Before making connections

• Do not connect the AC power cord until all other connections have been made.

• Connect VIDEO OUT of the player directly to the video input of your TV. Connecting VIDEO OUT of the player to a TV via a VCR may cause a monitor problem when playing back a copy-protected disc. You may also have a monitor problem when connecting the player to an integrated TV/Video system.

• In the following description, "TV" may be substituted with "monitor" or "projector."

• Terminal names used for other components may be different from those used in the following description.

Connections

Before using the player, connect the player to a TV and/or amplifier.

Connecting to a TV

Connecting to a TV with the SCART connector

You can enjoy using the player by simply connecting it to your television set with a 21-pin SCART cable.

Setting the selector (for XV-N210B/XV-N212S)

When you connect the player to a TV with the SCART connector, set the COMPOSITE - Y/C - RGB/COMPOSITE selector correctly according to your TV.

• If your TV only accommodates the composite video signal: Set the selector to "COMPOSITE."
• If your TV accommodates Y/C signals: Set the selector to "Y/C" so you can enjoy better-quality pictures.
• If your TV accomodates RGB signals: Set the selector to "RGB/COMPOSITE."
• If your TV accommodates both RGB and Y/C, set the selector to "RGB/COMPOSITE." Otherwise the picture cannot be displayed correctly.

Setting the selector (for XV-N310B/XV-N312S/XV-N315B/ XV-N316S)

When you connect the player to a TV with the SCART connector, set the COMPONENT/COMPOSITE - Y/C - RGB/COMPOSITE selector correctly according to your TV.

• If your TV only accommodates the composite video signal: Set the selector to "COMPONENT/COMPOSITE" or "RGB/COMPOSITE."
• If your TV accommodates Y/C signals: Set the selector to "Y/C" so you can enjoy better-quality pictures.
• If your TV accumulates RGB signals:
  Set the selector to "RGB/COMPOSITE."
• If your TV accommodates both RGB and Y/C, set the selector to "RGB/COMPOSITE." Otherwise the picture cannot be displayed correctly.

NOTE

Do not connect multiple devices using multiple connectors.

NOTES

• Do not connect multiple devices using multiple connectors.
• If your TV has a monaural audio input instead of stereo, you need to use an optional audio cable which converts stereo audio output to monaural.

Connecting to a TV with component jacks

For XV-N310B/XV-N312S/XV-N315B/ XV-N316S only

You can enjoy picture of high-quality color reproduction by connecting the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks on the player to your TV.

NOTES

• Connect "Y" to "Y," "P_B" to "P_B" (C_B), "P_R" to "P_R" (C_R) correctly.
• The video output jack, scart connector and component jacks cannot be used at the same time.
• If your TV has component video input jacks of BNC type, use an adapter which converts a pin jack to a BNC jack (not supplied).

Progressive scan video playback available

In the progressive scanning mode, you can enjoy high quality picture with less flickers when the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks are connected to a TV or monitor that supports the progressive video input.

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).

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.

Activating the Progressive scanning mode

Press and hold down VFP - I/P on the remote control unit for a few seconds.

When the scanning mode is set to the Progressive mode, the [P] indicator lights up in the display window.

Depending on the [PICTURE SOURCE] preference display and whether the current DVD VIDEO disc is film-source or video-source, the indicator that lights up in the display window differs, as shown in the table below.

Setting of [PICTURE SOURCE]	Source type of DVD VIDEO
	Film source	Video source
AUTO	[DDP]	[P]
FILM	[DDP]	[DDP]
VIDEO (NORMAL)/(ACTIVE)	[P]	[P]

NOTES

• The Progressive scanning mode works only when you connect the player's COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to your TV.
• 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).

Connecting to optional audio equipment

Connecting to a stereo audio amplifier/receiver

Connect the player's AUDIO OUT (LEFT/RIGHT) jacks to any line-level inputs (such as AUX, DVD, CD, etc.) of an audio amplifier or receiver.

Connecting to a digital audio device

You can enjoy sound of enhanced quality by connecting the player's DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL) jack to a digital input of an amplifier, etc., using a or coaxial digital cable. The digital audio signal on a disc will be transferred directly from the player. If the connected digital audio equipment is a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder or an amplifier with a built-in decoder, you can enjoy high-quality surround sound.

NOTES

• It is not recommended to use the digital jacks for dubbing. When recording the sounds (DVD VIDEO, SVCD, Video CD or Audio CD) played back on the player, record them through the analog jacks.
  Depending on the disc, no signal may be output from the DIGITAL OUT. Make an analog connection in this case.
• Set [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] in the [AUDIO] preference display correctly according to the connected digital audio equipment. If setting made for [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] is incorrect, loud noise may be generated causing damage to the speakers (see page 27).

Connecting the power cord

When all the audio/video connections have been made, connect the AC power plug to the wall outlet. Make sure that the plugs are inserted firmly.

The STANDBY/ON indicator lights in red.

Warning

About screen saver function

A television monitor may have an image burned into it if a static image is displayed for a long time. To prevent this, the player automatically activates the screen saver function if a static picture, such as an on-screen display or menu, is displayed while no button is pressed for over 5 minutes.

When the screen saver function is activated, the TV screen gets darker.

Pressing any buttons will release the screen saver function. You can set the screen saver function to ON or OFF (see page 26).

Restarting playback after stopping (resuming playback)

The player resumes playback from the position you interrupted playback, as long as the disc you interrupted playback is still on the disc tray.

This is because the player's resume mode is set to ON when you purchased the player.

When the resume mode is set to ON, the player memorizes the position on a disc where you interrupted playback.

• When you press to interrupt playback, the TV screen shows [RESUME STOP] and the [RESUME] indicator lights up in the display window.
• When you re-start playback, the TV screen shows [RESUME PLAY].

Hint

The memory of the interrupted position is not cleared even if you turn off the player.

To play back from the beginning

Press while the disc is stopped.

The memory is cleared.

Then press (SELECT).

NOTES

• The player remembers the interrupted position even if you turn the power off.
• The memory is cleared if you open the disc tray.

Changing the resume mode

The player has three resume modes; ON, OFF and DISCRESUME.
- You can select the mode using the preference display (see page 27).

When the resume mode is "OFF"

Playback always starts from the beginning.

When the resume mode is "DISC RESUME"

The player memorizes interrupted positions for the last 30 discs played. Storing a new interrupted position will erase the interrupted position stored for the first disc.

The memory of the interrupted positions are not cleared even if you open the disc tray or turn off the player.

NOTES

• If you change the [RESUME] setting from [DISC RESUME] to [OFF] or [ON], you cannot resume playback of a disc whose "resuming" position is stored. However, when you again set [RESUME] to [DISC RESUME], you will then be able to resume playback of the disc.
• If you interrupt the playback of a disc for which an interrupted position has already been stored, the memory will be updated with the new interrupted position.
• For a double-sided DVD VIDEO disc, the player regards each side as a different disc. Therefore, to resume playback of such a disc, the disc must be inserted with the same side down.
• When the player memorizes an interrupted point for a disc, it also memorizes Audio, Subtitle and Angle settings.
• The player may not resume playback exactly from the interrupted point. In the case of an SVCD/Video CD disc with PBC function, the player may resume playback from a point slightly earlier or later than the point where playback was interrupted.

Appendix D: Glossary

ASF

ASF is an abbreviation of "Advanced Streaming Format," and is a data compression format for streaming developed by Microsoft Corporation. ASF can contain the various data types such as audio, video, and text.

Aspect ratio

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.

Bitstream

The digital form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1-channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.

Chapter/title

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.

Component video

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.

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.

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.

Down-mix

Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a DVD player. The down-mix signals are output from stereo output connectors.

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.
