Basic operations of HDMI CEC
Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) is device controlling signals optionally employed for the High-Definition
Multimedia Interface (HDMI) standard. When devices equipped with CEC are connected, each device can
control the others.
This system is compatible with some basic functions of HDMI CEC.
External device compatible
with HDMI CEC
TV compatible with
HDMI CEC
HDMI cable (not supplied)
Main unit
• When you start playback on the main unit, the connected TV automatically turns on.
• When you select the main unit as the source of the TV, picture and sound from the main unit are automati-
cally produced.
• When you turn off the TV, the main unit automatically turns off. (This function works when “ON 1” is
selected for “CEC” in the preference screen. Refer to page 40.)
• When you select the menu screen language of the TV, and then the main unit is turned off and turned on
again, the same language is automatically selected on the main unit. (The selectable languages are limited
to those supported by this system.)
• As long as the connected TV is compatible, you can use the operations of the TV to start playback, adjust
the volume and operate other functions on the main unit.
NOTE
• This function is available only when the source is set to “DVD” or “USB”.
• This function is available when “ON 1” or “ON 2” is selected for “CEC” in the preference screen (refer to
page 40).
• For details about the CEC function, refer to the operations manuals of the connected CEC devices.
• If the power cable is not connected to an AC outlet, the CEC function does not work, even when the main
unit is connected to CEC devices.
• Not all HDMI devices are compatible with CEC. If the main unit is connected to non-CEC compatible
devices, these devices cannot be controlled using the CEC function.
• The CEC function may not work with some CEC devices. (When the main unit is connected to a non-JVC
product, the CEC function may not work.)
• The CEC function may not work depending on the settings or status of the main unit or the connected CEC
devices.
• When connecting the main unit to a TV with an HDMI cable for the first time after purchase, confirm that
“JVC” (the initial screen) appears.
• When you disconnect the HDMI cable and connect it again, confirm that “JVC” appears.
• If the CEC function does not work properly, select “OFF” for the “CEC” setting, and then select “ON 1” or
“ON 2” again. (Refer to page 40.)

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 num-
ber includes the system’s region code, which is
indicated on the rear panel of the main unit.
1 Discs should be finalized before being played
back.
*
2 This system may not recognize some USB
devices. This system cannot play back a file
whose data volume is more than 2 gigabytes
and a file whose data transfer rate is more than
2 Mbps.

4 A CD-R/CD-RW recorded in multi-session for-
mat (up to 20 sessions) is playable.
5 A DVD-R recorded in multi-border format is also
playable (including dual layer discs).
6 For files recorded on a DVD-R/DVD-RW, the
disc should be formatted with UDF Bridge.
If a DVD VIDEO with an improper region code
number is loaded, playback cannot start.
• On some DVD VIDEOs, DVD AUDIOs, 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 pro-
gramming and disc/file structure, not a mal-
function of this system.
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.
Some discs may not be played back because of
their disc characteristics, recording conditions, or
damage or stains on them.

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.
• If characters other than single-byte alphanu-
meric characters are used in the file name of an
MP3/WMA/WAV/JPEG/ASF file, the track/file
name is not displayed correctly.
• The order of tracks/groups displayed on the
MP3/WMA/WAV 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.
• Playing back an MP3/WMA file that contains a
still image may take a long time. The elapsed
time is not displayed until playback starts. This
elapsed time may not be displayed 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

• 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 generates noise and
may damage the speakers.
• Damaged discs and discs with an unusual shape
(other than a disc of 12 cm or 8 cm (434″ or
3316 ″) in diameter) cannot be played back.
• JVC does not guarantee the operation and

Handling discs
DVD VIDEO/DVD VR
A DVD VIDEO consists of “titles” and each title
may be divided into “chapters”.
A DVD VR consists of “original programs” or “play
lists” and each original program/play list may be
divided into “chapters”.
• Do not use a commercially-available non-stan-
dard shape disc (like a heart, flower or credit
card, etc.), because it may damage the system.
• Do not use a disc with tape, stickers, or paste on
it, because it may damage the system.
• Do not bend the disc.

DVD AUDIO
A DVD AUDIO consists of “groups” and each
group may be divided into “tracks”.
Some discs include a “bonus group” that requires
a password for playback. (Refer to page 34.)

VCD/SVCD/CD
A VCD/SVCD/CD consists of “tracks”.
In general, each track has its own track number.
(On some discs, each track may also be further
divided by indexes.)
Wipe the disc from the center outward with a soft
cloth.
• Scratches concentrated on a certain part cause
sound dropout.
• Be sure not to use thinners, benzenes, cleaners
for analog records, or other chemical agents.

MP3/WMA/WAV/JPEG/ASF/DivX/MPEG1/
MPEG2 files
Audio, still pictures and video are recorded as
tracks/files on a disc or a USB device. Tracks/files
are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also
include other folders, creating hierarchical folder
layers.
This system simplifies the hierarchical construction
of files and manages folders by “groups”.

Up to 999 tracks/files
This system can recognize up to 4 000 tracks/files
on a disc. Also, the system can recognize up to
999 tracks/files per group and up to 99 groups on a
disc. Since the system ignores the tracks/files with
numbers exceeding 999 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 num-
ber of files.
