Introduction
Precautions
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. Refer to “Setup Menu” in “Operating
Guide.”
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.
About color system

numbers. This System can play back only DVDs with Region
Code numbers including “4.”
Ex.:
• “REGION ERR” appears if DVD with a wrong Region Code
is loaded.

Connections
• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other
terminals, connecting cords or the power cord. Also, keep
the antennas away from metallic parts of the System,
connecting cords, and the power cord. These could cause
poor reception.
• Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as
indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of the
System.
• The speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color
distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly,
it may cause color distortions. So, pay attention to the
following when installing the speakers.
– When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off the
TV’s main power switch or unplug it before installing the
speakers.
Then wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s
main power switch again.
– Some TVs may still be affected even though you have
followed the above instructions. If this happens, move
the speakers away from the TV.
• You cannot connect a computer and JVC Everio camcorder
to the USB terminals of the System.
• Electrostatic shock at connecting a USB device may cause
abnormal playback of the device. In this case, disconnect
the USB device then turn off this unit.
Preparations
To change the color system and scanning mode:
• You cannot display a high quality image of progressive
scanning in the following cases:
– When your TV does not support the progressive video
input.
