Setting up the AM loop antenna

NOTE

• Keep the AM loop antenna cable wrapped

around the AM loop antenna frame, otherwise

the effectiveness and sensitivity of the AM loop

antenna may be reduced.

Connecting the AM loop antenna

Turn the AM loop antenna to find the best position

for radio reception.

NOTE

• Make sure that the antenna conductors do not

touch any other terminals. This could cause poor

reception.

When radio reception with the supplied FM

antenna is poor, or when using a communal

antenna

• When using an antenna other than those sup-

plied with this system, refer to the operation

manuals for the antenna and converter for

details of connection.

shielded, but color irregularity may occur on the

TV depending on some conditions. To prevent

color irregularity, set up the speakers following

the instructions below.

(The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded.)

1. Turn off the main power of the TV before

setting up the speakers.

2. Place the speakers enough distance from the

TV so that they do not cause color irregularity

on the TV.

3. Wait for approximately 30 minutes before

turning on the main power of the TV again.

CAUTION

• The supplied speakers are manufactured exclu-

sively for use with the supplied main unit as

parts of the NX-F7/NX-F3/NX-F4B system. Do

not connect the supplied speakers to devices

other than the supplied main unit. Doing so may

damage the speakers.

NOTE

• When you want to listen to sound from a TV,

connect the TV to the [AV] terminal as well as

the [COMPONENT] terminals.

■ IMPORTANT

• Connect the main unit directly to a TV (or a mon-

itor) without routing through a video cassette

recorder (VCR). Otherwise picture distortion

may occur during playback. (Routing the con-

nection through a VCR, however, does not affect

the audio quality.)

• Connecting the main unit to a VCR-built-in-TV

may also cause picture distortion during play-

back.

This system can output uncompressed digital

video signals to a TV compatible with HDMI (High

Definition Multimedia Interface).

NOTE

• The HDMI video signal type can be checked with

the “HDMI” indicator in the display window.

(Refer to “Selecting the video signal type” on

page 11.)

• If the picture is distorted while an HDMI TV is

connected, turn off the main unit and turn it on

again.

• A TV compatible with HDCP (High-Bandwidth

Digital Content Protection) can also be con-

nected to the [HDMI MONITOR OUT] terminal,

so that the uncompressed HD video signal type

can be output as well.

• This system is compatible with some basic func-

tions of HDMI CEC. (Refer to page 55.)

• When you want to listen to sound from a TV,

connect the TV to the [AV] terminal as well as

the [HDMI MONITOR OUT] terminal.

The K2 function is designed to provide natural

sound by improving the playback sound from low-

bit-rate digital sources.

The function compensates for sound waves dissi-

pated during digital recording compression to

approximate the original analog sound. Sound is

reproduced with more bits (24 bit) and a wider

range of frequency (128 kHz, 176.4 kHz or

192 kHz).

Plays back a digital source with compressed

sound signals (Dolby digital, DTS, MP3, WMA

or WAV). This mode produces the same effect

as “K2 MODE1” for compressed sound.

- “K2 MODE3”:

Plays back a digital source with non-com-

pressed sound signals (linear PCM) and a

broader sound field than that of “K2 MODE1”.

- “K2 MODE4”:

Plays back a digital source with compressed

sound signals (Dolby digital, DTS, MP3, WMA

or WAV). This mode produces the same effect

as “K2 MODE3” for compressed sound.

Basic operations of HDMI CEC

Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) is device controlling signals optionally employed for the High-Definition

Multimedia Interface (HDMI) standard. When devices equipped with CEC are connected, each device can

control the others.

This system is compatible with some basic functions of HDMI CEC.

• When you start playback on the main unit, the connected TV automatically turns on.

• When you select the main unit as the source of the TV, picture and sound from the main unit are automati-

cally produced.

• When you turn off the TV, the main unit automatically turns off. (This function works when “ON 1” is

selected for “CEC” in the preference screen. Refer to page 44.)

• When you select the menu screen language of the TV, and then the main unit is turned off and turned on

again, the same language is automatically selected on the main unit. (The selectable languages are limited

to those supported by this system.)

• As long as the connected TV is compatible, you can use the operations of the TV to start playback, adjust

the volume and operate other functions on the main unit.

NOTE

• This function is available only when the source is set to “DVD” or “USB”.

• This function is available when “ON 1” or “ON 2” is selected for “CEC” in the preference screen (refer to

page 44).

• For details about the CEC function, refer to the operations manuals of the connected CEC devices.

• If the power cable is not connected to an AC outlet, the CEC function does not work, even when the main

unit is connected to CEC devices.

• Not all HDMI devices are compatible with CEC. If the main unit is connected to non-CEC compatible

devices, these devices cannot be controlled using the CEC function.

• The CEC function may not work with some CEC devices. (When the main unit is connected to a non-JVC

product, the CEC function may not work.)

• The CEC function may not work depending on the settings or status of the main unit or the connected CEC

devices.

• When connecting the main unit to a TV with an HDMI cable for the first time after purchase, confirm that

“JVC” (the initial screen) appears.

• When you disconnect the HDMI cable and connect it again, confirm that “JVC” appears.

• If the CEC function does not work properly, select “OFF” for the “CEC” setting, and then select “ON 1” or

“ON 2” again. (Refer to page 44.)

Reference

DVD VIDEO/DVD VR

A DVD VIDEO consists of “titles” and each title

may be divided into “chapters”.

A DVD VR consists of “original programs” or “play

lists” and each original program/play list may be

divided into “chapters”.

DVD AUDIO

A DVD AUDIO consists of “groups” and each

group may be divided into “tracks”.

Some discs include a “bonus group” that requires

a password for playback. (Refer to page 38.)

VCD/SVCD/CD

A VCD/SVCD/CD consists of “tracks”.

In general, each track has its own track number.

(On some discs, each track may also be further

divided by indexes.)

MP3/WMA/WAV/JPEG/ASF/DivX/MPEG1/

MPEG2 files

Audio, still pictures and video are recorded as

tracks/files on a disc or a USB device. Tracks/files

are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also

include other folders, creating hierarchical folder

layers.

This system simplifies the hierarchical construction

of files and manages folders by “groups”.

.

This system can recognize up to 4 000 tracks/files

on a disc. Also, the system can recognize up to

999 tracks/files per group and up to 99 groups on a

disc. Since the system ignores the tracks/files with

numbers exceeding 999 and the groups with num-

bers exceeding 99, these cannot be played back.

If there are any type of files other than MP3/WMA/

WAV/JPEG/ASF/DivX/MPEG1/MPEG2 files on a

disc, those files are also counted in the total num-

ber of files.

• Do not use a commercially-available non-stan-

dard shape disc (like a heart, flower or credit

card, etc.), because it may damage the system.

• Do not use a disc with tape, stickers, or paste on

it, because it may damage the system.

• Do not bend the disc.

• Scratches concentrated on a certain part cause

sound dropout.

• Be sure not to use thinners, benzenes, cleaners

for analog records, or other chemical agents.
