JVC RX-DV5SL manual Attenuating the Input Signal, Changing the Scanning Mode, Input ATT indicator

Attenuating the Input Signal

When the input level of the analog source is too high, the sounds will be distorted. If this happens, you need to attenuate the input signal level to prevent the sound distortion.

•You have to make this adjustment for each analog source.

Notes:

• Some progressive TVs and High-Definition TVs are not fully

compatible with this system. When the unnatural picture is played

back, change the scanning mode to “INTERLACE.” To check the

compatibility of your TV, contact your dealer.

All JVC progressive TVs and High-Definition TVs are fully

compatible with this system respectively.
