If you experience any of the following
difficulties while using the system, use
this troubleshooting guide to help you
remedy the problem. Should any
problem persist, consult your
authorized JBL dealer.

No power.
• Is the power cord firmly plugged into

the power outlet?

• One of the safety mechanisms may

be operating. In this event, unplug
the player from the power outlet
briefly and then plug it in again.

No picture.
• Check that the system is connected

correctly and securely.

• The video cable may be damaged.

Replace it with a new one.

• Make sure the system is connected

to a video input on the TV 
(see page 11).

• Make sure the TV is turned on.

• Make sure the correct video input on

the TV is selected for viewing with
this system.

Noise (interference) appears in the
picture.
• Clean the disc.

• If video from this system has to go

through your VCR to get to your TV,
the copy-protection applied to some
DVD programs could affect picture
quality. If you still experience pro-
blems after checking your connecti-
ons, please try connecting your DVD
system directly to your TV’s S-Video
input, if your TV is equipped with this
input (see page 11).

The aspect ratio of the screen is
wrong (picture vertically expanded)
when you play a wide picture even
though you set “TV DISPLAY” in the
SETUP menu to "16:9".
• If you connect the system with the

SCART cable, connect directly to the
TV. Otherwise the autoswitch
function of the aspect ratio for the TV
may not work.

• If the TV is not connected with a

SCART cable to the DSC, or if the
autoswitch function does not work
you should turn the TV to "16:9" (if
possible with your TV).

• Depending on the TV, you may not be

able to change the aspect ratio. In
that case (TV not adjustable to 16:9)
do not select "16:9" in the TV Display.
Then, no change of the aspect ratio
is needed. 

There is no sound or volume is very
low
• Check that the speakers and

components are connected correctly
and securely.

• Make sure that you have selected

the correct source on the system.

• Press MUTE on the remote control, if

the words MUTE ON are blinking on
the front panel display.

• The protective circuitry has been

activated because of a short circuit.
Turn off the system, eliminate the
short circuit problem and turn on the
power again.

• The audio interconnect is damaged.

Replace it with a new one.

• The system is in pause mode or in

slow-motion play mode, or fast
forward or fast reverse. Press 

 to

return to normal play mode.

• Check the speaker settings 

(see page 15).

unbalanced or reversed.
• Check that the speakers and

components are connected correctly
and securely.

Severe hum or noise is heard.
• Check that the speakers and

components are connected securely.

• Check that the connecting cords are

away from a transformer or motor
and at least 3 meters away from
fluorescent light.

• Move your TV away from the audio

components.

• The plugs and jacks are dirty. Wipe

them with a cloth slightly moistened
with alcohol.

mode is turned on properly, other-
wise unload and load the disc again.

• Check the speaker connections.

• Depending on the DVD disc, the

output signal may at times be mono
or stereo even if the soundtrack is
recorded in Dolby Digital format.

The sound comes from the center
speaker only.
• Depending on the disc, sound may

sometimes come from the center
speaker only. This also applies to
mono recordings (from disc or any
analog source), when Pro Logic
mode is selected. This is normal.

No sound is heard from the center
speaker.
• Adjust center speaker volume 

(see pages 15).

No sound or only very low volume
from the rear speakers.
• Adjust the rear speaker volume 

(see page 15).

• Check that the antenna is connected

correctly. Adjust the antenna and
connect an external antenna if
necessary.

• The signal strength of the stations is

too weak for automatic tuning. Use
manual tuning.

• No stations have been preset.

• The tuner mode is not selected,

select the Radio mode.

The remote does not function.
• Remove any obstacles between the

remote control and the system.

• Move the remote control closer to

the system.

• Point the remote control at the

remote sensor on the front panel.

• Replace all the batteries in the

remote control with new ones if they
are weak.

• Check that the batteries are loaded

correctly.

Disconnect the AC power cord, then
connect it again.

Bit rate
Value indicating the amount of video
data compressed in a DVD per
second. The unit is Mbps (megabit per
second). 1 Mbps indicates that the
data per second is 1,000,000 bits. The
higher the bit rate, the larger the
amount of data. However, this does
not always mean higher quality
pictures.

Chapter
Sections of a picture or a music piece
on a DVD that are smaller than titles.
Many titles are composed of several
chapters, but many others are not.
Each chapter is assigned a chapter
number enabling you to locate the
chapter you want.

Dolby Digital (“5.1”, “AC-3”)
This sound format for movie theaters
is more advanced than Dolby Pro
Logic Surround. In this format, the rear
speakers output stereo sound with an
expanded frequency range and a
subwoofer channel for deep bass is
independently provided. This format is
also called “5.1” because the
subwoofer channel is counted as 0.1
channel (since it functions only when
a deep bass effect is needed). All six
channels in this format are recorded
separately for superior channel
separation. Furthermore, since all the
signals are processed digitally, less
signal degradation occurs. The name
“AC-3” comes from the fact that it is
the third audio coding method to be
developed by the Dolby Laboratories
Licensing Corporation.

Dolby Pro Logic II Surround
This is a method of decoding surround
recordings that produces five
channels from two-channel sound.
Compared with the former Dolby
Surround system, Dolby Pro Logic II
Surround reproduces left-to-right
panning more naturally and localizes
sounds more precisely. To take full
advantage of Dolby Pro Logic II
Surround, you should have a pair of

rear speakers and a center speaker.
The rear speakers output stereo
sound.

DTS
Digital audio compression technology
developed by Digital Theater Systems,
Inc. This technology conforms to 5.1-
channel surround. The rear channels
are stereo and there is a discrete
subwoofer channel in this format. DTS
provides 5.1 discrete channels of high
quality digital audio. Good channel
separation is realized, because all
channels are recorded discretely and
processed digitally.

MPEG AUDIO
International standard coding system
to compress audio digital signals
authorized by ISO/IEC. MPEG 1
conforms to up to 2-channel stereo,
used on some DVD’s as alternate
(other language) track.

DVD
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of
moving pictures even though its
diameter is the same as a CD. The
data capacity of a single-layer and
single-sided DVD, at 4.7 GB (Giga
Byte), is 7 times that of a CD.
Furthermore, the data capacity of a
dual-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5
GB, a single-layer and double-sided
DVD 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer and
double-sided DVD 17 GB. The picture
data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of
the worldwide standards of digital
compression technology. The picture
data is compressed to about 1/40 of its
original size. The DVD also uses the
variable rate coding technology that
changes the data to be allocated
according to the status of the picture.
The audio data is recorded in Dolby
Digital, DTS and/or PCM, allowing you
to enjoy more natural audio presence.
Furthermore, various advanced
functions such as multi-angle,
multilingual, and subtitles may be
provided with the DVD.

Multi-angle function
Various angles or viewpoints of the
video camera for a scene are
recorded on some DVDs. 

Multilingual function 
Several languages for the sound or
subtitles in a picture are recorded on
some DVDs.

Parental Control
A function of some (particulary US)
DVD’s to limit playback of the disc by
the age of the users. The limitation
varies from disc to disc. When it is
activated, playback is completely
prohibited, violent scenes are skipped
or replaced with other scenes and so
on.

Title
The longest sections of a picture or a
music piece on a DVD; a movie, etc.,
for a picture piece on video software;
or an album, etc., for a music piece on
an audio software. Each title is
assigned a title number enabling you
to locate the title you want.

Track
Sections of a music piece on a CD.
Each track is assigned a track number
enabling you to locate the track you
want.

PCM
Pulse code modulation, an
uncompressed data formation.

NTSC
National TV Systems Committee: a
video standard used in USA.

PAL
Phase Alternation Line: a video
standard used in many European
countries.
