Mains (AC) Line Instruction(Excluding Australian models)CAUTION for mains (AC) line
Connections

Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals, connecting cords or the power cord. Also, keep the antennas away from metallic parts of the System, connecting cords, and the power cord. These could cause poor reception.

Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of the System.

The speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly, it may cause color distortions. So, pay attention to the following when installing the speakers.

When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off the TV’s main power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers.

Then wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s main power switch again.

Some TVs may still be affected even though you have followed the above instructions. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV.

You cannot connect a computer and JVC Everio camcorder to the USB terminals of the System.

Noise and static electricity may stop the USB device sound. In this case, disconnect and connect the USB device again after turning off the System.

PreparationsTo change the color system and scanning mode:

• You cannot change the scanning mode to progressive in the

following cases:

– When your TV does not support the progressive video

Listening to a Disc/USB Device

JVC bears no responsibility for any loss of data in the USB mass storage class device while using this System.

When connecting with a USB cable, use the USB 2.0 cable whose length is less than 1 m.

You can connect a USB device such as a USB flash memory device, hard disk drive, multimedia card reader, etc. to this System.

When you change the source to “DVD/CD” or “USB,” it may take a while to activate the source.

While the System is reading a disc, the source may not change to “USB1” or “USB2” properly. In this case, press 7, then change the source to “USB1” or “USB2.”

On some discs, the actual operations may be different from what is explained in this manual due to the programming and disc structure; such differences are not a malfunction of this System.

The total number of tracks (files) that the System can detect is 4 000 for “DVD/CD” and “USB1,” and 2 000 for “USB2”.

The System recognizes up to...999 tracks (files) per group.99 groups per disc, “USB 1” (for NX-D7), and “USB” (for NX-D5/NX-D3/NX-DC3).999 groups per “USB 2.”

Unplayable files are also counted in the total file number. Playable files which do not belong to any groups are recognized as files of group 1.

Program Play/Random Play/Group Play:
• Program is cleared in the following cases:
– When the System is turned off (standby).

– For USB2 (NX-D7), when the source is changed to USB1.

Setup MenuGeneral:

If the upper and lower parts of the menu are cut off, adjust the picture size control of the TV.

LANGUAGE menu:

When the language you have selected for “MENU LANGUAGE,” “AUDIO LANGUAGE,” or “SUBTITLE” is not recorded, the original language is used as the initial language.

PICTURE menu—MONITOR TYPE:

Even if “4:3 PS,” “4:3 MULTI PS” is selected, the screen size may become 4:3 letter box while playing a disc/file. This depends on how the discs are recorded.

When you select “16:9 NORMAL,” “16:9 MULTI NORMAL” or “16:9 AUTO,” “16:9 MULTI AUTO” for a picture whose aspect ratio is 4:3, the picture changes slightly due to the process of converting the picture width.

OTHERS menu—ON SCREEN GUIDE:

The setup menu and on-screen bar will be displayed (and recorded) even if this function is set to “OFF.” Subtitles and the information for zoom-in always appear on the display regardless of this setting.

Timer Operations

General:

When the System is on standby, you cannot set Daily Timer or Recording Timer (for NX-D7).

Setting the Clock:

Precautions
Notes on the power cord

When you are away on travel or otherwise for an extended period of time, remove the plug from the wall outlet.

When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the power cord.

Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the System or moving the System.

Do not alter, twist or pull the power cord, or put anything heavy on it, which may cause fire, electric shock, or other accidents.

If the cord is damaged, consult a dealer and have the power cord replaced with a new one.

Avoid moisture, water, dust, and high temperaturesDo not place the System in moist or dusty places.

If water gets inside the System, turn off the power and remove the plug from the wall outlet, then consult your dealer. Using the System in this state may cause a fire or electrical shock.

Do not expose the System to direct sunlight or place it near a heating device.Notes on installation

Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold—between 5˚C and 35˚C.

Do not install the System in a place subject to vibrations.Do not put heavy objects on the System.

Do not drag or push the speakers on the floor or table; otherwise, the four feet at the bottom side of each speaker may peel off or drop from the speaker.

To prevent malfunction or damage of the System

Do not insert any metallic objects, such as wires, hairpins, coins, etc. into the System.

Do not block the vents.

There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If anything goes wrong, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer.
