center and surround channel signals are down-mixed
and then output from the headphones.
You can enjoy down-mixed multi-channel sound source
using the headphones.
 CAUTION:

Storing basic adjustments—
auto memory
This system stores sound settings for each source:
•When you turn off the power, and
•When you change the source
The following can be stored:
•The adjustment for the front speakers—balance, bass, and
treble (see pages 26 and 54)
•Low frequency effect attenuator (see pages 26 and 54)
•Subwoofer audio position (see page 26)
•Speaker and subwoofer output level (see pages 17, 32
and 55)*
•Bass boost setting (see page 26)*
•Surround and DSP modes selection (see page 31)*
•DSP effect level (see page 32)*
NOTE:
For the items marked 
“*,” you can assign a different setting for each
source including FM and AM.
Changing the scanning mode
This system supports the progressive scanning system
(525p*) as wel as the conventional interlaced scanning
system (525i*).
If your TV equipped with component jacks supports the
progressive video input, you can enjoy a high quality picture
by making the progressive scanning mode active.
•Refer also to the instruction manuals supplied with your TV.
•If your TV equipped with component jacks does not
support the progressive video input, do not change the
scanning mode to the progressive scanning mode.
From the remote control ONLY:
Press and hold PROGRESSIVE for 5 seconds.
Each time you press and hold the button, the scanning mode
alternates between “PROGRESSIVE” and “INTERLACE.”INTERLACE:Select only when your TV equipped with
component jacks supports the interlaced
video input.
PROGRESSIVE:Select when your TV equipped with
component jacks supports the
progressive video input.
The PROGRESSIVE lamp on the center
unit lights up when you select
“PROGRESSIVE” as the scanning mode.
NOTES:
•When “PA L” is selected on the VIDEO OUT SELECT switch (see
page 7), the scanning mode is fixed to “INTERLACE.” So the
scanning mode cannot be changed.
•There are some progressive TVs and High-Definition TVs that are
not fully compatible with this system, resulting in the unnatural
picture when playing back a DVD in the progressive scanning
mode. In such a case, change the scanning mode to “INTERLACE.”
To check the compatibility of your TV, contact your local JVC
customer service center.
•All JVC progressive TVs and High-Definition TVs are fully
compatible with this system.
* 525p and 525i indicate the number of scanning lines and
scanning format of an image signal.
•525p indicates 525 scanning lines with progressive
format.
•525i indicates 525 scanning lines with interlaced format.
About scanning system
To display video on the TV screen, the conventional
scanning method is called “Interlaced scanning.”
With this method, only half of the horizontal lines are
displayed at a time. So two fields complete a single
picture (frame);
i.e., the first field, containing all the odd-numbered lines, is
displayed followed by the second field, containing all the
even-numbered lines.
On the other hand, the Progressive scanning system
scans all horizontal lines at a time, so you can double the
number of scanning lines displayed at a time, resulting in
a flicker-free, high-density picture.
To enjoy the progressive scanned video, a monitor (or TV
or projector) to be connected to the unit must have the
Progressive inputs.
Depending on the material source format, DVD VIDEO can
be classified into two types; film source and video source
(note that some DVD VIDEO 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 this system 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 unit interleaves lines between the
interlaced lines on each to create the pseudo uninterlaced
picture and outputs as the progressive signal.

NOTES:
•If you have selected “NO” for the surround back speaker (see page
24), you cannot select this setting. 6.1-channel and 5.1-channel
software is played back in the same way as  “OFF” is selected for
above setting.
•When the sound is not output from the surround back speaker even
though playing back Dolby Digital EX software (bearing the mark
) setting “EX/ES” to “AU TO,” select “ON” instead of “AUTO.”
Setting the speaker distance
—FRNT D (front speaker distance),
CNTR D (center speaker distance),
SURR D (surround speaker distance),
BACK D (surround back speaker distance)
The distance from your listening point to the speakers is
another important element to obtain the best possible sound
from the Surround and DSP modes. You need to set the
distance from your listening point to the speakers.
By referring to the speaker distance setting, this system
automatically sets the delay time of the sound through each
speaker so that sounds through all the speakers can reach
you at the same time.
Set the distance from the listening point to each speaker
with the range of 0.3 m to 9.0 m (in 0.3 m intervals).
NOTE:
If you have selected “NO”  for “BACK SP” (see page 24), you cannot
set the speaker distance for the surround back speaker.
Setting the crossover
frequency
—CROSS
Small speakers cannot reproduce the bass sounds efficiently.
If you use a small speaker in any position, this system
automatically reallocates the bass sound elements assigned
to the small speaker to the large speakers.
To use this function properly, set the crossover frequency
level according to the size of the small speaker connected.
• If you have selected “LARGE” for all speakers, this function
does not take effect and you cannot change the frequency.

speaker is about 12 cm.
100Hz:Select when the cone speaker unit built in the
speaker is about 10 cm.
120Hz:Select when the cone speaker unit built in the
speaker is about 8 cm.
150Hz:Select when the cone speaker unit built in the
speaker is about 6 cm.
200Hz:Select when the cone speaker unit built in the
speaker is less than 5 cm.
 CAUTION:
When using the supplied speakers, select “200Hz.”
NOTE:
Crossover frequency is not valid for the HEADPHONE mode.
Setting the phase of subwoofer
—PHASE
Subwoofer phase is closely related with the distance from the
listening position to the front speakers and subwoofer. You
can change the  phase to obtain better bass sound.
Select  one of the following settings:
NORMAL:Normally select this.
REVERS:Select when you feel the bass sound is better
with this mode rather than with “NORMAL.”
Setting the video output for DVD
playback
—M.OUT (monitor out)
