3 Attach the board to the wall.
Anchor the board securely in at least four places to the supports inside the wall.
The diameter of the screws must be more than 4 mm, and their length must be 3 times the thickness of the board mounted
on the wall (also take the thickness of the wall into account ).
4 Mount three screws (not supplied) to the board which has been attached on the wall.
Use the screws as illustrated below.
You can use the supplied paper pattern to mark the positions where the screws are mounted.
5 Hook the center unit onto the mounted screws, and slide it to left, then down .
Make sure that the center unit is attached securely.
• Adjust the screws if the center unit is not attached securely.
NOTES:
• Do not place anything on top of the center unit. Doing so may cause the center unit to fall down, and cause injury to the persons arround.
• Do not climb onto the center unit or hang from it. Doing so may damage the center unit and/or cause injury to the person.
Take care specially when there are small children at the home.
• Avoid sandwiching the cords between the unit and wall. This may upset the balance of the center unit, and cause the center unit to fall down.
• Make sure that the connected cords will not interfere with daily activities and that the users will not be caught in the cords.
• Do not pull the connected cords with excessive force.
• Check regularly that none of the screws are loose.
• In the event that the center unit has fallen, turn the power off, disconnect the power plug from the AC outlet, and contact your dealer for an
inspection and repairs. Using it in this state may cause a fire or electrical shock.
• Do not place valuables (breakables) underneath the location where the center unit is attached. They will be damaged if the center unit should
fall.
• The manufacturer accepts absolutely no liability for any accidents or damage resulting from inadequate assembly or mounting, insufficient
strength of attachment, misuse or abuse, or natural disasters.

Getting Started
Using the remote control
The remote control makes it easy to use many of the functions of the system at a distance of up to 7 m (23 feet) away.
• You can also operate other components from the remote control supplied with this system.
– To operate your TV, see page 20.
– To operate your VCR, CATV convertor, or DBS tuner, see page 69.
Putting batteries in the remote control
Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.
1 On the back of the remote control, remove the battery cover.
2 Insert batteries.
• Make sure to match the polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
3 Replace the cover.
If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace the batteries. Use two R6P (SUM-3)/AA (15F) type dry-
cell batteries.
CAUTION:
Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking batteries:
•Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
•Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may differ in voltage.
•Always replace both batteries at the same time.
•Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.
Operating the system from the remote control
Aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the center unit.
• To control other components, aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on each component.
Refer also to their instruction manuals .
• To operate the remote control properly, do not hide the remote sensor by placing any obstruction.

Changing the scan mode
This system supports the progressive scan system (480p*) as wel as the conventional interlaced scan system (480i*).
If your TV equipped with component jacks supports the progressive video input, you can enjoy a high quality picture by
making the progressive scan 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 scan mode to
the progressive scan mode.
From the remote control ONLY:
Press and hold PROGRESSIVE (VFP) for 3 seconds.
Each time you perform this operation, the scan mode changes as follows.
INTERLACE O PROGRESSIVE
•INTERLACE:Select this If your TV equipped with component jacks supports the interlaced video input only.
•PROGRESSIVE:Select this If your TV equipped with component jacks supports the progressive video input.
The selected scan mode appears on the display window for a while.
NOTES:
•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 scan mode.
In such a case, change the scan 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.
* 480p and 480i indicate the number of scanning lines and scanning format of an image signal.
• 480p indicates 480 scanning lines with progressive format.
• 480i indicates 480 scanning lines with interlaced format.
About scan system
To display video on the TV screen, the conventional scanning method is called “Interlaced scan.”
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 scan 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.
