Connecting the TV and optional components

TV Connection (method 1)

-using SCART cable (cable included) To view the video from DVD discs on your TV set, connect the SCART TV Out jack of this system to the SCART In jack of your TV set. If this connec- tion is made, the audio signal will also be routed to the TV, but as long as the speakers of your JBL DSC system are active, the volume on your TV should be turned down.

TV Connection (method 2) - using S-Video cable

If your TV set has an S-Video Input Jack you can connect your TV to the S-Video Out Jack on the back of this system (the S-Video connection cable is not included). The S-Video connec- tion will provide the best picture qua- lity if your TV is equipped to handle S- Video signals. We recommend using the S-Video connection if your TV has an S-Video input jack. When con- necting the DSC100DVD unit in this manner, use the AUX Audio Input to carry the audio signal from your TV. Connecting more than one video signal output from the DSC100DVD unit will result in degradation of the video signal.

TV Connection (method 2) - using video cord:

If your TV set has neither S-Video nor SCART Input jacks, connect the Video Out jack of this system, to the Video In jack of your TV set (Composite video cable not included). When connecting

the DSC100DVD unit in this manner, use the AUX Audio Input to carry the audio signal from your TV. Connecting more than one video signal output from the DSC100DVD unit will result in degradation of the video signal.

Connecting VCR and Sat Decoder (method 3 and 4)

Diagrams 3 and 4 show possible connection methods for common system configurations. These are intended as guidelines only. Due to differences in equipment specifi- cations, the method of connection of your equipment may be different to that shown. Please consult the Owner’s Manual of your equipment for further guidance.

Aux Input for External Source

You may connect a line-level stereo analog audio source such as a Sat receiver, tape deck, phono preamp of a record player, etc. to the controller's rear panel AUX Input sockets to enjoy the benefits of your DSC system with other source components.

•VCR Connection-Audio (Cables Not Included)

To listen to the sound from your stereo VCR through the speakers of this system, connect the Left/Right audio output jacks of your stereo VCR to the Left/Right audio input jacks (AUX) of this system.

•Audio Out Connections

To record the sound of the DSC system with your VCR or any audio recording device (tape deck, MD,

CDR and some others.) the Audio Out jacks should be connected to the analog Record In jacks of the appropriate device. They can also be connected to any audio input on your TV, as shown in the diagrams, to listen to the sound of your DSC100DVD through the speakers of your TV only, when the amp in your subwoofer is turned off. As soon as the speakers of your JBL DSC system are active, the volume on your TV should be turned down.

Connecting the AC Power

Notes

•The Power Requirement is: AC 230V, 50 Hz.

•Connecting to power other than the one listed above may damage the system or cause abnormal operation.

•Before connecting the AC power cord of this system to a wall outlet, connect the speakers and other component cables to the system.

•Connect the AC power cord of the active subwoofer.

•Connect the AC power cords of your TV and any optional components to a wall outlet.

Subwoofer Auto-On

Move the Power Switch on the rear panel of the subwoofer to the ON position to use the system. The sub- woofer should normally be left on. When the controller is off, or is not sending a signal to the subwoofer, the subwoofer will be in standby. When the subwoofer senses an audio signal, it will automatically turn itself on. If the subwoofer does not sense a signal after approximately twenty minutes, it will automatically go into standby.

If you will be away from home for an extended period of time, or if the subwoofer will not be used, move the Power switch to the OFF position.
