1. Turn off the main power of the TV before  
setting up the speakers.  
2. Place the speakers enough distance from the  
TV so that they do not cause color irregularity  
on the TV.  
Before connecting the power cable of the sub-  
woofer to an AC outlet, you must set the correct  
voltage for your area.  
3. Wait for approximately 30 minutes before  
turning on the main power of the TV again.  
* The subwoofers for DD-3 and DD-1 are not  
magnetically shielded. With the exception of  
these 2 subwoofers, the supplied speakers  
are magnetically shielded.

Notes on handling  
Avoid moisture, water and dust  
Do not place the system in moist or dusty places.  
Important cautions  
Avoid high temperatures  
Do not expose the system to direct sunlight and do  
not place it near a heating equipment.  
Installation of the system  
• Select a place which is level, dry and neither too  
hot nor too cold; between 5°C and 35°C.  
• Leave sufficient distance between the system  
and the TV.  
• Do not use the system in a place subject to

• A small amount of power is always consumed  
while the power cord is connected to the wall  
outlet.  
• When unplugging the power cord from the wall  
outlet, always pull on the plug, not the power  
cord.  
Blocking the vents may damage the system.  
Care of the cabinet  
When cleaning the system, use a soft cloth and fol-  
low the relevant instructions on the use of chemi-  
cally-coated cloths. Do not use benzene, thinner or  
other organic solvents including disinfectants.  
These may cause deformation or discoloring.  
To prevent malfunctions of the system  
• There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If  
anything goes wrong, unplug the power cord and  
consult your dealer.  
If water gets inside the system  
Turn the system off and disconnect the power cord  
plug from the wall outlet, then call the store where  
you made your purchase. Using the system in this  
condition may cause fire or electrical shock.  
• Do not insert any metallic object into the system.

• Even though listed above, some types may be  
unplayable.  
Region code of DVD VIDEO  
DVD VIDEO players and DVD VIDEO discs have  
their own Region Code numbers. This system can  
play back a DVD VIDEO whose Region Code  
number includes the system’s Region Code, which  
is indicated on the rear panel.  
1 Discs should be finalized before being played  
back.  
*
*
*
2 For files recorded on a DVD-R/DVD-RW, the  
disc should be formatted with UDF Bridge.  
3 This system may not recognize some USB  
mass storage class devices. This system can-  
not play back a file whose data volume is more  
than 2 gigabytes and a file whose data transfer  
rate is more than 2 Mbps.  
Examples:  
For Australia, Central and South America  
It is possible to play back finalized +R/+RW (DVD  
Video Format only) discs. “DVD” lights on the front  
display panel when a +R/+RW disc is loaded.  
For the Middle Eastern countries  
Some discs may not be played back because of  
their disc characteristics, recording conditions, or  
damage or stains on them.  
For countries/areas other than Australia, Cen-  
tral and South America, or Middle Eastern  
countries  
Only sounds can be played back from the following  
discs:  
MIX-MODE CD  
CD-EXTRA  
CD-G  
CD TEXT  
If a DVD VIDEO with an improper region code  
number is loaded, “REGION CODE ERROR!”  
appears on the TV screen and playback cannot  
start.  
This system accommodates the NTSC and PAL  
systems.  
• On some DVD VIDEOs, VCDs, SVCDs or DivX  
files, their actual operation may be different  
from what is explained in this manual. This is  
due to the disc/file programming and disc/file  
structure, not a malfunction of this system.  
49  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
• Playing back an MP3/WMA file including a still  
image may take a long time. The elapsed time is  
not displayed until playing back starts. If playing  
back starts, the elapsed time may not be dis-  
played correctly.  
• For an MP3/WMA file, a disc with a sampling fre-  
quency of 44.1 kHz and transmission rate of  
128 kbps is recommended.  
Unplayable discs  
• The following discs cannot be played back:  
• DVD-ROM (except for MP3/WMA/JPEG/ASF/  
DivX/MPEG1/MPEG2 format), DVD-RAM, CD-  
ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, SACD, etc.  
• Playing back these discs will generate noise and  
damage the speakers.  
• Damaged discs and discs in an extraordinary  
shape (other than a disc of 12 cm or 8 cm in  
diameter) cannot be played back.  
• JVC does not guarantee the operation and  
sound quality of discs not authorized by CD-DA,  
which is a CD specification.  
Before playback, confirm that the disc complies  
with this CD specification by checking the marks  
and reading notes printed on the package.  
• This system is not compatible with MP3i or  
MP3PRO.  
• This system can play back a baseline JPEG file,  
excluding monochromatic JPEG files.  
• This system can play back JPEG data taken with  
a digital camera conforming to the DCF (Design  
Rule for Camera File System) standard (when a  
function is applied such as the automatic rotation  
function of a digital camera, data goes beyond  
the DCF standard, so the image may not be dis-  
played).  
Playable MP3/WMA/WAV/JPEG/  
ASF/DivX/MPEG1/MPEG2 discs/  
files  
• If data has been processed, edited and restored  
with computer image editing software, the data  
may not be displayed.  
• This system cannot play back animations such  
as MOTION JPEG, still pictures (TIFF etc.) other  
than JPEG, or image data with sound.  
• The resolution of 640 x 480 pixels is recom-  
mended for JPEG files. If a file has been  
recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 480  
pixels, display may take a long time. An image  
with a resolution of more than 8 192 x 7 680 pix-  
els cannot be displayed.  
• The system supports ASF files recorded with the  
maximum bit rate of 384 kbps and an audio  
coder decoder of G.726.  
• For a WAV file, a disc with a sampling frequency  
of 44.1 kHz and a transmission rate of 16 bits is  
recommended.  
• CDs recorded in the ISO 9660 format are play-  
able (except CDs recorded in the “packet write”  
format (UDF format)).  
• CDs recorded in the multi-session format are  
also playable.  
• Files with an extension of “.mp3”, “.wma”, “.wav”,  
“.jpg”, “.jpeg”, “.asf”, “.divx”, “.div”, “.avi”, “.mpg”  
or “.mpeg” (extensions with uppercase and low-  
ercase letters mixed are also acceptable) are  
playable.  
• This system cannot play back DVDs recorded in  
multi-session or multi-border format.  
Notes on MP3/WMA/WAV/JPEG/  
ASF discs/files  
• A disc may not be played back, or reading it may  
take a long time depending on its recording con-  
ditions or properties.  
• The time needed for reading varies with the  
number of groups or tracks (files) recorded on  
the disc.  
Notes on DVD-R/DVD-RW  
• This system does not support a disc recorded in  
multi-border format.  
• This system does not support a disc recorded in  
DVD VR format.  
• If a character other than single byte English  
characters is used in the file name of an MP3/  
WMA/JPEG/ASF file, the track/file name will not  
be displayed correctly.  
• The order of tracks/groups displayed on the  
MP3/WMA menu screen, and the order of files/  
groups displayed on the JPEG menu screen  
may be different from that of files/folders dis-  
played on a computer monitor screen.  
• In the case of MP3/WMA discs, since groups/  
tracks are played back in alphabetical order, a  
commercially available MP3/WMA disc may be  
played back in an order different from that indi-  
cated on the label attached to the disc.

using this system.  
• This system is compatible with USB 2.0 Full-  
Speed.  
• Tracks coded or encrypted using a special

A DVD VIDEO consists of “titles” and each title  
may be divided into “chapters”.  
• Do not use any non-standard shape disc (like a  
heart, flower or credit card, etc.) available on the

• Do not use a disc with tape, stickers, or paste on  
it, because it may damage the system.

This system can recognize up to 4 000 tracks/files  
on a disc. Also, the system can recognize up to  
150 tracks/files per group and up to 99 groups on a  
disc. Since the system ignores the tracks/files with  
numbers exceeding 150 and the groups with num-  
bers exceeding 99, these cannot be played back.  
If there are any type of files other than MP3/WMA/  
WAV/JPEG/ASF/DivX/MPEG1/MPEG2 files on a  
disc, those files are also counted in the total file  
number.
