Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a JVC product. Please read all instructions carefully before operation, to ensure your
complete understanding and to obtain the best possible performance from the System.
Others
Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the
System, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer
before operating any further.
DO NOT disassemble the System since
there are no user serviceable parts

• Some related tips and notes are explained later in
the sections “Learning More about This System”
and “Troubleshooting,” but not in the same
section explaining the operations ( indicates
that the content has some information).
• Illustrations used in this manual is mainly of CA-
NXG7. They may look different from the model you
have.
Indicates that you press the button
briefly.
Indicates that you press the button
briefly and repeatedly until the
option you want is selected.
Indicates that you press one of the

Precautions
Installation
• Install the System in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in the
System.
DO NOT install the System in a
location near heat sources, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust
or vibration.
• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too
hot nor too cold—between 5°C and 35°C.
• Leave sufficient distance between the System and the
TV.
• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid
interference with the TV.
Power sources
• When unplugging the System from the wall outlet,
always pull on the plug, not the power cord.
DO NOT handle the power cord with
wet hands.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the System
in the following cases:
• After starting to heat the room
• In a damp room
• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a
warm place.
Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this
case, leave the System turned on for a few hours until
the moisture evaporates, unplug the power cord, then
plug it in again.
Internal heat
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the
System. Poor ventilation could overheat and damage
the System.
DO NOT block the ventilation
openings or holes. If they are blocked
by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat
may not be able to get out.

About color system
This System accommodates both NTSC and PAL
system and can play back discs/files recorded in either
system.
To change the color system, see page 7.
Note on Region Code
DVD players and DVDs have their own Region Code
numbers. This System can play back only DVDs with
an appropriate Region Code number.
• For details, see page 55.
• “REGION ERR” appears if DVD with a wrong
Region Code is loaded.
Ex.: For Southeast Asia
Caution for DualDisc playback
The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply
with the “Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard.
Therefore, the use of the Non-DVD side of a DualDisc
in this product may not be recommended.
IMPORTANT: Before playing a disc/file, make sure
of the following...
• Turn on the TV and select an appropriate input
mode on the TV to view the pictures or on-screen
displays.
• For disc/file playback, you can change the initial
setting to your preference. See “Setup Menu
Operations” on page 45.
If “ ” appears on the TV screen when you press
a button, the disc/file cannot perform the operation
you have tried to do.
• When playing a multi-channel encoded software, the
System properly converts the multi-channel signals
into 2 channels, and emits the downmixed sound
from the speakers. To enjoy the powerful sound of
these multi-channel encoded software, connect a
proper decoder or an amplifier with a proper built-
in decoder to the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUTPUT
terminal on the rear.
How to cancel the demonstration
