Introduction
Notes on handling
Important cautions
Installation of the system
• Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor
too cold between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F).
• Leave sufficient distance between the system and the TV.
• Do not use the system in a place subject to vibrations.
Power cord
• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!
• A small amount of power (1.3 watts) is always consumed
while the power cord is connected to the wall outlet (the
center unit only).
• When unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet,
always pull the plug, not the power cord.
To prevent malfunction of the system
• There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If anything goes
wrong, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer.
• Do not insert any metallic object into the system.
• Do not apply any shock to the moving panel when it is
open.
• An 8 cm (3”) disc cannot be played back in this system.
(Do not attempt to insert an 8 cm (3”) disc using an
adaptor. Doing so will damage the system.)
• Do not use any non-standard shape disc (like a heart,
flower, or credit card, etc.) available on the market,
because it may damage the system.
• Do not use a disc with tape, stickers, or paste on it,
because damage to the system may result.

About discs
Playable disc types
This system has been designed to play back the following discs:
DVD Video, Video CD, Super Video CD (SVCD), Audio CD, CD-R, and CD-RW.
• This system can also play back MP3 and JPEG files recorded on CD-Rs and CD-RWs. For in-depth information about MP3,
see “MP3 disc playback” on page 51, and about JPEG, see “JPEG disc playback” on page 53.
• We refer to DVD Video as DVD in this manual.

• The following discs cannot be played back:
– DVD Audio, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the speakers.
– 8 cm (3”) disc
An 8 cm (3”) disc cannot be played back in this system. (Do not attempt to insert an 8 cm (3”) disc using an adaptor. Doing
so will damage the system.)
• On some DVD, Video CD, or SVCD discs, their actual operations may be different from what is explained in this
manual. This is due to the disc programming and disc structure, but not a malfunction of this system.
• Notes on CD-R and CD-RW
– User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) can be played back only if they are already “finalized.”
– The system can play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded on a personal computer if they have been recorded in the audio CD
format.
The system can also play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs if MP3 files or JPEG files are recorded on them.
However, they may not be played back because of their disc characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stain on
them.
Especially, the configuration and characteristics of an MP3 disc or a JPEG disc is determined by the writing (encoding) software and
hardware used for recording. Therefore, due to the software and hardware used, the following symptoms may occur:
• Some discs may not be played back.
• Some tracks on an MP3 disc are skipped and may not be played back normally.
• Some files on a JPEG disc may be played back distortedly.
– Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.
– CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for
regular CDs.
* Note on Region Code
DVD players and DVDs have their own Region Code numbers. This system can play back only DVDs recorded with the color
system of NTSC whose Region Code numbers include “1.”
Examples:
If a DVD with the improper Region Code numbers is loaded, “REGION CODE ERROR” appears on the display and playback
cannot start.
IMPORTANT: Before playing a disc, make sure of the following....
• Check the connection with the TV.
• Turn on the TV and select the correct input mode on the TV to view the pictures or on-screen indications on the TV screen.
• For DVD playback, you can change the initial setting to your preference. (See pages 55 to 65.)
If
appears on the TV screen when pressing a button, the disc cannot accept an operation you have tried to do, or
information required for that operation is not recorded on the disc.
, operations will not be accepted.
NOTICE: In some cases, without showing

About discs
Disc structure
A DVD Video disc consists of “titles,” and each title may be divided into some “chapters.” (See Example 1.)
For example, if a DVD disc contains some movies, each movie may have its own title number, and it may be further divided
into some chapters.
On the other hand, a Video CD, SVCD, and Audio CD consist of “tracks.” (See Example 2.)
In general, each track has its own track number. (On some discs, each track may also be divided by Indexes.)

Example 1: DVD

Example 2 : Video CD/SVCD/Audio CD

Playback Control function (PBC)
The Playback Control function allows you to enjoy menu-driven operation and high-resolution still images which have a
resolution four times greater than moving pictures.
• High-resolution still image display
You can display high-quality images four times clearer than moving pictures.
• Menu-driven playback
A selection menu is displayed when you start playing a Video CD and SVCD disc with the Playback Control feature. The
selection menu shows a list of numbers for selection. Some discs may show moving pictures or a divided screen.
You can interact with the screen using a menu display to select and play an entry.
See example illustration below about basic feature of menu-driven playback (for details about the operation through the
menu, see also page 39).

NOTE:
While operating a Video CD or SVCD using the menu, some of the functions such as repeat play may not work.

Installing the equipment on the wall
When attaching the rear speakers to a wall
Using the supplied speaker wall brackets, you can fix the rear speakers to the wall.
CAUTION: Attaching the brackets to the wall
When attaching the brackets to the wall, have them attached to the wall by a qualified person.
DO NOT attach the brackets to the wall by yourself to avoid an unexpected damage due to their falling from the wall, caused by incorrect
attachment or weakness in the wall.

Location of attachment to wall:
Take care when selecting a location for attaching rear speakers to the wall. Injury to personnel, or damage to equipment, may
result if the speakers are attached in a location which interferes with daily activities.

Attaching speakers to the brackets

1 Use the supplied screws to attach the brackets to the rear speakers.

2 Adjust the angle of the rear speakers.
Loosen the screw slightly, make an adjustment, and then tighten the screw firmly.

CAUTION:
If the screws are not tightened firmly, this may cause injury to personnel or damage to equipment.

When attaching the AM loop antenna to a wall
You can attach the AM loop antenna to the wall.

CAUTIONS: location of attachment to a wall
• Take care when selecting a location for attaching the center unit to the wall. Injury to personnel, or damage to the center
unit, may result if the center unit is attached in a location which interferes with daily activities, or a location that the users
are liable to knock their bodies or heads against the center unit.
• Avoid a location above a bed, sofa, water tank, sink, etc. or in a passage.
CAUTIONS: attachment to a wall
• The center unit weighs approximately 2.95 kg (6.51 lbs). When you operate the buttons on the center unit, an additional
force will be applied to the center unit in downward direction. Therefore, sufficient care must be required when attaching
the center unit to a wall to prevent any accidents caused by the unit’s falling off.
• Before attaching the center unit to a wall, check the wall (or other related aspects) you want to attach it to, and verify
whether the strength of the wall will be sufficient not only to support the weight of the center unit itself but also to withstand
the additional downward force which will be applied to it during operations.
(Do not attach the center unit to a plywood or plasterboard wall. The center unit will fall and sustain damage as a result.)
If you cannot judge the strength of the wall or other aspects, consult a qualified person (such as a qualified constructor).
• The screws needed for attachment are not supplied. Use screws which are compatible with the strength and material of
the pillar or wall.
• When attaching the center unit, the screws must be secured tightly in all three locations. Failure in attaching the center
unit to the wall using all three holes on the back of the center unit makes for an unstable attachment, and it constitutes a
safety hazard as the center unit may fall down.

Example of attachment
The procedure below is an example of how to attach the center unit to a wall:
It does not make any guarantee for safety while using the center unit on the wall. Take into account such factors as the
material, strength, and the status of the wall as well as the reinforcing material, and the possible changes that will take place
over time.
NOTES:
• You need to connect the cords to the center unit (and attach the supplied stand) before attaching it to the wall.
• DO NOT plug the power cord into an AC outlet before attaching the center unit to the wall.
• When attaching the supplied stand to the center unit, connect the video cords, AV COMPULINK cord, and so on by passing them through the
holes at the bottom of the stand, and do not attach the legs to the stand. See page 9.

1 Select the place (wooden wall) where the center unit is to be attached.
Avoid a plywood or plasterboard wall.

2 For reinforcement purposes, prepare the wooden board
which will be used to attach the center unit to the wall.

Supports inside the wall

Before proceeding, check the position of the supports inside the wall.
Use a sturdy board sized as below:
• A (Height):
Higher than the unit
• B (Width):
Wider than the distance between the two supports inside the
wall
• C (Thickness): 9 mm to 15 mm

Board
A

B

EN1-20TH-V70[J]B

02.3.14, 1:19 PM

3 Attach the board to the wall.
Anchor the board securely in at least four places to the supports inside the wall.
The diameter of the screws must be more than 4 mm, and their length must be 3 times the thickness of the board mounted
on the wall (also take the thickness of the wall into account ).

4 Mount three screws (not supplied) to the board which has been attached on the wall.
Use the screws as illustrated below.
You can use the supplied paper pattern to mark the positions where the screws are mounted.

Keep the space of 6 to 7 mm.

NOTES:
• Do not place anything on top of the center unit. Doing so may cause the center unit to fall down, and cause injury to the persons arround.
• Do not climb onto the center unit or hang from it. Doing so may damage the center unit and/or cause injury to the person.
Take care specially when there are small children at the home.
• Avoid sandwiching the cords between the unit and wall. This may upset the balance of the center unit, and cause the center unit to fall down.
• Make sure that the connected cords will not interfere with daily activities and that the users will not be caught in the cords.
• Do not pull the connected cords with excessive force.
• Check regularly that none of the screws are loose.
• In the event that the center unit has fallen, turn the power off, disconnect the power plug from the AC outlet, and contact your dealer for an
inspection and repairs. Using it in this state may cause a fire or electrical shock.
• Do not place valuables (breakables) underneath the location where the center unit is attached. They will be damaged if the center unit should
fall.
• The manufacturer accepts absolutely no liability for any accidents or damage resulting from inadequate assembly or mounting, insufficient
strength of attachment, misuse or abuse, or natural disasters.

Changing the scan mode
This system supports the progressive scan system (480p*) as wel as the conventional interlaced scan system (480i*).
If your TV equipped with component jacks supports the progressive video input, you can enjoy a high quality picture by
making the progressive scan mode active.
• Refer also to the instruction manuals supplied with your TV.
• If your TV equipped with component jacks does not support the progressive video input, do not change the scan mode to
the progressive scan mode.

From the remote control ONLY:

Press and hold PROGRESSIVE (VFP) for 3 seconds.
Each time you perform this operation, the scan mode changes as follows.
INTERLACE O PROGRESSIVE
• INTERLACE:
Select this If your TV equipped with component jacks supports the interlaced video input only.
• PROGRESSIVE: Select this If your TV equipped with component jacks supports the progressive video input.
The selected scan mode appears on the display window for a while.
NOTES:
• There are some progressive TVs and High-Definition TVs that are not fully compatible with this system, resulting in the unnatural picture when
playing back a DVD in the progressive scan mode.
In such a case, change the scan mode to “INTERLACE.”
To check the compatibility of your TV, contact your local JVC customer service center.
• All JVC progressive TVs and High-Definition TVs are fully compatible with this system.

* 480p and 480i indicate the number of scanning lines and scanning format of an image signal.
• 480p indicates 480 scanning lines with progressive format.
• 480i indicates 480 scanning lines with interlaced format.

About scan system
To display video on the TV screen, the conventional scanning method is called “Interlaced scan.”
With this method, only half of the horizontal lines are displayed at a time. So two fields complete a single picture (frame);
i.e., the first field, containing all the odd-numbered lines, is displayed followed by the second field, containing all the
even-numbered lines.
On the other hand, the Progressive scan system scans all horizontal lines at a time, so you can double the number of
scanning lines displayed at a time, resulting in a flicker-free, high-density picture.
To enjoy the progressive scanned video, a monitor (or TV or projector) to be connected to the unit must have the
Progressive inputs.
Depending on the material source format, DVD VIDEO can be classified into two types; film source and video source (note
that some DVD VIDEO contain both film source and video source). Film sources are recorded as 24-frameper-second information, while (NTSC) video sources are recorded as 30-frame-per-second (60-field-per-second interlaced)
information.
When this system plays back a film source material, uninterlaced progressive output signals are created using the original
information. When a video source material is played back, the unit interleaves lines between the interlaced lines on each to
create the pseudo uninterlaced picture and outputs as the progressive signal.

Creating the realistic sound fields
You can use the following Surround modes to reproduce a realistic sound field.
7 Dolby Surround
• Dolby Pro Logic II
• Dolby Digital
7 DTS Digital Surround
7 DAP modes
7 All Channel Stereo

7 Dolby Surround
Dolby Pro Logic II*
Dolby Pro Logic II has newly developed multichannel
playback format to decode all 2 channel sources—stereo
source and Dolby Surround encoded source—into 5.1
channel.
Matrix-based encoding/decoding method for Dolby Pro Logic II
makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the rear treble and
enables stereo rear sound compared to conventional Dolby Pro
Logic.
Dolby Pro Logic II enables to reproduce spacious sound from
original sound without adding any new sounds and tonal
colorations.
Dolby Pro Logic II has two modes—Movie mode and Music
mode:
Pro Logic II Movie (PL II MOVIE)—suitable for reproduction of
Dolby Surround encoded sources bearing the mark
DOLBY SURROUND . You can enjoy soundfield very close to the one
created with discrete 5.1 channel sounds.
Pro Logic II Music (PL II MUSIC)—suitable for reproduction of
any 2 channel stereo music sources. You can enjoy wide and deep
sound by using this mode.
PRO LOGIC II
• When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the
indicator lights up on the display window.

Dolby Digital*

encoded with Dolby Digital (
Dolby Digital 5.1 ch (DOLBY D) encoding method (so-called
discrete multichannel digital audio format) records and
digitally compresses the left front channel, right front channel,
center channel, left rear channel, right rear channel, and LFE
channel signals.
Since each channel is completely independent from the other
channel signals to avoid interference, you can obtain much
better sound quality with much stereo and surround effects.
NOTE:
Dolby Digital software can be roughly grouped into two categories—
multichannel (up to “5.1” channel) and 2 channel software. To enjoy
surround sounds while playing Dolby Digital 2 ch software, you can
use Dolby Pro Logic II.

7 DTS Digital Surround**

).
encoded with DTS Digital Surround (
DTS Digital Surround (DTS SURR) is another discrete
multichannel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and
DVD software.
Compared to Dolby Digital, audio compression ratio is
relatively low. This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format to
add breadth and depth to the reproduced sounds. As a
result, DTS Digital Surround features natural, solid and clear
sound.

7 DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes

7 All Channel Stereo

DAP modes have been designed to create important
acoustic surround elements.

All Channel Stereo (ALL CH ST.) mode can reproduce a
larger stereo sound field using all the connected (and
activated) speakers.

The sound heard in a live club, dance club, hall or pavilion
consists of direct sound and indirect sound—early reflections
and reflections from behind. Direct sounds reach the listener
directly without any reflection. On the other hand, indirect
sounds are delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls
(see the diagram below).
These indirect sounds are important elements of the acoustic
surround effects. The DAP mode can reproduce a realistic
sound field by adding these indirect sounds.

All Channel Stereo can be used while reproducing 2 channel
stereo software, either analog or Linear PCM.
• When All Channel Stereo is selected, the DSP indicator
lights up on the display.

All Channel Stereo reproduction
All channel stereo

The following DAP modes are provided with this system.
LIVE CLUB:
Gives the feeling of a live music club with a
low ceiling.

Normal stereo sound

DANCE CLUB: Gives a throbbing bass beat.
HALL:

Gives clear vocal and the feeling of a
concert hall.

PAVILION:

Gives the spacious feeling of a pavilion with
a high ceiling.

These DAP modes can be used to add the acoustic surround
effects while reproducing 2 channel stereo software, either
analog or Linear PCM, and can give you a real “being there”
feeling.
• When one of the DAP modes is selected, the DSP indicator
lights up on the display window.

7 NOTES for MP3 disc

7 To skip to the beginning of the current track

• MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer
readout time. (It differs due to the complexity of the
directory/file configuration.)
• When making an MP3 disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or
Level 2 as the disc format.
• This system supports “multi-session” discs (up to 5
sessions).
• This system can not play “packet write” discs.
• The system can play MP3 files only with the following file
extensions: “.MP3,” “.Mp3,” “.mP3,” and “.mp3.”
• ID3* tags cannot be shown on the display.
* An MP3 file can contain file information called “ID3 Tag” where
its album name, performer, track title, etc. are recorded. There
are two versions—ID3v1 (ID3 Tag version 1) and ID3v2 (ID3 Tag
version 2).

• We recommended to record each song (material) at
a samplerate of 44.1 kHz and at a data transfer rate of 128 kbps.
• If both MP3 files and JPEG files are recorded on a disc, set the
MP3/JPEG setting in the PICTURE menu to “MP3.”
(See page 58.)
• Some MP3 discs may not be played back because of their
disc characteristics or recording conditions.

Maintenance
To get the best performance of the system, keep your discs
and mechanism clean.

General Notes

Cleaning the system

In general, you will have the best performance by keeping
your discs, and the mechanism clean.
• Store discs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on
shelves.

• Stains on the system
Should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the unit is heavily
stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water-diluted neutral
detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.
• Since the unit may deteriorate in quality, become
damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the
following.
— DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth.
— DO NOT wipe it strong.
— DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.
— DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as
insecticides to it.
— DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact
with it for a long time.
— DO NOT clean the moving panel when it is open.

Handling Discs
• Remove the disc from its case
by holding it at the edge while
pressing the center hole lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface
of the disc, or bend the disc.
• Put the disc back in its case
after use to prevent warping.

• Be careful not to scratch the
surface of the disc when
placing it back in its case.
• Avoid exposure to direct
sunlight, temperature
extremes, and moisture.

To clean the disc
Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in
a straight line from center to
edge.

DO NOT use any solvent—such as conventional
record cleaner, spray, thinner, or benzine—to
clean the disc.

Glossary
Aspect ratio

Multi-angle

The ratio of vertical and horizontal sizes of a displayed
image. The horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs is
4:3, and that of wide-screens is 16:9.

By recording multiple scenes progressing at the same time in
a single title, the user can select view angles. This feature is
called the multiangle function.

Chapter

Multichannel

Refers to individual chapters included in a title.

DVD is specified to have each sound track constitute one
sound field. Multichannel refers to a structure of sound tracks
having three or more channels.

Composite video signal
Refers to video signal comprised of three kinds of signals
combined: an image signal made up of luminance and
chrominance signals using the frequency multiplication
technique; burst signal providing the basis for color
reproduction; and synchronization signal.

Component video signal
A video signal system where parts of information necessary
for reproducing image signal comprised of the three primary
colors of light are transmitted via separate signal lines. Types
of signal, such as R/G/B, Y/PB/PR, etc., are available.

Disc menu
A screen display prepared for allowing selection of images,
sounds, subtitles, multiangles, etc. recorded on a DVD.

Interlaced scan
In the conventional video system, a picture is shown
on the display monitor in two halves. The Interlaced
scan system places lines of the second half of the
picture in-between lines of the first half of the picture.

JPEG
A still-picture data compression system proposed by the
Joint Photographic Expert Group, which features small
decrease in image quality in spite of its high compression
ratio.

Linear PCM (PCM: Pulse Code Modulation)
A system for converting analog sound signal to digital signal
for later processing, with no data compression used in
conversion.

Letter box

Multilanguage
When a title is created to cope with multiple languages, it is
generally called a multilanguage title.

Parental lock
A feature of this system to automatically determine whether or
not to reproduce particular DVD software by comparing its
parental level (a measure of undesirability of scenes, etc.
from educational viewpoint) set for the software beforehand
with that set on this system by the user; if the software’s level
is less restrictive than the user-set level, it will be reproduced.

Playback control (PBC)
Refers to the signal recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for
controlling reproduction. By using menu screens recorded on
a Video CD or SVCD that supports PBC, you can enjoy
interactive-type software as well as software having a search
function.

Progressive scan
Progressive scan displays all the horizontal lines of a picture
at one time, as a single frame. This system can convert the
interlaced video from DVD into progressive format for
connection to a progressive display. It dramatically increases
the vertical resolution.

Region code
A system for allowing discs to be played back only in the
regions designated beforehand. All the countries in the world
are divided into six regions, each region being identified by a
specified region code (or region number). If the region code
given to a disc includes a numeral which matches one in the
region code of a player, the player can play back the disc.

A method of displaying wide images like movies in the center
of a 4:3 TV screen with no part of the image deleted, by

Surround

MP3

Frequency of sampling data when analog data is converted
to digital data. Sampling frequency numerically represents
how many times the original analog signal is sampled per
second.

A file format with a sound data compression system. “MP3” is
the abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1
(or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. By using MP3 format, one CD-R
or CD-RW can contain about 10 times as much data volume
as a regular CD can.

A system for creating three-dimensional sound fields full of
realism by arranging multiple speakers around the listener.

Sampling frequency

Transfer rate
The rate of transferring digital data. Usually the measure is in
baud per second. The DVD system applies a variable
transfer rate system for high efficiency.
