Depending on the radio reception conditions, an  
FM feeder antenna (not supplied: compatible with  
300 C) can be used. In this case, a converter (not  
supplied) is required.  
• When using an antenna other than those supplied for this system, refer to the operation manuals for the  
antenna and converter for details of connection.  
• When positioning the antennas, find the best position for reception while listening to an actual radio  
program (refer to “Listening to FM radio” on page 16).

CAUTION  
IMPORTANT  
• The supplied speakers are manufactured  
exclusively for use with the NX-F30 system. Do  
not connect the supplied speakers to devices  
other than the supplied main unit. Doing so may  
damage the speakers.  
• Do not connect external speakers together with  
the supplied speakers. The change in  
impedance may damage the main unit and the  
speakers.  
• Improper speaker cable connection reduces the  
stereo effect and sound quality.  
• The supplied left/right speakers are magnetically  
shielded, but color irregularity may occur on the  
TV. To prevent color irregularity, set up the  
speakers following the instructions below.  
(The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded.)  
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.  
3. Wait for approximately 30 minutes before  
turning on the main power of the TV again.  
CAUTION  
• The left and right speakers can be installed on a wall.  
• When installing the speakers on a wall, be sure to have the speakers installed by qualified personnel.  
• DO NOT install the speakers on the wall by yourself to avoid unexpected damage from them falling off the  
wall due to incorrect installation or weakness in wall structure.  
• Care must be taken in selecting a location for speaker installation on a wall. Injury to personnel or damage  
to devices may result if the installed speakers interfere with daily activities.

recorder. Otherwise picture distortion may occur  
during playback. (Routing the connection  
through a VCR or an HDD/DVD recorder,  
however, does not affect the audio quality.)

• A TV compatible with HDCP (High-Bandwidth  
Digital Content Protection) can also be  
connected to the [HDMI MONITOR OUT]  
terminal, so that the uncompressed HD video  
signal type can be output as well.  
NOTE  
You can output the audio signal from the  
[DIGITAL OUT] terminal when “DVD”, “USB” or  
“DGTL IN” is selected as the source in the  
display window.  
• When “DGTL IN” is selected as the source in the  
display window, digital audio from the  
[DIGITAL OUT] terminal is decoded to a linear  
PCM signal.  
• This system is compatible with some basic  
functions of HDMI CEC. (Refer to page 57.)

Basic operations of HDMI CEC  
Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) is the 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.  
TV compatible with  
HDMI CEC  
External device 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  
automatically 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 39.)  
• 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 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 39.)  
• 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 39.)

files/groups displayed on the JPEG menu screen  
may be different from that of files/folders  
displayed 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  
frequency of 44.1 kHz and transmission rate of  
128 kbps is recommended.  
• 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

Data hierarchy  
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-  
standard 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.

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.)

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.  
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.  
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  
numbers 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  
number of files.
