d. The product does not operate normally when follow-
ing the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls
that are covered by the operating instructions, as an
improper adjustment of other controls may result in dam-
age and will often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the product to its normal operation;
or
e. The product has been dropped or damaged in any
way; or
f. The product exhibits a distinct change in performance;
this indicates a need for service.
22. Replacement Parts. When replacement parts are
required, be sure the service technician has used replace-
ment parts specified by the manufacturer or that have the
same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other
hazards.
23. Safety Check. Upon completion of any service or
repairs to this product, ask the service technician to per-
form safety checks to determine that the product is in
proper operating condition.
24. Wall or Ceiling Mounting. The product should be
mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the
manufacturer.

Important Safety Information
Verify Line Voltage Before Use
Your JBL Cinema ProPack 600 home-theater
system has has been designed for use with
120-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 system.
If you have any questions about the voltage
requirements for your specific model, or about
the line voltage in your area, contact your selling
dealer before plugging the components into a
wall outlet.
Do Not Use Extension Cords
To avoid safety hazards, use only the power
cord attached to your components. 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.
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 system for
any considerable length of time, disconnect the
plugs from the AC outlet.
Do Not Open the Cabinet
of Any Components
There are no user-serviceable components
inside this product. Opening the cabinets may
present a shock hazard, and any modification
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, disconnect it
from the AC power source immediately, and
consult an authorized service station.
CATV or Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is
connected to this product, be certain that it
is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information
with respect to proper grounding of the mast
and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes and
requirements of the grounding electrode.
NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM
INSTALLER:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV
(Cable TV) system installer’s attention to article
820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for
proper grounding and, in particular, specifies
that the cable ground shall be connected to the
grounding system of the building, as close to
the point of cable entry as possible.
Installation Location
■To ensure proper operation, particularly of
the precision laser transport mechanism and
carousel tray in the DVD600, and to avoid
the potential for safety hazards, place the
components on a firm and level surface.
When placing the components on a shelf, be
certain that the shelf and any mounting
hardware can support the weight of the
product.
■Make certain that proper space is provided
both above and below each component 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 circum-
stances, a fan may be required.
■Make certain that there is enough room in
front of the DVD600 for the disc tray to open
fully, and that there is enough space above
the unit so that discs may easily be inserted.
■Do not place the components directly on a
carpeted surface.
■Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold
locations, or in an area that is exposed to
direct sunlight or heating equipment.
■Avoid moist or humid locations.
■Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the
top of any component, or place objects
directly over them.
■Do not place the DVD600 in a location that
is subject to direct sunlight or extreme
heat or cold, as these conditions may
damage the discs used in the player, or
the player itself.
Cleaning
When the system 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 ben-
zene, aerosol cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any
other volatile cleaning agent. Do not use
abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the fin-
ish of metal parts. Avoid spraying insecticide
near the components.
Moving the Components
Before moving the components, be certain to
disconnect any interconnection cords with
other components, and make certain that you
disconnect the unit from the AC outlet.

Unpacking
The carton and shipping materials used to pro-
tect your new home theater system 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 system
ever need repair.
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 mate-
rials, please note that the carton and other
sections of the shipping protection are recycla-
ble. Please respect the environment and dis-
card those materials at a local recycling center.

What‘s Included
Installing and Connecting the Equipment
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.
Refer to the attached Quick Installation diagrams and the Rear Panel
Connections diagrams for the DCR600 and DVD600 on pages 16 and 20
when connecting your equipment.
We recommend a simple connection of your system components to each
other, plus a video connection to your television. After you have made
these connections, you may wish to read further in this owner’s manual for
information on connecting other components, such as external tape or dig-
ital recorders, CD players, laserdisc players, cable television boxes,
satellite dishes, video games or other devices.
Important Note: Any cables run inside walls should be CL3/FT4 rated, or
carry any other certification that is required by the NEC or state and local
building and electrical codes. To avoid interference, audio and speaker
cables should not be parallel to, or run in the same conduits or path with,
AC cables. If you have any questions about wiring, consult your dealer or
electrical contractor.

Where to Place the Speakers
Mounting Options
Satellites and Surrounds
On shelves.
Wall-Mounting
Attach plate to wall. The
brackets should be placed, if
possible, so that the screws
will fasten into a wooden wall
stud. If that is not possible, use
properly selected wall anchors.
The customer is responsible for proper
selection and use of mounting hardware,
available through hardware stores, to prop-
erly and safely wall-mount the speakers.
On the wall. Wall brackets
are included.
Slide speaker onto support.
On optional stands (FS300).
Place speaker and sup-
port on wall plate.
Subwoofer
Surround Speakers
Front Speakers Center-Channel Speaker
The front speakers should be placed the same
distance from each other as they are from the
listening position. They should be placed at
about the same height from the floor as the
listeners’ears will be, or they may be angled
toward the listeners.
The center-channel speaker should be placed
slightly behind the front left and right speakers,
and no more than two feet above or below the
tweeters of the left and right speakers. It is
often convenient to set the center speaker on
top of the television set, as shown in the drawing.
Use the supplied support leg to aim it toward
the listener by screwing the leg in to angle the
speaker up, or unscrewing the leg slightly to
angle the speaker down.
The two surround speakers should be placed
slightly behind the listening position and, ideally,
should face each other and be at a level higher
than the listeners’ears. If that is not possible,
they may be placed on a wall behind the listening
position, facing forward. The surround speakers
should not call attention to themselves.
Experiment with their placement until you hear a
diffuse, ambient sound accompanying the main-
program material heard in the front speakers.
The low-frequency material reproduced by the
subwoofer is mostly omnidirectional, and this
speaker may be placed in a convenient location
in the room. However, the best reproduction of
bass will be heard when the subwoofer is
placed in a corner along the same wall as the
front speakers. Experiment with subwoofer
placement by temporarily placing the subwoofer
in the listening position and moving around the
room until the bass reproduction is best. Place
the subwoofer in that location.

10
Connecting the Speakers
Making the Audio Connections
Separate and strip
the ends of the
speaker wire as
shown. Speakers
and electronics ter-
minals have
corresponding (+)
and (–) terminals.
Most manufacturers of speakers and electronics,
including JBL, use red to denote the (+) terminal
and black for the (–) terminal.
The (+) lead of the speaker wire is noted with a
stripe. It is important to connect both speakers
identically: (+) on the speaker to (+) on the
receiver and (–) on the speaker to (–) on the
receiver. Wiring “out of phase”results in thin
sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image.
With the advent of multichannel surround-sound
systems, connecting all of the speakers in your
system with the correct polarity remains equally
important in order to preserve the proper ambi-
ence and directionality of the program material.
The wires for the three front speakers should all
be of the same length even if the speakers will
be placed at varying distances from the DCR600.
The same applies to the two rear speakers. To
make sure that you use the correct wires for
each speaker, we have color-coded them, as
shown in the diagram:
Left Front: White Wire
Center: Green Wire
Right Front: Red Wire
Right Rear: Yellow Wire
Left Rear: Blue Wire
Finally, connect one end of the single-lead RCA
cable with brown connectors to the LFE/Subwoofer
output ⁄on the back of the DCR600 receiver,
and the other end to the LFE Input on the
back of the SCS135S subwoofer.
1
1. Assemble the supplied AM Loop Antenna as
shown above. Connect it to the AM and GND
terminals ¢on the back of the DCR600.
2. Connect the supplied 75-ohm FM antenna to
the FM terminal §on the back of the DCR600.
Note that if you use an optional external FM
antenna with 300-ohm twin-lead cable, you
must use a 300-ohm-to-75-ohm adaptor (not
supplied) to make the connection.
3. Connect one end of the supplied single-lead
coaxial digital cable with orange connectors to
the COAX1 (upper) digital input gon the receiver,
and connect the other end to the coaxial digital
output on the DVD changer.
4. In order to obtain the best possible sound
reproduction when watching your television, con-
nect the left and right analog audio outputs of
your TV to the Video 2 Audio inputs hon the
DCR600 using the red (right) and white (left)
leads of the supplied triple-lead RCA cable.
Colors shown in parentheses are wiring color codes.
.
.

11
Connect all components as per the Quick Setup
Guide, or as per pages 6 thru 8 of this manual.
Remove the protective plastic films from the
front panel displays of the DCR600 and DVD600.
1. Plug the Power Cord ‡into an unswitched
AC outlet.
2. Press the Main Power Switch 1in so that
it latches in and is flush with the front panel.
Note that the Power Indicator 3will turn
amber, indicating that the unit is in the
Standby mode.
3. Install the three supplied AAA batteries in the
remote as shown. Be certain to follow the (+)
and (–) polarity indicators that are on the bot-
tom of the battery compartment.
4. Turn the DCR600 on, either by pressing the
System Power Control 2on the front
panel, or by pressing an Input Selector
ijklmno on the remote.
The Power Indicator 3will turn green to
confirm that the unit is on, and the
Information Display Úwill also light up.
Setting the output levels correctly is the key to
preserving the enveloping surround sensation
that the artists of your favorite movies intended
for you to experience.
1. Make sure the Balance Control * is in
the “12 o‘clock”position, and put the DCR600
in Dolby Pro Logic* mode by pressing the
Surround Mode Selector t7repeat-
edly until PRO LOGIC appears in the
Main Information Display W, and the
PRO LOGIC indicator Flights.
2. Press the Test Button qto start a test
tone circulating from speaker to speaker,
starting with the front left speaker (indicated
by FL in the display), and going around
clockwise. Let it circulate once to check that
your speakers have been connected correctly.
3. The goal is to obtain the same output level
from each speaker. Use the front left speaker
as your reference, adjusting the Volume
Control Ósw until the sound coming
from the front left speaker is at a comfortable
level.
4. If any other speaker sounds too loud or soft
in comparison to the front left speaker, adjust
its output level by pressing the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons
yon the remote, or the Selector
Buttons 5on the receiver’s front panel.
This will cause the test tone to pause at that
speaker to allow you to make the adjustment.
When you are satisfied with the level of that
speaker, press the Set Button Ôto
store the setting. The tone will continue to
circulate after about 15 seconds.
5. If you are using a sound pressure level (SPL)
meter for precise level adjustment, start by
setting the volume so that the meter reads
75dB, C-Weighting, Slow.
6. When you are finished adjusting the levels
for all speakers (except the subwoofer, which
is not adjustable using this procedure), press
the Test Button qto end the test tone.
For most installations, your DCR600 receiver
should now be ready for use. If you would like
further information on making other, advanced
settings, please see the section titled
“Configuring the DCR600 Receiver”.
Making the Video Connections
IMPORTANT NOTE: The DCR600 and DVD600
offer both S-Video and composite video inputs
and outputs. However, you must choose one
type of connection or the other for all connec-
tions in your system. This will depend on the
type of connections on your television. If both
types of connections are available, we recom-
mend that you purchase S-Video cables and
make those connections for superior picture
quality. The composite video connections will
also provide excellent results. However, the
DCR600 will not convert from one type of signal
to the other.
1. Connect one end of the single-lead RCA cable
with yellow connectors to the composite video
output on the DVD600 and the other end
to the DVD composite video input ªon the
receiver.
OR
Connect one end of an S-Video cable (not sup-
plied) to the S-Video output on the DVD600
to the DVD S-Video input ªon the receiver.
2. Connect one of the yellow ends of the triple-
lead RCA cable with red, white and yellow con-
nectors to the Video Monitor composite video
output ‚on the receiver, and the other end to
the composite video input jack on your television.
This jack is often color-coded yellow; however, if
you have any questions about which jack to use,
consult your television’s owner’s manual or your
dealer for assistance.
OR
Connect one end of a second S-Video cable
(not supplied) to the Video Monitor S-Video
output ‚on the receiver, and the other end
to the S-Video input jack on your television.
3. If your television is equipped with component
video (Y/Pr/Pb) inputs, in addition to the above
connections, you may use a triple-lead compo-
nent video cable (not supplied) to connect the
component video outputs on the DVD600 to
the inputs on your television.
4. Connect one end of the black 1/8" mini phone
cord to the Remote IR Output °on the
DCR600, and the other end to the Remote IR
Input on the DVD600.
If you will not be connecting additional equip-
ment to your system just yet, you may plug in
the receiver, DVD changer and subwoofer. The
DVD600 may be plugged into the Unswitched
Accessory Outlet flon the rear of the
receiver. The receiver has a master power
switch 1which must be pressed in first, and a
power switch 2, which should be pressed sec-
ond. The last source selection will appear in the
receiver’s information display.
The DCR600 is set at the factory to a default
configuration for use with small satellite speak-
ers and a powered subwoofer such as the JBL
SCS135S. If other speakers are used, then the
speaker configurations may need to be changed.
Although the DCR600 is set to the correct speaker
configuration settings for the speakers supplied
with this system at the factory, you will need
to adjust the output levels of the speakers to
customize the system to your speaker placement
and room acoustics.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
A. The AC plug connections should always be
the last connections made when installing an
A/V system. When making subsequent connec-
tions to audio source equipment or speakers, it
is always a good practice to unplug the unit
from the AC wall outlet. This prevents the pos-
sibility of sending audio or transient signals to
the speakers that may damage them.
B. Connect devices as per the Quick Setup
Guide or per pages 6 through 8 of this manual.
C. The DCR600 offers both composite and S-
Video inputs and outputs. However, either S
or composite input/output connections should
be used throughout the system in order for it to
function properly. Do not use S-Video and com-
posite video connections interchangeably.
D. The digital outputs are active only when a
digital signal is present, and they do not con-
vert an analog input to a digital signal, or
change the format of the digital signal. In
addition, any digital recorder used must be
compatible with the output signal. For exam-
ple, the PCM digital input from a CD player
may be recorded on a CD-R or MiniDisc, but
Dolby Digital or DTS signals may not.

of an audio recorder.
™Tape Outputs: Connect to RECORD/INPUT
jacks of an audio recorder.
£Video 1 Audio Inputs: Connect jacks to
the PLAY/OUT audio jacks on a VCR or other
video source.

antenna supplied. If an external AM antenna is
used, make connections to the AM and GND
terminals in accordance with the instructions
supplied with the antenna.
∞Video 1 Audio Outputs: Connect to the
RECORD/INPUT audio jacks on a VCR or
other video recorder.
§FM Antenna: Connect to the supplied
indoor, or an optional external, FM antenna.
¶CD Inputs: Connect to output of a CD player.
NOTE: When the CD player has both fixed and
variable audio outputs, it is best to use the
fixed output unless you find that the input to
the receiver is so low that the sound is noisy,
or so high that the signal is distorted.
•Digital Audio Outputs: Connect to the
same type digital input connector on a CD-R or
MiniDisc recorder.
ªDVD Video Inputs: Connect to composite
or S-Video output jacks on a DVD.
‚Video Monitor Outputs: Connect to com-
posite or S-Video input of a TV monitor or
