Before making connections  
• Do not connect the AC power cord until all other  
connections have been made.  
Preparations  
• 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.  
NOTE  
If your TV has an AV COMPU LINK terminal, you can use the AV  
COMPU LINK function. See “AV COMPU LINK remote control  
system” on page 29 for details.  
Connections  
• In the following description, “TV” may be substituted with  
“monitor” or “projector.”  
• Terminal names used for other components may be different  
from those used in the following description.  
Before using the player, connect the player to a TV and/or  
amplifier.  
Connecting to a TV  
The following sections A to C describe TV connections where  
only a TV is connected to the player so that you will hear audio  
from the TV.  
NOTE  
If your TV has a monaural audio input instead of stereo, you need  
to use an optional audio cable which converts stereo audio output  
to monaural.

C Connecting to a TV with component jacks  
You can enjoy picture of high-fidelity color reproduction by  
connecting the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks on the player to  
your TV.  
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-field-per-second interlaced)  
information.  
NOTES  
• Connect “Y” to “Y,” “PB” to “PB” (CB), “PR” to “PR” (CR) correctly.  
• When using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks, do not  
connect the S-VIDEO output jack on the player.  
• If your TV has component video input jacks of BNC type, use an  
adapter which converts a pin jack to a BNC jack (not supplied).  
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.  
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.  
• The Progressive scanning mode works for the NTSC color  
system format only.

Thus you can select the desired scanning mode using the

NOTES  
• The Progressive scanning mode works only when you connect  
the player’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to your 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.  
Activating the Progressive scanning mode using the remote  
control unit  
When the player is turned on and the VIDEO SIGNAL  
SELECTOR is set to “NTSC 525i/p REMOTE,” press and hold  
down VFP - I/P for a few seconds.  
The scanning mode switches between the Progressive scanning  
and Interlaced scanning modes.  
• 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.  
When the scanning mode is set to the Progressive mode, the [P]  
indicator lights up in the display window.  
Depending on the [PICTURE SOURCE] preference display and  
whether the current DVD VIDEO disc is film-source or video-  
source, the indicator that lights up in the display window differs,  
as shown in the table below.

Connecting to a digital audio device  
NOTES  
You can enjoy sound of enhanced quality by connecting the  
player’s DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL) jack to a digital input of an  
amplifier, etc., using a coaxial digital cable. The digital audio  
signal on a disc will be transferred directly from the player. If the  
connected digital audio equipment is a Dolby Digital or DTS  
decoder or an amplifier with a built-in decoder, you can enjoy  
high-quality surround sound.  
• It is not recommended to use the digital jacks for dubbing.  
When recording the sounds (DVD VIDEO, SVCD, Video CD or  
Audio CD) played back on the player, record them through the  
analog jacks.  
• Depending on the disc, no signal may be output from the  
DIGITAL OUT. Make an analog connection in this case.  
• Set [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] in the [AUDIO] preference  
display correctly according to the connected digital audio  
equipment. If setting made for [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] is  
incorrect, loud noise may be generated causing damage to  
the speakers (see page 26).

Changing the resume mode  
The player has three resume modes; ON, OFF and DISC  
RESUME.  
7 3  
• You can select the mode using the preference display (see  
page 26).  
When the resume mode is “OFF”  
Playback always starts from the beginning.  
When the resume mode is “DISC RESUME”  
The player memorizes interrupted positions for the last 30 discs  
played. Storing a new interrupted position will erase the  
interrupted position stored for the first disc.  
The memory of the interrupted positions are not cleared even if  
you open the disc tray or turn off the player.  
NOTES  
• If you change the [RESUME] setting from [DISC RESUME] to  
[OFF] or [ON], you cannot resume playback of a disc whose  
“resuming” position is stored. However, when you again set  
[RESUME] to [DISC RESUME], you will then be able to resume  
playback of the disc.  
• If you interrupt the playback of a disc for which an interrupted  
position has already been stored, the memory will be updated  
with the new interrupted position.  
• For a double-sided DVD VIDEO disc, the player regards each  
side as a different disc. Therefore, to resume playback of such a  
disc, the disc must be inserted with the same side down.  
• When the player memorizes an iterrupted point for a disc, it also  
memorizes Audio, Subtitle and Angle settings.  
3(SELECT)

• The player may not resume playback exactly from the  
interrupted point. In the case of an SVCD/Video CD disc with  
PBC function, the player may resume playback from a point  
slightly earlier or later than the point where playback was  
interrupted.

About On-screen guide icons  
You may see the following icons displayed over the picture.  
They have the following meanings.

the disc tray.  
This is because the player’s resume mode is set to ON when you  
purchased the player.  
: Appears at the beginning of playback mode.  
: Appears at the beginning of pause mode.  
When the resume mode is set to ON, the player memorizes the  
position on a disc where you interrupted playback.  
• When you press 7to interrupt playback, the TV screen shows  
[RESUME STOP] and the [RESUME] indicator lights up in the  
display window.

playback with the current speed (see page 11).  
• When you re-start playback, the TV screen shows [RESUME  
PLAY].  
: Appears at the beginning of slow-motion playback  
with the current speed (see page 11).  
Hint  
The memory of the interrupted position is not cleared even if you  
turn off the player.  
: Appears at the beginning of a scene recorded from  
multiple angles (see page 16).

You can change the setting so that the on-screen guide icons  
do not appear on the TV screen (see page 26).  
About screen saver function  
A television monitor may have an image burned into it if a static  
image is displayed for a long time. To prevent this, the player

while no button is pressed for over 5 minutes.  
When the screen saver function is activated, the TV screen  
gets darker.  
Pressing any buttons will release the screen saver function.

Notes for making files/groups  
• If a file name includes even one 2-byte character, the player  
may not show the file name correctly.  
• The player supports up to 12 characters as the group/file  
names.  
• The player can only recognize files with one of the following  
extensions, which can be in any combination of upper and lower  
case:  
- For MP3 files, “.MP3,” “.mp3.”  
- For JPEG files, “.JPG,” “.JPEG,” “.jpg,” “.jpeg.”  
- For MPEG-4 files, “.ASF,” “.asf.”  
Outline  
The player can play back MP3/JPEG/MPEG-4 (simple profile/asf  
file) files on either a personally recorded CD-R/RW disc, or a  
commercially available CD.  
You can select and play back files using the Control display on  
the TV screen.  
• For MP3 files:  
- It is recommended that you record your material at a 44.1 kHz  
sampling rate, using the 128 kbps data transfer rate.  
- ID 3 Tag is not available.  
• The player may be unable to play back a disc due to the  
characteristics or recording conditions.  
- MP3i and MP3 Pro are not available.  
• For JPEG files:

pixel resolution.  
Precautions  
About files and folders (groups) on the disc  
- This player supports the baseline JPEG and progressive  
JPEG formats.  
• Files are sometimes grouped into folders by genre, album, etc.  
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,” “.jpeg” and “.mp3.”  
• Time required for reading the disc contents may vary for  
different discs, depending on the numbers of folders (groups)  
and files recorded, etc.  
- The player does not support a baseline-formatted picture of  
more than 5120 x 3413 pixels. Make sure that the pictures  
pixel size is 5120 x 3413 pixels or less.  
- The player cannot play back a progressive JPEG file of more  
than 2048 x 1536 pixels.  
- Depending on the TV used, the border area of the picture may  
be cut off.  
• For MPEG-4 files:  
- This player supports the type of simple profile and asf as  
MPEG-4 files.  
- To play back MPEG-4 files created on a digital still/video  
camera on this player, record them on a CD-R/RW disc and  
play it back.  
• Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into “group  
1.”  
- The size of the playback screen will be the same size as it is  
recorded.  
- Some recorded files may not be able to be played back  
depending on file characteristics, kind of digital still/video  
cameras, or recording conditions.  
- Some MPEG-4 files created on a personal computer may not  
be played back.

Appendix D: Glossary  
525i/525p/625i  
JPEG  
Indicates the number of scanning lines and scanning format of an  
image signal. 525i indicates 525 scanning lines with interlace  
format, 525p indicates 525 scanning lines with progressive  
format, and 625i indicates 625 scanning lines with interlace  
format.  
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  
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.  
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.  
Aspect ratio  
MP3  
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.  
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.  
Bitstream  
MPEG-4  
The digital form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1-channel)  
MPEG-4 is an audio/video data compression format, which is  
before it is decoded into its various channels.  
highly efficient and more stable than MPEG-1 and MPEG-2.  
Chapter/title  
MPEG Multichannel  
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.  
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.  
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).  
NTSC (National television system committee)  
A black and white and color television system format used in the  
U.S.A., Canada, Mexico and Japan.  
Composite video  
PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)  
A color television system format used extensively in Western  
Europe.  
A single video signal commonly used in most consumer video  
products that contains all luminance, color, and synchronization  
information.  
PBC  
Dolby Digital (AC3)  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.
