MOISTURE CONDENSATION  
The STANDBY/ON A button does not completely shut off  
mains power from the unit, but switches operating current on and  
off. ABB shows electrical power standby and ACB shows ON.  
Moisture in the air will condense on the unit when you move it from  
a cold place to a warm place, or under extremely humid  
conditions^just as water droplets form on the surface of a glass  
filled with cold liquid. In conditions where condensation may occur,  
disconnect the unit’s power plug from the wall and keep it  
disconnected for a few hours to let the moisture dry, then turn on  
the unit.  
When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or a shelf, make sure  
that it has sufficient space on all sides to allow for ventilation  
(10 cm or more on both sides, on top and at the rear).  
When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be  
considered and the local rules or laws governing the disposal of  
these batteries must be followed strictly.

In the unlikely event of the plug fuse failing be sure to  
replace the fuse only with an identical approved type, as  
originally fitted, and to replace the fuse cover. If the fuse  
fails again consult your nearest JVC dealer.  
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off remove the fuse and  
dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a possible shock  
hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.  
If this product is not supplied fitted with a mains plug then follow  
the instructions given below:  
DO NOT make any connection to the Larger Terminal coded E  
or Green.  
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the  
following code:

DISC INFORMATION  
Care And Handling Of Discs  
How to handle discs  
When handling a disc, do not  
touch the surface of the disc.  
Since discs are made of  
plastic, they are easily  
damaged. If a disc gets dirty,  
dusty, scratched or warped, the  
images and sound will not be  
picked up correctly, and such a  
disc may cause the unit to malfunction.  
Label side:  
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesives  
on its surface.  
Recording side:  
Make sure that discs are not scratched and dirty on the recording  
side before use. Scratches and dirt on the recording side of a disc  
may hinder proper playback and recording. Also be careful that a  
DVD-RAM disc may get scratched or dirty when removed from  
cartridge then put back in after use.  
Storage  
Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on  
top of one another without their protective cases, they can be  
damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be  
exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or  
temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!  
Maintenance of discs:  
If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering  
to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving  
from the center outwards.  
If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth  
moistened with water. Never use record  
cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-static  
agents.  
CAUTION:  
Sometimes during playback, noise may appear or images may  
be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up  
to industry standards.)  
These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction  
of the unit.

Precautions for daily use  
When you connect speakers other than the supplied ones, use  
speakers of the same speaker impedance (SPEAKER  
IMPEDANCE) indicated near the speaker terminals on the rear of  
the powered subwoofer.  
When moving the speakers, do not pull the speaker cords;  
otherwise, the speakers may fall over, causing damage or injury.  
Do not reproduce sounds at so high a volume that they are  
distorted; otherwise, the speakers may be damaged by internal  
heat build-up.  
DO NOT connect more than one speaker to one speaker  
terminal.  
When holding a speaker, always grasp the lower portion. (TH-R3)  
Do not lean against the speakers, as the speakers could fall  
down or break, possibly causing an injury. Especially make sure  
that children do not lean against them. (TH-R3).

The front and center speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid  
colour distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly, they  
may cause colour distortions. So, pay attention to the following  
when installing the speakers.  
^ When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off the TV’s  
main power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers.  
Then wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s main

distortion on the screen. To avoid this, do not place the speaker  
near the TV or monitor.  
NOTE:  
When connecting a video component such as a satellite receiver,  
operate this system to listen to the sound.  
Be sure to place the powered subwoofer to the TV’s right. If you  
place the powered subwoofer to the TV’s left, keep sufficient  
distance between them to prevent the TV screen from appearing  
mottled.  
Connecting The Power Cord

completed.  
When installing the satellite speakers on the wall;  
^ Be sure to have them installed on the wall by a qualified  
personnel.  
DO NOT install the satellite speakers on the wall by yourself to  
avoid unexpected damage from their falling off the wall due to

NOTES:  
You can programme this unit to timer record, regardless of the  
disc remaining time. When the disc remaining time is not enough,  
it is not possible to record until the end of the timer programme.  
Check the disc remaining time before performing timer  
programming.  
(Example) If you programmed to timer-record for 60 minutes in  
SP mode on a 120 minutes disc, the disc remaining time would  
be 30 minutes in XP mode, 60 minutes in SP mode, 120 minutes  
in LP mode, 180 minutes in EP mode, and 240 minutes in FR480  
mode. Timer recording will not complete beyond these remaining  
times.  
The maximum recording time of FR (JUST) mode is the same as  
the recording time of FR480 mode. When timer programming a  
long programme in FR (JUST) mode on a disc whose remaining  
time is short, it is recommended to check the disc remaining time  
in FR480 mode to see if the remaining time is enough for the  
programme.  
Even if more than one programme are timer programmed in FR  
(JUST) mode, only the first one is recorded.  
In order to ensure that the recording fits on the disc, this feature  
may leave a slight non-recorded section at the end of the disc.  
There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point on  
the disc where the unit switches the mode.

BASIC OPERATIONS ON DVD DECK  
DTS Digital Surround  
DTS Digital Surround is used for CDs, LDs, DVDs etc. (This kind  
of software bears the K mark.)  
It is another discrete 5.1-channel digital audio format with lower  
audio compression rate which enables it to add breadth and  
depth to the sounds reproduced.  
This system with its built-in DTS surround decoder enables  
playing back of DTS digital surround video software.  
Surround Mode  
Reproducing Theatrical Atmosphere  
In movie theatres, a number of speakers are located on the wall to  
reproduce realistic sensation by means of calculated sound  
effects, enabling sounds to be heard from all directions.  
By locating a number of speakers encircling the audience seats,  
localisation of sound and dynamism are remarkably improved.  
This system, which makes use of 5 speakers and subwoofer can  
reproduce the realistic sensation experienced in the movie  
theatres at home.  
A  
B lights when DTS signal is detected.  
Digital Theater Systems, Inc. greatly improves the 360 degree  
surround and spatial effects through DTS-ES with an additional  
surround back channel.  
DTS-ES includes two signal formats with different surround  
signal recording methods^DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch and DTS-ES  
Matrix 6.1ch.  
Surround Mode  
You can use Virtual Surround Back when playing back DTS-ES  
software.  
This function creates great surround effects from behind as if  
Surround Back speakers are connected.  
Dolby Surround  
Dolby Digital*  
A multi-channel audio compression format used for DVDs. (This  
kind of software bears the G mark.)  
For Dolby Digital 5.1CH, the front left channel, front right channel,  
center channel, rear left channel, rear right channel and  
subwoofer channel, a total of 5.1 channels (subwoofer is counted  
as 0.1 channel) each produces sound independently, thus  
minimising interference between the channels and enabling  
reproduction of stereo surround with better sound quality.  
DTS96/24  
In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in higher  
sampling rates for both recording and playback at home. Higher  
sampling rates allow wider frequency range and greater bit  
depths providing extended dynamic range.  
DTS96/24 is a multi-channel digital signal format (fs 96 kHz/24  
bits) adopted by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. to deliver Abetter-  
than-CD sound qualityB into the home.  
This system with its built-in Dolby Digital decoder allows you to  
enjoy the Dolby Digital realistic sensation comparable to the  
movie theatres and stage theatres.

signal is detected.  
Dolby Digital EX, which adds a surround back channel to the  
conventional Dolby Digital 5.1CH, further enhances the realistic  
sensation.  
Linear PCM  
Uncompressed digital audio data used for DVDs, CDs, and  
Video CDs.  
DVDs support 2 channels with sampling rates of 48/96 kHz, at  
quantization of 16/20/24 bits.  
On the other hand, CDs and Video CDs are limited to 2 channels  
with 44.1 kHz at 16 bits.  
Dolby Pro Logic II (Pro Logic 2)  
This system is built-in with a Dolby Pro Logic decoder. It extracts  
and playback 5.1-channel sound from 2-channel sound recorded  
in Dolby Surround format using matrix circuitry. This will enable  
stereo and encircling surround effect.  
A similar surround effect can also be obtained through normal 2-  
channel stereo sound.  
3D Headphone Mode  
You can also enjoy surround sound through the headphones.  
If Surround is activated, 3D headphone mode will be activated  
regardless of the software type being played under the condition  
that the front speakers are not activated.

DAP Mode  
The sound heard in a concert hall, club, etc. consists of sound  
directly from the source (direct sound), sound that are reflected  
from the ceiling and walls (early reflected sound) and sound that  
are reflected many times (reverberant sound). The sound field in a  
concert hall etc. is created with these reflected sound/reverberant  
sound (the delay varies depending on the distance between the  
listener and the ceiling and walls) and the direct sound.

selected, the system automatically switches to the station. The  
indicator of received programme type code starts blinking.  
E
When the programme is over, the system goes back to the  
previously tuned station, but the Enhanced Other Network function  
still remains activated.  
Case 2  
If the FM station you are listening to is broadcasting the  
programme you have selected  
The system continues to receive the station but the indicator of  
received programme type code starts blinking.  
E
When the programme is over, the indicator of received programme  
type code stops blinking and remains lit, but the Enhanced Other  
Network function still remains activated.  
To stop listening to the programme selected by Enhanced  
Other Network  
Press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly again so that the programme  
type indicator (TA/NEWS/INFO) goes off from the front display  
panel. The system exits from Enhanced Other Network standby  
mode and goes back to the previously selected station.

When the system is in standby mode.  
The TEST signal is used to test whether the equipment can  
receive the ALARM signal correctly  
The TEST signal makes the system work in the same way as the

NOTES:  
In Enhanced Other Network standby mode, if you change the  
source to play, Enhanced Other Network standby mode is  
cancelled temporarily.  
If you change the source to FM again, the system returns to  
Enhanced Other Network standby mode.  
Enhanced Other Network data sent from some stations may not  
be compatible with this system.  
Enhanced Other Network does not function for some FM stations  
with radio data system service.  
While listening to a programme tuned in by the Enhanced Other  
Network function, the station does not change even if another  
network station starts broadcasting a programme of the same  
Enhanced Other Network data.

VPS/PDC Recording  
Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme Delivery  
Control) and VPS (Video Programme System) are services  
designed to assure safe, accurate timer recording. With this  
system, special code signals are transmitted together with the  
audio/video signals. These code signals control your unit and have  
precedence over the advertised times you may have preset into  
the timer. This means that your unit will start and stop recording  
when the preset TV programmes actually start and end^even if  
the broadcast time of a preset TV programme is changed from  
what has been advertised. PDC is currently available nationally on  
BBC1, BBC2, Ch.4 and Ch.5, except from a few small relay  
transmitters. Ch.3 operates a PDC service in some areas. All  
channels intend to offer this service in due course. Check your TV  
programme listing guide for latest information. If the channel you  
intend to record does not offer a PDC service your unit will not start  
recording if PDC has been selected. Be sure to set PDC to AOFFB if  
PDC is not available on your selected channel. (See step 6 on  
page 48.).
