Before using the player, connect the player to a TV and/or

amplifier.

Before making connections

• Do not connect the AC power cord until all other

connections have been made.

• Connect VIDEO OUT of the player directly to the video

input of your TV. Connecting VIDEO OUT of the player to a

TV via a VCR may cause a monitor problem when playing

back a copy-protected disc. You may also have a monitor

problem when connecting the player to an integrated TV/

Video system.

Connecting to a TV

The following sections A to D describe TV connections where

only a TV is connected to the player so that you will hear sound

from the TV.

A Connecting to a TV with the SCART connector

NOTES

•Do not connect multiple devices using multiple connectors.

•Connect “Y” to “Y,” “PB” to “PB” (CB), “PR” to “PR” (CR) correctly.

HINT

Depending on the material source format, DVD VIDEO discs can

be classified into two types; film source and video source (note

that some DVD VIDEO discs contain both film source and video

source).

When the player plays back a film source material, Progressive

(uninterlaced) output signals are created using the original

information. When a video source material is played back, the

player interleaves lines between the interlaced lines on each to

create the interpolated picture and outputs as the progressive

signal.

Activating the Progressive scanning mode using the remote

control unit

When the player is turned on, press and hold down VFP -

PROGRESSIVE SCAN for a few seconds.

The scanning mode switches between the Progressive scanning

and Interlaced scanning modes.

When the scanning mode is set to the Progressive mode, the [P]

indicator lights up in the display window. [DD] indicator also lights

up when Progressive scanned signals on a DVD VIDEO disc are

directly output as they are from the player.

Depending on the [PICTURE SOURCE] setting on the [PICTURE]

preference display (see page 31) and whether the current DVD

VIDEO disc is film-source or video-source, the progressive

indicator lights, as shown in the table.

* While stopped in the Progressive scanning mode, the [P]

indicator is lit regardless of the [PICTURE SOURCE] selection.

NOTES

•The Progressive scanning mode works only when you connect

the player’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to a progressive

TV.

•There are some progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets that

are not fully compatible with the player, resulting in the unnatural

picture when playing back a DVD VIDEO disc in the Progressive

scanning mode. In such a case, use the Interlaced scanning

mode. To check the compatibility of your TV set, contact your

local JVC customer service center.

•All JVC progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets are fully

compatible with the player (Example: AV-61S902).

Progressive scan video playback available

In the Progressive scanning mode, you can enjoy high quality

picture with less flickers when the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT

jacks are connected to a TV or monitor that supports the

progressive video input.

In this manual, “group” is also referred to as “folder.”

• A folder which has one or more files is regarded as a group.

• The player can detect and play back the groups which are

located up to the fifth layer.

• The files in the Control display are arranged by the alphabetical

order of extensions as follows: “asf”, “avi”, “divx”, “jpeg”, “mp3”,

and “wma”.

• Time required for reading the media contents may vary for

different media, depending on the numbers of folders (groups)

and files recorded, etc.

• Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into “group

1.”

• The player recognizes up to 150 files per group, and up to 250

groups per disc/memory card. Files other than MP3/WMA/

JPEG/MPEG-4/DivX files count in the 999 total.

Appendix D: Glossary

ASF

ASF is an abbreviation of “Advanced Streaming Format,” and is a

data compression format for streaming developed by Microsoft

Corporation. ASF can contain the various data types such as

audio, video, and text.

Aspect ratio

A ratio which defines the shape of the rectangular picture in a TV.

It is the width of the picture relative to the height. A conventional

TV picture is 4:3 in aspect ratio.

Bitstream

The digital form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1-channel)

before it is decoded into its various channels.

Chapter/title

Chapter is the smallest division and title is the largest division on

DVD VIDEO. A chapter is a division of a title and similar to a track

for Video CD or Audio CD.

Component video

Video signals with three channels of separate information that

makes up the picture. There are some types of component video,

such as R/G/B and Y/CB(PB)/CR(PR).

Composite video

A single video signal commonly used in most consumer video

products that contains all luminance, color, and synchronization

information.

DivX

One of the encoding methods for making MPEG-4 files.

Dolby Digital (AC3)

A six-channel system consisting of left, center, right, left rear,

right rear and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect channel, for use with a

sub-woofer) channels. All processing is done in the digital

domain. Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channels of

information.

Dolby Surround/Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Surround records four channels of front and rear audio in

two channels in a way that allows a decoder to recover the

original four channels for playback. Because the audio is

recorded in two channels, it can be played back naturally by a

two-channel stereo system.

Dolby Pro Logic introduces directional circuits in decoder-side

processing (increasing the level of specific channels and lowering

the level of silent channels) for greater spatial perspective, and

adds a center speaker used primarily for dialog. The result is

enhanced channel separation.

Down-mix

Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a DVD

player. The down-mix signals are output from stereo output

connectors.

DTS

A Digital Surround audio encoding format configured with six

(5.1) channels, similar to Dolby Digital. It requires a decoder,

either in the player or in an external receiver. DTS stands for

Digital Theater Systems.

Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.

Dynamic range

The difference between the loudest and softest sounds.

Interlaced scanning

In a conventional video system, a picture is shown on the display

monitor in between lines of two halves. The Interlaced scanning

system places lines of the second half of the picture in-between

lines of the first half of the picture.

JPEG

A popular file format for still image compression and storage.

JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group.

There are three sub-types of the JPEG format as follows.

•baseline JPEG: used for digital cameras, the web, etc.

•progressive JPEG: used for the web

•lossless JPEG: an old type, rarely used now

Linear PCM audio

PCM stands for “pulse code modulation.” Linear PCM is the usual

method for digitally encoding audio without compression, and is

used for the audio tracks on DVD VIDEO discs, Audio CDs, etc.

MP3

MP3 is an audio data compression format, which stands for

MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Using MP3, you can achieve a data

reduction of about 1:10.

MPEG-4

MPEG-4 is an audio/video data compression format, which is

highly efficient and more stable than MPEG-1 and MPEG-2.

MPEG Multichannel

This feature expands the 5.1 channel audio format recorded on

the disc to a 7.1 channel format. The further expansion of the 5.1

channel audio makes it easy for you to reproduce the movie

theater experience in your own home.

NTSC (National television system committee)

A black and white and color television system format used in the

U.S.A., Canada, Mexico and Japan.

PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)

A color television system format used extensively in Western

Europe.

PBC

PBC stands for “Playback control” and is a method of controlling

disc play for Video CDs (VCD). You are able to interact with the

disc through menus.

Progressive scanning

Progressive scanning displays all the horizontal lines of a picture

at one time, as a single frame. A progressive scanning DVD

player converts the interlaced video from DVD into progressive

format for connection to a progressive display. It dramatically

increases the vertical resolution.

S-video

A video signal which improves picture quality over standard

composite connections. Used on Super VHS, DVD, high end TV

monitors, etc.

Track

The smallest division on SVCD, Video CD and Audio CD discs.

WMA

WMA is an abbreviation of “Windows Media Audio,” and is an

audio data compression format developed by Microsoft

Corporation. Sound quality of data compressed using WMA is

the same as that of MP3, though the WMA file size is smaller

than that of MP3.
