WELCOME
And thank you for purchasing this JBL
Digital Simply Cinema system. This
state of the art system includes every-
thing you need to experience movie
theater quality digital video and audio
in the comfort of your own living room.
The only thing you need to add is your
own TV. We have designed this
system to be easy to set up, and even
easier to use. But please review this
manual before you operate your
system. Have it handy while you are
setting the system up and keep it
available for future reference or in the
unlikely event that you encounter any
unexpected problems. We have tried
to keep this manual as simple as
possible. It begins with a description
of the important controls on the main
unit and the remote. It then explains
how to connect the speakers, your TV,
and optional external sources to the
main unit and then how to operate the
DVD-Audio/DVD/CD player and the FM
Stereo Receiver.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
This manual should be read in
conjunction with the owners manual
of the accompanying loudspeaker
system. The instructions found therein
should be followed with respect to
loudspeaker operation and safety.
Only use the DSC1000 controller with
the loudspeaker system supplied.
Failure to do so may cause damage to
either the controller or the
loudspeakers and will invalidate any
warranty.
All of the optional system settings
have been preset at our factory for
correct operation of the system. All
you have to do is insert a disc, sit
back, and enjoy a great home theater
experience.
You may want to change some of the
optional settings. A description of all
the optional settings and instructions
for changing them are found in the
second half of the manual.
This system was designed to provide
you with many years of reliable
operation with a minimum of care and
maintenance. Every component in
your system was in perfect working
condition when it left our factory. If
you experience any problems with the
set-up or operation of this system,
please review the Troubleshooting
Guide at the end of this manual before
you contact your authorized JBL
dealer.
The serial number of your system can
be found on a label on the back panel
of the main unit, and also on the
display carton. Please record the
serial number in the space below. You
may need to refer to this number if
your system ever needs to be serviced
or for insurance purposes.

Noise Interference on the TV
While a Broadcast is Being
Received
Depending on the reception condition
of the TV, interference may appear on
the TV monitor while you watch a TV
broadcast and the controller is left on.
This is not a malfunction of the
controller or the TV. To watch a TV
broadcast, turn off the controller.
Service
• Do not attempt to service the
controller or subwoofer yourself.
• Please contact your authorized JBL
dealer.
Copyright
Audio-visual material may consist of
copyright works which must not be
recorded without the permission of
the owner of the copyright.
Please refer to relevant laws covering
copyright protection.
Copy protection
This DVD player supports Macrovision
copy protection. On DVD discs that
include a copy protection code, if the
contents of the DVD disc are copied
using a VCR, the copy protection code
prevents the videotape copy from
playing normally.
For Optimum Performance
The controller is a precision device
that is constructed using extremely
accurate technology. Soiling or
friction affecting the pickup lens or
disc drive can impair the image
quality. In the worst case, neither
video nor audio will be played back. To
obtain optimum picture quality, the
player should be checked (cleaning
and replacement of some parts) every
1,000 hours. Note that this period
varies depending on the environment
(temperature, humidity, dust) in which
the player is used.
Do not attempt to clean the pickup
lens yourself.
