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.

HINT

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, Progressive (uninterlaced) 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.

TV S-VIDEO VIDEO LEFT AUDIO RIGHT Red Blue Green White Red The player Audio cable (not supplied) Red Blue Green Component video cable (not supplied) Set the selector to "COMPONENT/COMPOSITE." RGB / COMPOSITE S-VIDEO Y / C COMPONENT / COMPOSITE

Activating the Progressive scanning mode using the remote control unit

When the player is turned on, press and hold down VFP - PROGRESSIVE SCAN for a few seconds.

The scanning mode switches between the Progressive scanning and Interlaced scanning modes.

When the scanning mode is set to the Progressive mode, the [P] indicator lights up in the display window. [DD] indicator also lights up when Progressive scanned signals on a DVD VIDEO disc are directly output as they are from the player.

Depending on the [PICTURE SOURCE] setting on the [PICTURE] preference display (see page 31) and whether the current DVD VIDEO disc is film-source or video-source, the progressive indicator lights, as shown in the table.

Setting of [PICTURE SOURCE]	Source type of DVD VIDEO
	Film source	Video source
AUTO	DDP	P
FILM	DDP	DDP

* While stopped in the Progressive scanning mode, the [P] indicator is lit regardless of the [PICTURE SOURCE] selection.

NOTES

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

Resuming playback

The player can memorize the position on a disc where you interrupt playback, and resume playback from that position later. There are three resume modes; ON, OFF and DISC RESUME. The mode is initially set to ON when you purchased the player.

- You can select the mode using the preference display (see page 32).

When the resume mode is "ON"

When you press ■, the player stops playback and memorizes the interrupted position. The TV screen shows "RESUME STOP" and [----RESUME] appears in the display window.

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

When you turn off the player after setting the resume function, simply press ▶/SELECT. The player is turned on, and playback starts from the interrupted position.

Note that the memory is cleared if you open the disc tray.

When the resume mode is "DISC RESUME"

When you press ■, the player stops playback and memorizes the interrupted position. The TV screen shows "RESUME STOP" and [----RESUME] appears in the display window.

The memory of the interrupted position is not cleared if you open the disc tray or turn off the player.

Hint

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.

To clear the memory

Press ■ while the disc is stopped.

To resume playback

2 Press ■.

3 Press ▲ to eject the disc.

4 Press DVD/CARD and start the memory card playback.

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.
• When you resume playback, set the [RESUME] setting to [DISC RESUME] before removing a loaded 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.

Outline

The player can play back MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG-4 (Simple profile) files on a personally recorded media as follows:

CD-R/RW, memory card, commercially available CD

The player can also play back MPEG-4 (Advanced simple profile) and DivX files recorded on CD-R/RW, DVD-R/-RW. Some DVD-R and DVD-RW discs mastered as multi border (multi-session) may not be compatible with the player.

You can select and play back files using the Control display on the TV screen.

- The player may be unable to play back the media due to the characteristics or recording conditions.

Precautions

About files and folders (groups) on the disc or the memory card

• Files are sometimes grouped into folders by genre, album, etc. In this manual, “group” is also referred to as “folder.”
• A folder which has one or more files is regarded as a group.
• The player can detect and play back the groups which are located up to the fifth layer.
• The files in the Control display are arranged by the alphabetical order of extensions as follows: "asf", "avi", "divx", "jpeg", "mp3", and "wma".
• Time required for reading the media contents may vary for different media, depending on the numbers of folders (groups) and files recorded, etc.
• Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into “group 1.”
• The player recognizes up to 150 files per group, and up to 250 groups per disc/memory card. Files other than MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG-4/DivX files count in the 999 total.

Max. 250 groups per media

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/C_B(P_B)/C_R(P_R) .

Composite video

A single video signal commonly used in most consumer video products that contains all luminance, color, and synchronization information.

DivX

One of the encoding methods for making MPEG-4 files.

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.

Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.

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.

JPEG

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
• lossless JPEG: an old type, rarely used now

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.

MP3

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.

MPEG-4

MPEG-4 is an audio/video data compression format, which is highly efficient and more stable than MPEG-1 and MPEG-2.

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.

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)
