You can adjust each enhancement level from the front speakers
within the range from –10 to +10.
On the remote control:
Press BASS +/– for bass sound.
Press TREBLE +/– for treble sound.
NOTE
• You can also make adjustments using the choice menu shown on the
TV screen. (Apg.49)
• The adjustments on a source take effect for the other sources.
• You can adjust bass/treble enhancement level only for front left/right
channel. However, the supplied speakers cannot add the effective
change to the bass sound because of their cutoff frequency even if the
bass sound adjustment is made. (Apg. 50)
To change the bass enhancement level more efficiently, adjust the
output level of the subwoofer. (A “Adjusting the output level of the
subwoofer”)
(When you change the front speakers to the larger ones and select
“LARGE” for the front speakers in the SIZE sub-menu (Apg. 50),
the effective adjustment of bass sound is also possible by pressing
BASS +/–.)
When you play a disc (or software) encoded with Dolby Digital or
DTS Digital Surround, the following symptoms may occur;
• Sound does not come out at the beginning of playback.
• Noise comes out while searching for or skipping chapters or
tracks.
In these cases, change the decode mode to “DOLBY D” (for Dolby
Digital) or “DTS” (for DTS Digital Surround).

On the remote control:
Press DECODE to select the decode mode.
The current decode mode appears on the display window.

• DOLBY D: Select this if the symptoms above occur when
playing a disc (or software) encoded with Dolby
Digital.
• DTS: Select this if the symptoms above occur when
playing a disc (or software) encoded with DTS

NOTE
• When “DOLBY D” or “DTS” is selected, if a signal encoded with
another digital format comes in, you cannot listen to the sound. (The
GDIGITAL or C
indicator flashes.)
• Changing the source returns the decode mode to “AUTO/PCM”
automatically.
This system supports the progressive scan system (525p*) as well
as the conventional interlaced scan system (525i*).
If your TV equipped with component jacks supports the
progressive video input, you can enjoy a high quality picture by
setting the progressive scan mode to 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.
* 525p and 525i indicate the number of scanning lines and
scanning format of an image signal.
•525p indicates 525 scanning lines with progressive format.
•525i indicates 525 scanning lines with interlaced format.
7When DVD is selected as the source
On the remote control:
1Press DVD.
2Press and hold PROGRESSIVE 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.
When “PROGRESSIVE” is selected, the PROGRESSIVE
indicator lights.
NOTE
• When “PAL” is selected on the VIDEO OUT SELECT switch
(Apg. 8), the scan mode is fixed to “INTERLACE”. So the scan
mode cannot be changed.
• There are some progressive TVs and High-Definition TVs that are not
fully compatible with this system, resulting in an 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
