For most installations, your DCR600IIreceiver
should now be ready for use. If you would like
further information on making other, advanced
settings, please see the section titled
“Configuring the DCR600
IIReceiver”. 
Making the Video Connections
IMPORTANT NOTE:The DCR600IIand
DVD600
IIoffer both S-Video and composite video
inputs and outputs. However, you must choose
one type of connection or the other for all connec-
tions in your system. This will depend on the type
of connections on your television. If both types of
connections are available, we recommend that
you purchase S-Video cables and make those 
connections for superior picture quality. The 
composite video connections will also provide
excellent results. However, the DCR600
IIwill not
convert from one type of signal to the other.
1. Connect one end of the single-lead RCA cable
with yellow connectors to the 
Composite
Video Output
on the DVD600IIand the other
end to the 
DVD Composite Video Input⁄on
the receiver.
OR
Connect one end of an S-Video cable (not sup-
plied) to the 
S-Video Outputon the
DVD600
IIand the other end to the DVD S-Video
Input
⁄on the receiver.
2.Connect one of the yellow ends of the triple-
lead RCA cable with red, white and yellow con-
nectors to the 
Video Monitor Composite
Video Output
°on the receiver, and the other
end to the composite video input jack on your tel-
evision.This jack is often color-coded yellow;
however, if you have any questions about which
jack to use, consult your television’s owner’s
manual or your dealer for assistance.
OR
Connect one end of a second S-Video cable 
(not supplied) to the 
Video Monitor S-Video 
Output
°on the receiver, and the other end 
to the S-Video input jack on your television.
3. If your television is equipped with component
video (Y/Pr/Pb) inputs, in addition to the above
connections, you may use a triple-lead compo-
nent video cable (not supplied) to connect the
Component Video Outputson the
DVD600
IIto the inputs on your television.
4.Connect one end of the black 1/8 mini phone
cord to the 
Remote IR Output‚on theDCR600
II, and the other end to the Remote
Control Input
on the DVD600II.
If you will not be connecting additional equip-
ment to your system just yet, you may plug in
the receiver and DVD changer. The receiver and
DVD changer each have a 
Main Power
Switch
1which must be pressed in first, and
a 
System Power Control2,which should be
pressed second. The last source selection will
appear in the receiver’s information display.  
The DCR600
IIis set at the factory to a default
configuration for use with small satellite speak-
ers and a subwoofer such as the JBL SCS135P
system. If other speakers are used, then the
speaker configurations may need to be changed
(see page 38).  
Although the DCR600IIis set to the correct speaker
configuration settings for the speakers supplied
with this system at the factory, you will need to
adjust the output levels of the speakers to cus-
tomize the system to your speaker placement
and room acoustics.

IMPORTANT NOTE:Due to the nature of this
product category, DVD players, while being
operated at elevated temperatures, may exhibit
certain anomalies such as picture freeze-ups.
If this occurs, the DVD600
IIneeds to be “reset”
by powering it down and up again, using its
master On/Off switch.
Should this occur with your DVD600
II, first
check your discs for any damage, scratches and
fingerprints. If discs are OK, then ventilation
around the DVD600
IIneeds to be increased to
ensure proper operation.
This completes the quick setup and operation 
of your JBL Cinema ProPack 600
IIsystem.
Additional information is provided in the follow-
ing sections for those users with additional

IMPORTANT NOTES
A. The AC plug connections should always be
the last connections made when installing an
A/V system. When making subsequent connec-
tions to audio source equipment or speakers, 
it is always a good practice to unplug the unit
from the AC wall outlet. This prevents the pos-
sibility of sending audio or transient signals to
the speakers that may damage them.
B. Connect devices as per the Quick Setup
Guide or per pages 6 through 8 of this manual.
C. The DCR600IIoffers both composite and 
S-Video inputs and outputs. However, 
either
S-Video orcomposite input/output connections
should be used throughout the system in order
for it to function properly. Do not use S-Video and
composite video connections interchangeably. 
D. The digital outputs are active only when a
digital signal is present, and they do not con-
vert an analog input to a digital signal, or
change the format of the digital signal. In 
addition, any digital recorder used must be
compatible with the output signal. For exam-
ple, the PCM digital input from a CD player
may be recorded on a CD-R or MiniDisc, but
Dolby Digital or DTS signals may not.
¡Coaxial Digital Audio Output:Connect
to the coaxial digital input connector on a 
CD-R or MiniDisc recorder. 
™Coaxial Digital Inputs:Connect to coax
digital output of a digital source. The signal
may be either a Dolby Digital signal, DTS sig-
nal or a standard PCM digital source. Do not
connect the RF digital output of an LD player to
these jacks. To benefit from the factory default
setting of the DCR600
II, it is recommended
that you plug the 
Coaxial Digital Output
of the DVD600IIinto the jack marked “1 (DVD)”
on the DCR600
II.
£Optical Digital Input:Connect to optical
digital output of a digital source. The signal
may be either a Dolby Digital signal, a DTS 
signal or a standard PCM digital source.
¢LFE/Subwoofer Output:Connect to the
LFE or line-level input of an optional powered
subwoofer. 
Do notuse this connector with the
SCS135P subwoofer included.
∞6-Channel Direct Inputs:When an
optional, external processor or playback device
with 5.1-channel audio capability, such as a
DVD-Audio player, is in use, connect the player’s
output jacks to these inputs.
§Tape Inputs:Connect to PLAY/OUTjacks
of an audio recorder.
¶Tape Outputs:Connect to RECORD/INPUT
jacks of an audio recorder.
•CD Inputs:Connect to output of a CD player.
NOTE:When the CD player has both fixed and
variable audio outputs, it is best to use the
fixed output unless you find that the input to
the receiver is so low that the sound is noisy,
or so high that the signal is distorted.
ªRemote IR Input:If the DCR600II’s front
panel IR sensor is blocked due to cabinet doors
or other obstructions, an external IR sensor
may be used. Connect the output of the sensor
to this jack.
‚Remote IR Output:Permits the IR sensor
in the receiver to serve other remote-controlled
devices. Connect this jack to the “IR IN” jack
on the DVD600
IIor other compatible equip-
ment.
⁄DVD Video Inputs:Connect to composite
or S-Video output jacks on a DVD.
