Frequently Asked Questions - DR-MV5 JVC

How do I connect the DR-MV5 to my TV?

Use the composite (yellow) or component (red/green/blue) video cables and corresponding audio cables. For best quality, use component video.

Why won't the DVD player read my disc?

Ensure the disc is clean and free of scratches. Check that the disc format is compatible (DVD, CD, MP3). If the problem persists, try cleaning the laser lens with a lens cleaner disc.

Can I play region 1 discs on this player?

The DR-MV5 is likely region 1 (North America). Check the label on the back for region code. Multi-region playback is not supported.

How do I reset the DR-MV5 to factory settings?

With the unit on, press the Setup button on the remote, go to 'System Setup' or 'Preferences', and select 'Factory Reset'. Confirm with 'OK'.

What audio formats are supported?

The player supports stereo PCM, Dolby Digital, and DTS (pass-through via optical/coaxial). MP3 files burned on CD-R are also playable.

Why is there no picture but sound works?

Check the video cable connection. Ensure the TV is set to the correct input. Try using a different video output (composite instead of component) to isolate the issue.

How do I clean the DVD player?

Unplug the unit. Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. For the disc tray and lens, use a dry cleaning disc or compressed air. Do not use liquids.

Can I play JPEG photo discs?

Yes, the DR-MV5 supports JPEG files on CD-R or DVD-R discs. Simply insert the disc and select 'Photo' mode from the menu.

The remote control is not working. What should I do?

Replace the batteries. Ensure there is a clear line of sight to the player. If still not working, try pairing the remote again or use the buttons on the front panel.

Where can I download the user manual?

The manual is available for free on notice-facile.com. Search for 'JVC DR-MV5' and download the PDF.

File Structure Of Discs

DVD VIDEO

Typically, DVD VIDEO discs are made up of larger units called "titles". Each title has a number (title number) that can be used to select desired titles. Titles are further divided into units called "chapters". Each chapter has a number (chapter number) that can also be used to select desired chapters. Note that some discs are not divided into titles and chapters.

When you record a programme on a DVD-RAM/RW (VR mode) disc

A single recording session results in a single title (a single chapter). However, chapter marks are automatically inserted when recording is paused, or audio changes from monaural or bilingual to stereo due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter marks at desired locations during playback. (27 pg. 49)

When you record a programme on a DVD-R/RW (Video mode) disc

A single recording session results in a single title (a single chapter). However, chapter marks are automatically inserted when recording is paused, or audio changes due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter marks at desired locations during either recording or playback. Once the disc has been finalised, these chapter marks are deleted and new chapter marks are assigned automatically approximately every 5 minutes.

• In Video mode, even before finalising, it is impossible to perform editing operations other than changing the disc name and/or title names and deleting programmes and/or titles. ●After finalising, it is impossible to perform editing operations.

8 EN DISC INFORMATION

Audio CD/Video CD/Super Video CD (SVCD)

Typically, Audio CD discs are divided into separate tracks each containing one song. Each track is assigned a number. For example, the third track is Track 3. The same is true for Video CD discs.

However, some discs are not divided into tracks.

JPEG/MP3 Disc (CD-R/RW/ROM)

MP3/JPEG files put in directories nested in several levels on a disc will be organised as if they were put in single level directories (groups) by the MP3/JPEG Navigation of this unit. (pg. 72)

File structure of a disc before starting the MP3/JPEG Navigation

File structure of the disc after starting the MP3/JPEG Navigation

Files are automatically grouped as follows and displayed on the MP3/JPEG Navigation screen. Data is displayed in the alphabetical order of file name. Files are grouped based on roots.

●This unit can recognise up to 9 hierarchies including directories and files. Also, it can recognise up to 250 files in each group, and up to 99 groups on a disc.

NOTES:

●Video CD discs that support Playback Control (PBC)

The contents of a disc are recorded into several hierarchies, and played back according to the instructions on the screen while navigating through the hierarchies. It is also possible to playback recorded tracks consecutively without activating the PBC function even when playing a PBC-compatible disc. (pg. 50)

●Regarding the contents recorded on discs

Some files may not be played back depending on the file types and other factors.

DVD VIDEO Marks

Sometimes marks are printed on a DVD disc and/or on its packaging to indicate information regarding the contents and functions of the disc. Check the marks indicating the contents and functions of the disc. Note, however, that in some cases a disc may not include a mark even for a function it supports.

Placing A Disc

Opening the disc tray

Press ▲ (OPEN/CLOSE) to open the disc tray.

• Pressing the button again closes the disc tray.
• Use the button to open and close the disc tray.
• Do not block the disc tray with your hand while it is opening or closing as this may result in hardware failure.
• Do not place unplayable discs or any object other than a disc on the disc tray.
• Do not press down strongly on the disc tray or place any heavy objects on it.

Discs without cartridges

Place the disc on the disc tray with the label side facing up. Since disc size changes depending on the disc to be played back, be sure to correctly align the disc with the grooves for its size. If the disc is not in its groove, it may be scratched or otherwise damaged. To insert an 8 cm disc, place it according to the inner groove.

DVD-RAM discs contained in cartridges

Double-sided discs:

Remove the disc from the cartridge. Align the disc with the grooves on the disc tray as shown in the illustration and insert with the side you wish to play back or record facing down. If you insert the disc with "Side A" facing down, programmes are recorded on side A.

Single-sided discs:

Remove the disc from the cartridge. Align the disc with the grooves on the disc tray as shown in the illustration and insert with the label side facing up.

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 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 centre 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.

Recording Mode

MPEG2 format is used as recording format. As a guide for picture quality, the "bps" unit is used to represent how much data can be recorded per second. The larger this value is, the better the picture quality becomes but more capacity is required for the recording. Select XP or SP for programmes where quick movement occurs, such as sports programmes, and LP or EP for talk shows, etc. with relatively less movement.

The recording modes for a 4.7 GB disc are set as follows:

Recording mode	Recording amount (approx.)	Maximum recording time (approx.)
XP 9.6 Mbps	1 hour
SP 5 Mbps 2	hours
LP 2.5 Mbps	4 hours

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 video 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.

NOTES:

- When you use Manual Timer Programming, set the start time (VPS or PDC time) exactly as advertised in the TV listing. A different time than advertised will result in no recording.

●VPS/PDC recording is also possible when a satellite receiver or a cable system is connected to [L-2 IN/DECODER] connector on your unit.

●VPS/PDC recording is also possible via the [L-1 IN/OUT] connector.

How to check if the station being received transmits a VPS/PDC signal

■To record the entire programme within the actual remaining disc space

Select "FR (JUST)" in a recording mode selection procedure.

- Note that this function is available only for timer programming recording (127pg. 29, 31).

■To record the entire programme by specifying the desired recording time

Select "FR60-FR360", "FR420" or "FR480" in a recording mode selection procedure. (1= pg, 26, 29, 31)

■To record a 25-min. long daily programme five times just on the same DVD disc for example

Perform "SHOWVIEW™ Timer Programming" (27 pg. 29) procedure. Be sure to set the recording mode to "FR125" and set Weekly/Daily Rec Function to "MON-FRI" in step 6 to fit the total recording time to the whole disc space.

When the same programme is recorded in SP mode instead of in "FR125", the 5th programme cannot be recorded.

NOTES:

• You can programme this unit to timer-record, regardless of the disc remaining time. When the disc remaining time is not enough, recording may stop in the middle of a programme. To avoid this, make sure of the disc remaining time before setting timer programming. (Example) If you programmed to timer-record for 60 minutes in SP mode on a 120-minute 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 is 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.

Receiving Stereo And Bilingual Programmes

B.E.S.T. Picture System

The B.E.S.T. (Biconditional Equalised Signal Tracking) system checks the condition of the tape in use during playback and recording, and compensates to provide the highest-possible playback and recording pictures. You can set "B.E.S.T." to "ON" or "OFF" to your preference. (17 pg. 81)

Playback

The unit assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate playback.

The unit adjusts the playback picture quality based on the quality of the tape in use. B.E.S.T. is active during automatic tracking. "BEST" appears blinking on the front display panel. - "BEST" only appears at the beginning of automatic tracking. Even though it doesn't appear after that, the B.E.S.T. function is operative.

Recording

The unit assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate recording. The unit spends approximately 7 seconds assessing the condition of the tape, then begins recording.

Connecting To A Satellite Receiver

Simple Connections

This is an example of a simple connection if your TV has one 21-pin AV input (SCART) connector.

Connect the satellite receiver to the [L-2 IN/DECODER] connector, then connect the [L-1 IN/OUT] connector to the TV's connector.

NOTES:

• Set "L-2 SELECT" to "VIDEO/RGB" or "S-VIDEO/RGB". (☐ pg. 45)
• You can use the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording function (17 pg. 36) with this connection. (DVD deck only)
• To record a programme via the satellite receiver, select L-2 mode by pressing PR +/- so that "L-2" appears on the front display panel.
• For details, refer to the instruction manual of the satellite receiver.

IMPORTANT

When you set "L-2 SELECT" to "SAT VIDEO/RGB" (e.g. pg. 45), it is possible to view a satellite broadcast with the TV set to its AV mode even if the unit is turned off. When the unit is in Stop mode or recording, press TV/VIDEO on the remote control to turn off the video indicator (on the unit).

- If you turn on the unit when the satellite receiver's power is off, nothing appears on the TV screen. In this case, turn on the satellite receiver, or set the TV to its TV mode, or press TV/VIDEO on the remote control to set the unit to the AV mode.

Perfect Connections (Recommended)

This is an example of recommended connections if your TV has two 21-pin AV input (SCART) connectors. Connect the decoder to the satellite receiver's connector if you have a decoder, [L-1 IN/OUT] connector to TV's connector, and [L-2 IN/DECODER] connector to the satellite receiver's connector. Then connect the satellite receiver and TV.

NOTES:

• Set "L-2 SELECT" to "VIDEO/RGB" or "S-VIDEO/RGB". (☐ pg. 45)
• You can use the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording function (pg. 36) with this connection. (DVD deck only)
• To record a programme via the satellite receiver, select L-2 mode by pressing PR +/- so that "L-2" appears on the front display panel. ●To receive a scrambled broadcast, descramble the signal with the decoder connected to the satellite receiver.
