PCM multichannel format, up to 24-bit resolution and
MLP, as well as the audio formats for DVD VIDEO such
as Dolby Digital 5.1 ch. and DTS.
• DOLBY DIGITAL
A surround audio format configured with six
channels. Because the “sub-woofer” channel, one of
the six channels, is an auxiliary channel, this format is
called “5.1-channel system.”
• DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
A surround audio format configured with six (5.1)
channels which is same as Dolby Digital. Because the
compression ratio is lower than Dolby Digital, it
provides wider dynamic range and better separation.
• MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing)
A format for DVD AUDIO with the compression ratio
of about 2:1 while allowing the PCM signal to be
completely recreated by the MLP decoder (required in
all DVD AUDIO players). It supports up to 192kHz/24-
bit.
•LinearPCM
Uncompressed digital audio, the same format used on
CDs and most studio masters.
DVD AUDIO supports up to 6 channels at sample rates
of 48/96/192 kHz (also 44.1/88.2/176.4 kHz) and sample
sizes of 16/20/24 bits, while DVD VIDEO supports
2 channels at sample rates of 48/96 kHz and sample
sizes of 16/20/24 bits.

Non-playable discs
DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD-ROM, PHOTO CD, CD-EXTRA, CD-G, CD-TEXT
•Playing back discs listed as “Non-playable discs”above may generate noise and damage speakers.
•This unit can play back audio recorded in CD-G, CD-EXTRA and CD-TEXT discs.
There are some formats of audio recorded on discs as shown below. The associated indicator lights up in the display
window when playing back a disc.

A DVD VIDEO disc is comprised of “titles”and each title may be divided into some “chapters”. For example, if a DVD
VIDEO disc contains some movies, each movie may have its own title number, and each movie may be divided into some
chapters. In a DVD VIDEO KARAOKE disc, each song usually has its own title number and does not have chapters. A DVD
AUDIO disc is comprised of “groups”, and each group is comprised of “tracks”. Some DVD AUDIO discs also contain a
“bonus group”that can be played back by entering the “key number”(a kind of password). Usually the contents of a
“bonus group”are not opened to the public. Note that most DVD AUDIO discs include other information in addition to
audio, such as still pictures, movies and text. An Audio CD or Video CD is simply comprised of “tracks.”

Getting started
Getting started
Connections
*In the following description, “TV”may be substituted with “monitor”or “projector.”
*Before using the unit, you have to connect the unit to a TV and/or amplifier.
•Do not connect the AC power cord until all other connections have been made.
•Since different components often have different terminal names, carefully read the instructions supplied with the
component you are going to connect.
You can enjoy playback by simply connecting the unit to a TV. To improve audio sound quality, connect the AUDIO OUT
jacks to your separate audio equipment. (See the following pages.)
Connect the unit to a TV equipped with stereo audio input and video input jacks using the supplied audio/video cables.
•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.
•If your TV has an S-video input, you can get better picture quality by connecting it with the S-VIDEO output of the unit
using the S-video cable (optional) in addition to the (standard) video connection.
Before making any connections
To connect to a conventional TV
NOTES
•When connecting to a TV using the VIDEO OUT jack, make sure that the PROGRESSIVE indicator on the front panel is not lit. If
it is lit, the VIDEO and S-VIDEO outputs do not feed the correct signals. To turn off the PROGRESSIVE indicator, see “How to
make the Progressive scan mode active”on page 17.
•When making the audio connection using the FRONT (LEFT and RIGHT) jacks, set “DOWN MIX”in “PREFERENCE 2”to “Lo/
Ro”and the Speaker setting in “SPK. SETTING”to “2 CHANNEL”(see page 57 and 59).
•Connect VIDEO OUT of the unit directly to the video input of your TV. Connecting VIDEO OUT of the unit to a TV via a VCR may

You can enjoy high picture quality by connecting the unit’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to the COMPONENT VIDEO IN
jacks of your TV with the video cables.
The unit supports the Progressive scan system as well as the conventional Interlace scan system. If your television or
monitor supports the progressive video input, you can enjoy a high quality picture by making the Progressive scan mode
active.
How to make the Progressive scan mode active
Press and hold down the VFP - PROGRESSIVE SCAN button for a few seconds.
The scan mode switches between the Progressive scan and Interlace scan modes. When the Progressive is selected, the
PROGRESSIVE indicator on the front panel is lit.
•You should note that not all ProgressiveTV and High-Definition TV sets are fully compatiblewith the unit and may
cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture. In case of progressive scan picture problems,it is recomended that you
switch the setting to the “Interlace Scan” output. If there are questions regarding our TV set compatibility with the unit,
please contact our customer service center.
• All JVC Progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets have no problem. (Example: AV-61S902)

You can enjoy high-quality audio by connecting the unit's audio output to your amplifier or receiver.
• Connect the unit's AUDIO OUT (FRONT LEFT/RIGHT) to any line-level inputs (such as AUX, DVD, CD, etc.) of an audio
amplifier or receiver.
NOTES
• Connect “Y” to “Y”, “PB” to “PB”, “PR” to “PR” correctly.
• When the component video input jacks of the TV is of the BNC type, use an adapter to convert a pin jack to a BNC jack
(optional).
• Make the “DOWN MIX” setting in “PREFERENCE 2” to “Lo/Ro” and the Speaker setting in “SPK. SETTING” to “2 CHANNEL”
(see pages 57 and 59).
• When the Progressive scan mode is selected, the VIDEO and S-VIDEO outputs do not feed the correct signals.
About SCAN MODE
To display video on the monitor (television) screen, the conventional scanning method is called “Interlaced scan”.
With this method, only half of the horizontal lines are displayed at a time. So two fields complete a single picture
(frame); i.e., the first field, containing all the odd-numbered lines, is displayed followed by the second field, containing
all the even-numbered lines.
On the other hand, the Progressive scan system scans all horizontal lines at a time, so you can double the number of
pictures compared with the interlaced scan, resulting flicker-free, high-density picture.
To enjoy the progressive scanned video, a monitor (or TV or projector) to be connected to the unit must have the
Progressive inputs.
Depending on the material source 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 unit plays back a film source material, uninterlaced progressive output 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 pseudo uninterlaced picture and outputs as the progressive signal.
To connect to an audio amplifier or receiver
NOTE
• When using the unit with a stereo amplifier or receiver, make the “DOWN MIX” setting in “PREFERENCE 2” to “Lo/Ro” and the
Speaker etting in “SPK. SETTING” to “2 CHANNEL” (see pages 57 and 59).
