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.
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.
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 inside.
• If you are not going to operate the System for an
extended period of time, unplug the power cord from the
wall outlet.
If anything goes wrong, unplug the power cord and consult
your dealer.

About color system
This System is compatible with both of NTSC and PAL
video formats. You can play back discs/files recorded in
either format.
Note on Region Code
DVD players and DVDs have their own Region Code
numbers. This System can play back only DVDs with
Region Code numbers with an appropriate Region Code
number.
• “RG ERROR” appears if DVD with other Region Code is
loaded.
Ex.: For the Middle East
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 32.
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 OUT terminal on the rear.
