too cold—between 5°C and 35°C.
• Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent internal heat buildup inside the System.
• Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.
• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference
with TV.

To connect the AM loop antenna
• If the AM loop antenna wire or speaker cords are covered
with vinyl, remove the vinyl to expose the tip of the
antenna by twisting the vinyl.
• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other
terminals, connecting cords and power cord.Also, keep the
antennas away from metallic parts of the System,
connecting cords, and the AC power cord. This could cause
poor reception.
To connect the speaker cords
Connect the right speaker to the RIGHT terminals, and the
left speaker to the LEFT terminals.
When connecting the speaker cords, match the polarity of
the speaker terminals:
• For LOW terminals: Red cord to (+) and black cord to (–).
• For HIGH terminals: Grey cord to (+) and blue cord to (–).
AV COMPU LINK remote control system
This system allows you to use JVC’s TV with simple
operations; by starting playing back a disc, the TV
automatically turns on and changes the input mode to the
appropriate position so that you can view the playback
picture.
• To use AV COMPU LINK, you need to connect the
System and the TV by using a cord with monaural mini-
plugs (not supplied) in addition to the video input/output
connection through the COMPONENT jacks, S-VIDEO
jack or VIDEO (composite) jack on the rear.
Setting the Video Output Selector
You can select the video output to match it to the color
system of your TV.
Changing the Scanning Mode
This System supports progressive scanning.
If you connect a progressive TV through the COMPONENT
jacks, you can enjoy a high quality picture from the built-in
DVD player by selecting “PROGRE.”
• DO NOT connect more than one speaker to
each terminal.
• DO NOT allow the conductor of the speaker
cords to be in touch with the metallic parts of
the System.

IMPORTANT
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. If this happens, move the speakers
away from the TV.

Before Operating the System
Playable Disc Types
This unit has been designed to play back the following discs:
In addition to the above discs, this System can play back audio
data recorded on CD Text, CD-G (CD Graphics), and CD-Extra.
• The following discs cannot be played back:
DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD+R, DVD+RW, CD-I (CD-I
Ready), CD-ROM, Photo CD, etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the
speakers.
• In this manual, “file” and “track” are interchangeably used
for MP3/WMA/JPEG operations.
*Note on Region Code
DVD players and DVDs have their own Region Code numbers.
This System can play back only DVDs recorded with the NTSC
or PAL color system whose Region Code numbers including
“4.”
EX.:
If a DVD with the improper Region Code numbers is loaded,
“RGN ERR (Region Code Error)” appears on the display and
playback will not start.
DVD Video—digital audio formats
The System can play back the following digital audio
formats.
•
Linear PCM:
Uncompressed digital audio, the same
format used for CDs and most studio masters.
•
Dolby Digital:
Compressed digital audio, developed by
Dolby Laboratories, which enables multi-channel encode
to create the realistic surround sound.
•
DTS (Digital Theater Systems):
Compressed digital
audio, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., which
enables multi-channel like Dolby Digital. As the
compression ratio is lower than for Dolby Digital, it
provides wider dynamic range and better separation.
When playing a multi-channel encoded DVD, the System
properly converts these multi-channel signals into 2
channels, and emits the downmixed sound from the
speakers.
•
To enjoy the powerful sound of these multi-channel
encoded DVDs,
connect a proper decoder or an amplifier
with a proper built-in decoder to the digital output terminal
on the rear.
• Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories.
