Precautions

Putting batteries in the remote control

General precautions

Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.
• When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at
the remote sensor on the front panel.

• DO NOT disassemble the unit or remove screws, covers, or cabinet.
• DO NOT expose the unit to rain or moisture.
• DO NOT expose the unit to direct sunlight or place it near a heating
device.

Press and slide the
battery cover on the back
of the remote control.

Insert batteries.

Locations
• Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from
moisture and dust.
If water gets inside the unit, turn off the power and remove the plug
from the outlet, then consult your dealer. Using the unit in this state
may cause a fire or electrical shock.
• Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold
between 5˚C and 35˚C
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor
ventilation could cause overheating and damage the receiver.
• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.
• Do not install the unit in a place subject to vibrations.

Handling the receiver

Make sure to match the polarity:
(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

• DO NOT touch the power cord with wet hands.
• DO NOT pull on the power cord to unplug the cord. When
unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage the
cord.
• Keep the power cord away from the connecting cords and the
antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. It
is recommended to use a coaxial cable for antenna connection,
since it is well-shielded against interference.
• When a power failure occurs, or when you unplug the power cord,
the preset settings such as preset FM or AM channels and sound
adjustments may be erased in a few days.
• When you are away on travel or otherwise for an extended period or
time, remove the plug from the wall outlet. A small amount of power
is always consumed while the power cord is connected to the wall
outlet.

To prevent the malfunction
• There are no user-servicable parts inside. If anything goes wrong,
unplug the power cord and consult your dealer.
• Do not insert any metallic objects, such as wires, hairpins, coins,
etc. into the unit.
• Do not block the vents. Blocking the vents may damage the unit.

To clean the cabinet
• Use a soft cloth. Follow the relevant instructions on the use of
chemically-coated cloths.
• Do not use benzene, thinner or other organic solvents and
disinfectants. These may cause deformation or discoloring.

Replace the cover.

If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace
the batteries. Use two R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell batteries.
• Supplied butteries are for initial setup. Replace for continued use.
CAUTION:
Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:
• Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity:
(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
• Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may
differ in voltage.
• Always replace both batteries at the same time.
• Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.

Setting the voltage selector (RX-ES1SL)
Before connections, always do the following first if necessary.
Select the correct voltage in VOLTAGE SELECTOR on the rear of
the receiver by using a screw driver. Check to be sure if the voltage
mark is set to the voltage for your area where this unit plugs in.

Checking the supplied accessories

Getting started

Connecting the FM and AM antennas

If FM reception is poor, connect
outdoor FM antenna (not supplied).

If AM reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinylcovered wire (not supplied).

AM loop antenna
(supplied)
Snap the tabs on the loop
into the slots of the base to
assemble the AM loop
antenna.

FM antenna (supplied)

RX-ES1SL

AM antenna connection
Connect the AM loop antenna supplied to the AM LOOP terminals.
Connect the white cord to the AM EXT terminal, and the black cord to
H terminal.
Turn the loop until you have the best reception.
• If the reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinyl-covered
wire (not supplied) to the AM EXT terminal. Keep the AM loop
antenna connected.

NOTES
• If the AM loop antenna wire is covered with vinyl,
remove the vinyl while twisting it as shown on the
right.
• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any
other terminals, connecting cords and power cord.
This could cause poor reception.

FM antenna connection
Connect the FM antenna supplied to the FM 75 Ω COAXIAL terminal
as temporary measure.
Extend the supplied FM antenna horizontally.
• If the reception is poor, connect an outdoor FM antenna (not
supplied). Before attaching a 75 Ω coaxial cable with a connector
(IEC or DIN 45325), disconnect the supplied FM antenna.

Getting started

Connecting other video components
Turn off all components before making connections.
• Illustrations of the input/output terminals are typical examples. When you connect other components, refer also to their manuals since the
terminal names actually printed on the rear vary among different components.
Notes for video connection:
• You can use composite video cord or S-video cord for connecting the VCR to this receiver.
• You can use component video cord in addition to composite video cord and S-video cord for connecting your DVD player, TV and DBS tuner
to this receiver.
• By using S-video cord or component video cord, you can get a better picture quality—in the order: composite < S-video < component.
• To view the picture from the DVD player, DBS tuner or VCR on your TV, connect your TV to this receiver using the same type of cord for
connecting the DVD player, DBS tuner or VCR to this receiver.

TV connection
DO NOT use a TV through a VCR or a TV with a built-in VCR; Otherwise, the picture may be distorted.

REMOTE

Selecting PAL or NTSC
Set the PAL/NTSC selector on the rear panel to “PAL” or “NTSC” to
match the color system of your TV. Make sure that the color system
of a DVD VIDEO/SVCD/video CD disc labeled on the package
matches your TV.
If you use a multi-color system TV, you can play discs recorded on
both PAL and NTSC systems by setting the PAL/NTSC selector
appropriately.
• Change the PAL/NTSC selector position in stop mode or with no
disc inserted. The changed setting is not effective if you change
the selector position in playback mode.

Selecting the 525i/525p/REMOTE selector position
You must change the 525i/525p/REMOTE selector position while
the player power is off. Otherwise, the changed setting is not
effective.
• If your television equipped with component jacks does not support
the progressive scanning mode, set the selector to “525i.”
• If your television equipped with component jacks supports the
progressive scanning mode, set the selector to “525p.”
• If you want to select the scanning mode between the interlace and
progressive modes (depending on the source condition, or when
connecting more than one television, etc.), set the selector to
“REMOTE.”

Getting started

Activating the Progressive scanning mode using the remote
control unit
When the player is turned on and the 525i/525p/REMOTE
selector is set to “REMOTE,” press and hold down PROGRESSIVE 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
PROGRESSIVE indicator on the front panel turns on.
Depending on the [PICTURE SOURCE] setting on the
[PICTURE] preference display and whether the current DVD
VIDEO disc is film-source or video-source, the color of the indicator
differs, as shown in the table below.

* While stopped in the Progressive scanning mode, the
PROGRESSIVE indicator is lit in red regardless of the [PICTURE
SOURCE] selection.

NOTES
• The Progressive scanning mode works only when you connect the
player’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to your TV.
• The Progressive scanning mode works only when the signal format
is NTSC.
• 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).
• The VIDEO jack, S-VIDEO jack and COMPONENT VIDEO OUT
jacks cannot be used at the same time. Connect cable(s) only to
the jack(s) you want to use.
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.
About the scanning mode
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). Film
sources are recorded as 24-frame-per-second information, while
(NTSC) video sources are recorded as 30-frame-per-second (60-fieldper-second interlaced) information.
When the player 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 player interleaves
lines between the interlaced lines on each to create the interpolated
picture and outputs as the progressive signal.

Speaker settings
To obtain the best possible surround effect from Surround/DSP modes (see pages 26 to 31), you need to set up the speaker and subwoofer
information after all the connections are completed. You can set the speaker information using one of the following three methods.
Smart Surround Setup: Set the speakers information automatically by one simple action—clapping hands. The delay time and output level for
the center and surround speakers are set automatically.
Quick Setup:
Set the speakers and subwoofer information quickly by entering the use of the subwoofer, the number of the speakers,
and your room size.
Manual Setup:
Set the speakers and subwoofer information manually.
• Before starting the speaker setting, connect and position the speakers and subwoofer (see page 7) and turn on the receiver.

Setting the speakers information
automatically—Smart Surround Setup

3 Confirm “SETTING UP” stops flashing and clap
your hands over your head once while “SETTING

The distance from your listening point to the speakers is one of the
important element to obtain the best possible sound effect for the
Surround/DSP modes.
You need to set the delay time of the center and surround speakers
relative to the front speakers so that sounds through all the speakers
can reach you at the same time (see also page 19).
By using Smart Surround Setup, the speaker delay time and output
level are automatically calculated by one simple action—clapping
hands.
• To set the speaker information effectively using Smart Surround
Setup, unplug the power cords of all the components connected to
this receiver such as a TV, DVD player, DBS tuner, and VCR which
may cause noise.
• To use Smart Surround Setup effectively, connect both the center
and surround speakers.
• You can also set the crossover frequency, the low frequency effect
attenuator and the dynamic range compression manually (see page
19).
• When you change your speakers, do the following steps again.

The receiver starts detecting the level of the sound coming
through all speakers (except the subwoofer).
After detecting the sound, one of the following indications appears
on the display.

From the remote control ONLY:

• The speaker delay time and output levels are set automatically
when:
—the receiver detects the sound as “SILENT” twice in
succession.
—the receiver detects the sound as “SILENT” at the third time
after detecting “SILENT”, “SILENT-ALL” and/or “FAILED”
twice.

surround speakers automatically.
The receiver cannot detect sound from some
speakers.
The receiver cannot detect any sound from all
speakers.
The receiver cannot detect both right and left
channels for the front and/or surround
speakers correctly.

• When the receiver cannot detect the sound correctly (“SILENT,”
“SILENT-ALL” or “FAILED” appears on the display), “SETTING
UP” appears on the display again then repeat step 3.

• When the receiver detects the sound as “SILENT-ALL” or
“FAILED” three times, “MANUAL” appears on the display. Set
the speaker and subwoofer information using Quick Setup (see
page 17) or Manual Setup (see page 18), and the speakers’
output levels for the center and surround speakers (see pages
29 to 31).
To cancel Smart Surround Setup, press SMART S. SETUP while
“SETTING UP” flashes on the display.
• Any other operations cannot be done after “SETTING UP” stops

NOTES
• You need to set the subwoofer information and output level
manually (see pages 18 and 22).
• When you use Smart Surround Setup, the speaker delay time and
output levels you have set before will be ineffective.
• Set the speakers information using Quick Setup (see page 17) or
Manual Setup (see page 18), and the speakers’ output levels for the
center and surround speakers (see pages 29 to 31) when:
—you like to change the speaker setting made by Smart Surround
Setup
—Smart Surround Setup is not done correctly due to some factors
such as the environment, speaker types and clapping strength.
• Smart Surround Setup will not be done correctly if your body or
other object blocks the sound.
• Do not clap your hands hard because it may hurt your hands.

Setting the crossover frequency—CROSS

— CNTR DL (center speaker delay),
SURR DL (surround speakers delay)

Small speakers cannot reproduce the bass sounds efficiently. If you
use a small speaker in any position, this receiver automatically
reallocates the bass sound elements assigned to the small speaker to
the large speakers.
To use this function properly, set this crossover frequency level
according to the size of the small speaker connected.
• If you have selected “LRG (large)” for all speakers (see page 18),
this function will not take effect.

You can set the speaker delay time easily by using Smart Surround
Setup (see page 16) or Quick Setup (see page 17).
The distance from your listening point to the speakers is one of the
important element to obtain the best possible surround sound for the
Surround modes.
You need to set the delay time of the center and surround speakers
relative to the front speakers so that sounds through all the speakers
can reach you at the same time.
• 1 msec increase (or decrease) in delay time corresponds to 30 cm
increase (or decrease) in distance.

Reproducing theater ambience

Introducing the Surround/DSP modes

In a movie theater, many speakers are located on the walls to
reproduce impressive multi-surround sound, reaching you from all
directions.
With these many speakers, sound localization and sound movement
can be expressed.
Surround/DSP modes built in this receiver can create almost the
same surround sound as you can feel in a real movie theater.

You can use the following Surround/DSP modes with this receiver.
■ Surround modes
• Dolby Pro Logic II
• Dolby Digital
• DTS
■ DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes
• DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes
• All Channel Stereo

■ Surround modes
Dolby Pro Logic II*
Dolby Pro Logic II has a newly developed multi-channel 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 surround treble and
enables stereo surround sound compared to conventional Dolby Pro
Logic.
Dolby Pro Logic II enables you 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—suitable for reproduction of Dolby Surround
DOLBY SURROUND . You can enjoy a
encoded sources bearing the mark
sound field very close to the one created with discrete 5.1 channel
sounds.
Pro Logic II Music—suitable for reproduction of any 2-channel stereo
music sources. You can enjoy wide and deep sound by using this
mode. For this mode, Panorama control can be selected, which gives
“wraparound” sound effect with side-wall image.
• When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the
on the display.

PLII indicator lights up

Dolby Digital*
MIN

MAX

Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed by
Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and
decoding (1 channel up to 5.1 channel).
Dolby Digital 5.1 channel encoding method records and digitally
compresses the left front channel, right front channel, center channel,
left surround channel, right surround channel, and LFE channel
signals (total 6 channels, but the LFE channel is counted as 0.1
channel. Therefore, it is called 5.1 channel).
Dolby Digital enables stereo surround sounds, and sets the cutoff
frequency of the surround treble at 20 kHz, compared to 7 kHz for
Dolby Pro Logic. As such, the sound movement and “being-there”
feeling are enhanced much more than Dolby Pro Logic.
• To enjoy software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the source
component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver.
(See pages 8 and 12.)
NOTE
Dolby Digital software can be roughly grouped into two categories
—multi-channel (up to 5.1 channel) and 2 channel software. To enjoy
surround sound while playing Dolby Digital 2 channel software, you
can use Dolby Pro Logic II.

DTS**

The following DAP modes are provided with this receiver:

DTS is another digital signal compression method, developed by
Digital Theater Systems, Inc., and enables multi-channel encoding
and decoding.
DTS Digital Surround is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio
format available on CD, LD, and DVD software.
Compared to Dolby Digital, the DTS Digital Surround format has a
lower audio compression rate, which enables it to add breadth and
depth to the sounds reproduced. As such, DTS Digital Surround
features natural, solid and clear sound.
• To enjoy the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround, connect
the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this
receiver. (See pages 8 and 12.)

■ DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes
DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes
DAP modes have been designed to create important acoustic
surround elements.
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 create these important
elements, and give you a real “being there” feeling.

LIVE CLUB:

Reproduces the spatial feeling of a live music club
with a low ceiling.

DANCE CLUB:

Reproduces the spatial feeling of a rocking dance
club.

HALL:

Reproduces the spatial feeling of a hall for
classical recitals.

PAVILION:

Reproduces the spatial feeling of an exhibition
hall.

These DAP modes can be used to add acoustic surround effects
while reproducing 2 channel stereo software, either analog or Linear
PCM digital signal, 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.

All Channel Stereo
This mode can reproduce a larger stereo sound field using all the
connected (and activated) speakers.
All Channel Stereo can be used when the front and surround
speakers are connected to this receiver without respect to the
center speaker connection.
• If the center speaker is connected and activated, the same phase of
the front left and right signals are mixed and output through the
center speaker.
All Channel Stereo can be used while reproducing 2 channel stereo
software, either analog or Linear PCM digital signal.
• When All Channel Stereo is selected, the DSP indicator lights up on
the display.

Available Surround/DSP modes will vary depending on how many
speakers are used with this receiver.
Make sure that you have set the speakers information correctly
(see pages 16 to 19).
• If only front speakers are connected, you cannot use the Surround
modes.
• If surround speakers are not connected, you cannot use DSP
modes.
When multi-channel digital software such as Dolby Digital or DTS
Digital Surround is played back, the appropriate multichannel
Surround mode is automatically activated (“DOLBY D” or “DTS”) by
pressing SURROUND (with the digital input mode selected).
• For Dolby Digital 2 channel software, you can select “PLII MUSIC”
or ”PLII MOVIE” by pressing SURROUND.
• For more details, see “Available Surround/DSP modes for each
input signal” on page 27.

Using Surround modes
Once you have adjusted the Surround modes, the adjustment is

Additional information

Appendix D: Glossary
525i/525p
Indicates the number of scanning lines and scanning format of an
image signal. 525i indicates 525 scanning lines with interlace
format, and 525p indicates 525 scanning lines with progressive
format.
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.
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
A family of Standards for compressing audio-visual information.
“MPEG” standards include MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4.
Video CD and MP3 are based on MPEG-1, while DVD is based
on MPEG-2. MPEG stands for Moving Picture coding Experts
Group.
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 (525i) video from DVD into
progressive (525p) 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.
