Each precaution in this manual should be followed during servicing.
Components identified with the IEC symbol in the parts list are special significance to safety. When replacing a component identified with
, use only the replacement parts designated, or parts with the same ratings or resistance, wattage, or voltage that are designated in the
parts list in this manual. Leakage-current or resistance measurements must be made to determine that exposed parts are acceptably
insulated from the supply circuit before retuming the product to the customer.
Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called
Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field effect transistors and
semiconductor "chip" components.
The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.
1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any electrostatic charge on
your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available discharging wrist strap device,
which should be removed for potential shock reasons prior to applying power to the unit under test.
2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ES devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface such as aluminum foil, to
prevent electrostatic charge build-up or exposure of the assembly.
3. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder ES devices.
4. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as "anti-static" can generate electrical charges
sufficient to damage ES devices.
5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical change sufficient to damage ES devices.
6. Do not remove a replacement ES device from its protective package until immediately before you are ready to install it. (Most replacement
ES devices are packaged with leads electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil or comparable conductive material.)
7. Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ES device, touch the protective material to the
chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be installed.
Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or circuit, and observe all other safety precautions.
8. Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged replacement ES devices. (Otherwise harmless motion such as the brushing together
or your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity sufficient to damage an ES devices.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following check should be performed for the continued
protection of the customer and service technician.
LEAKAGE CURRENT CHECK
Measure leakage current to a known earth ground (water
pipe, conduit, etc.) by connecting a leakage current tester
between the earth ground and all exposed metal parts of the
appliance (input/output terminals, screwheads, metal
overlays, control shaft, etc.). Plug the AC line cord of the
appliance directly into a 120V AC 60Hz outlet and turn the
AC power switch on. Any current measured must not exceed
o.5mA.
ANY MEASUREMENTS NOT WITHIN THE LIMITS
OUTLINED ABOVE ARE INDICATIVE OF A
POTENTIAL SHOCK HAZARD AND MUST BE
CORRECTED BEFORE RETURNING THE APPLIANCE
TO THE CUSTOMER.

SOURCE line to adjust it). Scroll down
to the VIDEO INPUT line and
select it to configure the CVR700 to use
the video input you connected your
device to.
%Headphones Jack: This jack may
be used to listen to the CVR700's output
through a pair of headphones. Be certain
that the headphones have a standard
1/4" stereo phone plug, or that you use
an adapter, as needed, to convert the
plug on your headphones to the 1/4" jack
used on the CVR700. When the head-
phone jack is in use, the main room
speakers will automatically be turned off
and the unit will output a standard stereo
signal. For more information on head-
phone listening, see page 60.
^Front-Panel Door: The door may
be closed to hide the front-panel jacks
when they are not in use for a smoother
appearance. To open the door, gently
push on the bottom of the door in the
center to swing it down towards you, or
gently pull on the upper right corner. Push
upward on it to close.
&Source Selector: Rotate this knob
to scroll through the available input
sources. Turn the knob slowly and gently,
and you will feel a soft click as each
source is engaged. You may also hear a
click as the CVR700’s electrical circuits
engage the source. This is normal, and
assures you that you have correctly
selected the source. The name of the
source will be displayed in the Upper
Display Line H, and in a Status Banner
on screen, together with the source’s
audio input (for external sources) and
video format.
*Surround Mode Selector: Press
this button repeatedly to scroll through
the available surround modes. The modes
available will depend on the number of
speakers in the system and whether the
input is analog or digital. See page 60 for
more information on surround modes.
NOTE: 6.1 and 7.1 digital modes are
available only when the appropriate digi-
tal bitstream is present.
(Input Select Button: After you have
selected the desired input source, press
this button repeatedly to scroll through
the analog, optical digital and coaxial
digital audio inputs available for that
source.
ÓVolume Control: Turn this knob
clockwise to increase the volume, coun-
terclockwise to decrease the volume. If
the CVR700 is muted, adjusting the vol-
ume control will automatically release
the unit from the silenced condition.
ÔInformation Display: This display
delivers messages and status information
to help you operate the CVR700. See
page 19 for a complete explanation of
the display.
Remote Sensor Window: The sen-
sor behind this window receives infrared
signals from the remote control that are
intended to control the non-video func-
tions of the CVR700 only. Aim the remote
at this area and do not block or cover
it unless an external remote sensor is
installed. Note that unless the CVR700
is not being used with the CVPD50, it is
best to aim the remote at the LED light
on the front of the CVPD50 plasma dis-
play, as the IR receiver located there can
accept remote control signals intended
for both the plasma display and the
CVR700.

CVR700 FRONT-PANEL INFORMATION DISPLAY
ADisc-Type Indicators: The DVD,
DVD-Audio, CD, VCD or MP3 indicator
will light to show the type of disc cur-
rently being played. WMA and JPEG
discs will be identified in the Upper and
Lower Display Lines EH.
BPCM Bitstream Indicators: The
PCM indicator will light when a PCM
(pulse code modulation) bitstream is
detected. PCM bitstreams are used on
audio CDs, and may also be found on
other disc types either as the main audio
format or as the format used on certain
portions of the disc, such as a “making
of” featurettes on a DVD. The 96K or
192K indicators will light when a high-
resolution audio signal is detected. This
type of audio track may be found on
some DVD-Audio discs.
CProgrammed Play Indicators: The
CVR700 is capable of playing discs in a
programmed order other than the order in
which the tracks are found on the disc.
Tracks may be played in random order,
or you may program some or all of the
tracks on a CD to play in a playlist order.
In addition, you may program the CVR700
to repeat play of some of the tracks on a
disc, an entire disc, all discs, or a pro-
grammed playlist. Some of the pro-
grammed modes may not be available
for certain disc formats. See page 75
for more information.
DDisc Indicators: The circled num-
bers will light to indicate the positions of
loaded discs, and the indicator for the
current disc will flash.
ELower Display Line: Depending on
the unit’s status, a variety of messages
will appear here. In normal operation, the
current surround mode will appear on
this line.
FSpeaker/Channel Input Indicators:
These indicators are multipurpose, indicat-
ing both the speaker type selected for
each channel and the incoming data signal
configuration. The left, center, right, right
surround and left surround speaker indica-
tors are composed of two boxes, while the
subwoofer is a single box. The inner box
lights when a “small” speaker is selected,
and the outer boxes light when “large”
speakers are selected. When none of the
boxes are lit for the center, surround or
subwoofer channels, no speaker has been
assigned that position. (See page 48 for
more information on configuring speakers.)
The letters inside each box display the
active input channels. For standard analog
inputs, only the L and R will light, indicat-
ing a stereo input. For a digital source, the
indicators will light to display the channels
being received at the digital input. When
the letters flash, the digital input has been
interrupted. When a 6.1-channel bitstream
is detected, a horizontal line will appear
between the icons for the surround back
left and right channels to indicate that
these two channels are in mono mode.
(See page 61 for more information on the
Channel Indicators.)
GSurround Mode Indicators: One of
these indicators will light to show the
surround mode in use. Depending on the
specific combination of input sources and
surround mode selected, more than one
indicator may light. (See page 61 for
more information.)
HUpper Display Line: Depending on
the unit’s status, a variety of messages
will appear here. In normal operation,
this line will show the current input
source and identify whether an analog
or digital input is in use. When the tuner
is selected as the input, this line will
identify the station as AM or FM and
show the frequency and preset number,
if any.
IProgressive Scan Indicator: This
indicator lights when the CVR700’s
progressive scan component video output
is activated.
JAspect Ratio Indicators: The
aspect ratio of the incoming video signal
will light. These indicators are informa-
tional only and reflect the aspect ratio
information provided by the DVD disc
itself. You may need or wish to make
manual adjustments to display the
images so that they fill the screen, or if
you prefer to avoid any scaling or crop-
ping of the images, you may wish to let-
terbox the image. See pages 13 and 27
for more information on adjusting the
CVPD50 display to compensate for vari-
ous aspect ratio issues.

terminal should be connected to the
red (+) terminal on the Side Surround/
Surround Right speaker with the older
color-coding. Connect the black (–) termi-
nals on the CVR700 to the matching black
negative (–) terminals for each side sur-
round speaker. (See page 42 for more
information on speaker polarity.)
£Center Speaker Outputs: Connect
these outputs to the matching + and –
terminals on your center channel speaker.
In conformance with the CEA color-code
specification, the green terminal is the
positive (+) terminal that should be con-
nected to the red (+) terminal on speakers
with the older color-coding. Connect the
black (–) terminal on the CVR700 to the
black negative (–) terminal on the speaker.
(See page 42 for more information.)
¢Front Speaker Outputs: Connect
these outputs to the matching + or – ter-
minals on your left and right speakers.
When making speaker connections
always make certain to maintain correct
polarity by connecting the color-coding
(white for front left and red for front
right) (+) terminals on the CVR700 to the
red (+) terminals on the speakers and
black (–) terminals on the CVR700 to the
black terminals on the speakers (see
page 42 for more information).
∞Fan Slots: These ventilation holes
are the output of the CVR700’s airflow
system. To ensure proper operation of the
unit and to avoid possible damage to del-
icate surfaces, make certain that these
holes are not blocked and that there is at
least three inches of open space between
the vent holes and any wooden or fabric
surface. It is equally important to make
sure that the holes in the top and bottom
covers of the unit are not blocked, either.
It is normal for the fan to remain on at
all times at one of three speeds,
depending on the selection you make in
the ADVANCED SETTINGS
submenu. By selecting the default
MINIMUM NOISE setting, the fan
will run at its slowest speed at volumes
below –20dB, and at its slightly faster
medium speed at higher volumes. This
setting should only be selected when
the CVR700 is placed on a shelf and
not within an enclosed space. When
the CVR700 is placed inside a cabinet
or other enclosed space, select the
MAXIMUM COOLING setting, in
which the fan will always be on at its
highest setting.
§Subwoofer Output: Connect this
jack to the line-level input of a powered
subwoofer. If an external subwoofer
amplifier is used, connect this jack to
the subwoofer amplifier input. Use a
Y-adaptor when connecting two sub-
woofers.
¶DVI/Computer Analog Audio
Inputs: Connect the left/right analog
audio outputs of a computer or other
device with a DVI output to these jacks
to benefit from the CVR700’s surround
processor for added realism and excite-
ment when playing computer games,
or giving multimedia presentations, or
for other uses. When you have also
connected the computer’s DVI video out-
put to the DVI/Computer Video Input
, you may also benefit from the
superior visual presentation of the JBL
Cinema Vision CVPD50 screen.
You may connect any device with left and
right analog audio outputs to these jacks.
•Auxilliary Analog Audio/Video
Inputs: Connect the left/right analog
audio and composite or S-video jacks of a
video device to these jacks. You may con-
nect any video source such as a VCR,
HDTV receiver, or other device to these
inputs. Note that if the source device
offers digital audio capability, that con-
nection must be made separately, and the
CVR700 configured accordingly. Note that
the Auxiliary Source Input does not have
component video inputs assigned to it
and thus may only be used with compos-
ite or S-video. Therefore, if possible, it
is recommended that an HDTV receiver
be used with the Cable/Sat or even the
Digital Recorder source, so that a compo-
nent video connection may be made. (See
page 46 for more information on configur-
ing an input for various source options.)
ªDigital Recorder Analog
Audio/Video Inputs: Connect the
left/right analog audio and composite
or S-video PLAY/OUT jacks of a video
recording device such as a VCR, DVD-
Recorder or personal video recorder to
these jacks. The CVR700’s remote control
has a variety of digital recorders avail-
able as the default devices for this input,
but you may connect any video source
such as a VCR, HDTV or cable set-top
box, personal video recorder, or other
device to these inputs. Note that if the
source device offers either digital audio
or component video capability, those con-
nections must be made separately, and
the CVR700 configured accordingly. (See
page 46 for more information on configur-
ing an input for various source options.)
‚Digital Recorder Analog Audio/
Video Outputs: Connect the left/right
analog audio and composite or S-video
RECORD/IN jacks of a video recording
device such as a DVD-Recorder, personal
video recorder or VCR to these jacks.
⁄VCR Analog Audio/Video Inputs:
Connect the left/right analog audio and
composite or S-video PLAY/OUT jacks of
a video recording device such as a VCR,
DVD-Recorder or personal video recorder
to these jacks.
¤ VCR Analog Audio/Video Outputs:
Connect the left/right analog audio and
composite or S-video RECORD/IN jacks of
a video recording device such as a VCR,
DVD-Recorder or personal video recorder
to these jacks.
The CVR700’s remote control has a VCR
as the default device for this input, but
you may connect any video source such
as an HDTV or cable set-top box, personal
video recorder, or other device to these
inputs. Note, however, that the VCR
source is not associated with any digital
audio inputs or component video inputs,
and should therefore only be used as a
last resort for devices that have those
capabilities. The preferred system config-
uration is to connect an HDTV tuner or
digital cable or satellite receiver to the
Cable/Sat source, and to connect a per-
sonal video recorder, such as a TiVo,
®to
the Digital Recorder source.
‹Cable/Satellite Analog
Audio/Video Inputs: Connect the
left/right analog audio and composite or
S-video jacks of a video device to these
jacks. The CVR700’s remote control has
a cable, satellite or HDTV set-top as the
default devices available for this input,
but you may connect any video source
such as a VCR, HDTV or satellite receiver,
personal video recorder, or other device
to these inputs. Note that if the source
device offers either digital audio or com-
ponent video capability, those connec-
tions must be made separately, and the
CVR700 configured accordingly.

screen status messages, and all digital
video post-processing – including scaling,
de-interlacing, and upconversion features
of the CVR700 – are only available when
used with CVPD50.
fiRemote IR Output: This connection
permits the IR sensor in the receiver to
serve other remote controlled devices.
Connect this jack to the “IR IN” jack on
JBL (or other compatible) equipment.
flRemote IR Input: If the CVR700’s
front-panel IR sensor is blocked due to cab-
inet doors or other obstructions, an exter-
nal IR sensor may be used. Connect the
output of the sensor to this jack.
NOTE: The remote IR input and output on
the CVR700 are only used for non-video
functions, and will have no effect on the
CVPD50 plasma display. JBL recommends
that you point the remote control at the
LED light on the front of the CVPD50 dis-
play for all functions, as the CVPD50 will
pass any non-video command codes to
the CVR700.
‡Component Video Digital
Recorder Inputs: These inputs may
be used with any video source device
equipped with analog Y/Pr/Pb component
video outputs. These jacks are perma-
nently linked to the Digital Recorder
Source input.
°Component Video Cable/Satellite

any video source device equipped with
analog Y/Pr/Pb component video out-
puts. These jacks are permanently linked
to the Cable/Satellite source input.
·Component Video Monitor
Outputs: If you are not using the
CVPD50, or if you desire a secondary
video display, connect these outputs to
the component video inputs of a video
projector or monitor. When a source con-
nected to one of the Component Video
Inputs ‡° is selected, the signal will
be sent to these jacks.
NOTE: The CVR700 is optimized to be
used with the CVPD50 High-Definition
Plasma Display. Composite, S-video and
component video monitor outputs on the
CVR700 are provided as a means of con-
necting an auxiliary display only. On-

de-interlacing, and upconversion features
of the CVR700 – are only available when
used with CVPD50.
aPicture-in-Picture (PIP)
Composite Video Input: Connect the
composite video output of a video device
that you would like to have available for
picture-in-picture (PIP) viewing using the
JBL Cinema Vision CVPD50 screen. When
the PIP function is activated, the signal
fed to this jack will appear within a small
field over the main program visible on
the plasma screen. Except for the DVI/
Computer source, the PIP view may also
be available as a split screen. Use the
Screen menu system to configure the PIP
view. When the main source is HD com-
ponent video (480p or better), the PIP
function is not available.
The PIP source must be able to output
composite video simultaneously with
its main method of connection to the
CVR700. If the PIP device is connected
via its composite video output to a source
input on the CVR700, a Y-Cable will be
required to connect to both the main
source input jack and the PIP input.

CVR700R2 REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTE: The JBL Cinema
Vision remotes are powerful devices
capable of controlling virtually your entire
home cinema system. In comparison to a
traditional system of the same capabili-
ties, these remotes can replace up to 10
separate remote controls and therefore
end the confusion and clutter associated
with having a different remote for each
of your system components. In order to
achieve this goal, the JBL Cinema Vision
remotes are designed to assume the
duties of controlling different devices
within your system by first pressing one
of the 10 Selector Buttons dfg
. Pressing one of these
buttons places your remote control in a
different “page”, where the remote but-
tons are assigned control functions avail-
able for that specific purpose. For exam-
ple, all internal DVD changer functions
are accessed by pressing the DVD
Button dfirst, and all CVPD50
Plasma Display functions are accessed
by pressing the Screen Button e
first, and all overall audio and system
commands for the CVR700 are accessed
by first pressing the System Button f
. Throughout this manual, you will
see references to the system being active
in DVD, SYSTEM, SCREEN, CABLE/SAT,
or other modes. This means that one of
these 10 keys is to be pressed first to
place your remote in the prescribed mode
before accessing any specific controls. It
is important to always remember to press
the appropriate page selection button
before trying to access any specific func-
tions for a system or source. This may
take a little bit of discipline and practice
at first, but it should become second
nature in a very short time.
NOTES:
• The function names shown here are
each button’s function when used with
the CVR700 (System), its internal DVD
changer (DVD/Main) and the CVPD50
(Screen). Most buttons have additional
functions when used with other
devices, and some of these functions
may be assigned to different buttons,
depending on which device was select-
ed. The device name will appear in the
upper line of the LCD Information
Display 2and the function
assigned to that device will appear in
the lower line when the button is
pressed. See pages 89 through 91 for a
list of the functions assigned to each
button for each device type.
• Some buttons have special functions
when they are pressed and held for 3
seconds.
• The jack on the upper right side of the
remote is reserved for future use. Do
not remove the plug provided or con-
nect any device to the jack.
• To make it easier to follow the instruc-
tions that refer to this illustration, a
larger copy may be downloaded from
the Product Support section for this
product at www.jbl.com.
• The JBL Cinema Vision main remote
control may be programmed to control
up to eight devices, including the
CVR700 receiver with disc changer and
the CVPD50 screen. Before using the
remote, it is important to press the
Input Selector 3that corresponds
to the device you wish to operate.
• The remote is capable of operating a
wide variety of products made by other
manufacturers using control codes that
are programmed into the remote’s code
library. As described on pages 76–78,
it is simple to program the remote to
operate your device by selecting the
device type and brand, and then pro-
gramming the correct set of codes for
that brand.

5is active, press this button to select
from among the available Logic 7 sur-
round modes. (See page 62 for descrip-
tions of the various surround modes.)
When the Screen Selector 4is
active, press this button to select the
CVPD50 picture settings that were preset
at the factory for optimal viewing of
sporting events.
NOTE: The Sports/Broadcast/ Movies
Buttons imn optimize pic
ture
settings for a specific viewing medium.
The Broadcast settings are the most neu-
tral, balanced and accurate, and are opti-
mized for clarity. The Movies settings are
softer and less bright. The Sports settings
are more vibrant and optimized for fast-
moving action.
9SPL Select Button: This button
activates the EzSet function to quickly
and accurately calibrate the speaker out-
put levels. The EzSet remote also has a
manual SPL meter function to assist with
manual setting of the output levels, or
trimming the settings to an external
source. See page 51 for more information
on EzSet.

port controls.
MRecord/Stop/Pause Transport
Controls: These buttons have no func-
tion in the System or Screen modes, but
are used with sources such as the inter-
nal disc changer or external DVD or CD
players, tape or digital recorders or VCRs.
When the internal disc changer is in use,
pressing the Stop button once will place
a DVD in resume mode, meaning that you
may press the Play Button eto con-
tinue playing the disc from the point
where it was stopped. If you press the
Stop button twice, play will resume from
the beginning of the disc. Pressing the
Pause Button wwill pause play,
allowing you to step frame by frame for-
ward through a DVD with each additional
press of the Pause Button w. Press
the Play Button e, to resume normal
play, or press the Stop Button wto
stop.
NStatus/Settings Button: This but-
ton has different functions, depending on
which device is in use.
Press it to display the CVR700 system’s
status, or an external DVD recorder’s
status.
When the internal disc changer or tuner,
or an external cable television box is in
use, press this button to access the cur-
rent settings for the device.
For digital VCRs and game consoles, this
button performs the Back function. For
some PVRs/DVRs this button performs
the Instant Replay function.
OTitle/Freeze Button: This button’s
function differs, depending on whether
the internal disc changer (DVD/Main
mode) or the Screen mode is active. To
use this button, be careful to press only
on the upper portion of the button, as
other functions are accessed by pressing
on the lower portion of the button.
In DVD/Main mode, press this button
while a disc is playing to display the cur-
rent title number. Press it again to jump
to the next numbered title on the disc.
This function may be available even
when the disc’s software prohibits title-
jumping using the Forward/Reverse
Skip Buttons Jh. Many DVD-Audio
discs require you to press this button to
access the disc menu.
In Screen mode, you may use this button
to pause playback of the video picture
while allowing the audio playback to con-
tinue uninterrupted, enabling you to cap-
ture an instance or frame of the video.
PRandom/Letterbox Button: This
button’s function differs, depending on
whether the internal disc changer
(DVD/Main mode) or the Screen mode is
active. To use this button, be careful to
press only on the upper portion of the
button, as other functions are accessed
by pressing on the lower portion of the
button.
In DVD/Main mode, press this button for
playback in random order. The Random
function is not available when playing
DVD-Audio or DVD-Video discs unless a
playlist has been programmed, and it is
not available at all for JPEG discs.
In Screen mode, when using the internal
DVD changer, this button is only active if
the Auto Resize feature is turned off via
the SCREEN MENU (see page 57). This
button performs the Letterbox function,
which enables you to adjust the screen to
eliminate black bars that may appear on
the top and bottom or sides of the image
due to the aspect ratio of the program
material differing from the 16:9 aspect
ratio of the CVPD50. In most cases, the
CVR700’s video processor is able to auto-
matically detect the aspect ratio setting
of the program material and adjust the
display automatically to fill the screen.
However, in some cases the material may
be a movie displayed in
widescreen
(2.35:1) format, or the material
may not
contain embedded information necessary
for the CVR700 to make an automatic
adjustment. The available letterbox
modes are:
16:9 – This setting is used to display 16:9
program material in the full-screen 16:9
mode on the CVPD50. This setting will
also apply a linear (consistent) stretch to
a 4:3 picture.
4:3 LTRBOX TO 16:9 – This mode is used
to adjust an image which is designed to
display a 16:9 movie on a 4:3 screen. In
order to preserve the full width of the
movie on a narrower screen, the image
is reduced in size and black bars appear
above and below it. This setting zooms
in on the image, enabling it to fill the
CVPD50’s 16:9 screen without losing any
portion of the image. The image is simply
enlarged so that its two sides fit the
edges of the CVPD50 16:9 screen and the
black bars on top and bottom are cropped
off. The image is stretched in a linear
fashion (evenly throughout the frame).
2.35 LB TO 16:9 NL – This mode is used
to adjust an image from a widescreen
film which is actually at a wider ratio
than the CVPD50’s 16:9 ratio. In order to
fit on the smaller screen, the image is
compressed in a nonlinear fashion, but no
portion of the image is lost.
2.35 LB TO 16:9 CROPPED – This mode
is an alternative adjustment for a
widescreen film. The image is not com-
pressed or scaled in any way, but the
outer edges are cropped, sacrificing a
slight amount of the original content in
exchange for 100% accurate image pro-
portions.
4:3 HDTV TO 16:9 – As HDTV is new to
the broadcast industry and there is still a
considerable amount of older 4:3 stan-
dard recording and broadcast equipment
in use, 4:3 material is sometimes broad-
cast in HD 16:9 format with black or
other color bars on its sides. Since these
bars are a part of the actual picture, con-
ventional picture resizing techniques do
not work in eliminating them. This setting
is specifically designed to address this
problem. It first crops the bars off the
sides of the 16:9 picture to render it a 4:3
picture, and then performs a natural-look-
ing nonlinear stretch to fill the entire 16:9
screen.

The Letterbox adjustment is temporary
and will only apply to that disc. We
encourage you to experiment with the
modes to find one that suits you for a
given presentation.
Additional aspect ratio adjustments are
available using the Frame Button Q.
QRepeat/Frame Button: This but-
ton’s function differs depending on
whether the internal disc changer (DVD/
Main mode) or the Screen mode is active.
To use this button, be careful to press
only on the lower portion of the button,
as other functions are accessed by press-
ing on the upper portion of the button.
In DVD mode, pressing this buttons
accesses the Repeat functions. You may
repeat a chapter, track, title, disc, file or
programmed playlist. For JPEG discs, you
may repeat one file or one folder, but the
repeat disc function is not available.
In Screen mode, when using the internal
DVD changer, this button is only active if
the Auto Resize feature is turned off via
the SCREEN MENU. This button performs
the Frame function, which enables you to
set the desired aspect ratio for viewing
program materials, independent of the
aspect ratio encoded on the disc. The
following settings are available:
16:9 – This setting is used to display 16:9
program material in the full-screen 16:9
mode on the CVPD50.
4:3 TO 16:9 NL – This mode adjusts a 4:3
aspect ratio image to fill the CVPD50’s
6:9 screen while creating a more natural-
looking picture. This is accomplished by
stretching the two sides of the picture
more than the center of the picture where
most of the content is.
4:3 LTRBOX TO 16:9 – This mode is used
to adjust an image which is designed to
display a 16:9 movie on a 4:3 screen. In
order to preserve the full width of the
movie on a narrower screen, the image
is reduced in size and black bars appear
above and below it. This setting zooms
in on the image, enabling it to fill the
CVPD50’s 16:9 screen without losing
any portion of the image. The image is
simply enlarged so that its two sides fit
the edges of the CVPD50 16:9 screen and
the black bars on top and bottom are
cropped off.
2.35 LB TO 16:9 NL – This mode is used
to adjust an image from a widescreen
film which is actually at a wider ratio
than the CVPD50’s 16:9 ratio. In order to
fit on the smaller screen, the image is
compressed, but no portion of the image
is lost.
2.35 LB TO 16:9 CROPPED – This mode
is an alternative adjustment for a
widescreen film. The image is not com-
pressed or scaled in any way, but the
outer edges are cropped, sacrificing a
slight amount of the original content in
exchange for 100% accurate image pro-
portions.
4:3 HDTV TO 16:9 – As HDTV is new to
the broadcast industry, and there is still
a lot of older 4:3 standard recording and
broadcast equipment in use, 4:3 material
is sometimes broadcast in HD 16:9 for-
mat with black or other color bars on its
sides. Since these bars are a part of the
actual picture, conventional picture resiz-
ing techniques do not work in eliminating
them. This setting is specifically designed
to address this problem. It first crops the
bars off of the sides of the 16:9 picture to
render it a 4:3 picture, and then performs
a natural-looking nonlinear stretch to fill
the entire 16:9 screen.
4:3 – This mode may be used with pro-
grams that are known to be in the 4:3
aspect ratio. The image’s original aspect
ratio is preserved unaltered, and black
bars will appear on the left and right
sides of the image to fill the CVPD50’s
16:9 aspect ratio screen.
The difference between the Frame and
Letterbox functions is that the Frame
function allows access to the 4:3 and
4:3 TO 16:9 NL modes, which are mainly
useful for materials originating in the
4:3 format.
NOTE:The Letterbox and Frame func-
tions are not available with the internal
DVD/CD changer unless the DVD Auto
Resize function has been turned off using
the screen setup menus. See page 57 for
more information.
RA-B/Auto Button: This button’s
function differs depending on whether
the internal disc changer (DVD/Main
mode) or the Screen mode is active. To
use this button, be careful to press only
on the lower portion of the button, as
other functions are accessed by pressing
on the upper portion of the button.
In the DVD mode, press this button once
to select the beginning (point A), and
again to select the end (point B) of a pas-
sage you wish to play repeatedly. Press
the button again to end repeat playback.
A-B repeat play is not available for VCD,
MP3, WMA or JPEG discs.
In the Screen mode, this button selects
automatic detection of the aspect ratio of
program material from external sources,
with playback in the 16:9 format. It will
display 4:3 images stretched to fill the
16:9 screen. This function is not available
with HD (480p or better) signals. If the
4:3 image is in letterbox format, with
bars at the top and bottom of the screen,
those bars will remain. See pages 13 and
27 for more information on configuring
aspect ratios.
SProgram/PVR Replay Button: In
the DVD/Main mode, press this button
to access the screen for programming
playlists. When a PVR (personal video
recorder) is in use, press this button for
replay of recorded materials. Refer to
your PVR’s owner’s manual for more
information.
TDisc Skip/PVR List Button: In the
DVD/Main mode, press this button to
begin play of the next available disc in
the changer. When a PVR is in use, press
this button to list recorded materials.
Refer to your PVR’s owner’s manual for
more information.
UAudio/Screen Saver Button: This
button has different functions depending
on whether it is pressed in DVD/Main
mode or Screen mode.
In DVD/Main mode, pressing this button
accesses the available audio soundtracks
on a DVD. In some cases, the disc may
simply contain different languages. Other
discs may switch the audio format: e.g.,
to linear PCM or Dolby Digital 5.1.
Pressing this button may sometimes pro-
vide access to commentary soundtracks.
In Screen mode, pressing this button
places the CVPD50 display in Screen
Saver mode, in which a JBL logo will
appear to move around the screen. It is
important to turn on the Screen Saver
any time a still image is likely to remain
on screen for more than a few minutes,
because a still image, such as a menu
display, may be “burned” into the display,
causing permanent damage to the plasma
screen that is not covered under warranty.
This danger is not present when a moving
image is displayed.
VSubtitle/TV/Video Button: This
button has different functions depending
on whether it is pressed in DVD/Main
mode or Screen mode.
In DVD/Main mode, press this button to
select a subtitle language or to turn sub-
titling off.
