• If your television equipped with component jacks does not support
the progressive scanning mode, set the selector to “525i.”
• If your television equipped with component jacks supports the
progressive scanning mode, set the selector to “525p.”
• If you want to select the scanning mode between the interlace and
progressive modes (depending on the source condition, or when
connecting more than one television, etc.), set the selector to
“REMOTE.”
PAL
Selecting PAL or NTSC
Set the PAL/NTSC selector on the rear panel to “PAL” or “NTSC” to
match the color system of your TV. Make sure that the color system
of a DVD VIDEO/SVCD/video CD disc labeled on the package
matches your TV.
If you use a multi-color system TV, you can play discs recorded on
both PAL and NTSC systems by setting the PAL/NTSC selector
appropriately.
• Change the PAL/NTSC selector position in stop mode or with no
disc inserted. The changed setting is not effective if you change
the selector position in playback mode.

Getting started
Activating the Progressive scanning mode using the remote
control unit
When the player is turned on and the 525i/525p/REMOTE
selector is set to “REMOTE,” press and hold down PROGRESSIVE for
a few seconds.
NOTES
• The Progressive scanning mode works only when you connect the
player’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to your TV.
• The Progressive scanning mode works only when the signal format
is NTSC.
• There are some progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets that
are not fully compatible with the player, resulting in the unnatural
picture when playing back a DVD VIDEO disc in the Progressive
scanning mode. In such a case, use the Interlaced scanning mode.
To check the compatibility of your TV set, contact your local JVC
customer service center.
• All JVC progressive TV and High-Definition TV sets are fully
compatible with the player (Example: AV-61S902).
• The VIDEO jack, S-VIDEO jack and COMPONENT VIDEO OUT
jacks cannot be used at the same time. Connect cable(s) only to
the jack(s) you want to use.
The scanning mode switches between the Progressive scanning and
Interlaced scanning modes.
When the scanning mode is set to the Progressive mode, the
PROGRESSIVE indicator on the front panel turns on.
Depending on the [PICTURE SOURCE] setting on the
[PICTURE] preference display and whether the current DVD
VIDEO disc is film-source or video-source, the color of the indicator
differs, as shown in the table below.

About the scanning mode
Depending on the material source format, DVD VIDEO discs can be
classified into two types; film source and video source (note that some
DVD VIDEO discs contain both film source and video source). Film
sources are recorded as 24-frame-per-second information, while
(NTSC) video sources are recorded as 30-frame-per-second (60-field-
per-second interlaced) information.
When the player plays back a film source material, uninterlaced
progressive output signals are created using the original information.
When a video source material is played back, the player interleaves
lines between the interlaced lines on each to create the interpolated
picture and outputs as the progressive signal.

Speaker settings
To obtain the best possible surround effect from Surround/DSP modes (see pages 26 to 31), you need to set up the speaker and subwoofer
information after all the connections are completed.You can set the speaker information using one of the following three methods.
Smart Surround Setup: Set the speakers information automatically by one simple action—clapping hands. The delay time and output level for
the center and surround speakers are set automatically.
Quick Setup:
Set the speakers and subwoofer information quickly by entering the use of the subwoofer, the number of the speakers,
and your room size.
Manual Setup:
Set the speakers and subwoofer information manually.
• Before starting the speaker setting, connect and position the speakers and subwoofer (see page 7) and turn on the receiver.
3 Confirm “SETTING UP” stops flashing and clap
Setting the speakers information
your hands over your head once while “SETTING
UP” appears on the display.
automatically—Smart Surround Setup
The distance from your listening point to the speakers is one of the
important element to obtain the best possible sound effect for the
Surround/DSP modes.
You need to set the delay time of the center and surround speakers
relative to the front speakers so that sounds through all the speakers
can reach you at the same time (see also page 19).
By using Smart Surround Setup, the speaker delay time and output
level are automatically calculated by one simple action—clapping
hands.
• To set the speaker information effectively using Smart Surround
Setup, unplug the power cords of all the components connected to
this receiver such as a TV, DVD player, DBS tuner, and VCR which
may cause noise.
• To use Smart Surround Setup effectively, connect both the center
and surround speakers.
The receiver starts detecting the level of the sound coming
through all speakers (except the subwoofer).
After detecting the sound, one of the following indications appears
on the display.
SUCCESSFUL:
Sound of your clapping is successfully
detected. The receiver sets the delay time
and the output level of the center and
surround speakers automatically.
The receiver cannot detect sound from some
speakers.
SILENT:
SILENT-ALL:
FAILED:
The receiver cannot detect any sound from all
speakers.
The receiver cannot detect both right and left
channels for the front and/or surround
speakers correctly.
• You can also set the crossover frequency, the low frequency effect
attenuator and the dynamic range compression manually (see page
19).
• When the receiver cannot detect the sound correctly (“SILENT,”
“SILENT-ALL” or “FAILED” appears on the display), “SETTING
UP” appears on the display again then repeat step 3.
• When you change your speakers, do the following steps again.
From the remote control ONLY:
• The speaker delay time and output levels are set automatically

Setting the speaker delay time
Setting the crossover frequency—CROSS
Small speakers cannot reproduce the bass sounds efficiently. If you
use a small speaker in any position, this receiver automatically
reallocates the bass sound elements assigned to the small speaker to
the large speakers.
To use this function properly, set this crossover frequency level
according to the size of the small speaker connected.
• If you have selected “LRG (large)” for all speakers (see page 18),
this function will not take effect.
— CNTR DL (center speaker delay),
SURR DL (surround speakers delay)
You can set the speaker delay time easily by using Smart Surround
Setup (see page 16) or Quick Setup (see page 17).
The distance from your listening point to the speakers is one of the
important element to obtain the best possible surround sound for the
Surround modes.
You need to set the delay time of the center and surround speakers
relative to the front speakers so that sounds through all the speakers
can reach you at the same time.
• 1 msec increase (or decrease) in delay time corresponds to 30 cm
increase (or decrease) in distance.

Reproducing theater ambience
In a movie theater, many speakers are located on the walls to
reproduce impressive multi-surround sound, reaching you from all
directions.
Introducing the Surround/DSP modes
You can use the following Surround/DSP modes with this receiver.
I Surround modes
With these many speakers, sound localization and sound movement
can be expressed.
• Dolby Pro Logic II
• Dolby Digital
Surround/DSP modes built in this receiver can create almost the
same surround sound as you can feel in a real movie theater.
• DTS
I DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes
• DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes
• All Channel Stereo
I Surround modes
Dolby Pro Logic II*
Dolby Pro Logic II has a newly developed multi-channel playback
format to decode all 2 channel sources—stereo source and Dolby
Surround encoded source—into 5.1 channel.
Matrix-based encoding/decoding method for Dolby Pro Logic II makes
no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the surround treble and
enables stereo surround sound compared to conventional Dolby Pro
Logic.
Dolby Pro Logic II enables you to reproduce spacious sound from
original sound without adding any new sounds and tonal colorations.
Dolby Pro Logic II has two modes—Movie mode and Music mode:
Pro Logic II Movie—suitable for reproduction of Dolby Surround
DOLBY SURROUND
encoded sources bearing the mark
.You can enjoy a
sound field very close to the one created with discrete 5.1 channel
sounds.
Pro Logic II Music—suitable for reproduction of any 2-channel stereo
music sources. You can enjoy wide and deep sound by using this
mode. For this mode, Panorama control can be selected, which gives
“wraparound” sound effect with side-wall image.
• When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the

Dolby Digital*
Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed by
Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and
decoding (1 channel up to 5.1 channel).
M
I
N
M
A
X
Dolby Digital 5.1 channel encoding method records and digitally
compresses the left front channel, right front channel, center channel,
left surround channel, right surround channel, and LFE channel
signals (total 6 channels, but the LFE channel is counted as 0.1
channel. Therefore, it is called 5.1 channel).
Dolby Digital enables stereo surround sounds, and sets the cutoff
frequency of the surround treble at 20 kHz, compared to 7 kHz for
Dolby Pro Logic. As such, the sound movement and “being-there”
feeling are enhanced much more than Dolby Pro Logic.
• To enjoy software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the source
component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver.
(See pages 8 and 12.)
NOTE
Dolby Digital software can be roughly grouped into two categories
—multi-channel (up to 5.1 channel) and 2 channel software. To enjoy
surround sound while playing Dolby Digital 2 channel software, you
can use Dolby Pro Logic II.

Creating realistic sound fields
The following DAP modes are provided with this receiver:
DTS**
DTS is another digital signal compression method, developed by
Digital Theater Systems, Inc., and enables multi-channel encoding
and decoding.
DTS Digital Surround is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio
format available on CD, LD, and DVD software.
Compared to Dolby Digital, the DTS Digital Surround format has a
lower audio compression rate, which enables it to add breadth and
depth to the sounds reproduced. As such, DTS Digital Surround
features natural, solid and clear sound.
• To enjoy the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround, connect
the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this
receiver. (See pages 8 and 12.)
LIVE CLUB:
DANCE CLUB:
HALL:
Reproduces the spatial feeling of a live music club
with a low ceiling.
Reproduces the spatial feeling of a rocking dance
club.
Reproduces the spatial feeling of a hall for
classical recitals.
PAVILION:
Reproduces the spatial feeling of an exhibition
hall.
These DAP modes can be used to add acoustic surround effects
while reproducing 2 channel stereo software, either analog or Linear
PCM digital signal, and can give you a real “being there” feeling.
• When one of the DAP modes is selected, the DSP indicator lights
up on the display.
I DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes
DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes
DAP modes have been designed to create important acoustic
surround elements.
All Channel Stereo
This mode can reproduce a larger stereo sound field using all the
connected (and activated) speakers.
The sound heard in a live club, dance club, hall or pavilion consists of
direct sound and indirect sound—early reflections and reflections from
behind. Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any
reflection. On the other hand, indirect sounds are delayed by the
distances of the ceiling and walls (see the diagram below).
These indirect sounds are important elements of the acoustic
surround effects. The DAP mode can create these important
elements, and give you a real “being there” feeling.
All Channel Stereo can be used when the front and surround
speakers are connected to this receiver without respect to the
center speaker connection.
• If the center speaker is connected and activated, the same phase of
the front left and right signals are mixed and output through the
center speaker.
All Channel Stereo can be used while reproducing 2 channel stereo
software, either analog or Linear PCM digital signal.
• When All Channel Stereo is selected, the DSP indicator lights up on
the display.
Reflections from behind

DAP modes can be used when the front and surround speakers

Additional information
Appendix D: Glossary
525i/525p
JPEG
Indicates the number of scanning lines and scanning format of an
image signal. 525i indicates 525 scanning lines with interlace
format, and 525p indicates 525 scanning lines with progressive
format.
A popular file format for still image compression and storage.
JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group.
There are three sub-types of the JPEG format as follows.
• baseline JPEG: used for digital cameras, the web, etc.
• progressive JPEG: used for the web
Aspect ratio
• lossless JPEG: an old type, rarely used now
A ratio which defines the shape of the rectangular picture in a TV.
It is the width of the picture relative to the height. A conventional
TV picture is 4:3 in aspect ratio.
Linear PCM audio
PCM stands for “pulse code modulation.” Linear PCM is the
usual method for digitally encoding audio without compression,
and is used for the audio tracks on DVD VIDEO discs, Audio
CDs, etc.
Bitstream
The digital form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1-channel)
before it is decoded into its various channels.
MP3
Chapter/title
MP3 is an audio data compression format, which stands for
MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Using MP3, you can achieve a data
reduction of about 1:10.
Chapter is the smallest division and title is the largest division on
DVD VIDEO. A chapter is a division of a title and similar to a track
for Video CD or Audio CD.
MPEG
Component video
A family of Standards for compressing audio-visual information.
“MPEG” standards include MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4.
Video CD and MP3 are based on MPEG-1, while DVD is based
on MPEG-2. MPEG stands for Moving Picture coding Experts
Group.
Video signals with three channels of separate information that
makes up the picture. There are some types of component video,
such as R/G/B and Y/CB(PB)/CR(PR).
Composite video
A single video signal commonly used in most consumer video
products that contains all luminance, color, and synchronization
information.
MPEG Multichannel
This feature expands the 5.1 channel audio format recorded on
the disc to a 7.1 channel format. The further expansion of the 5.1
channel audio makes it easy for you to reproduce the movie
theater experience in your own home.
Dolby Digital (AC3)
A six-channel system consisting of left, center, right, left rear,
right rear and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect channel, for use with a
sub-woofer) channels. All processing is done in the digital
domain. Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channels of
information.
NTSC (National television system committee)
A black and white and color television system format used in the
U.S.A., Canada, Mexico and Japan.
PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)
A color television system format used extensively in Western
Europe.
Dolby Surround/Dolby Pro Logic
Dolby Surround records four channels of front and rear audio in
two channels in a way that allows a decoder to recover the
original four channels for playback. Because the audio is
recorded in two channels, it can be played back naturally by a
two-channel stereo system.
Dolby Pro Logic introduces directional circuits in decoder-side
processing (increasing the level of specific channels and
lowering the level of silent channels) for greater spatial
perspective, and adds a center speaker used primarily for dialog.
The result is enhanced channel separation.
PBC
PBC stands for “Playback control” and is a method of controlling
disc play for Video CDs (VCD). You are able to interact with the
disc through menus.
Progressive scanning
Progressive scanning displays all the horizontal lines of a picture
at one time, as a single frame. A progressive scanning DVD
player converts the interlaced (525i) video from DVD into
progressive (525p) format for connection to a progressive
display. It dramatically increases the vertical resolution.
Down-mix
Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a DVD
player. The down-mix signals are output from stereo output
connectors.
S-video
A video signal which improves picture quality over standard
composite connections. Used on Super VHS, DVD, high end TV
monitors, etc.
DTS
A Digital Surround audio encoding format configured with six
(5.1) channels, similar to Dolby Digital. It requires a decoder,
either in the player or in an external receiver. DTS stands for
Digital Theater Systems.
Track
The smallest division on SVCD, Video CD and Audio CD discs.
Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.
WMA
WMA is an abbreviation of “Windows Media Audio,” and is an
audio data compression format developed by Microsoft
Corporation. Sound quality of data compressed using WMA is the
same as that of MP3, though the WMA file size is smaller than
that of MP3.
Dynamic range
The difference between the loudest and softest sounds.
Interlaced scanning
In a conventional video system, a picture is shown on the display
monitor in between lines of two halves. The Interlaced scanning
system places lines of the second half of the picture in-between
lines of the first half of the picture.
