Congratulations on your new Jamo DVR 50 Receiver
The many different functions provided by your new DVD receiver will be a source of pleasure for you for many
years to come. Naturally, you can play and watch DVD films with superb audio and visual quality.
You can watch films in many other formats than DVD, such as MPEG-4, XviD, DivX.
The audio features also give you the option of playing music CDs, MP3 or Ogg Vorbis files. The DVR 50 auto-
matically recognises each format and can read CD-RW and DVD-RW alike. Your new DVR 50 also supports
Picture CDs (jpg), which means that you can display your photos directly on the TV screen. This includes pic-
tures developed at the photo shop and any photos you have scanned and saved to a CD yourself.
Note: Do not use the DVD Receiver until you have studied the quick setup menu. To do so, the DVD Receiver must be connected to a TV set.

2Quick Setup
If your DVD Receiver is correctly connected (see the chapter on cable connections), a menu will appear when you turn
on the DVD Receiver. The menu installs the most important settings for your TV set and language.
Note: If this menu does not appear when you start the DVD Receiver, recheck the cable connections.
Note: Try connecting your TV set using the Composite Video cables. Composite Video always produces a picture.
Language
Select the language that will be used whenever
you open the DVR 50’s built-in menus. Use the
arrow buttons on the remote control to move
the rectangular frame to the language you wish
to select and press ENTER.
Video
Select the video connection your DVD receiver is
plugged with. Your options are SCART, S-Video
or Component video. Composite video is always
available, but the quality level is not as good as
the other connections.

10
TV
This screen presents two different types of TV
formats: 4:3 (normal) or 16:9 (wide screen).
Speaker Type
To get the best possible sound select the type of
front speakers you have connected.
You can always go back and start again if you happen to do something wrong, or if you wish to enter the Setup menu and edit it.
Note: Some 4:3 TV screens can display 16:9 format.

11
3Advanced Setup
You can always access the Setup menu and adjust the DVR 50 to your specific requirements and hardware. When the
Jamo logo appears on the main screen, press the SETUP button on your remote control, and a menu will appear with
the available options. The orange frame shows your position on the menu. Use the arrow buttons to move the frame
and select by pressing the ENTER button. The settings on some of the menus have already been determined under
Quick setup, but there are several settings available under Advanced setup as well.
Language Settings
The first menu is the Language settings menu.
Here you select the language you wish to use
for the menus, that will appear on the screen,
and your preferred language when playing a
DVD film – for subtitles, speech and menus
(they will only be used if the film supports the
language). You can select more DVD languages
by selecting and entering a country code from
the table shown on appendix.
Video Settings
You can select the TV type (16:9 or 4:4 format),
video system (Pal or NTSC) and video connec-
tion where SCART, S-Video or Component video
is available. Composite video is always avail-
able.
Note: Progressive scan only works on Component video output. This connection
gives the best video quality .

12
Audio Settings
Jamo has tuned the product to give you the best
possible sound experience (Jamo Reference).
Under acoustic setup, you can neutralize these
settings or enhance them further by selecting
dynamic sound. Speaker size is used to make the
right base management. When using small front
speakers, try to place the subwoofer between
the front speakers. Speakers level let you
change the level on the speakers individually.
Select the channel you want to change and use
the volume buttons to adjust up and down.
External Input Setup
For external sources (TV, video and auxiliary),
you must define which plugs are used for the
audio connection. For each source, the input
plugs can be: Analog, SCART, Digital optical,
Digital coaxial.
Miscellaneous Settings
This display lets you set your preferred level of
protection on the films. Some films are divided
into levels, so that parents can prevent their
children from seeing a specific type of film. In
the next menu item, you create a password that
is required for editing this setup*. The light in
the DVD Receiver’s display can be modified from
dim to normal or bright. All settings can be reset
in the “Restore settings” menu, and the Quick
setup can be re-initiated from the last menu.
*If you wish to modify this setup later on, you
must re-enter the password.
To leave a menu, press the left arrow on the remote control.

ing enter.
DivX, XviD and MPEG-4
