JBL CVR700, CVPD50 manual Basic Operation

BASIC OPERATION

Once you have completed the initial setup and configuration of the JBL Cinema Vision system, it is simple to operate and enjoy. The following instruc- tions will help you maximize the enjoy- ment of your new home theater system:

Turning the CVR700 and CVPD50 On or Off

Plug the CVPD50 and CVR700 power cords into unswitched AC wall outlets. When using the system for the first time, you must make sure that the power switch on the underside of the CVPD50 next to the AC power cord is switched on to the “1” position. Use a mirror to assist you in locating the switch and ascertain- ing whether it is on or off. This places the CVPD50 in a Standby mode, as indicated by the amber color of the LED located on the front of the screen, below the picture. In addition, the LED in the middle of the Main Power On/Off Switch 1on the CVR700 will turn red.

Once the units are in Standby, you may begin a listening session by pressing the Main Power On/Off Switch 1, which will turn on both the CVR700 and the CVPD50, or press the Power On (All) Button b 1 . If you hold it for 3 seconds, all devices programmed into the remote will also turn on. The LED in the center of the Main Power On/Off Switch 1will turn orange, and the LED on the front of the CVPD50 will turn green. This will turn the CVR700 on and return it to the input source that was last used.

The system may also be turned on from Standby by pressing and holding any of the Input Selector Buttons d 2

10. This will not only power on the CVR700, CVPD50 and any source unit associated with that button, it will also begin play of the currently loaded disc if the internal DVD/CD changer was selected as the source.

NOTE: After pressing one of the Input

Selector Buttons d 2 10 to turn

the unit on, press the System Selector

f33 to set the remote control to the CVR700 functions. Press the DVD Input Selector d 2 to control the internal DVD/CD changer.

To turn the unit off at the end of a listen- ing session, simply press the Main Power On/Off Control 1on the front panel or the Power Off Button a 39 on the remote. You may also press and hold the Power Off (All) Button a

39to turn off any external source units. The LED indicator in the center of the

Main Power On/Off Control 1will turn red, and the LED on the front of the CVPD50 will turn amber. When the remote is used to turn the unit “off” it is actually placing the system in a Standby mode, as indicated by the red color of the LED on the CVR700 and the amber color of the LED on the CVPD50.

To program the CVR700 for automatic turn-off, press the Sleep Button

Y14 on the remote. Each press of the button will decrease the time before shut-down in the following sequence: 90 minutes, 80 minutes, 70 minutes, 60 min- utes, 50 minutes, 40 minutes, 30 minutes, 20 minutes, 10 minutes, Sleep Timer Off. The sleep time will be displayed in the

Lower Display Line E, and it will count down until the time has elapsed.

When the programmed sleep time has elapsed, the system will automatically turn off. The CVR700’s front-panel display will dim to one-half brightness when the Sleep function is programmed. To cancel the Sleep function, press and hold the Sleep Button Y 14 until the informa- tion display returns to normal brightness; the Sleep indicator numbers will disap- pear and the words SLEEP OFF will appear in the Lower Display Line E.

When you will be away from home for an extended period of time it is always a good idea to completely turn the unit off by unplugging the CVR700, and switching off the master power switch located on the underside of the CVPD50 next to the power plug. NOTE: Preset memories should be retained indefinitely.
