPU LINK setting as follows.
• When connecting with VIDEO-1 input terminal of the television: DVD player’s AV COMPU LINK setting: DVD2 VCR’s Remote Control Code: B
• When connecting with VIDEO-2 input terminal of the television: DVD player’s AV COMPU LINK setting: DVD3 VCR’s Remote Control Code: A
• If you connect a DVD player with a television and receiver via AV COMPU LINK, set the DVD player’s AV COMPU LINK setting to DVD1.
• The DVD player’s AV COMPU LINK setting is operated in the “ PREFERENCE” display. See page 37 for operation.
• About the connection between the TV and the Receiver, refer to Receiver’s Instructions.

Notes for connection

• If you connect a DVD player with a receiver via AV COMPU LINK in a system including a Dolby digital decoder, some functions may not be performed automatically.
• The AV COMPU LINK terminal on some televisions indicates “II”. Do not connect the terminal indicating “II” with the AV COMPU LINK terminal on a receiver. If connected, the system will not work correctly.
• Connect the AUDIO OUT jacks of the DVD player to the audio input jacks of a receiver indicating “DVD”. Otherwise, the system will not work correctly.
• There is no description about connections to a DVD player in the instruction manual of a television or VCR. But a television or VCR with AV COMPU LINK terminals indicating “II” or “EX” can be connected to a DVD player.

Operation
You can enjoy pictures and/or sound by just putting a source component (which plays back the pictures and/or sound such as a DVD player or VCR) into play mode. You do not have to operate the TV and receiver including not having to perform power switching.

1. Turn on the main power of the television.
2. Insert a disc into the source component.
3. Press ▶ of the source component.

The following actions are performed automatically:

• Turning on the power for the television.
• Setting the source of the television to the external input (VIDEO-1 or VIDEO-2).
• Turning on the power for the receiver.
• Setting the source of the receiver to the component which has started playback.

Care and handling of discs
How to handle discs
When handling a disc, do not touch the surface of the disc. Since discs are made of plastic, they are easily damaged. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the images and sound will not be picked up correctly, and such a disc may cause the player to malfunction.

Label side
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive on its surface.
Storage
Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on top of one another without their protective cases, they can be damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!
Maintenance of discs
If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving from the center outwards.
If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water.
Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-static agents.

CAUTION
Sometimes during play noise or images may be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to industry standards.)
These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of the unit.

What appears to be a malfunction may not always be serious. Please go through the following list before requesting service.
