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.)

• 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 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.

Examples:

3 DVD VR means a DVD-R/DVD-RW recorded in

Video Recording (VR) format.

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.

Only sounds can be played back from the following

discs:

MIX-MODE CD

CD-EXTRA

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

• 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 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

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.

Playable MP3/WMA/WAV/JPEG/

are also acceptable) are playable.

• This system is not compatible with an MP3i or

MP3PRO file.

• 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 such as the automatic rotation function

of a digital camera is applied, the data may no

longer conform to the DCF standard, and the

image may not be displayed).

• If data has been processed, edited or restored

with computer image editing software, the data

may not be displayed.

• This system cannot play back animations such

as MOTION JPEG files, still pictures (TIFF etc.)

other than JPEG files, 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, it may take a long time to display the file.

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.

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.

Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Track 5

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 99 groups

Group 1

Group 2

Track 1 Track 2 Group3 Group4 Group 5

/File 1 /File 2

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.
