VCD discs.

As portable USB devices increase in popularity, JBL’s CS3/CS5 is

among the first integrated home theater systems that allow mobile

interconnectivity by playing compatible music or image files from

portable devices via two USB On-the-Go inputs.

Use the CS3/CS5 receiver only with the loudspeaker system sup-

plied. Failure to do so may cause damage to either the receiver or

the loudspeakers and will invalidate any warranty.

A wide range of programming features makes it easy to program

an evening’s worth of entertainment. When playing DVDs, easy-to-

understand on-screen menus and icons make it simple to change

languages, soundtracks, subtitles or aspect ratio, while a parental-

lock function enables you to control which discs may be viewed by

younger members of the household.

All of the optional system settings have been preset at our factory

for correct operation of the system. All you have to do is insert a

disc, sit back, and enjoy a great home theater experience.

You may want to change some of the optional settings. A descrip-

tion of all the optional settings and instructions for changing them

are found in the second half of the manual.

DVD players are among the fastest growing consumer electronics

products ever brought to market, but this may, nevertheless, be the

first DVD player you’ve owned. Although many of the features of

the DVD resemble those of standard CD players, there are a num-

ber of functions with which you may be unfamiliar. To ensure that

you are able to take advantage of all the power and flexibility the

DVD has to offer, we encourage you to review this quick setup

manual. That small investment of your time will pay major dividends

in the enjoyment you will get from proper use of your DVD receiver.

NOTE: This player is designed and manufactured for compatibility with Region Management Information that is encoded on

most DVD discs. This player is designed only for playback of discs with Region Code 2, or for discs that do not contain

Region Code information. If there is any other Region Code on a disc, that disc will not play on the DVD.

SAFETY INFORMATION

This system was designed to provide you with many years of

reliable operation with a minimum of care and maintenance. Every

component in your system was in perfect working condition when it

left our factory. If you experience any problems with the set-up or

operation of this system, please review the Troubleshooting guide

at the end of this manual before you contact your authorized

JBL dealer.

Cleaning

When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft, dry cloth. If

necessary, wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy

water, then a fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe dry immediately

with a dry cloth. NEVER use benzene, aerosol cleaners, thinner,

alcohol or any other volatile cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive

cleaners, as they may damage the finish of metal parts. Avoid

spraying insecticide near the unit.

Important Safety Information

Moving the Unit

Verify Line Voltage Before Use

Before moving the unit, be certain to disconnect any interconnec-

tion cords with other components, and make certain that you dis-

connect the unit from the AC outlet.

Your CS3/CS5 has been designed for use with 220–240-volt AC

current. Connection to a line voltage other than that for which it is

intended can create a safety and fire hazard, and may damage the

unit.

Unpacking

The carton and shipping materials used to protect your new receiv-

er during shipment were specially designed to cushion it from

shock and vibration. We suggest that you save the carton and

packing materials for use in shipping if you move, or should the unit

ever need repair.

If you have any questions about the voltage requirements for your

specific model, or about the line voltage in your area, contact your

dealer before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.

Do Not Use Extension Cords

To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord attached to your

unit. We do not recommend that extension cords be used with this

product. As with all electrical devices, do not run power cords

under rugs or carpets or place heavy objects on them. Damaged

power cords should be replaced immediately by an authorized

service depot with a cord meeting factory specifications.

To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may wish to

flatten it. This is done by carefully slitting the tape seams on the

bottom and collapsing the carton. Other cardboard inserts may be

stored in the same manner. Packing materials that cannot be

collapsed should be saved along with the carton in a plastic bag.

If you do not wish to save the packaging materials, please note that

the carton and other sections of the shipping protection are

recyclable. Please respect the environment and discard those

materials at a local recycling center.

Handle the AC Power Cord Gently

When disconnecting the power cord from an AC outlet, always

pull the plug, never pull the cord. If you do not intend to use the unit

for any considerable length of time, disconnect the plug from the

AC outlet.

Audio-visual material may consist of copyright works which must

not be recorded without the permission of the owner of the

Do Not Open the Cabinet

There are no user-serviceable components inside this product.

Opening the cabinet may present a shock hazard, and any modifi-

cation to the product will void your guarantee. If water or any metal

object such as a paper clip, wire or a staple accidentally falls

inside the unit, disconnect it from the AC power source immediate-

ly, and consult an authorized service station.

Please refer to relevant laws covering copyright protection.

Copy Protection

This DVD player supports Macrovision copy protection. On DVD

discs that include a copy protection code, if the contents of the

DVD disc are copied using a VCR, the copy protection code

prevents the videotape copy from playing normally.

Installation Location

■ To ensure proper operation and to avoid the potential for safety

hazards, place the unit on a firm and level surface. When placing

the unit on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and any mounting

hardware can support the weight of the product.

For Optimal Performance

The receiver is a precision device that is constructed using

extremely accurate technology. Soiling or friction affecting the

pickup lens or disc drive can impair the image quality. In the worst

case, neither video nor audio will be played back. To obtain optimal

picture quality, the player should be checked (cleaning and

replacement of some parts) every 1,000 hours. Note that this period

varies, depending on the

TERMINOLOGY

Since they share some of the characteristics and technology of CD

players, many of the terms and operational concepts used in a DVD

player are similar to what you may be familiar with from CD players

and changers, or older video disc formats such as Laser Disc.

How-ever, if this is your first DVD product, some of the terms used

to describe the features of a DVD player may be unfamiliar. The fol-

lowing explanations should solve some of the mysteries of DVD,

and help you to enjoy all the power and flexibility of the DVD format

and the DVD.

acceptable, if the monitor is not too large and if there is not too

much motion in the image. Large displays and fast-moving images

reveal the limitations of this system. Thanks to DVD’s immense data

capacity, images are now stored intact (progressively), so that all

the lines in each frame (odd and even) are shown at the same time.

But because most TVs cannot handle a progressive signal, conven-

tional DVD players generate an interlaced output for compatibility.

This JBL DVD player is among the select few DVD players with true

progressive scan video output (NTSC and PAL) for use with compat-

ible TVs and CRT projectors, and with all plasma, LCD and DLP

display devices via the component video output. The result is 40%

greater light output than a conventional TV and a stunningly detailed

high-definition image, along with an almost complete absence of

visible scanlines and motion artifacts. Of course, traditional Y/Pr/Pb

component video, SCART, S-video and composite video outputs are

included for use with conventional televisions and projectors.

With the arrival of DVD, disc data capacity has increased dramati-

cally. On a DVD Video disc most of this capacity is taken up by

MPEG 2 video and the multichannel movie soundtrack in Dolby

Digital and/or DTS. This information is compressed.

Aspect Ratio: This is a description of the width of a video image in

relation to its height. A conventional video screen is four units wide

for every three units of height, that’s why the ratio is called ”4:3.”

Newer wide aspect ratio video displays are 16 units wide for every

nine units of height, making them more like the screen in a movie

theater. The program material on a DVD may be recorded in either

format and, in addition, you may configure the DVD to play back in

either format, depending on the features recorded on a disc.

Multiple-Angle: DVDs have the capability to show up to four differ-

ent views of the same scene in a program. When a disc is encoded

with multiple-angle information, pressing the Angle button will

enable you to switch between these different views. Note that at

present, few discs take advantage of this capability and, when they

do, the multiple-angle technology may only be present for short

periods of time within the disc. Producers will usually insert some

sort of icon or graphic in the picture to alert you to the availability

of multiple viewing angles.

High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI): HDMI has emerged

as the digital standard for connecting high-definition devices,

displays and components, and provides for the pristine

transmission of high-definition digital video and digital audio via a

single cable. HDMI is the first and only digital interface for

consumer electronics devices that can carry uncompressed high-

definition video, compressed or uncompressed multichannel audio

and command data, allowing customers to obtain pure digital

picture and sound directly from the source (as it was meant to be

seen and heard).

Reading: This is a message that you will see after you´ve loaded

the disc and the tray has closed. It refers to the fact that the player

must first examine the contents of the disc to see if it is a CD or

DVD, and then extract the information about the type of material on

the disc, such as languages, aspect ratios, subtitles, number of

titles and more. The slight delay while the contents of the disc are

read is normal.

USB On-the-Go: Due to its widespread acceptance, USB is

becoming the de facto industry standard for connecting peripherals

to PCs and laptops. Many of the new peripherals using USB are

also portable devices.

Resume: The operation of the Stop button on the DVD works differ-

ently from what you are used to on CD players. On a traditional CD

player, when you press the Stop button, the unit does just that – it

stops playback. On a CD player, when you press the start button

again, the disc starts from the beginning. With the DVD, however,

you have two options when playing DVD discs. Pressing Stop once

will stop playback, but it actually puts the unit in the Resume mode.

This means that you can turn the machine off and, when you press

play the next time, the disc will resume or continue from the point

on the disc where the Stop button was pressed. This is helpful if

you are watching a movie and must interrupt your viewing session

but wish to pick up where you left off. Pressing the Stop button

twice will stop the machine in a traditional manner and, when the

disc is played again, it will start from the beginning.

As these portable devices increase in popularity, there is a growing

need for them to communicate directly with each other when a PC

is not available – for instance, in consumer electronics products.

The USB On-the-Go technology addresses this need for mobile

interconnectivity.

Title: For a DVD, a title is defined as an entire movie or program.

There can be as many chapters within a title as the producers

decide to include. Most discs include only one title, but some may

have more than one, to give you a “Double Feature” presentation.

Chapter: DVD programs are divided into chapters and titles.

Chapters are the subsections programmed into a single title on a

disc, and may be compared to the individual tracks on an audio CD.

In resume mode, the cover of the DVD will be displayed, if

available. Otherwise, the JBL screen will appear.

RGB Video: This is a new form of video signal that eliminates many

of the artifacts of traditional composite video signals by splitting the

signal into the three fundamental colors Red, Green and Blue

(RGB). With an RGB connection (via SCART), you will see greater

picture resolution and eliminate many picture imperfections such

as the moiré patterns often seen on checkered patterned cloths.

However, in order to benefit from RGB video, you must have a video

display with an RGB compatible SCART input.

DivX: DivX is the name of a revolutionary new video codec which is

based on the MPEG-4 compression standard for video. This DVD

player will playback discs created with DivX software. The DVD

player’s playback functionalities of DivX video discs will vary

depending on the DivX software version used for creating your

movies. For more information about the different software versions

of DivX, please go to www.divx.com

Progressive Scan: DVD offers progressive scan video outputs for

use with compatible high-resolution televisions and projectors.

Before DVD, no consumer medium could store, transmit or display

video with full resolution. To conserve bandwidth, analog compres-

sion (interlacing) is employed: first the odd-numbered lines of a

frame are displayed, followed by the even-numbered lines. The

result is that only half of the video image is drawn at one time; the

viewer’s brain must reassemble the complete image. This is

ble that some discs may include a mix of features that are not com-

patible with the DVD. Similarly, although the DVD is capable of a

wide range of features, not all discs include every capability of the

DVD system. For example, although the DVD is compatible with

multi-angle discs, that feature is only possible when the disc is

specially encoded for multipleangle play. In addition, the DVD is

capable of playing back both Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks,

but the number and types of tracks available will vary from disc to

disc. To make certain that a specific feature or soundtrack option is

available, please check the options noted on the disc jacket.

BASIC INFORMATION

About This Manual

Regional Coding

• The types of functions and operations that can be used for a par-

ticular disc vary depending on the features of that disc. In some

cases, these functions and operations may differ from the

descriptions given in this manual. In this event, follow the instruc-

tions given on the screen. This manual only covers basic disc

operations.

DVD players and discs are designed with regional restrictions

which dictate the regions in which a disc can be played. If the

region number on the disc you want to play does not match the

region number of your DVD player, you will not be able to play the

disc. The message REGION ERR will appear in the front-panel

display. The region code of this player is indicated on the rear

panel and on the external packaging.

• For some operations, the icon may appear on the screen. This

indicates that the operation described in this manual is not

available on the disc in the player.

• On-screen and front-panel display illustrations in this manual are

purely for the purposes of explanation. The actual displays may

differ slightly from these illustrations.

Disc Handling Precautions

• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch

the surface.

• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc. If there is glue (or a similar

substance) on the disc, remove the glue completely before using

the disc.

• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources such as hot

air ducts, or leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as there can

be a considerable rise in temperature inside the car.

• After playing, store the disc in its case.

• Do not write on the label side with a ballpoint pen or other writing

utensils.

• Be careful not to drop or bend the disc.

Disc Cleaning Precautions

• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc

from the center out.

• Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially

available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

Disc Installing Precautions

• Do not install more than one disc on the disc tray.

• Do not place the disc on the tray upside down.

• Do not try to close the disc tray when the disc is not installed and

centered properly.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

After unpacking the unit, and placing it on a solid surface capable of

supporting its weight, you will need to make the connections to your

audio and video equipment.

HDMI Connection

If your TV set is equipped with an HDMI input, we suggest you use the

HDMI connection to connect your CS system and your TV. It will allow

you to watch your DVDs in the best possible picture quality. Most LCD,

plasma and video projectors have such an HDMI input nowadays.

Connect the HDMI Output H to the HDMI input of your video device.

Audio Equipment Connections

We recommend that you use high-quality interconnect cables

when making connections to source equipment and recorders to

preserve the integrity of the signals.

The HDMI wire does not transport audio signals from the TV to the CS,

so you need an additional audio connection (see note above).

When making connections to audio source equipment or speakers,

it is always a good practice to unplug the unit from the AC wall

outlet. This prevents any possibility of accidentally sending audio or

transient signals to the speakers that may damage them.

1. Connect the front, center and surround speaker outputs BCD to

the respective speakers.

Cables that are run inside walls should have the appropriate

markings to indicate listing with any appropriate testing agency

standards. Questions about running cables inside walls should be

referred to your installer or a licensed electrician who is familiar

with the applicable local building codes in your area.

If your TV set does not have an HDMI input, please follow one of the

steps below to connect it to your CS system or other video compo-

nents.

TV Connection (Method 1) – Using SCART Cable (Included)

To view the video from DVD discs on your TV set, connect the SCART

TV Out Jack 3 of the CS system to the SCART In jack of your TV set.

The audio connection runs through the same cable (see note above).

When connecting wires to the speakers, be certain to observe

proper polarity. Note that the positive (+) terminal of each speaker

connection now carries a specific color code. However, most

speakers will still use a red terminal for the postive (+) connection.

Connect the “negative” or “black” wire to the same terminal on

both the receiver and the speaker.

We also recommend that the length of cable used to connect

speaker pairs be identical. For example, use the same length

piece of cable to connect the front-left and front-right or

surround-left and surround-right speakers, even if the speakers

are a different distance from the CS receiver.

2. Connections to the subwoofer are made via a line-level audio

connection from the Subwoofer Output

input (purple) of the subwoofer. Connect at the same time the

to the line-level SUB

TV Connection (Method 2) – Using S-Video Cable (Not Included)

If your TV set has an S-video input jack, you can connect your TV to

the S-Video Out Jack 1 on the back of the CS receiver. S-video wires

don’t transport audio signals, so you need an additional audio con-

nection (see note above).

Subwoofer Trigger Output

to the Trigger Input of the sub-

woofer.

3. Connect the supplied FM antenna to the FM (75-Ohm)

connection. The FM antenna may be an external roof antenna,

an inside powered or wire lead antenna or a connection from a

cable system. Note that if the antenna or connection uses

300-ohm twin-lead cable, you should use a 300-ohm-to-75-ohm

adapter to make the connection.

Video Equipment Connections

Video equipment is connected in the same manner as audio

components. Again, the use of high-quality interconnect cables is

recommended to preserve signal quality.

TV Connection (Method 3) – Using Composite Video (Cable Not

Included)

Connecting the TV and Optional Components

If your TV set has neither S-video nor SCART input jacks, connect

NOTE: To be able to listen to the sound of a live TV show through the

loudspeakers of your CS system you need a connection between the

audio output of your TV and the CS receiver. To achieve this when

using the supplied SCART cable, you don’t need to connect any

additional wires – the SCART cable transports audio and video signals

in both directions. But when using the HDMI, component, S-video or

composite jacks you need to connect the audio output of your TV set

with the TV Audio In K on the back of your CS receiver. If your TV has

a digital audio output, it is recommended that you use that one, rather

than the analog audio output. Connect the digital output of your TV to

the Digital In 89 on the back of your CS receiver.

the Video Out Jack

of the CS to the Video In jack of your TV set.

The composite wire also doesn’t transport audio signals, so you

need to make additional connections (see earlier note).

Component Video Connection (Method 4)

If the video display has component video inputs, connect the

Component Video Outputs

on the CS3/CS5 to the corresponding

input jacks on your television. If you are using a progressive scan

television or projector, you must also change the Scan Type in the

DVD player’s Video Setup menu from ”Interlaced” to ”Progressive.”

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

Aux Output for Recording

To record the sound of the CS system with your VCR or any audio

recording device (tape deck, MD, CDR and some others), the Audio

Out Jacks

should be connected to the analog Record In jacks of

the appropriate device. They can also be connected to any audio

input on your TV to listen to the sound of your CS receiver through

the speakers of your TV only, when the amp in your subwoofer is

turned off and the volume of the CS receiver has been turned down

completely. If the speakers of your CS system are active, the

volume on your TV should be turned down.

Connecting VCR and Sat Decoder (Methods 5 and 6)

The diagram below shows possible connection methods for

common system configurations. These are intended as guidelines

only. Due to differences in equipment specifications, the method of

connection for your equipment may be different from that shown.

Please consult the owner’s manual for your equipment for further

guidance.

Digital In- and Outputs

Connect the digital output of any digital sources such as an

optional CD or DVD changer or player, advanced video game, a

digital satellite receiver, HDTV tuner or digital cable set-top box or

the output of a compatible computer sound card to the Optical and

Coaxial Digital Inputs 89.

Connect the Coaxial Digital Output

on the rear panel of the CS to

the matching digital input connections on a CD-R or MiniDisc recorder.

Note (When Connecting the Optical Digital Audio Cable – Optional):

Gently push the cable plug through the built-in shutter that covers

the optical digital audio output and connect the cable firmly so that

the configurations of both the cable and the connector match.

Speaker Placement

The placement of speakers in a multichannel home theater system

can have a noticeable impact on the quality of sound reproduced.

Connecting Set-Top Box or Digital Satellite Receiver (Method 7) –

Using Coaxial Digital Cable

Depending on your viewing device, place the center speaker either

directly above or below your TV, or in the center behind a

perforated front-projection screen.

To listen to the digital multichannel signal or downmix from set-top

boxes or digital satellite receivers, connect the Coaxial Digital Out

of your device to the Coaxial Digital In

on the CS receiver.

Once the center channel speaker is installed, position the left-front

and right-front speakers so that they are as far away from one

another as the center channel speaker is from the preferred

listening position. Ideally, the front-channel speakers should be

placed so that their tweeters are no more than 60cm above or

below the tweeter in the center channel speaker.

Depending on the specifics of your room acoustics, you may find

that imaging is improved by moving the front-left and front-right

speakers slightly forward of the center channel speaker. If possi-

ble, adjust all front loudspeakers so that they are aimed at ear

height when you are seated in the listening position.

Using these guidelines, you’ll find that it takes some experimenta-

tion to find the correct location for the front speakers in your

particular installation. Don’t be afraid to move things around until

the system sounds correct. Optimize your speakers so that audio

transitions across the front of the room sound smooth.

Optional Audio Connections

Aux Input for External Source

You may connect a line-level stereo analog audio source such as a

Sat receiver, tape deck, phono preamp of a record player, etc., to

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

Once the speakers have been placed in the room and connected,

the remaining steps are to program the system configuration mem-

ories.

First Turn-On

You are now ready to power up the CS3/CS5 receiver to begin final

adjustments.

1. Plug the Power Cable

into an unswitched AC outlet. Note that

the Power Indicator

will turn orange, indicating that the unit

is in the Standby mode.

A) Front channel speaker installation with direct-view TV sets or

rear-screen projectors

2. Remove the protective plastic film from the main front-panel lens.

If left in place, the film may affect the performance of your

remote control.

3. Install the three supplied AAA batteries in the remote as shown.

Be certain to follow the (+) and (–) polarity indicators that are on

the top of the battery compartment.

4. Turn the CS3/CS5 on either by pressing the Power On/Off

the Input Source Selectors on the remote control. The

Power Indicator will turn blue to confirm that the unit is on,

and the Main Information Display

will also light up.

Basic Playback

Preparation

B) The distance between the left and right speakers should be

equal to the distance from the seating position to the viewing

screen. You may also experiment with placing the left and right

speakers slightly forward of the center speaker. Rear speaker

mounting is an alternate location for 5.1 systems.

1. Switch the TV ON and select its video input connected to the CS

receiver.

2. When you switch on the CS system receiver, a JBL welcome

image should appear on the screen. If that screen appears dis-

torted or without color, change the appropriate settings at the

Video Setting submenu according to your TV set and to the con-

nection used between the CS receiver and your TV.

Rear surround speakers may also be used in 5.1-channel mode as

an alternative mounting position when it is not practical to place

the main surround speakers at the sides of the room. Speakers may

be placed on a rear wall, behind the listening position. As with the

side speakers, the center of the rear surrounds should face you.

The speakers should be no more than 2 meters behind the rear of

the seating area.

3. If there is no picture at all, not even the JBL screen, check the

setting of the video input used on your TV (most SCART inputs on

TVs can be configured in the TV’s menu). If this doesn’t work,

connect your TV with different cables to the CS receiver, e.g., via

composite (yellow jacks) or S-video cables, rather than SCART to

view the setup menus until all appropriate Video menu settings

are made properly.

Subwoofers produce largely nondirectional sound, so they may be

placed almost anywhere in a room. Actual placement should be

based on room size. One method of finding the optimal location for

a subwoofer is to begin by placing it in the front of the room, about

15cm from a wall, or near the front corner of the room. Another

method is to temporarily place the subwoofer in the spot where you

will normally sit, and then walk around the room until you find a

spot where the subwoofer sounds best. Place the subwoofer in

that spot.

4. Press Open/Close

to open the disc tray.

5. Place a disc on the disc tray.

Hold the disc without touching either of its surfaces, position it

with the side you wish to play facing down, align it with the

guides, and place it in its proper position.

• 3" (8cm) discs or 5" (12cm) discs can be used.

6. After the discs slides into the loader, it will start playing

automatically.

One of the most important features of the CS3/CS5 receiver is its

ability to reproduce a full multichannel surround sound field from

digital sources, analog Matrix surround-encoded programs and

standard Stereo programs.

NOTES:

Selection of a surround mode is based on personal taste, as well as

the type of program source material being used. For example,

motion pictures, CDs or TV programs bearing the logo of one of the

major surround-encoding processes (such as Dolby Surround)

should be played in either the Dolby Pro Logic II Movie (with

movies) or Music (with music) surround mode.

SYSTEM SETUP

System Defaults

The final step of the installation is to establish the system’s

defaults. It is helpful to take a few minutes to familiarize yourself

with these settings, as they may require change before the first use

and later from time to time.

General Functionality of the OSD Menu

The complete setup and control of the CS3/CS5 takes place in an

advanced user-guided on-screen display (OSD) menu system. The

OSD can be activated by pressing the OSD

button on the

remote control. Pressing this button again de-activates the OSD.

The main menu consists of a Player menu, Radio menu, TV menu,

AUX menu, Digital menu, USB menu and Setup menu. The Player

menu will show all information and options available for the disc

currently playing. The Radio menu will show radio and RDS options.

The TV, AUX and Digital menus show the surround options for these

specific audio inputs. The USB menu will show all information and

options available when USB thumb devices or portable hard disks

are connected. The Setup menu will help you configure all audio

and video settings which are normally only made once.

Depending on how your CS system is connected to your TV set, two

different on-screen displays are available. When the CS is connect-

ed via any of the standard definition connections (SCART, S-video,

composite video or standard component video), the OSD will be

icon-based. When the CS is connected via any of the high-defini-

tion connections (HDMI or high-definition component video), the

OSD will be text-based. In the next chapters, we will show both the

standard-definition version and the high-definition version, to make

the initial setup as easy as possible.

Setup Menu

The first step in checking or changing the system defaults is to

access the Setup menu. First, make certain that the CS receiver is

properly connected to a video display, and that power is

connected. For this process, however, you do not need to load a

disc into the unit.

Many menus contain submenus or text lines. These submenus are

shown as icons on the left side of the menu, depending on whether

you are watching the standard-definition OSD or high-definition

after which the Status Bar will disappear from the screen.

Parental Control: Defines a password used to control viewing of

restricted programs. The default password is 8888. After pressing

the default password, either the parental control setting can be

chosen, or a new password. The five standard US rating symbols

are ”G” (General, level 1), ”PG” (Parental Guidance, level 3),

”PG13” (Parental Guidance and 13 years old, level 4), ”R”

(Restricted, level 6) and ”NC 17” (from 17 years old, level 7). The

DVD will accommodate a total of eight rating steps, as set by the

DVD creators. These additional steps allow for more critical control

of program playback for all audiences. Level 8: All DVDs can be

played. Levels 7 to 2: DVDs for general audiences/children can be

played. Level 1: DVDs for children can be played; DVDs for

adults/general audiences are prohibited. Follow the explanations

on the screen to set a new password.

Dynamic Range: This setting allows you to take advantage of the

programming present on some Dolby Digital recordings to reduce

the volume of louder passages while maintaining intelligibility of

quieter passages. This means that you may listen to programs at a

level that allows the full impact of a soundtrack to be heard at a

volume that is lower than you might otherwise use to avoid

disturbing others. The CS3/CS5 accomplishes this by compressing

the audio to a greater or lesser degree, depending on which setting

you choose. Three options are available:

• MINIMUM does not make any changes to the original playback,

and should be used when the volume setting in the listening room

may be as loud as you desire.

Disc Recognition: When set to on, the next time a disc is inserted,

the CS will show a “Disc Recognized” message, with the question

if you would like to play the disc from the beginning or would like to

resume from where you last stopped the disc. The memory can

contain information of the last 100 discs played.

• MEDIUM applies a moderate amount of compression so that

louder passages are a little bit quieter.

• MAXIMUM applies more compression so that louder passages

are much softer.

PBC Support: Activates PBC (Play Back Control) Support for VCD

discs.

Feel free to experiment with the settings at any time.

Screen Saver: Activates a screen saver to prevent image “burn” in

a video display device. If you connect the CS receiver to a plasma

screen or video projector, we recommend you activate the screen

saver at all times.

Delay Unit: This setting sets the measuring unit for Delay in either

Feet or Meter.

Tone Control: Activates or deactivates the Bass and Treble settings.

Once either the Bass or Treble settings are changed, the Tone

Control automatically switches to ON.

Show Angle Icon: Determines whether the Angle Icon will appear

on the screen when there are different angles available on a DVD

disc.

Bass Level: Sets the level of low frequencies.

Treble Level: Sets the level of high frequencies.

DVD Sound Mode: Sets the audio format of the DVD-disc playing

(for other sources, see Surround Mode in each respective chapter).

Once set to Stereo, every surround format on a DVD will be con-

verted to a pure stereo signal. Once set to DPLII, all stereo signals

on a DVD are forced into 5.1, leaving all multichannel signals in

their original format. This setting is recommended. The original will

follow the surround format on the disc.

SYSTEM SETUP

Audio Adjustment

Video Settings

The Audio Adjustment submenu contains the access to the speaker

delay and the output level adjustment settings of the CS3/CS5.

Follow the explanations in the Upper Menu Line on the bottom of

your screen to make adjustments.

The Video Setting submenu contains the following settings. Follow

the explanations in the Upper Menu Line on the bottom of your

screen to change the settings.

Aspect Ratio: This step selects the TV aspect ratio, conventional

screen shape (4:3) or widescreen (16:9), according to your TV. If

you have a conventional 4:3 TV that can (automatically) switch to

show a 16:9 format, you should select 16:9 rather than 4:3.

Delay

Due to the different distances between the listening position for the

front channel speakers and the surround speakers, the amount of

time it takes for sound to reach your ears from the front or sur-

round speakers is different. You may compensate for this difference

through the use of the delay settings to adjust the timing for the

specific speaker placement and acoustic conditions in your listen-

ing room or home theater.

TV Standard: Sets the output video format (i.e., NTSC or PAL), of the

CS receiver. If you have a multistandard TV, we recommend the

AUTO setting for optimal picture quality.

Scan Type: Sets the component video output to Interlace or

Progressive. Before changing the setting to Progressive, make sure

that your video display connected to the component output is capa-

ble of handling progressive scan signals. As soon as you select

progressive scan the scan type, the video output will automatically

change to component. All other outputs, composite video on cinch,

SCART and S-video, will be kept interlaced. The interlaced

composite and S-video outputs remain active for connection to a

second (interlaced) video display.

Measure the distance from the listening position to each of the

individual loudspeakers. Once done, select per loudspeaker the

distance that is closest to the one measured.

Output Level Adjustment

Output level adjustment is a key part of the configuration process

for any surround sound product.

NOTE: Listeners are often confused about the operation of the sur-

round channels. While some assume that sound should always be

coming from each speaker, most of the time there will be little or no

sound in the surround channels. This is because they are only used

when a movie director or sound mixer specifically places sound

there to create ambiance, a special effect or to continue action

from the front of the room to the rear. When the output levels are

properly set it is normal for surround speakers to operate only

occasionally. Artificially increasing the volume to the rear speakers

may destroy the illusion of an enveloping sound field that dupli-

cates the way you hear sound in a movie theater or concert hall.

Video Output: Sets the video output type to SCART or component.

SCART will be used for most TVs. Component will be used for most

LCD, plasma and projectors.

SCART Output: Selects which kind of video output signals will be

routed over the scart. RGB will be used for most TV’s as it provides

the best picture quality.

Video Mode: This setting affects only the Component Video

Outputs, and it controls how the video signals are optimized for

progressive scan display. In most cases, the “automatic” mode is

your best choice, as it senses whether the disc being played was

originally recorded on video or shot on film. However, in some

cases you may wish to compensate for errors in the disc authoring

that occur when the frame rate is not properly maintained when

films are converted to video. Three choices are available:

The default settings of the DVD player is 0dB for all channels. In

case you feel adjustments are necessary in your setup, we advise

you to make the adjustments using the internal test tone generator.

Once the cursor is moved to any of the speaker level icons, the test

noise will be heard from the corresponding speaker. If this is not

the case please check whether the loudspeaker is connected to

the correct loudspeaker output on the rear panel. The speaker level

can be adjusted by pressing Enter 6 and selecting an appropriate

level indicated in the Lower Menu Line. The test noise will stop as

soon as the cursor is moved away from any speaker level icon.

• Auto: This is the recommended setting, as it lets the CS system

analyze the signals from the DVD and adjust the output

accordingly.

• Movie: Choose this option for optimal playback of material that

was shot on film, even though you are viewing it on video via a

DVD.

Video Resolution: Selects the resolution of the video output. When

the CS system is connected to either one of the composite, S-video

or SCART connectors, this setting should be left in Standard.

When you connect your CS system via a digital HDMI or component

video connection, the preferred setting is either 720p (progressive

TEST SCREEN

When you activate the Test Screen via the OSD you can activate a

still image to test all settings and the video performance of your TV.

With the vertical color bars you can test the following:

4. The gray scale in the middle line needs to have the same clear

difference between each bar as before the contrast adjustment.

If not, go back to the brightness adjustment and repeat Step 3,

and then the contrast adjustments, making only minor

adjustments each time for optimization.

• Proper color intensity setting on your TV.

• The proper color of each bar, showing if the proper video stan-

dard is turned on: the colors should be (left to right): black, white,

yellow, cyan (turquoise), green, magenta (purple), red, blue, black.

Color Adjustment

1. When the brightness and the contrast are set optimally, turn up

the color control to the level of your preference. Adjust to the

level where the colors look strong but still natural, not overdone.

If the color level is too high, depending from the TV used, some

of the bars will seem wider or the color intensity will not increase

while the control is turned up. Then the color control must be

reduced again. At the end, you should test the color intensity

also with a video – e.g., pictures of natural faces, flowers, fruit

and vegetables and other familiar, natural objects most useful for

an optimal setting of the color intensity.

• Proper color transition, seen as sharp separation of the bars;

S-video will be better than “Video,” RGB best of all.

• The performance of the color filter in your TV (with ”Video”

signals), bar edges should show no vertical crawling dots. Here,

S-video and RGB formats usually give no problems.

With the gray scale and the black/white fields below the color bars,

the brightness and contrast of your screen can be adjusted

optimally; see chapter ”TV Picture Adjustment” below.

2. If your TV has a Tint option (with most European TVs this is avail-

able or effective only with NTSC signals, not with PAL), use the

large white bar below the gray scale to tweak the warmth of the

picture. Every viewer has a different preference as to how the

glow of the picture should be. Some prefer a little colder picture,

some a warmer glow. The Tint function on your TV and the white

bar can be used to control this. Adjust the Tint to the level at

which you feel the white color has the tone you prefer.

Sharpness Adjustment

Contrary to intuition, the picture will appear sharper and clearer

with the sharpness, or Edges, setting backed off from the maximum

setting. Reduce the sharpness setting on your television, and the

Edges setting on the CS3/CS5 video adjustments menu, if neces-

sary, to minimize the appearance of any white lines between the

bars in the gray scale portion of the test screen.

TV Picture Adjustment With Test Screen

These adjustments may be done now, but you can also make them

after setup has been finalized.

Brightness Adjustment

1. Turn down the color control on your TV until the color bars are

visible in black and white.

Convergence and Edge Focus

The crosshatch pattern that surrounds the test screen may be used

to evaluate edge focus and convergence in front- or rear-projection

video displays. However, the controls used to adjust these

parameters are often not user-accessible.

2. Adjust the contrast to the lowest level where you still can see all

bars within the gray scale in the test picture separately and

clearly.

3. Adjust the brightness so that the bars in the gray scale are all

visible. The bar furthest to the left has to be as black as possible

rather than gray but the next must clearly be differentiated.

All the bars in the gray scale have to be gradually and evenly

changing from black to whiter, going from left to right.

In any event, these adjustments are extremely complex, and

require proper training and experience to avoid worsening the

situation. Therefore, it is recommended that if you are unable to

improve the picture using the available controls, contact the video

display manufacturer’s authorized service representative for

assistance.

Contrast Adjustment

1. Adjust the contrast on your TV until you see a bright white bar in

the lower right corner of the screen and a deep dark black bar

on the left. The optimal contrast setting will depend on your

preference and the surrounding light in the TV room.

When all desired setup and configuration entries have been made,

use the

buttons until “Done” is highlighted at

the bottom of the Video Adjustments submenu. Press the Enter

button to select it to return to the on-screen menu system. Then,

press the Setup button to remove the menu displays from the

2. If the brightness of the white bar stops increasing while turning

up the contrast or when the borders of the white ”JBL” text

letters on top bloom (overlight) into the black areas, drastically

decreasing the sharpness of the script, then the contrast has

been turned up too much. Reduce the contrast until these effects

disappear and the video still looks realistic.

screen. The unit will return to normal operation and you are ready

to enjoy the finest in DVD or CD playback!

3. If you are watching TV with ordinary surrounding daylight, adjust

the contrast so that a typical video picture has about the same

look as the surroundings in your room. That way, the eye is

relaxed when watching the TV picture. This contrast setting may

be reduced when the surrounding light is dimmed, usually

improving the sharpness of a video considerably.

• Make sure the correct video input on the TV is selected for

viewing with this system.

• Check the speaker connections.

• Depending on the DVD disc, the output signal may at times be

mono or stereo, even if the soundtrack is recorded in Dolby Digital

format.

Interference appears in the picture.

• Clean the disc.

• If video from this system has to go through your VCR to get to your

TV, the copy-protection applied to some DVD programs could

affect picture quality. If you still experience problems after

checking your connections, please try connecting your DVD

system directly to your TV’s S-video input, if your TV is equipped

with this input (see page 14).

GLOSSARY

Bit Rate

DVD

Value indicating the amount of video data compressed in a DVD per

second. The unit is Mbps (megabits per second). 1 Mbps indicates

that the data per second is 1,000,000 bits. The higher the bit rate,

the larger the amount of data. However, this does not always mean

higher quality pictures.

A disc that contains up to eight hours of moving pictures even

though its diameter is the same as a CD. The data capacity of a

single-layer and single-sided DVD, at 4.7GB (gigabyte), is 7 times

that of a CD. Furthermore, the data capacity of a dual-layer and

single-sided DVD is 8.5GB, a single-layer and double-sided DVD

9.4GB, and a dual-layer and double-sided DVD 17GB. The picture

data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of the worldwide standards of

digital compression technology. The picture data is compressed to

about 1/40 of its original size.

Chapter

Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD that are smaller

than titles. Many titles are composed of several chapters, but many

others are not. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number

enabling you to locate the chapter you want.

The DVD also uses the variable rate coding technology that

changes the data to be allocated according to the status of the pic-

ture. The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS and/or PCM,

allowing you to enjoy more natural audio presence. Furthermore,

various advanced functions such as multi-angle, multilingual, and

subtitles may be provided with the DVD.

Dolby Digital (“5.1,” “AC-3 ”)

This sound format for movie theaters is more advanced than Dolby

Pro Logic Surround. In this format, the rear speakers output stereo

sound with an expanded frequency range and a subwoofer channel

for deep bass is independently provided. This format is also called

“5.1” because the subwoofer channel is counted as the 0.1 channel

(since it functions only when a deep bass effect is needed). All six

channels in this format are recorded separately for superior chan-

nel separation. Furthermore, since all the signals are processed

digitally, less signal degradation occurs. The name “AC-3” comes

from the fact that it is the third audio coding method to be devel-

oped by the Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

Multi-Angle Function

Various angles or viewpoints of the video camera for a scene are

recorded on some DVDs.

Multilingual Function

Several languages for the sound or subtitles in a picture are

recorded on some DVDs.

Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. “Dolby,”

“AC-3,” “Pro Logic” and the Double-D symbol are trademarks of

Parental Control

A function of some (particulary U.S.) DVDs to limit playback of the

disc by the age of the users. The limitation varies from disc to disc.

When it is activated, playback is completely prohibited, violent

scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes and so on.

Dolby Pro Logic II Surround

This is a method of decoding stereo or surround recordings that

produces five channels from 2-channel sound. Compared with the

former Dolby Surround system, Dolby Pro Logic II Surround

reproduces left-to-right panning more naturally and localizes

sounds more precisely. To take full advantage of Dolby Pro Logic II

Surround, you should have a pair of rear speakers and a center

speaker. The rear speakers output stereo sound.

Title

The longest sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD; a

movie, etc., for a picture piece on video software; or an album, etc.,

for a music piece on an audio software. Each title is assigned a title

number enabling you to locate the title you want.

Track

Sections of a music piece on a CD. Each track is assigned a track

DTS

number enabling you to locate the track you want.

Digital audio compression technology developed by DTS, Inc.

This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround. The rear channels

are stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format.

DTS provides 5.1 discrete channels of high-quality digital audio.

Good channel separation is realized, because all channels are

recorded discretely and processed digitally.

PCM
