SECTION 1
PRECAUTION
1.1 Safety Precautions
(1) This design of this product contains special hardware and
many circuits and components specially for safety purpos-
es. For continued protection, no changes should be made
to the original design unless authorized in writing by the
manufacturer. Replacement parts must be identical to
those used in the original circuits. Services should be per-
formed by qualified personnel only.
(2) Alterations of the design or circuitry of the product should
not be made. Any design alterations of the product should
not be made. Any design alterations or additions will void
the manufacturers warranty and will further relieve the
manufacture of responsibility for personal injury or property
damage resulting therefrom.
(3) Many electrical and mechanical parts in the products have
special safety-related characteristics. These characteris-
tics are often not evident from visual inspection nor can the
protection afforded by them necessarily be obtained by us-
ing replacement components rated for higher voltage, watt-
age, etc. Replacement parts which have these special
safety characteristics are identified in the Parts List of Ser-
vice Manual. Electrical components having such features
are identified by shading on the schematics and by ( ) on
the Parts List in the Service Manual. The use of a substitute
replacement which does not have the same safety charac-
teristics as the recommended replacement parts shown in
the Parts List of Service Manual may create shock, fire, or
other hazards.
(4) The leads in the products are routed and dressed with ties,
clamps, tubings, barriers and the like to be separated from
live parts, high temperature parts, moving parts and/or
sharp edges for the prevention of electric shock and fire
hazard. When service is required, the original lead routing
and dress should be observed, and it should be confirmed
that they have been returned to normal, after reassem-
bling.
(5) Leakage shock hazard testing)
After reassembling the product, always perform an isola-
tion check on the exposed metal parts of the product (an-
tenna terminals, knobs, metal cabinet, screw heads,
headphone jack, control shafts, etc.) to be sure the product
is safe to operate without danger of electrical shock.Do not
use a line isolation transformer during this check.
• Plug the AC line cord directly into the AC outlet. Using a
"Leakage Current Tester", measure the leakage current
from each exposed metal parts of the cabinet, particular-
ly any exposed metal part having a return path to the
chassis, to a known good earth ground. Any leakage cur-
rent must not exceed 0.5mA AC (r.m.s.).
• Alternate check method
Plug the AC line cord directly into the AC outlet. Use an
AC voltmeter having, 1,000 ohms per volt or more sensi-
tivity in the following manner. Connect a 1,500 ohm 10W
resistor paralleled by a 0.15 F AC-type capacitor be-
tween an exposed metal part and a known good earth
ground.
Measure the AC voltage across the resistor with the AC
voltmeter.
Move the resistor connection to each exposed metal
part, particularly any exposed metal part having a return
path to the chassis, and measure the AC voltage across
the resistor. Now, reverse the plug in the AC outlet and
repeat each measurement. Voltage measured any must
not exceed 0.75 V AC (r.m.s.). This corresponds to 0.5
mA AC (r.m.s.).
1.2 Warning
(1) This equipment has been designed and manufactured to
meet international safety standards.
(2) It is the legal responsibility of the repairer to ensure that
these safety standards are maintained.
(3) Repairs must be made in accordance with the relevant
safety standards.
(4) It is essential that safety critical components are replaced
by approved parts.
(5) If mains voltage selector is provided, check setting for local
voltage.
1.3 Caution
Burrs formed during molding may be left over on some parts
of the chassis.
Therefore, pay attention to such burrs in the case of pre-
forming repair of this system.
1.4 Critical parts for safety
In regard with component parts appearing on the silk-screen
printed side (parts side) of the PWB diagrams, the parts that are
printed over with black such as the resistor ( ), diode ( )
and ICP ( ) or identified by the " " mark nearby are critical for
safety. When replacing them, be sure to use the parts of the
same type and rating as specified by the manufacturer. (Except
the JC version)

1-4 (No.YD020)
1.5 Preventing static electricity
Electrostatic discharge (ESD), which occurs when static electricity stored in the body, fabric, etc. is discharged, can destroy the laser
diode in the traverse unit (optical pickup). Take care to prevent this when performing repairs.
1.5.1 Grounding to prevent damage by static electricity
Static electricity in the work area can destroy the optical pickup (laser diode) in devices such as DVD players.
Be careful to use proper grounding in the area where repairs are being performed.
(1) Ground the workbench
Ground the workbench by laying conductive material (such as a conductive sheet) or an iron plate over it before placing the
traverse unit (optical pickup) on it.
(2) Ground yourself
Use an anti-static wrist strap to release any static electricity built up in your body.
(3) Handling the optical pickup
• In order to maintain quality during transport and before installation, both sides of the laser diode on the replacement optical
pickup are shorted. After replacement, return the shorted parts to their original condition.
(Refer to the text.)
• Do not use a tester to check the condition of the laser diode in the optical pickup. The tester's internal power source can easily
destroy the laser diode.
1.6 Handling the traverse unit (optical pickup)
(1) Do not subject the traverse unit (optical pickup) to strong shocks, as it is a sensitive, complex unit.
(2) Cut off the shorted part of the flexible cable using nippers, etc. after replacing the optical pickup. For specific details, refer to the
replacement procedure in the text. Remove the anti-static pin when replacing the traverse unit. Be careful not to take too long
a time when attaching it to the connector.
(3) Handle the flexible cable carefully as it may break when subjected to strong force.
(4) I t is not possible to adjust the semi-fixed resistor that adjusts the laser power. Do not turn it.

Preparations
Connections
Before using the player, connect the player to a TV and/or
amplifier.
Before making connections
• Do not connect the AC power cord until all other
connections have been made.
• Connect VIDEO OUT of the player directly to the video
input of your TV. Connecting VIDEO OUT of the player to a
TV via a VCR may cause a monitor problem when playing
back a copy-protected disc. You may also have a monitor
problem when connecting the player to an integrated TV/
Video system.
NOTE
If your TV has an AV COMPU LINK terminal, you can use the AV
COMPU LINK function. See “AV COMPU LINK remote control
system” on page 29 for details.
Connecting to a TV
The following sections Ato Cdescribe TV connections where
only a TV is connected to the player so that you will hear audio
from the TV.
AConnecting to a conventional TV
NOTES
• Do not connect an S-video cable to the S-VIDEO output of the
player. If you do so, you will not be able to obtain correct signals
from the VIDEO jack of the player.
• 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.
BConnecting to a TV with an S-video jack
If your TV has an S-VIDEO input, you can get better picture
quality by connecting it with the S-VIDEO output of the player
using an S-video cable instead of connecting the video input of
the TV to the VIDEO jack of the player.
NOTE
To obtain correct signals from the S-VIDEO output, do not
connect cables to the VIDEO jack and COMPONENT VIDEO
OUT jacks of the player.
Preparations
• In the following description, “TV” may be substituted with
“monitor” or “projector.”
• Terminal names used for other components may be different
from those used in the following description.

Preparations
CConnecting to a TV with component jacks
You can enjoy picture of high-fidelity color reproduction by
connecting the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks on the player to
your TV.
NOTES
• Connect “Y” to “Y,” “PB” to “PB” (CB), “PR” to “PR” (CR) correctly.
• When using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks, do not
connect the S-VIDEO output jack on the player.
• If your TV has component video input jacks of BNC type, use an
adapter which converts a pin jack to a BNC jack (not supplied).
Hint
Depending on the source material format, DVD VIDEO discs can
be classified into two types; film source and video source (note
that some DVD VIDEO discs contain both film source and video
source). Film sources are recorded as 24-frame-per-second
information, while (NTSC) video sources are recorded as 30-
frame-per-second (60-field-per-second interlaced) information.
When the player plays back a film source material, Progressive
(uninterlaced) signals are created using the original information.
When a video source material is played back, the unit interleaves
lines between the interlaced lines on each to create the
interpolated picture and outputs as the progressive signal.
Activating the Progressive scanning mode using the remote
control unit
When the player is turned on and the 525i/625i - 525p/625p -
REMOTE selector is set to “REMOTE,” press and hold down VFP
- PROGRESSIVE SCAN for a few seconds.
The scanning mode switches between the Progressive scanning
and Interlaced scanning modes.
When the scanning mode is set to the Progressive mode, the [P]
indicator lights up in the display window.
[DD] also turns on when Progressive scanned signals on a DVD
VIDEO disc are directly output as they are from the player.
Depending on the [PICTURE SOURCE] preference display and
whether the current DVD VIDEO disc is film-source or video-
source, the indicator that lights up in the display window differs,
as shown in the table below.
Progressive scan video playback available
In the Progressive scanning mode, you can enjoy high quality
picture with less flickers when the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT
jacks are connected to a TV or monitor that supports the
progressive video input.

Preparations
NOTES
• The Progressive scanning mode works only when you connect
the player’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to your TV.
• There are some progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets
that are not fully compatible with the player, resulting in the
unnatural picture when playing back a DVD VIDEO disc in the
Progressive scanning mode. In such a case, use the Interlaced
scanning mode. To check the compatibility of your TV set,
contact your local JVC customer service center.
• All JVC progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets are fully
compatible with the player (Example: AV-61S902).
Connecting to optional audio equipment
Connecting to a stereo audio amplifier/receiver
Connect the player’s AUDIO OUT (LEFT/RIGHT) jacks to any
line-level inputs (such as AUX, DVD, CD, etc.) of an audio
amplifier or receiver.
Connecting to a digital audio device
You can enjoy sound of enhanced quality by connecting the
player’s DIGITAL OUT (either OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack to a
digital input of an amplifier, etc., using an optical or coaxial digital
cable.The digital audio signal on a disc will be transferred directly
from the player. If the connected digital audio equipment is a
Dolby Digital or DTS decoder or an amplifier with a built-in
decoder, you can enjoy high-quality surround sound.
NOTES
• Connect the player and the digital audio device by using either
an optical digital cable or a coaxial digital cable.
• It is not recommended to use the digital jacks for dubbing.
When recording the sounds (DVD VIDEO, SVCD, Video CD or
Audio CD) played back on the player, record them through the
analog jacks.
• Depending on the disc, no signal may be output from the
DIGITAL OUT. Make an analog connection in this case.
• Set [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] in the [AUDIO] preference
display correctly according to the connected digital audio
equipment. If setting made for [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] is
incorrect, loud noise may be generated causing damage to
the speakers (see page 26).

Restarting playback after stopping
(resuming playback)
The player resumes playback from the position you interrupted
playback, as long as the disc you interrupted playback is still on
the disc tray.
This is because the player’s resume mode is set to ON when you
purchased the player.
When the resume mode is set to ON, the player memorizes the
position on a disc where you interrupted playback.
• When you press 7to interrupt playback, the TV screen shows
[RESUME STOP] and the [RESUME] indicator lights up in the
display window.
• When you re-start playback, the TV screen shows [RESUME
PLAY].
Hint
The memory of the interrupted position is not cleared even if you
turn off the player.
To play back from the beginning
Press 7while the disc is stopped.
The memory is cleared.
Then press 3(SELECT).
NOTES
• The player remembers the interrupted position even if you turn
the power off.
• The memory is cleared if you open the disc tray.
Changing the resume mode
The player has three resume modes; ON, OFF and DISC
RESUME.
• You can select the mode using the preference display (see
page 26).
When the resume mode is “OFF”
Playback always starts from the beginning.
When the resume mode is “DISC RESUME”
The player memorizes interrupted positions for the last 30 discs
played. Storing a new interrupted position will erase the
interrupted position stored for the first disc.
The memory of the interrupted positions are not cleared even if
you open the disc tray or turn off the player.
NOTES
• If you change the [RESUME] setting from [DISC RESUME] to
[OFF] or [ON], you cannot resume playback of a disc whose
“resuming” position is stored. However, when you again set
[RESUME] to [DISC RESUME], you will then be able to resume
playback of the disc.
• If you interrupt the playback of a disc for which an interrupted
position has already been stored, the memory will be updated
with the new interrupted position.
• For a double-sided DVD VIDEO disc, the player regards each
side as a different disc. Therefore, to resume playback of such a
disc, the disc must be inserted with the same side down.
• When the player memorizes an interrupted point for a disc, it
also memorizes Audio, Subtitle and Angle settings.
• The player may not resume playback exactly from the
interrupted point. In the case of an SVCD/Video CD disc with
PBC function, the player may resume playback from a point
slightly earlier or later than the point where playback was
interrupted.
