water – for example, near a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen

sink or laundry tub; in a wet basement; near a swimming

pool; or the like.

8. Accessories. Do not place this product on an unsta-

ble cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table. The product may

fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious

damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod,

bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold

with the product. Any mounting of the product should follow

the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting

accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

9. A Product and Cart Combination Should Be

uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart

combination to overturn.

10. Ventilation. Slots and openings in the cabinet are

provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation

of the product and to protect it from overheating, and

these openings must not be blocked

or covered. The openings should

never be blocked by placing the

product on a bed, sofa, rug or

other similar surface. This prod-

uct should not be placed in a built-in installation, such as

a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided

or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

11. Power Sources. This product should be operated

only from the type of power source indicated on the

marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power

supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local

power company. For products intended to operate from

sion cords, or integral convenience receptacles, as this

can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

19. Object and Liquid Entry. Never push objects of

any kind into this product through openings, as they may

touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that

could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of

any kind on the product.

20. Servicing. Do not attempt to service this product

yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you

to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing

to qualified service personnel.

21. Damage Requiring Service. Unplug this product

from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified serv-

ice personnel under the following conditions:

a. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged;

b. Objects have fallen onto, or liquid has been spilled

into, the product; or

c. The product has been exposed to rain or water; or

d. The product does not operate normally when follow-

ing the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls

that are covered by the operating instructions, as an

improper adjustment of other controls may result in dam-

age and will often require extensive work by a qualified

technician to restore the product to its normal operation;

e. The product has been dropped or damaged in any

way; or

f. The product exhibits a distinct change in performance;

this indicates a need for service.

22. Replacement Parts. When replacement parts are

required, be sure the service technician has used replace-

ment parts specified by the manufacturer or that have the

same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized

substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other

hazards.

23. Safety Check. Upon completion of any service or

repairs to this product, ask the service technician to per-

form safety checks to determine that the product is in

proper operating condition.

24. Wall or Ceiling Mounting. The product should be

mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the

manufacturer.

25. Heat. The product should be situated away from

heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or

other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

Important Safety Information

Verify Line Voltage Before Use

Your JBL Cinema ProPack 600 home-theater

system has has been designed for use with

120-volt AC current. Connection to a line voltage

other than that for which it is intended can

create a safety and fire hazard and may

damage the system.

If you have any questions about the voltage

requirements for your specific model, or about

the line voltage in your area, contact your selling

dealer before plugging the components into a

wall outlet.

Do Not Use Extension Cords

To avoid safety hazards, use only the power

cord attached to your components. We do not

recommend that extension cords be used with

this product. As with all electrical devices, do

not run power cords under rugs or carpets or

place heavy objects on them. Damaged power

cords should be replaced immediately by an

authorized service depot with a cord meeting

factory specifications.

Handle the AC Power Cord Gently

When disconnecting the power cord from an

AC outlet, always pull the plug – never pull the

cord. If you do not intend to use the system for

any considerable length of time, disconnect the

plugs from the AC outlet.

Do Not Open the Cabinet

of Any Components

There are no user-serviceable components

inside this product. Opening the cabinets may

present a shock hazard, and any modification

to the product will void your guarantee. If water

or any metal object such as a paper clip, wire or

a staple accidentally falls inside, disconnect it

from the AC power source immediately, and

consult an authorized service station.

CATV or Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is

connected to this product, be certain that it

is grounded so as to provide some protection

against voltage surges and static charges.

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,

ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information

with respect to proper grounding of the mast

and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in

wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding

conductors, location of antenna discharge

unit, connection to grounding electrodes and

requirements of the grounding electrode.

NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM

INSTALLER:

This reminder is provided to call the CATV

(Cable TV) system installer’s attention to article

820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for

proper grounding and, in particular, specifies

that the cable ground shall be connected to the

grounding system of the building, as close to

the point of cable entry as possible.

Installation Location

■ To ensure proper operation, particularly of

the precision laser transport mechanism and

carousel tray in the DVD600, and to avoid

the potential for safety hazards, place the

components on a firm and level surface.

When placing the components on a shelf, be

certain that the shelf and any mounting

hardware can support the weight of the

product.

■ Make certain that proper space is provided

both above and below each component for

ventilation. If this product will be installed

in a cabinet or other enclosed area, make

certain that there is sufficient air movement

within the cabinet. Under some circum-

stances, a fan may be required.

■ Make certain that there is enough room in

front of the DVD600 for the disc tray to open

fully, and that there is enough space above

the unit so that discs may easily be inserted.

■ Do not place the components directly on a

carpeted surface.

■ Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold

locations, or in an area that is exposed to

direct sunlight or heating equipment.

■ Avoid moist or humid locations.

■ Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the

top of any component, or place objects

directly over them.

■ Do not place the DVD600 in a location that

is subject to direct sunlight or extreme

heat or cold, as these conditions may

damage the discs used in the player, or

the player itself.

Cleaning

When the system gets dirty, wipe it with a

clean, soft, dry cloth. If necessary, wipe it with a

soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water,

then a fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe dry

immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER use ben-

zene, aerosol cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any

other volatile cleaning agent. Do not use

abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the fin-

ish of metal parts. Avoid spraying insecticide

near the components.

Moving the Components

Before moving the components, be certain to

disconnect any interconnection cords with

other components, and make certain that you

disconnect the unit from the AC outlet.

Unpacking

The carton and shipping materials used to pro-

tect your new home theater system during

shipment were specially designed to cushion it

from shock and vibration. We suggest that you

save the carton and packing materials for use

in shipping if you move, or should the system

ever need repair.

To minimize the size of the carton in storage,

you may wish to flatten it. This is done by

carefully slitting the tape seams on the bottom

and collapsing the carton. Other cardboard

inserts may be stored in the same manner.

Packing materials that cannot be collapsed

should be saved along with the carton in a

plastic bag.

If you do not wish to save the packaging mate-

rials, please note that the carton and other

sections of the shipping protection are recycla-

ble. Please respect the environment and dis-

card those materials at a local recycling center.

What‘s Included

Installing and Connecting the Equipment

When making connections to audio source equipment or speakers, it is

always a good practice to unplug the unit from the AC wall outlet. This

prevents any possibility of accidentally sending audio or transient signals

to the speakers that may damage them.

Refer to the attached Quick Installation diagrams and the Rear Panel

Connections diagrams for the DCR600 and DVD600 on pages 16 and 20

when connecting your equipment.

We recommend a simple connection of your system components to each

other, plus a video connection to your television. After you have made

these connections, you may wish to read further in this owner’s manual for

information on connecting other components, such as external tape or dig-

ital recorders, CD players, laserdisc players, cable television boxes,

satellite dishes, video games or other devices.

Important Note: Any cables run inside walls should be CL3/FT4 rated, or

carry any other certification that is required by the NEC or state and local

building and electrical codes. To avoid interference, audio and speaker

cables should not be parallel to, or run in the same conduits or path with,

AC cables. If you have any questions about wiring, consult your dealer or

electrical contractor.

Where to Place the Speakers

Mounting Options

Satellites and Surrounds

On shelves.

Wall-Mounting

Attach plate to wall. The

brackets should be placed, if

possible, so that the screws

will fasten into a wooden wall

stud. If that is not possible, use

properly selected wall anchors.

The customer is responsible for proper

selection and use of mounting hardware,

available through hardware stores, to prop-

erly and safely wall-mount the speakers.

On the wall. Wall brackets

are included.

Slide speaker onto support.

On optional stands (FS300).

Place speaker and sup-

port on wall plate.

Subwoofer

Surround Speakers

Front Speakers Center-Channel Speaker

The front speakers should be placed the same

distance from each other as they are from the

listening position. They should be placed at

about the same height from the floor as the

listeners’ ears will be, or they may be angled

toward the listeners.

The center-channel speaker should be placed

slightly behind the front left and right speakers,

and no more than two feet above or below the

tweeters of the left and right speakers. It is

often convenient to set the center speaker on

top of the television set, as shown in the drawing.

Use the supplied support leg to aim it toward

the listener by screwing the leg in to angle the

speaker up, or unscrewing the leg slightly to

angle the speaker down.

The two surround speakers should be placed

slightly behind the listening position and, ideally,

should face each other and be at a level higher

than the listeners’ ears. If that is not possible,

they may be placed on a wall behind the listening

position, facing forward. The surround speakers

should not call attention to themselves.

Experiment with their placement until you hear a

diffuse, ambient sound accompanying the main-

program material heard in the front speakers.

The low-frequency material reproduced by the

subwoofer is mostly omnidirectional, and this

speaker may be placed in a convenient location

in the room. However, the best reproduction of

bass will be heard when the subwoofer is

placed in a corner along the same wall as the

front speakers. Experiment with subwoofer

placement by temporarily placing the subwoofer

in the listening position and moving around the

room until the bass reproduction is best. Place

the subwoofer in that location.

Connecting the Speakers

Making the Audio Connections

Separate and strip

the ends of the

speaker wire as

shown. Speakers

and electronics ter-

minals have

corresponding (+)

and (–) terminals.

Most manufacturers of speakers and electronics,

including JBL, use red to denote the (+) terminal

and black for the (–) terminal.

The (+) lead of the speaker wire is noted with a

stripe. It is important to connect both speakers

identically: (+) on the speaker to (+) on the

receiver and (–) on the speaker to (–) on the

receiver. Wiring “out of phase” results in thin

sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image.

With the advent of multichannel surround-sound

systems, connecting all of the speakers in your

system with the correct polarity remains equally

important in order to preserve the proper ambi-

ence and directionality of the program material.

The wires for the three front speakers should all

be of the same length even if the speakers will

be placed at varying distances from the DCR600.

The same applies to the two rear speakers. To

make sure that you use the correct wires for

each speaker, we have color-coded them, as

shown in the diagram:

Left Front: White Wire

Center: Green Wire

Right Front: Red Wire

Right Rear: Yellow Wire

Left Rear: Blue Wire

Finally, connect one end of the single-lead RCA

cable with brown connectors to the LFE/Subwoofer

output ⁄ on the back of the DCR600 receiver,

and the other end to the LFE Input on the

back of the SCS135S subwoofer.

1. Assemble the supplied AM Loop Antenna as

shown above. Connect it to the AM and GND

terminals ¢ on the back of the DCR600.

2. Connect the supplied 75-ohm FM antenna to

the FM terminal § on the back of the DCR600.

Note that if you use an optional external FM

antenna with 300-ohm twin-lead cable, you

must use a 300-ohm-to-75-ohm adaptor (not

supplied) to make the connection.

3. Connect one end of the supplied single-lead

coaxial digital cable with orange connectors to

the COAX1 (upper) digital input g on the receiver,

and connect the other end to the coaxial digital

output on the DVD changer.

4. In order to obtain the best possible sound

reproduction when watching your television, con-

nect the left and right analog audio outputs of

your TV to the Video 2 Audio inputs h on the

DCR600 using the red (right) and white (left)

leads of the supplied triple-lead RCA cable.

Colors shown in parentheses are wiring color codes.

Connect all components as per the Quick Setup

Guide, or as per pages 6 thru 8 of this manual.

Remove the protective plastic films from the

front panel displays of the DCR600 and DVD600.

1. Plug the Power Cord ‡ into an unswitched

AC outlet.

2. Press the Main Power Switch 1 in so that

it latches in and is flush with the front panel.

Note that the Power Indicator 3 will turn

amber, indicating that the unit is in the

Standby mode.

3. Install the three supplied AAA batteries in the

remote as shown. Be certain to follow the (+)

and (–) polarity indicators that are on the bot-

tom of the battery compartment.

4. Turn the DCR600 on, either by pressing the

System Power Control 2 on the front

panel, or by pressing an Input Selector

ijklmno on the remote.

The Power Indicator 3 will turn green to

confirm that the unit is on, and the

Information Display Ú will also light up.

Setting the output levels correctly is the key to

preserving the enveloping surround sensation

that the artists of your favorite movies intended

for you to experience.

1. Make sure the Balance Control * is in

the “12 o‘clock” position, and put the DCR600

in Dolby Pro Logic* mode by pressing the

Surround Mode Selector t7repeat-

edly until PRO LOGIC appears in the

Main Information Display W, and the

PRO LOGIC indicator F lights.

2. Press the Test Button q to start a test

tone circulating from speaker to speaker,

starting with the front left speaker (indicated

by FL in the display), and going around

clockwise. Let it circulate once to check that

your speakers have been connected correctly.

3. The goal is to obtain the same output level

from each speaker. Use the front left speaker

as your reference, adjusting the Volume

Control Ósw until the sound coming

from the front left speaker is at a comfortable

level.

4. If any other speaker sounds too loud or soft

in comparison to the front left speaker, adjust

its output level by pressing the

⁄

Buttons

y on the remote, or the Selector

Buttons 5 on the receiver’s front panel.

This will cause the test tone to pause at that

speaker to allow you to make the adjustment.

When you are satisfied with the level of that

speaker, press the Set Button Ô to

store the setting. The tone will continue to

circulate after about 15 seconds.

5. If you are using a sound pressure level (SPL)

meter for precise level adjustment, start by

setting the volume so that the meter reads

75dB, C-Weighting, Slow.

6. When you are finished adjusting the levels

for all speakers (except the subwoofer, which

is not adjustable using this procedure), press

the Test Button q to end the test tone.

For most installations, your DCR600 receiver

should now be ready for use. If you would like

further information on making other, advanced

settings, please see the section titled

“Configuring the DCR600 Receiver”.

Making the Video Connections

IMPORTANT NOTE: The DCR600 and DVD600

offer both S-Video and composite video inputs

and outputs. However, you must choose one

type of connection or the other for all connec-

tions in your system. This will depend on the

type of connections on your television. If both

types of connections are available, we recom-

mend that you purchase S-Video cables and

make those connections for superior picture

quality. The composite video connections will

also provide excellent results. However, the

DCR600 will not convert from one type of signal

to the other.

1. Connect one end of the single-lead RCA cable

with yellow connectors to the composite video

output on the DVD600 and the other end

to the DVD composite video input ª on the

receiver.

Connect one end of an S-Video cable (not sup-

plied) to the S-Video output on the DVD600

to the DVD S-Video input ª on the receiver.

2. Connect one of the yellow ends of the triple-

lead RCA cable with red, white and yellow con-

nectors to the Video Monitor composite video

output ‚ on the receiver, and the other end to

the composite video input jack on your television.

This jack is often color-coded yellow; however, if

you have any questions about which jack to use,

consult your television’s owner’s manual or your

dealer for assistance.

Connect one end of a second S-Video cable

(not supplied) to the Video Monitor S-Video

output ‚ on the receiver, and the other end

to the S-Video input jack on your television.

3. If your television is equipped with component

video (Y/Pr/Pb) inputs, in addition to the above

connections, you may use a triple-lead compo-

nent video cable (not supplied) to connect the

component video outputs on the DVD600 to

the inputs on your television.

4. Connect one end of the black 1/8" mini phone

cord to the Remote IR Output ° on the

DCR600, and the other end to the Remote IR

Input on the DVD600.

If you will not be connecting additional equip-

ment to your system just yet, you may plug in

the receiver, DVD changer and subwoofer. The

DVD600 may be plugged into the Unswitched

Accessory Outlet ﬂ on the rear of the

receiver. The receiver has a master power

switch 1 which must be pressed in first, and a

power switch 2, which should be pressed sec-

ond. The last source selection will appear in the

receiver’s information display.

The DCR600 is set at the factory to a default

configuration for use with small satellite speak-

ers and a powered subwoofer such as the JBL

SCS135S. If other speakers are used, then the

speaker configurations may need to be changed.

Although the DCR600 is set to the correct speaker

configuration settings for the speakers supplied

with this system at the factory, you will need

to adjust the output levels of the speakers to

customize the system to your speaker placement

and room acoustics.

to access all locations. Make sure each disc is

loaded with the label side up, and that it is

seated correctly in its location.

When you close the drawer, the DVD600 will

automatically start playing the first disc it rec-

ognizes, whether it is a CD or DVD disc.

However, whichever type of disc is playing,

make sure that you have selected DVD as the

input source on the DCR600 by pressing d on

the remote, or ! on the front panel of the

receiver until DVD is indicated.

For most discs, the DVD600 and DCR600 will

automatically select the correct surround mode.

To make sure that audio in the DTS audio format

is correctly processed, you must choose that for-

mat as the default in the DVD600’s setup menu.

Simply stop play of the disc, and enter the setup

menu by pressing z on the remote. Use the

⁄

the point where it was stopped. Pressing the

Stop Button twice will cause play to

resume from the beginning of the disc, or the

disc’s main menu.

You may wish to listen to the tracks of a CD, or

view the chapters of a DVD, in a different order

than they appear on the disc.

The Random function will play all of the tracks

on one CD, or all of the chapters on one DVD, in

a random order selected by the DVD600. The

DVD600 does not randomly play selections from

all five discs inserted in its tray, since this might

result in the odd experience of alternating among

audio tracks and disjointed video selections.

Simply press the Random Button once to

start random play, and press it again to return to

standard play, using the disc’s main menu.

The DVD600 offers several variations of Repeat

Play: Repeat All discs in the unit once; Repeat

IMPORTANT NOTES:

A. The AC plug connections should always be

the last connections made when installing an

A/V system. When making subsequent connec-

tions to audio source equipment or speakers, it

is always a good practice to unplug the unit

from the AC wall outlet. This prevents the pos-

sibility of sending audio or transient signals to

the speakers that may damage them.

B. Connect devices as per the Quick Setup

Guide or per pages 6 through 8 of this manual.

C. The DCR600 offers both composite and S-

Video inputs and outputs. However, either S

or composite input/output connections should

be used throughout the system in order for it to

function properly. Do not use S-Video and com-

posite video connections interchangeably.

D. The digital outputs are active only when a

digital signal is present, and they do not con-

vert an analog input to a digital signal, or

change the format of the digital signal. In

addition, any digital recorder used must be

compatible with the output signal. For exam-

ple, the PCM digital input from a CD player

may be recorded on a CD-R or MiniDisc, but

Dolby Digital or DTS signals may not.

Remote Control Functions

IMPORTANT NOTE: The JBL Cinema ProPack

600 remote control may be programmed to

control up to eight devices, including the

DCR600 and DVD600. It is helpful to think of

the remote as being organized into “pages,”

with one page for each device. Depending on

which device has been selected, the buttons

on that device’s page will perform different

functions, as listed starting on the next page.

These functions may vary from the labels on

the remote, and from one device to the next.

Some buttons may perform no function at all

for a given device.

In order to go to the page for a particular

device, such as the DVD600, you will need to

press the Input Selector button for that device

(DVD in this case), located in a grouping just

below the power buttons. The remote will then

function as if it were dedicated to the DVD600.

If you would like to make an adjustment that

affects the DCR600 receiver, such as turning

the volume up or down, you must first go to

the page for the DCR600 by pressing its Input

Selector button. This button is labeled "Main"

on the remote. The exception to this rule is

that the DVD600’s transport functions – Play,

Forward and Reverse Search, Stop, Pause, and

Previous and Next Chapter/Track Skip – may

be accessed from the "Main" page, without

having to jump to the DVD page.

a Power Off Button: Turns off the power

to a device selected by pressing its Input

Selector.

b Power On Button: Turns on the power to

a device selected by pressing its Input

Selector.

c Mute Button: Press to momentarily

silence the DCR600 or TV set being controlled,

depending on which device has been selected.

Once the speakers have been placed in the

room and connected, the remaining steps in the

setup process are to calibrate the output levels

and set the delay times used by the surround-

sound processor.

The DCR600 features an advanced memory

system that enables you to establish different

configurations for the speaker configuration,

surround mode, delay times and output levels

for each input source. This flexibility enables

you to custom-tailor the way in which you listen

to each source and have the DCR600 memorize

those settings. This means, for example, that

you may use different output levels or trims for

different sources, or set different speaker con-

figurations with the resultant changes to the

bass management system. Once these settings

are made, they will automatically be recalled

whenever you select that input.

The factory default settings for the DCR600

have all inputs (except DVD) configured for an

analog source, and stereo as the surround

mode. Before using the unit, you will probably

want to change the settings for most inputs so

that they are properly configured to reflect the

use of digital or analog inputs, and the surround

mode specifics. Remember that since the

DCR600 memorizes the settings for each input

individually, you will need to make these adjust-

ments for each input used. However, once they

are made, further adjustment is only required

when system components are changed.

Once you have completed the settings for the

first input, many settings may be duplicated for

the remaining inputs. Remember that once the

settings are made for one input, they must be

made for all other input sources in your system.

Memory Backup

This product is equipped with a memory backup

system that preserves the system configuration

information and tuner presets if the unit is acci-

dentally unplugged or subjected to a power out-

age. This memory will last for approximately

two weeks, after which time all information

must be reentered.

Configuring the Speakers

The following instructions are to be followed

only if the DCR600 is not used with JBL SCS135

or SCS135S, or if speaker settings have been

accidently altered from the default settings,

which are SMALL for all positions with SUB-

WOOFER ON. Otherwise go to the Output

Level Adjustments section on page 39. For each

of these settings use the LARGE setting if

the speakers for a particular position are tradi-

tional full-range loudspeakers that are capable

of reproducing sounds below 100Hz. Use the

SMALL setting for smaller, frequency-limited

satellite speakers that do not reproduce sounds

below 100Hz. Note that when “small” speakers

are used, a subwoofer is required to reproduce

low-frequency sounds. Remember that the

“large” and “small” descriptions do not refer to

the actual physical size of the speakers, but

their ability to reproduce low-frequency sounds.

If you are in doubt as to which category

describes your speakers, consult the specifica-

tions in the speakers’ owner’s manual, or ask

your dealer.

With the DCR600 turned on, follow these steps

to configure the speakers:

1. Put the DCR600 in the Dolby Pro Logic mode

by pressing the Surround Mode Selector

7 on the front panel or by pressing the

Surround Mode Selector t on the

remote, until PRO LOGIC appears in the

Main Information Display W and the

PRO LOGIC Indicator F lights.

2. Press the Speaker Button

on the front

panel. The words FNT SPEAKER will

appear in the Main Information Display W.

3. Press the Set Button

4. Press the

⁄

Buttons y on the

remote or the Selector Buttons

5 on the

front panel until either LARGE or SMALL

appears, matching the type of speakers you

have at the left-front and right-front positions,

as described by the definitions shown in the

preceding section.

When SMALL is selected, low-frequency

sounds will be sent to the subwoofer output

only. Note that if you choose this option, and

there is no subwoofer connected, you will not

hear any low-frequency sounds from the front

channels.

When LARGE is selected, a full-range

output will be sent to the front-left and

front-right outputs, and NO low-frequency

signals will be sent to the subwoofer output.

5. When you have completed your selection for

the front channel, press the Set Button

, and then press the

⁄

Buttons y

on the remote or the Selector Buttons 5

on the front panel to change the display to

CEN SPEAKER.

6. Press the Set Button

again, and use

the

⁄

Buttons y on the remote, or

the Selector Buttons 5 on the front panel,

to select the option that best describes your

system, based on the speaker definitions

shown in the preceding section.

When CEN SMALL is selected, low-

frequency center-channel sounds will be sent

to the subwoofer output only. Note that if you

choose this option and there is no subwoofer

connected, you will not hear any low-frequency

sounds from the center-channel speaker.

When CEN LARGE is selected, a full-range

output will be sent to the center-speaker output,

and NO center-channel signal will be sent to

the subwoofer output.

When CEN NONE is selected, no signals

will be sent to the center-channel output. The

receiver will operate in a “phantom” center-

channel mode and center-channel information

will be sent to the left- and right-front channel

outputs.

7. When you have completed your selection for

the center channel, press the Set Button

, and then press the

‹

›

Buttons `

on the remote or the Selector Buttons

on the front panel to change the display to

SUR SPEAKER.

8. Press the Set Button

again, and then

use the

⁄

Buttons y on the remote

or the Selector Buttons 5 on the front

panel to select the option that best describes

your system, based on the speaker definitions

shown in the preceding section.

When SUR SMALL is selected, low-

frequency surround-channel sounds will be

sent to the subwoofer output only. Note that

if you choose this option and there is no sub-

woofer connected, you will not hear any low-

frequency sounds from the surround speaker.

When SUR LARGE is selected, a full-range

output will be sent to the surround-channel

outputs, and NO surround-channel signals will

be sent to the subwoofer output.

When SUR NONE is selected, surround-

sound information will be split between the

front-left and front-right outputs. Note that

for optimal performance when no surround

speakers are in use, the Dolby 3 Stereo mode

should be used instead of Dolby Pro Logic.

9. When you have completed your selection for

the surround channel, press the Set Button

, and then press the

⁄

Buttons

y on the remote or the Selector

Buttons 5 on the front panel to change the

display to S-W SPEAKER.

10. Press the Set Button

, and then

press the

⁄

Buttons y on the

remote or the Selector Buttons 5 on the

front panel to select the option that best

describes your system.

The choices available for the subwoofer position

will depend on the settings for the other speakers,

particularly the front left/right positions.

If the front left/right speakers are set to SMALL,

the subwoofer will automatically be set to SUB,

which is the “on” position.

If the front left/right speakers are set to LARGE,

three options are available:

•

If no subwoofer is connected to the DCR600,

press the

⁄

Buttons y on the

remote so that SUB NONE appears in the

Main Information Display W. When this

option is selected, all bass information will be

routed to the front left/right “main” speakers.

•

If a subwoofer is connected to the DCR600,

you have the option to have the front

left/right “main” speakers reproduce bass fre-

quencies at all times, and have the sub-

woofer operate only when the DCR600 is

being used with a digital source that contains

a dedicated Low-Frequency Effects, or LFE,

soundtrack. This allows you to use both your

main and subwoofer speakers to take advan-

tage of the special bass created for certain

movies. Press

⁄

Buttons y on the

remote so that SUB (LFE) appears in

the Main Information Display W.

•

If a subwoofer is connected and you wish to

use it for bass reproduction in conjunction

with the main front left/right speakers,

regardless of the type of program source or

surround mode you are listening to, press the

⁄

Buttons y on the remote so

that SUB L/R+LFE appears in the

Main Information Display W. When this

option is selected, a “complete” feed will be

sent to the front left/right “main” speakers,

and the subwoofer will receive the bass

frequencies under the frequency selected in

the next option setting on this menu, as

described below.

11. When all speaker selections have been

made, press the Set Button

return to normal operation.

Adjusting the Output Levels

Output level adjustment is a key part of the

configuration process for any surround-sound

product. It is particularly important for a Dolby

Digital receiver such as the DCR600, as correct

outputs will ensure that you hear soundtracks in

their proper place with the proper directionality

and intensity.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Listeners are often

confused about the operation of the surround

channels. While some assume that sound

should always be coming from each speaker,

most of the time there will be little or no sound

in the surround channels. This is because they

are only used when a movie director or sound

mixer specifically places sound there to create

ambience or a special effect, or to continue

action from the front of the room to the rear.

When the output levels are properly set, it is

normal for surround speakers to operate only

occasionally. Artificially increasing the volume

to the rear speakers may destroy the illusion of

an enveloping sound field that duplicates the

way you hear sound in a movie theater or con-

cert hall.

Before beginning the adjustment process, make

certain that all speaker connections have been

properly made. The system volume should be

set to the level that you will use during a typical

listening session. Finally, make certain that the

Balance Control * is set to the center

“12 o’clock” position.

To assist in making speaker configuration set-

tings, the icons in the Speaker/Channel Input

Indicators O change as the speaker type is

selected at each position. When only the center

icon box containing the abbreviation for the

speaker position is lit, the speaker is set for

“small.” When the inner box and the two outer

boxes with circles inside them are lit, the speaker

is set for “large.” When no indicator appears at

a speaker location, that position is set for

“none” or “no” speaker.

For example, in the following figure, the left

front and right front speakers are set for LARGE,

the center, left surround (LS) and right surround

(RS) speakers are set for SMALL, and a

subwoofer is set, as shown by the box with

the abbreviation “LFE”, which stands for

“low-frequency effects.”

To adjust and calibrate the output levels, follow

these steps. For accurate calibration, it is a

good idea to make these adjustments while

seated in your favorite listening position:

1. Put the DCR600 in the Dolby Pro Logic mode by

pressing the Surround Mode Selector 7 on

the front panel, or by pressing the Surround

Mode Selector t on the remote, until

PRO LOGIC appears in the Main

Information Display W and the PRO LOGIC

Indicator F lights up.

2. Press the Test Button q on the remote.

T-T FL 0dB will appear in the Main

Information Display W and the letters FL

will flash once each second.

3. The test noise will immediately begin to

circulate in the speakers in a clockwise

rotation, pausing at each position for three

seconds. As the test noise rotates, the speaker

position will be shown in the Main Information

Display W .

NOTE: This is a good time to verify that the

speakers have been properly connected. As

the test noise circulates, listen to make

certain that the sound comes from the speaker

position shown in the Main Information

Display. If the sound from a speaker location

does NOT match the position indicated in the

display, turn the DCR600 off using the Main

Power Switch 1 and check the speaker

wiring to make certain that each speaker is

connected to the correct output terminal.

4. After checking for speaker placement, let the

test noise circulate, and listen to see which

channels sound louder than the others. Using

the front left (FL in the display) speaker as a

reference, press the

6. When you have adjusted the outputs so that

all channels have the same level, press the

Test Button h on the remote to complete

the adjustment.

NOTE: The output levels may be separately

trimmed for each digital and analog surround

mode. If you wish to have different trim levels

for a specific mode, select that mode and follow

the instructions in the steps shown earlier.

Setting Delay Times

Due to the different distances between the

front-channel speakers and the listening posi-

tion compared to the surround speakers and the

listening position, the amount of time it takes

for sound to reach your ears from the front or

surround speakers is different. You may com-

pensate for this difference through the use of

the delay settings to adjust the timing to match

the specific speaker placement and acoustic

conditions in your listening room or home

theater.

The factory setting is appropriate for most

rooms, but some installations create an uncom-

mon distance between the front and surround

speakers that may cause the arrival of front-

channel sounds to become disconnected from

surround-channel sounds.

To resynchronize the front and surround

channels, follow these steps:

1. Measure the distance from the listening/

viewing position to the front speakers.

2. Measure the distance from the listening/

viewing position to the surround speakers.

3. Subtract the distance to the surround speakers

from the distance to the front speakers.

a. When setting the delay time for the Dolby

Digital surround modes, the optimal delay

time is the result of that subtraction. For

example, if the front speakers are ten feet

away and the surround speakers are five

feet away, the optimal delay time is figured

as 10–5=5. Thus, in this example, the delay

time for Dolby Digital should be set at five

milliseconds.

b. When setting the delay time for the

Pro Logic mode, take the result of the sub-

traction and add 15 to obtain the optimal

delay time. For example, if the front speak-

ers are ten feet away and the surround

speakers are five feet away, the optimal

delay time is figured as 10–5+15=20. Thus,

in this example, the Pro Logic delay should

be set at twenty milliseconds.

NOTE: The Theater and Hall modes use a fixed,

nonadjustable delay time.

The Dolby Digital mode also includes a separate

setting for the center-channel delay mode, since

the discrete nature of these signals makes the

location of the center-channel speaker more

critical. To calculate the delay for the center

channel, measure the distance from the

preferred listening position in the center of

the room to both the center-channel speaker

and either the left or right speaker.

If the distances are equal, no further adjustment

is required and the center delay should be set to

zero. If the distance to the front speakers is

greater than the distance to the center speaker,

you may wish to reposition the speakers by

moving the front-left and front-right speakers

closer to the listening position or the center

speaker further away from the listening

position.

If repositioning of the speakers is not possible,

adjust the center delay time, adding one

millisecond of center-channel delay for every

foot closer to the listening position the center

speaker is than the front speakers. For example,

if the front-left and front-right speakers are each

10 feet from the listening position and the

center-channel speaker is 8 feet away, the delay

is figured as 10–8=2, suggesting an optimal

center delay of 2 milliseconds.

To set the delay times, follow these steps:

1. Put the DCR600 in the Dolby Pro Logic mode

by pressing the Surround Mode Selector 7

on the front panel or by pressing the

Surround Mode Selector t on the

remote, until PRO LOGIC appears in

the Main Information Display W and the

PRO LOGIC Indicator F lights up.

2. Press the Delay Button

Ò on the

remote or front panel. The words S DELAY

TIME will appear in the Main Information

Display W.

3. Press the Set Button

4. Adjust the delay time by pressing the

⁄

Buttons y on the remote or the

Selector Buttons 5 on the front panel until

the delay time figure calculated using the

formula entered above appears in the display.

5. If only analog sources will be used, no adjust-

ment is needed for the center-channel delay.

In that case, press the Set Button

Ô to

enter the surround delay settings into the

DCR600’s memory. However, if you will be

using digital sources and the calculations out-

lined above indicate that the center-channel

delay requires an adjustment, continue with

the following steps.

6. Before setting the center-channel delay time,

make certain that a digital source such as the

DVD600 has been selected. If a digital source

is playing, COAXIAL E or OPTICAL B will

appear in the Main Information Display

Ú. If a digital source is already connected and

playing, press the Delay Button  and

then the

⁄

Buttons on the remote

y or the front panel Selector Buttons

5 until the words C DELAY TIME

appear in the Main Information Display W

and proceed to Step 10. If a digital source is

not playing, follow Steps 7 through 10.

7. Press the Set Button

8. Select the Dolby Digital mode either by press-

ing the front panel Surround Mode Selector

7 or by pressing the Surround Mode

Selector t on the remote until

DOLBY DIG appears in the Main

Information Display W.

9. Press the Delay Button  on the

remote or front panel. The words

setting into the DCR600’s memory.

REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS

The JBL Cinema ProPack 600 is equipped with a

powerful remote control that will control the

functions of not only the DCR600 receiver and

DVD600 DVD changer, but also most popular

brands of audio and video equipment, including

CD players, cassette decks, TV sets, cable boxes,

VCRs, satellite receivers and other home-theater

equipment. Once the remote is programmed

with the codes for the products you own, it is

possible to eliminate most other remotes and

replace them with the convenience of a single,

universal remote control.

Programming the Remote

As shipped from the factory, the remote is fully

programmed for all DCR600, DVD600 and

JBL BassQ

™

digital bass correction functions. In

addition, by following one of the methods below,

you may program the remote to operate a wide

range of devices from other manufacturers.

We suggest that you refrain from reprogramming

the main, DVD and VID 4 functions. Should you

reprogram them inadvertently, you may reprogram

each of these buttons individually to code 001 to

reset it without disturbing other functions pro-

grammed into the remote.

Entering Product Codes

This method is the easiest way to program your

remote to work with different products.

1. Use the tables on pages 27 to 36 to determine

the three-digit code or codes that match both

the product type (e.g., VCR, TV) and the

specific brand name. If there is more than one

number for a brand, make note of the differ-

ent choices.

2. Turn on the unit you wish to program into the

remote.

3. Press and hold both the Input Selector

i–n for the product you wish to control

(e.g., VCR, TV) and the Mute Button c at

the same time. When the Program

Indicator lights and begins flashing, release

the buttons. The light under the Input

Selector key will appear. It is important that

you begin the next step within 20 seconds.

4. Point the remote towards the unit to be

programmed, and enter the first three-digit

code number using the Numeric Keys

–

. If the unit turns off, the

correct code has been entered. Press the Input

Selector i–n again, and note that the

red light will flash three times before going dark

to confirm the entry.

5. If the device to be programmed in does NOT

turn off, continue to enter three-digit code

numbers until the equipment turns off. At this

point, the correct code has been entered.

Press the Input Selector i–n again

and note that the red light under the Input

Selector will flash three times before going

dark to confirm the entry.

6. Try all of the functions on the remote to make

certain that the product operates properly.

Keep in mind that many manufacturers use a

number of different combinations of codes, so

it is a good idea to make certain that not only

the power control, but the volume, channel

and transport controls work as they should. If

all functions do not work properly, you may

need to use a different remote code.

7. If a code cannot be entered to turn the unit

off, if the code for your product does not

appear in the tables in this manual, or if not

all functions operate properly, try program-

ming the remote with the Auto Search

Method.

Auto-Searching for Product Codes

If the unit you wish to include in the remote is

not listed in the code tables in this manual or if

the code does not seem to operate properly, you

may wish to program the correct code using the

Auto Search method that follows:

1. Turn on the unit that you wish to include in

the remote.

2. Press the Input Selector i–n for the

type of product to be entered (e.g., VCR, TV)

and the Mute Button c at the same time.

Hold both buttons until the red light under the

Input Selector i–n stays lit. Note

that the next step must take place while

the red light is on, and it must begin within

20 seconds after the light appears.

3. Point the remote towards the unit to be

programmed, and press either the

⁄

Button y . Each press will send out a

series of codes from the remote’s built-in data-

base. When the unit being programmed turns

off, release the

⁄

Button y , as

that is your indication that the correct code

is in use.

4. Press the Input Selector i–n, and note

that the red light under the Input Selector will

flash three times before going dark to confirm

the entry.

5. Try all of the functions on the remote to make

certain that the product operates. Keep in

mind that many manufacturers use a number

of different combinations of codes, and it is a

good idea to make certain that not only the

power control works, but also that the

volume, channel and transport controls

operate, as appropriate. If all functions do not

work properly, you may need to Auto-Search

for a different code, or enter a code via the

Direct Code Entry method.

Reading Back the

Programmed Code

When the code has been entered using the Auto

Search method, it is always a good idea to find

out the exact code so that it may be easily reen-

tered if necessary. You may also read the codes

to verify which device has been programmed to

a specific Control Selector button.

1. Press and hold both the Input Selector

i–n for the device for which you wish

to find the code and the Mute Button c

at the same time. Note that the Program

Indicator will light. Release the buttons and

begin the next step within 20 seconds.

2. Press the Set Button . The Program

Indicator will then blink in a sequence that

corresponds to the three-digit code, with a one-

second pause between each digit. Count the

number of blinks between each pause to deter-

mine the digit of the code. One blink is the

number 1, two blinks is the number 2, and so

forth. Ten blinks are used to indicate a “0.”

Example: One blink, followed by a one-second

pause, followed by six blinks, followed by a

one-second pause, followed by ten blinks indi-

cates that the code has been set to 160.

Remote Control Functions (Continued)

Programming Macros

Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently

used combinations of commands with the press

of a single button on the remote control. Once

programmed, a macro will send out up to 19

different remote codes in a predetermined

sequential order, enabling you to automate the

process of turning on your system, changing

devices, or other common tasks. The remote can

store up to three separate macro command

sequences: one that is associated with the Power

On Button b, and two more that are

accessed by pressing the Macro Buttons

fg.

The DCR600 remote also features two pre-

programmed functions, ALL OFF u and ALL

ON v, that turn all eight programmed devices

off or on when the appropriate key is pressed.

1. Press the Mute Button c and the Macro

Buttons fg to be programmed or the

Power On Button b at the same time.

Note that an Input Selector d,h–o

will light red, and the Program Indicator

will flash.

2. Enter the steps for the macro sequence by

pressing the button for the actual command

step. Although the macro may contain up to

19 steps, each button press, including those

used to change devices, counts as a step.

The Program Indicator will flash to confirm

each button press as you enter commands.

NOTE: While entering commands for Power

On/Off of any device during a macro sequence,

press the Mute Button c. DO NOT press the

actual Power button.

3. When all the steps have been entered,

press the Sleep Button p to enter the

commands. The red light under the Input

Selectors d,h–o will blink and then

turn off.

Example: To program the Macro 1 button so

that it turns on only the DCR600, TV and a

Cable Box, follow these steps:

• Press the Macro 1 f and Mute c

buttons at the same time and then

release them.

• Note that the Program Indicator will

flash.

• Press the MAIN Selector h.

Remote Control Functions (Continued)

• Press the Mute Button c to store the

DCR600’s Power On command.

• Press the VID 2 Input Selector Button

m to indicate the next command is for

“TV Power On.”

• Press the Mute Button c to store the

TV Power On command.

• Press the VID 3 Input Selector Button

n to indicate the next command is for

“Cable Power On.”

• Press the Mute Button c to store the

Cable Power On command.

• Press the Sleep Button p to complete

the process and store the macro sequence.

After following these steps, each time you

press the Macro 1 Button f, the remote

will send the Power On/Off command to only

those devices.

Erasing Macro Commands

To remove the commands that have been pro-

grammed into one of the Macro buttons, follow

these steps:

1. Press the Mute Button c and the Macro

Buttons bfg that contain the

commands you wish to erase.

2. Note that the Program Indicator will flash,

and the LED under the MAIN Selector h

will turn red.

3. Within ten seconds, press the Surround

Mode Selector Button t.

4. The red LED under the MAIN Selector h

will go out, and the Program Indicator will

flash three times before it goes out.

5. When the Program Indicator goes out,

the Macro has been erased.

Device Functions

Once the remote has been programmed for the

codes of other devices, press the appropriate Input

Selector i–o to change the remote from

controlling the DCR600 and DVD600 to controlling

the additional product. When you press any one

of the selectors, it will briefly flash in red to indi-

cate that you have changed the device being

controlled.

When operating a device other than the

DCR600 or DVD600, the controls may not

correspond exactly to the function printed on

the remote or button. Some commands, such as

the volume control, are the same as they are

with the DCR600. Other buttons will change

their function so that they correspond to a sec-

ondary label on the remote. For example, the

Sleep p and Surround Mode Selector t

buttons also function as the Channel Up and

Channel Down buttons when operating most TV

sets, VCRs or cable boxes. The Channel

Up/Down indication is printed directly on the

remote. For many standard CD players, cassette

decks, VCRs and DVD functions, the standard

function icons are printed on top of the buttons.

For some products, however, the function of a

particular button does not follow the command

printed on the remote. In order to see which

function a button controls, consult the Function

List tables printed on pages 25 and 26. To use

those tables, first check the type of device being

controlled (e.g., TV, VCR). Next, look at the

remote control diagram. Note that each button

has a number on it.

To find out what function a particular button has

for a specific device, find the button number on

the Function List and then look in the column for

the device you are controlling. For example,

button number 7 is the Macro 2 button for the

DCR600, but it is the Replay button for CD

players and receivers. Button number 32 is the

Delay button for the DCR600, but the + Time

button for CD players, and Preview Channel

button for many TVs, cable television boxes amd

satellite services.

Notes on Using the Remote

With Other Devices

• Manufacturers may use different code sets for

the same product category. For that reason, it

is important that you check to see whether the

code set you have entered operates as many

controls as possible. If it appears that only a

few functions operate, check to see whether

another code set will work with more buttons.

• When a button is pressed on the remote,

the red light under the Input Selector

d,h–o for the product being operated

should flash briefly. If the Device Control

Selector flashes for some but not all buttons

for a particular product, it does NOT indicate

a problem with the remote but rather that no

function is programmed for the button being

pushed. Consult the Function List on pages 25

and 26. Blank squares indicate that no function

is programmed for that button for the corre-

sponding device. The word “unknown” indi-

cates that the button sends an IR signal to

the device but its function depends on the

device‘s programming, and the device may

not be programmed to respond at all to that

button. Consult the device‘s owner‘s manual.

Volume Punch-Through

The remote may be programmed to operate the

Volume Control sw and Mute c func-

tions of either the TV or the DCR600 in conjunc-

tion with any of the devices controlled by the

remote. For example, since the DCR600 will likely

be used as the sound system for TV viewing,

you may wish to have the DCR600’s volume acti-

vated, although the remote is set to run the TV.

Either the DCR600 or TV volume control may be

associated with any of the remote’s devices. To

program the remote for Volume Punch-Through,

follow these steps:

1. Press the Input Selector i–o for the

unit you wish to have associated with the

volume control and the Mute Button c at

the same time until the red light appears under

the Input Selector i–o and note that

the Program Indicator will flash.

2. Press the Volume Up Button s and note

that the Program Indicator will stop flashing

and stay lit.

3. Press either the MAIN Selector h or the

Input Selector i–o, depending on

which system’s volume control you wish to

have attached for the punch-through mode.

The Program Indicator will blink three times

and then go out to confirm the data entry.

Example: To have the DCR600’s volume

control activated even though the remote is

set to control the TV, first press the Video/TV

Input Selector m and the Mute Button

c at the same time. Next, press the

Volume Up Button s, followed by the

MAIN Selector h.

NOTE: Should you wish to return the remote to

the original configuration after entering a Volume

Punch-Through, you will need to repeat the steps

shown above. However, press the same Input

Selector in Steps 1 and 3.

Remote Control Functions (Continued)

Channel Control Punch-Through

The remote may be programmed to operate so

that the channel control function for either the

TV, cable or satellite receiver used in your system

may be used in conjunction with one of the other

devices controlled by the remote. For example,

while using and controlling the VCR, you may

wish to change channels on a cable box or satel-

lite receiver without having to change the device

selected by the DCR600 or the remote. To pro-

gram the remote for Channel Control Punch-

Through, follow these steps:

1. Press the Input Selector Button i–o

for the device with which you wish to have the

channel control associated and the Mute

Button c at the same time until the red

light appears under the Input Selector

i–o

and the Program Indicator flashes.

2. Press the Volume Down Button w. The

Program Indicator will stop flashing and

stay lit.

3. Press and release the Input Selector Button

i–o for the device that will be used to

change the channels. The Program Indicator

will blink three times and then go out to con-

firm the data entry.

Example: To control the channels using your

cable box or satellite receiver while the

remote is set to control the VCR, first press the

VID 1/VCR Input Selector Button m and

the Mute Button c at the same time. Next,

release them and press the Volume Down

Button w, followed by the VID 3/

CATV/SAT Input Selector Button n.

NOTE: To remove the Channel Control Punch-

Through and return the remote to its original con-

figuration, repeat the steps shown in the exam-

ple above. However, press the VID 1/VCR Input

Selector m in Steps 1 and 3.

Transport Control Punch-Through

The remote may be programmed to operate so

that the Transport Control – functions

(Play, Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind, Pause and

Record) for a VCR, DVD or CD will operate in con-

junction with one of the other devices controlled

by the remote. For example, while using and con-

trolling the TV, you may wish to start or stop your

VCR or DVD without having to change the device

selected by the DCR600 or the remote. To

program the remote for Transport Control Punch-

Through, follow these steps:

1. Press the Input Selector i–o for the

device with which you wish to have the chan-

nel control associated and the Mute Button

c at the same time until the red light

appears under the Input Selector i–o

and the Program Indicator flashes.

2. Press the Play Button . The Program

Indicator will stop flashing and stay lit.

3. Press and release the Input Selector Button

i–o for the device that will be used to

change the channels. The Program Indicator

will blink three times and then go out to con-

firm the data entry.

Example: To control the transport of a DVD

player while the remote is set to control the

TV, first press the VID 2/TV Input Selector

Button m and the Mute Button c at the

same time. Next, release them and press the

Play Button , followed by the DVD

Input Selector Button d.

NOTE: To remove the Channel Control Punch-

Through and return the remote to its original con-

figuration, repeat the steps shown in the exam-

ple above. However, press the VID 2/TV Input

Selector m in Steps 1 and 3.

NOTE: Before programming the remote for

Volume, Channel or Transport Punch-Through,

make certain that any programming needed to

assign the remote to control the specific TV, CD,

DVD, cable or satellite receivers has been

completed.

Reassigning Devices

Although each Input Selector i–n is

normally assigned to the category of product

shown on the remote, it is possible to reassign

one of these buttons to operate a second device

of another type. For example, if you have two

VCRs but no satellite receiver, you may program

the “SAT” button to operate a second VCR.

Before following the normal programming steps

for either three-digit entry or Auto Search code

entry, you must first reassign the button with the

following steps:

1. Press the Input Selector i–n you wish

to reassign and the Mute Button c at the

same time until the red light appears under

the Input Selector i–n and the

Program Indicator flashes.

2. Press the Input Selector i–n for the

device you wish to program into the

reassigned button.

3. Enter the three-digit code for the specific

model you wish the reassigned button to

operate.

4. Press the same Input Selector i–n

pressed in Step 1 once again to store the

selection. The red LED under the reassigned

Input Selector will flash three times and then

go out.

Example: To use the CBL/SAT button to

operate a second VCR, first press the

CBL/SAT Input Selector n and the Mute

Button c at the same time until the red

light glows under the CBL/SAT n button.

Press the VCR l button, followed by the

three-digit code for the specific model you

wish to control. Finally, press the CBL/SAT

n button again.

Resetting the Remote Memory

As you add components to your home-theater

system, occasionally you may wish to totally

reprogram the remote control without the confu-

sion of any commands, macros or ”Punch-

Through“ programming that you may have done.

To do this, it is possible to reset the remote to

the original factory defaults and command codes

by following these steps. Note, however, that

once the remote is reset, all commands or codes

that you have entered will be erased and will

need to be reentered:

1. Press any of the Input Selector Button t

h,i–o and the ”O“ Button at

the same time until the Program Indicator

begins to flash.

2. Press the ”3“ Button three times.

3. The red LED under the Input Selector

h,i–o will go out and the Program

Indicator will stop flashing and stay lit.

4. The Program Indicator will remain lit until

the remote is reset. Note that this may take

a while, depending on how many commands

are in the memory and need to be erased.

5. When the Program Indicator goes out, the

remote has been reset to the factory

settings.

CONFIGURING THE DVD600 DVD CHANGER

DVD Compatibility & Terminology

The DVD600 is more than a DVD player;

it will play the following disc formats:

•

Both 5-inch (12cm) and 3-inch (8cm) discs

•

CD audio discs

•

DTS audio discs

•

CD-RW audio discs

•

DVD movie discs

•

VCD (video CD) discs

However, it will NOT play the following:

•

DVD discs with a Region Code other than

the one for which the player is set

•

DVD discs with PAL format video

•

DVD-ROM data discs

•

DVD-RAM discs

•

CD-R discs

•

CD-I discs

•

CD-G discs

•

SVCD discs

•

Photo CD discs

•

MP3 audio discs

NOTE: Due to differences in the format of

certain discs, it is possible that some discs may

include a mix of features that are not compati-

ble with the DVD600. Similarly, although the

DVD600 is capable of a wide range of features,

not all discs include every capability of the

DVD system. For example, although the

DVD600 is compatible with multi-angle discs,

that feature is only possible when the disc is

specially encoded for multiple-angle play. In

addition, the DVD600 is capable of playing back

both Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks, but the

number and types of tracks available will vary

from disc to disc. To make certain that a specific

feature or soundtrack option is available, please

check the options noted on the disc jacket.

•

Playback of DTS audio discs requires

connection to a processor or receiver with

a DTS decoder, such as the DCR600.

•

Playback capability for CD-RW discs may vary

due to variations in the quality of the CD-RW

disc and the recorder used to create the disc.

Since they share some of the characteristics and

technology of CD players, many of the terms

and operational concepts used in a DVD player

are similar to what you may be familiar with

from CD players and changers, or older video

disc formats such as Laser Disc. However, if this

is your first DVD product, some of the terms

used to describe the features of a DVD player

may be unfamiliar. The following explanations

should solve some of the mysteries of DVD, and

help you to enjoy all the power and flexibility of

the DVD format and the DVD.

Aspect Ratio: This is a description of the width

of a video image in relation to its height. A con-

ventional video screen is four units wide for

every three units of height, making it almost

square. Newer, wide aspect ratio video displays

are 16 units wide for every nine units of height,

making them more like the screen in a movie

theater. The program material on a DVD may be

recorded in either format and, in addition, you

may configure the DVD to play back in either

format, depending on the features recorded

on a disc.

Chapter: DVD programs are divided into chap-

ters and titles. Chapters are the subsections

programmed into a single title on a disc.

Chapters may be compared to the individual

tracks on an audio CD. Press the Menu button to

see a listing of the chapters on a disc.

Component Video: This is a new form of video

signal which eliminates many of the artifacts of

traditional composite-video signals by splitting

the signal into a separate luminance channel

and two color-difference signals. With a

component-video connection, you will see

greater picture resolution and eliminate many

picture imperfections, such as the moiré pat-

terns often seen on checked patterned cloths.

However, in order to benefit from component

video, you must have a video display with

Y/Pr/Pb component-video inputs. Do not connect

the component-video outputs of the DVD600

to the standard composite or S-Video inputs of

a TV or recorder.

Title: For a DVD, a title is defined as an entire

movie or program. There may be as many chap-

ters within a title as the producers decide to

include. Most discs include only one title, but

some may have more than one, to give you a

“Double Feature” presentation. Press the Title

button to see a listing of the titles on a disc.

When a disc has only one title, pressing the title

button may show a list of the chapters.

Multiple Angle: DVDs have the capability to

show up to four different views of the same

scene in a program. When a disc is encoded

with multiple-angle information, pressing the

Angle button will enable you to switch between

these different views. Note that, at present,

few discs take advantage of this capability and,

when they do, the multiple-angle technology

may only be present for short periods of time

within the disc. Producers will usually insert

some sort of icon or graphic in the picture to

alert you to the availability of multiple-angle

scenes.

Reading: This is a message that you will see

when you first press the Play button. It refers

to the fact that the player must first examine

the contents of the disc to see whether it is a

CD or DVD, and then extract the information

about the type of material on the disc, such as

languages, aspect ratios, subtitles, number of

titles and more. The slight delay while the con-

tents of the disc are read is normal.

Resume: The operation of the Stop button on

the DVD600 works differently from what you are

used to on CD or CD players. On a traditional CD

player, when you press the Stop button, the unit

does just that: it stops playback. On a CD player,

when you press the Start button again, the disc

starts from the beginning. With the DVD600,

however, you have two options when playing

DVD discs. Pressing Stop once will stop the

playback, but it actually puts the unit in the

Resume mode. This means that you can turn the

machine off and, when you press play the next

time, the disc will resume or continue from the

point on the disc where the Stop button was

pressed. This is helpful if you are watching a

movie and must interrupt your viewing session

but wish to pick up where you left off. Pressing

the Stop button twice will stop the machine in a

traditional manner and, when the disc is played

again, it will start from the beginning.

The DVD600 is turned on in two steps. First,

press the Power Switch on the front

panel until it latches and the Status Indicator

lights. Then, either press the Open/Close

Button or Play Button on the front

panel, or use the remote control to select DVD

d and turn on the unit b.

Parental Lock and Passwords

The DVD600 enables you to control the discs

that are viewed by setting a ratings level. When

a disc that’s ready to play has a rating level

greater than the default, it will not play. To

further protect against unauthorized viewing of

restricted discs, the ratings-level option may be

locked so that only authorized persons (such as

a parent) may change the rating level after a

password is entered.

The ratings system is dependent on information

encoded into the DVD disc being played so,

although most movies will carry an MPAA or

other rating symbol, the disc may or may not

contain that rating in its software. In addition to

the five MPAA ratings of G, PG, PG-13, R and

NC-17, the DVD600 will accommodate a total of

eight ratings steps, as set by the creators of the

DVD format. These additional steps allow for

more critical control of program playback for all

audiences.

To select the permitted ratings values, you must

be viewing the Setup Menu (Figure 1), which is

available by pressing the Menu Button z

while the unit is in the Stop mode. At the Setup

Menu, press the

Button until the

Ratings option is highlighted.

To change the default Ratings setting, press the

Configuring the DVD600 DVD Changer (Continued)

Setting the Aspect Ratio

The aspect ratio of a television picture is the

relationship between its width and height, and

it defines the shape of the picture. Television

sets have traditionally had an aspect ratio of

4 x3, which is to say that they are almost

square, with slightly more width than height.

Almost all television programming is presented

in the 4 x3 aspect ratio so that the pictures fit

within the confines of the TV screen.

Movies, on the other hand, have a variety of

what are known as “wide aspect ratio” formats

that are significantly wider in relation to their

height than traditional television pictures.

Indeed, the development of wide-screen movies

was something that was popularized in the

1950’s in response to the success of television;

movie producers wanted to provide a wider

vista than afforded by TVs.

However, since many movies are produced for a

wider screen than the TV set they are played on,

a problem arises that is like fitting a square peg

into a round hole. In many instances this is

taken care of by the disc’s producers, who refor-

mat the image to fit within a standard 4 x3 TV

screen. Discs such as this require no special

setting. The only downside to this is that when

wide-screen movies are converted to 4 x3,

some of the information at the sides of a scene

may be cut off due to the difference in picture

shape. This is also called a “pan and scan”

presentation, as a 4 x3 viewing area is moved

across the wider cinema image.

Other discs are produced in what is called a

“letterbox wide-screen” format. In this case, the

entire wide image is fit inside the 4 x 3 screen

shape from side to side. This means that you

see the entire picture as the movie’s director

intended, but the height of the picture is

reduced to accommodate the added width. The

blank areas that appear at the top and bottom

of the screen make the image in the center

appear as if you are looking through a mail slot,

giving this sort of presentation the nickname of

“letterbox.”

The DVD format accommodates both of these

formats, though it is up to the producer of the

disc to select which way to convert the movie to

video. Sometimes you will have a choice of only

one of the two formats, while some discs offer

a full screen, with the pan-and-scan version on

one side of a disc and the widescreen, but

letterbox version, on the other side.

The DVD600 will play either type of disc, and

you may select a default that tells which way to

present the image when there is a choice.

To select an aspect ratio default, you must be

viewing the Setup Menu (Figure 1), which is

available by pressing the Menu Button z

while the unit is in the Stop mode. At the Setup

Menu, press the

Button until the

Aspect Ratio option is highlighted. Next, press

the Enter Button . Select one of the three

choices in the options box (Figure 13) using the

⁄

Buttons y .

Figure 13

Depending on the type of television set you

have, choose one of these three options:

•

4 x 3 Letterbox: Choose this setting if you

have a standard 4 x 3 television set and

prefer to see movies in their original aspect

ratio. You will see the entire movie but, when

it is presented in a letterbox fashion, there

will be black bars at the top and bottom of

the screen. Movies or other programs recorded

in a 4 x 3 format will appear normal.

•

4 x 3 Pan and Scan: Choose this setting if you

have a standard 4 x 3 television set and

always want the image to fill the entire

screen. When a wide screen movie is shown,

you may not see parts of the picture at one

side of the screen or the other. Note, how-

ever, that even when you select this option,

playing a wide-screen-only movie will result

in black letterbox bars at the top and bottom

of the screen. This is due to the way the disc

was produced, and it cannot be changed.

•

16 x 9 Wide-Screen: Choose this setting only

if you have a wide-screen television set

(16 x9 aspect ratio). With this setting, the

DVD600 will adjust the output for wide-screen

movies so that they fill the entire screen in

the proper aspect ratio. Note, however, that

in this setting a disc recorded in the 4 x3

aspect ratio will appear in the wide-screen

as a boxed image in the center, with black

columns on the left and right side of the screen.

NOTE: If the wide-screen option is chosen

and a wide-screen movie is played on a conven-

tional 4 x3 aspect ratio set, the image will be

distorted due to vertical compression.

When you have made your selection using the

⁄

Buttons y to highlight the desired

option, press the Enter Button and note

that the circle next to your choice will fill in. The

menu system will then automatically return to

the status listing.

If you have no other changes to make after set-

ting this default, press the Menu Button z

to remove the Setup Menu from the screen, or

press the Play Button to begin or

resume playback.

Setting the Dynamic Range

With the DVD format you have the opportunity

to hear a program’s soundtrack in the most

accurate and realistic presentation possible,

thanks to the use of digital audio technology.

However, in certain instances you may wish to

slightly compress the dynamic range of the audio

output (the difference between the loudest

sounds and the quietest ones) so that you may

listen to a movie at a lower volume that does not

disturb others without losing dialog intelligibility.

In most cases, it is desirable to leave the

Dynamic Range setting at “OFF” so that no com-

pression is applied to the audio, but if you wish

to change to a compressed setting, follow these

steps:

First, you must be viewing the Setup Menu

(Figure 1), which is available by pressing the

Menu Button z while the unit is in the

Stop mode. At the Setup Menu, press the

Button until the Dynamic Range option

is highlighted. Next, press the Enter Button

and select one of the two choices in the

options box using the

⁄

Buttons y

(Figure 14). The choices are as follows:

•

Off: Select this option to turn off the Dynamic

Range compression and have the soundtrack

presented exactly as it was authored.

•

On: Select this option to turn on the

Dynamic Range compression circuitry so

that the dialog will remain clear even at

low volume levels.

Note that the performance of the Dynamic

Range function is dependent on the audio

format of the disc being played, and whether

or not the disc’s soundtrack is capable of this

feature.

Using the Digital Audio Output

DVD players accommodate a variety of audio

formats, including Dolby Digital, DTS and the

PCM audio format used by conventional CD

discs and some DVD playback. The DCR600

receiver can automatically detect any of these

digital formats. Depending on the format of the

discs in your library, you need to set a default

for the type of audio outputs accommodated.

Although the DVD600 will play all of these disc

types, this setting creates a default that tells

which way to present the soundtracks when

there is a choice.

To select a Digital Audio Output default, you

must be viewing the Setup Menu (Figure 1),

which is available by pressing the Menu

Button z while the unit is in the Stop mode.

At the Setup Menu, press the

Button

until the Digital Audio Out option is highlighted.

Next, press the Enter Button . Select one

of the three choices in the options box (Figure

15) using the

⁄

Buttons y . The

choices are as follows:

•

PCM: Choose this setting if most of your

library consists of conventional CDs.

•

Dolby Digital: Choose this setting only if

you do not plan on listening to any DTS selec-

tions. Should you choose to watch a DVD

movie or listen to a CD which has a DTS

audio track, you must return to this menu and

change this selection to DTS.

•

DTS: We recommend that you choose this

setting, since the DCR600 receiver included

with your system is capable of automatically

detecting and decoding any of the three

formats of DTS, Dolby Digital and PCM.

Figure 15

NOTE: If you select the DTS option, your

receiver or processor MUST be capable of

decoding DTS audio. If the DTS option is chosen

and the unit is connected to a product that can-

not support DTS, no audio will be heard when a

DTS disc is played.

Remember, regardless of the option chosen, you

may still have to adjust the settings on your

DVD disc or audio equipment, if you do not use

the DCR600, to match the output of the

DVD600. In addition, the choice of which audio

formats are available is limited by the type

of material recorded on the disc when it was

authored.

When you have made your selection using the

MODE FEATURES DELAY TIME RANGE

DOLBY DIGITAL Available only with digital input sources encoded with Dolby Digital data. It provides Center: 0 ms –5 ms

up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated Low-Frequency Effects Initial Setting – 0 ms

channel. Surround: 0 ms –15 ms

Initial Setting – 0 ms

DTS Available only with digital input sources encoded with DTS data. Available on special Delay time not adjustable

DVD, LD and audio-only discs, DTS provides up to five separate main audio channels and

a special dedicated low-frequency channel.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC The standard mode for analog surround-sound decoding. It uses information encoded 15 ms – 30 ms

in a two-channel stereo recording to produce four distinct outputs: Left, Center, Right and Initial Setting = 15 ms

a Mono Surround channel. Use this mode for accurate reproduction of programs bearing

the Dolby Surround, DTS Stereo, UltraStereo

or other “Surround” logos. Surround-encoded

programs include videocassette, DVD and LD movies, TV and cable programs, radio

programs and audio CDs. Dolby Pro Logic processing may also be used to provide a

pleasing surround effect with some stereophonic source material that does not carry

surround encoding.

LOGIC 7 C Logic 7 is an advanced mode that extracts the maximum surround information from either Delay time not adjustable

LOGIC 7 M surround-encoded programs or conventional stereo material. The Logic 7 C, or Cinema, mode

should be used with any source that contains Dolby Surround or similar matrix encoding.

Logic 7 C delivers increased center-channel intelligibility, and more accurate placement of sounds

with fades and pans that are much smoother and more realistic than with other decoding

techniques. The Logic 7 M, or Music, mode should be used with analog or PCM stereo sources.

Logic 7 M enhances the listening experience by presenting a wider front soundstage and greater

rear ambience. Both Logic 7 modes also direct low-frequency information to the subwoofer

(if installed and configured) to deliver maximum bass impact.

DOLBY 3 STEREO Uses the information contained in a surround-encoded or two-channel stereo program to No surround channels

create center-channel information. In addition, the information that is normally sent to the

rear-channel surround speakers is carefully mixed in with the front-left and front-right

channels for increased realism. Use this mode when you have a center-channel speaker

but no surround speakers.

THEATER Surround processing uses matrix surround decoding to simulate a standard movie or Delay time not adjustable

stage theater.

HALL 1 The Hall mode offers a matrix surround choice that simulates a medium-sized chamber hall. Delay time not adjustable

VMAx Near When only the two front-channel loudspeakers are used, JBL’s patented VMAx mode No surround channels

VMAx Far delivers a three-dimensional sound space with the illusion of “phantom speakers” at the

center and surround positions. The VMAx N, or Near Field, mode should be selected when

your listening position is less than five feet from the speakers. The VMAx F, or Far Field, mode

should be selected when your listening position is greater than five feet from the speakers.

5-Channel Stereo This mode takes advantage of multiple speakers to place a stereo signal at both the front and No delay is available for

back of a room. Ideal for playing music in situations such as a party, it places the same signal this mode

at the front-left and surround-left, and front-right and surround-right speakers. The center

channel is fed a summed mono mix of the in-phase material of the left and right channels.

SURROUND This mode turns off all surround processing and presents the pure left- and right- No surround channels

OFF (STEREO) channel presentation of two-channel stereo programs.

Operating the DCR600 Receiver (Continued)

Selecting a Surround Mode

One of the most important features of the

DCR600 is its ability to reproduce a full

multichannel, surround-sound field from digital

sources, analog matrix surround-encoded

programs and standard stereo programs. In all,

a total of twelve listening modes are available

on the DCR600.

Selection of a surround mode is based on personal

taste, as well as the type of program source

material being used. For example, motion pictures

or TV programs bearing the logo of one of the

major surround-encoding processes, such as

Dolby Surround, DTS Stereo or UltraStereo may

be played in either the Dolby Digital, Dolby

Pro Logic or Logic 7 Cinema surround modes

depending on the source material.

NOTE: Once a program has been encoded with

matrix surround information, it retains the

surround information as long as the program is

broadcast in stereo. Thus, movies with surround

sound may be decoded via any of the analog

surround modes such as Pro Logic or Logic 7,

when they are broadcast via conventional TV

stations, cable, pay-TV and satellite transmission.

In addition, a growing number of made-for-television

programs, sports broadcasts, radio dramas and

music CDs are also recorded in surround sound.

You may view a list of these programs at the

Dolby Laboratories Web site at www.dolby.com.

Even when a program is not listed as carrying

intentional surround information, you may find

that the Pro Logic, Logic 7, VMAx and the Hall or

Theater modes often deliver enveloping surround

presentations through the use of the natural

information present in all stereo recordings.

However, for stereo, but not surround programs,

we suggest that you experiment with the

other modes.

Surround modes are selected using either the

front panel controls or the remote. To select a

surround mode from the front panel, press the

Surround Mode Selector 7 to scroll up or

down through the list of available modes. To

select a surround mode using the remote, press

the Surround Mode Selectort and then

press the

⁄

Button ty to change

the mode. As you press the buttons, the

Surround mode name will appear in the Main

Information Display W, and an individual

mode indicator will also light up CDFHI

JKLM.

Note that the Dolby Digital and DTS modes may

only be selected when a digital input is in use.

In addition, when a digital source is present, the

DCR600 will automatically select and switch to

the correct mode (Dolby Digital or DTS), regardless

of the mode that has been previously selected.

For more information on selecting digital sources,

see the following section of this manual.

To listen to a program in traditional two-channel

stereo, using the front-left and front-right

speakers only (plus the subwoofer if installed

and configured), follow the instructions shown

above for using the remote until SURR OFF

appears in the Main Information Display W.

Using Digital Sources

Digital audio is a major advancement over older

systems such as Dolby Pro Logic. It delivers five

discrete channels: left-front, center, right-front,

left-surround and right-surround. Each channel

reproduces full frequency range (20Hz to 20kHz)

and offers dramatically improved dynamic range

and significant improvements to signal-to-noise

ratios. In addition, digital systems have the

capability to deliver an additional channel that is

specifically devoted to low-frequency information.

This is the “.1” channel referred to when you see

these systems described as “5.1”. The bass

channel is separate from the other channels, but

since it is intentionally bandwidth-limited, sound

designers have given it that unique designation.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital (originally known as AC-3

) is a

standard part of DVD, and is available on specially

encoded LD discs and satellite broadcasts and is

a part of the new high-definition television (HDTV)

system.

Note that an optional, external RF demodulator

is required to use the DCR600 to listen to the

Dolby Digital soundtracks available on laser

discs. Connect the RF output of the LD player to

the demodulator and then connect the digital

output of the demodulator to the Optical or

Coaxial Inputs ef#$ of the DCR600. No

demodulator is required for use with DVD

players or DTS-encoded laser discs.

DTS

DTS is another digital audio system that is

capable of delivering 5.1 audio. Although both

DTS and Dolby Digital are digital, they use dif-

ferent methods of encoding the signals, and

thus they require different decoding circuits to

convert the digital signals back to analog.

DTS-encoded soundtracks are available on

select DVD and LD discs, as well as on special

audio-only DTS discs. You may use any LD or CD

player equipped with a digital output to play

DTS-encoded discs with the DCR600. All that is

required is to connect the player’s output to

either the Optical or Coaxial Input on the rear

panel ef or front panel #$.

In order to listen to DVDs encoded with DTS

soundtracks, the DVD player must be compatible

with the DTS signal as indicated by a DTS logo

on the player’s front panel. Note that, although

early DVD players may not be able to play DTS-

encoded DVDs, the DVD600 is compatible. This

does not indicate a problem with the DCR600,

as some players cannot pass the DTS signal

through to the digital outputs. If you are in

doubt as to the capability of your DVD player to

handle DTS discs, consult the player’s owner’s

manual.

Selecting a Digital Source

To utilize either digital mode, you must have

properly connected a digital source to the

DCR600. Connect the digital outputs from DVD

players, HDTV receivers, satellite systems or CD

players to the Optical or Coaxial Inputs

ef#$. In order to provide a backup signal

and a source for analog stereo recording, the

analog outputs provided on digital source equip-

ment should also be connected to their appropri-

ate inputs on the DCR600 rear panel (note that

the DCR600 does not offer an analog audio

input for DVD).

When playing a digital source, first select the

input using the remote or front panel controls as

outlined in this manual. Next, select the digital

source by pressing the Digital Input Selector

Button Ú and then using the

⁄

Buttons

on the remote or the Selector

Buttons 5 on the front panel to

choose any of

the OPTICAL or COAXIAL

inputs, as

they appear in the Main Information Display

W, or Source Indicators BE. Note that the

DCR600‘s DVD input is configured at the factory

to default to the COAX 1 digital input. When the

Operating the DCR600 Receiver (Continued)

digital source is playing, the DCR600 will auto-

matically detect whether it is a multichannel

Dolby Digital, DTS source, MP3 or a conventional

PCM signal, which is the standard output from

CD players. A Bitstream Indicator A will

light in the Main Information Display Ú to

confirm that the digital signal is Dolby Digital, DTS

or PCM.

Digital Status Indicators

When a digital source is playing, the DCR600

senses the type of bitstream data that is present.

Using this information, the correct surround

mode will automatically be selected. For example,

DTS bitstreams will cause the unit to switch to

DTS decoding, and Dolby Digital bitstreams will

enable Dolby Digital decoding. When the unit

senses PCM data from CDs and LDs, it will

allow the appropriate surround sources to be

selected manually. Since the range of available

surround modes is dependent on the type of

digital data that is present, the DCR600 uses a

variety of indicators to let you know what type

of signal is present. This will help you to

understand the choice of modes.

When a digital source is playing, a Bitstream

Indicator A will light to show which type of

signal is playing:

DOLBY D: When the DOLBY D indicator lights,

a Dolby Digital bitstream is being received.

Depending on the settings on the source player

and specific surround information and number of

channels on the disc, a number of surround

modes are possible. For discs with full 5.1

audio, only the Dolby Digital and VMAx modes

are available. When the Dolby Digital signal is

only two-channel, you may also select from the

Logic 7 Cinema/Music, Hall, Theater, Dolby

Pro Logic or Dolby 3 Stereo modes.

DTS: When the DTS indicator lights, a DTS

bitstream is being received. When the unit senses

this type of data, only the DTS mode may be used.

PCM: When the PCM indicator lights, a standard

Pulse Code Modulation, or PCM, signal is being

received. This is the type of digital audio used

by conventional compact disc and laser disc

recordings. When a PCM bitstream is present, all

modes except Dolby Digital and DTS are available.

MP3: When the MP3 indicator lights, a com-

patible MPEG 1/Layer 3 digital signal is being

received. This is the popular audio format used

by many computer programs for recording com-

pressed audio files. When an MP3 bitstream is

present, the sound will automatically be played

in the Stereo (surround off) mode. The surround

modes are not available during MP3 playback.

MP3 bitstreams can only be received from a

compatible PC sound card with an S/P-DIF

output.

In addition to the bitstream indicators, the

DCR600 features a set of unique channel-input

indicators that tell you how many channels of

digital information are being received and/or

whether the digital signal is interrupted.

These indicators are the L/C/R/LS/RS/LFE let-

ters that are inside the center boxes of the

Speaker/Channel Input Indicators O in the

front panel Main Information Display Ú.

When a standard analog signal is in use, only

the “L” and “R” indicators will light, as analog

signals have only left and right channels,

respectively.

Digital signals, however, may have two, five or

six separate channels, depending on the

program material, the method of transmission

and the way in which it was encoded. When a

digital signal is playing, the letters in these

indicators will light in response to the specific

signal being received. It is important to note

that although Dolby Digital, for example, is

referred to as a “5.1” system, not all Dolby

Digital DVDs or programs are encoded for 5.1.

Thus, it is sometimes normal for a DVD with a

Dolby Digital soundtrack to trigger only the “L”

and “R” indicators.

NOTE: Many DVD discs are recorded with both

“5.1” and “2.0” versions of the same sound-

track. When playing a DVD, always be certain to

check the type of material on the disc. Most discs

show this information in the form of a listing or

icon on the back of the disc jacket. When a disc

does offer multiple soundtrack choices, you may

have to make some adjustments to your DVD

player (usually with the “Audio Select” button or

in a menu screen on the disc) to send a full 5.1

feed to the DCR600. It is also possible for the

type of signal feed to change during the course

of a DVD playback. In some cases, the previews

of special material will only be recorded in 2.0

audio, while the main feature is available in 5.1

audio. As long as your DVD player is set for 6-

channel output, the DCR600 will automatically

sense changes to the bitstream and channel

count and reflect them in these indicators.

The letters used by the Speaker/Channel

Input Indicators O also flash to indicate

when a bitstream has been interrupted. This will

happen when a digital input source is selected

before the playback starts, or when a digital

source such as a DVD is paused. The flashing

indicators remind you that the playback has

stopped due to the absence of a digital signal

and not through any fault of the DCR600. This is

normal, and the digital playback will resume

once the playback is started again.

Night Mode

A special feature of Dolby Digital is the Night

mode, which enables AC-3 input sources to be

played back with full digital intelligibility while

reducing the minimum peak level by

/4 to

/3.

This prevents abruptly loud transitions from dis-

turbing others, without reducing the impact of

the digital source. The Night mode is available

only when Dolby Digital signals with special

data are being played.

The Night mode may be engaged when a Dolby

Digital DVD is playing by pressing the Night

Mode Button on the remote. Next, press

the

⁄

Buttons

to select either the

middle range or full-compression versions of the

Night mode. To turn the Night mode off, press

the

⁄

Buttons

until the message

in the lower third of the video display and the

Main Information Display W reads

D-Range Off. When the Night mode is active,

the Night Mode Indicator N will also light.

IMPORTANT NOTES

ON DIGITAL PLAYBACK:

1. When the digital playback source is stopped,

or in a Pause, Fast Forward or Chapter Search

mode, the digital audio data will momentarily

stop, and the channel position letters inside the

Speaker/Channel Input Indicators O will

flash. This is normal and does not indicate a

problem with either the DCR600 or the source

machine. The DCR600 will return to digital play-

back as soon as the data is available and when

the machine is in a standard play mode.

2. Although the DCR600 will decode virtually all

DVD movies, CDs and HDTV sources, it is possible

that some future digital sources may not be com-

patible with the DCR600.

Operating the DCR600 Receiver (Continued)

3. Note that not all digitally encoded programs

contain full 5.1-channel audio. Consult the pro-

gram guide that accompanies the DVD or laser

disc to determine which type of audio has been

recorded on the disc. The DCR600 will automati-

cally sense the type of digital surround encoding

used and adjust to accommodate it.

4. When a digital source is playing, you may not

be able to select some of the analog surround

modes such as Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby 3, Stereo,

Hall, Theater or Logic 7.

5. When a Dolby Digital or DTS source is playing,

it is not possible to make an analog recording

using the Tape ™ and Video 1 Record Outputs

∞a. However, the digital signals will be passed

through to the Digital Audio Outputs •.

PCM Audio Playback

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is the non-

compressed digital audio system used for compact

discs and laser discs. The digital circuits in the

DCR600 are capable of high-quality digital-to-

analog decoding, and they may be connected

directly to the digital audio output of your CD or

LD player.

Connections may be made to either the rear

panel Optical or Coaxial Inputs ef or the

front panel Digital Inputs #$.

To listen to a PCM digital source, first select the

input for the desired source (e.g., CD). Next press

the Digital Select Button Ú and then

use the

⁄

Buttons

on the remote,

or the Selector Buttons5 on the front panel,

until the desired choice appears in the Main

Information Display W.

When a PCM source is playing, the PCM

Indicator A will light. During PCM playback,

you may select any surround mode except Dolby

Digital or DTS.

Playback from PCM sources may also benefit

from the Logic 7 mode. When playing back a

surround-encoded PCM source, such as an LD or

surround-encoded CD, use the Logic 7 C (or

Cinema) mode. When playing true stereo record-

ings, use the Logic 7 M (or Music) mode for a

wider soundstage and increased rear-channel

ambience.

MP3 Audio Playback

The DCR600 is one of the first A/V receivers to

provide on-board decoding for the MP3 audio

format used by computers and portable audio

devices. In addition, some new CD players are

capable of playing back optical discs that are

recorded with MP3, rather than standard CD

audio information. By offering MP3 decoding,

the DCR600 is able to deliver more precise

conversion of the digital signals to an analog

output, along with the benefits of listening to

the MP3 audio through the DCR600’s high-

current amplifier and the speakers from your

surround system, rather than the smaller

speakers and low-powered amplifiers typically

used with computers.

To take advantage of the DCR600’s MP3 capabil-

ities, simply connect the PCM output of a com-

puter’s sound card or the PCM output of a

portable digital audio device to either the rear

panel Digital Inputs ef or the front panel

Digital Inputs #$. As soon as the digital

signal is available, the MP3 Bitstream

Indicator A will light, and the audio will

begin playing.

NOTES:

•

The DCR600 is only capable of playing

signals in the MP3 (MPEG 1/Layer 3) format.

It is not compatible with other computer

audio codecs.

•

The digital audio input signal may be either

optical or coaxial, but the signal must be in

the PCM format. Direct connection of USB or

serial data outputs is not possible, even

though the signals are in the MP3 format.

If you have any questions about the data

output format from your computer or a sound

card, check with the device’s owner’s manual

or contact the manufacturer’s technical

support area.

Operating the Tuner

The DCR600’s tuner is capable of tuning AM, FM

and FM Stereo broadcast stations. Stations may

be tuned manually, or they may be stored as

favorite station presets and recalled from a

Tape Recording

In normal operation, the audio or video source

selected for listening through the DCR600 is

sent to the record outputs. This means that any

program you are watching or listening to may be

recorded simply by placing machines connected

to the outputs for Tape Outputs ™ or Video 1

Outputs ∞a in the Record mode.

When a digital audio recorder is connected to

the Digital Audio Outputs •, you are able to

record the digital signal using a CD-R, MiniDisc

or other digital recording system.

NOTES:

•

The digital outputs are active only when a

digital signal is present, and they do not

convert an analog input to a digital signal,

or change the format of the digital signal.

In addition, the digital recorder must be

compatible with the output signal. For

example, the PCM digital input from a CD

player may be recorded on a CD-R or

MiniDisc, but Dolby Digital or DTS signals

may not.

is not available for CD discs.

•

When a camera icon appears on the screen,

this is your indication that there is multiple-

angle information on the disc being played.

To change the angle, press the Angle

Button until the desired angle view

appears. An on-screen banner message will

appear to indicate the angle view in use.

NOTE: Playback of discs with 96kHz/24-bit

audio requires the use of circuitry normally used

for other features. Accordingly, Slow Play,

Forward/Reverse Search, Step Advance and

Pause features are not available with these

discs.

Using the DVD Disc’s Menu

One of the unique features of the DVD system is

that it offers a producer the opportunity to include

a wide range of features on a disc, including

multiple-language tracks; subtitles in a variety

of languages; special information such as movie

trailers and cast information; as well as other

custom-tailored information. In addition, produc-

ers may divide a movie or program into chapters

that allow for quick access to specific parts of the

program. These chapters may be accompanied

by thumbnail pictures of a scene from the

specific chapter to help you select the desired

spot on the disc.

When a disc is playing, press the Menu Button

z to pause the playback and display the disc’s

menu. As there are no hard rules about style

and content of DVD menus, the way they

appear on the screen and the information they

contain will vary from one disc to another.

However, the following general rules apply to

most menus:

•

The first menu that appears is the Main

Menu, and you may move through the

options with the

⁄

/‹

› Buttons

y` , as the disc’s programming

allows. The option selected will typically

be highlighted in a certain color or inside

an outline box.

•

To select a highlighted option, which may

either play a portion of the disc or move to

a sub-menu, press the Enter Button

or Play Button .

•

On some discs, when you select the DVD

menu during the playback of a movie, the

disc will return to the point in the program

where the menu was selected by offering a

“Play Movie” option. Press the Enter Button

or Play Button to resume

play. However, not all discs offer this feature,

and selecting the menu while playing a

movie may mean that you will either have to

go back to the beginning of the program or

the start of a chapter. This feature is out of

the control of the DVD600, as it is set by the

disc’s internal programming.

IMPORTANT NOTES

ON DVD PLAYBACK

The DVD600 is capable of all the features and

options covered by the DVD standards.

However, it is up to the producer of a DVD disc

to decide which of those features and functions

are available on any given disc. For that reason,

not all discs will function identically, and some

discs will not have many of the features of the

DVD system. For example, most current DVD

discs do not take advantage of the multiple-

angle feature. When you press a button and the

player displays the “Feature Prohibited” icon

“X”, this is an indication that the disc has not

been programmed for that feature.

In addition, it is common for the producers of

DVD discs to block the use of certain functions

during only some parts of a disc. For example,

many discs prohibit the use of fast-play buttons

or prohibit access to the Chapter Menu display

during the playback of copyright notices, studio

logos, movie credits or trailers. The appearance

of the “Feature Prohibited” icon “X”, or the

inability of certain features to operate when the

disc itself has prohibited them, does not indi-

cate a problem with the DVD600, as these fea-

tures are outside of the unit’s control.

Operating the DVD600 Changer

Using the Menu Bar

The DVD600 is equipped with a powerful on-

screen display system that serves the dual pur-

pose of showing you the current status of the

DVD600 while enabling quick and easy changes

to settings and functions. Depending on

whether a DVD or CD is in use, the menu will

vary to display information that is specific to the

type of disc in play.

Selecting Titles and Chapters

Some discs contain more than one title.

Remember that a disc may contain one title or

two separate program titles, or the disc may use

the Title function to separate the special feature

sections on the disc. The use of titles is optional

with the producer of each DVD disc, as is the

way in which he/she may choose to implement

the feature.

To change the title on those discs using the

Menu Status Bar, follow these steps:

1. During disc playback, press the Status

Button e.

2. If needed, press the

‹

› Buttons `

until the disc icon for the current title, with the

letter “T” underneath it, is highlighted in white

between yellow brackets.

3. Press the Enter Button .

4. Note that the number to the right of the “T”

will be replaced with two dashes (– –).

5. Use the Numeric Keys –,

to enter the number of the title to be accessed.

6. The desired title will automatically be started.

Titles may also be selected during the playback

of a DVD by pressing the Title Button x.

However, the action of the disc when pressing

this button will vary from disc to disc. On occa-

sion, pressing this button will take you to the

disc’s main menu while, in other cases, pressing

this button will result in no action at all.

The movies or programs on most discs are divided

into individual chapters, as selected by the

disc’s producer. Using the on-screen Menu Bar,

you may view the number of the current chapter

and move to any chapter on the disc.

To change the chapter using the Menu Status

Bar, follow these steps:

1. During disc playback, press the Status

Button e.

2. Press the

‹

› Buttons ` until the

icon showing a disc and a file folder (second

from left), with the letter “C” beneath it, is

highlighted in white between yellow brackets.

3. Press the Enter Button .

4. Note that the number to the right of the “C”

will be replaced with two dashes (– –).

5. Using the Numeric Keys –, ,

enter the number of the chapter to be accessed.

6. The desired chapter will automatically be

started.

Changing Languages

DVD discs may contain a variety of audio tracks,

including foreign languages, special commen-

taries, descriptive video for the sight-impaired,

and various digital formats. In normal play, the

unit will always look for the default setting for

the audio track, but you may change the audio

track at any time using the Menu Status Bar and

following these steps:

1. During disc playback, press the Status

Button e.

2. Press the

‹

› Buttons ` until the

speaker icon (third from the left) is highlighted

in white between yellow brackets.

3. Press the Enter Button .

4. Note that the main Menu Bar will be replaced

with a single display of the current language

type (Figure 17).

5. Press the Enter Button until the desired

audio track is displayed. Note that the audio

tracks available on a disc will vary and that they

are always listed on the disc’s jacket or cover.

6. Within a few seconds, the disc will continue

play with the newly selected audio track.

Note that the audio track type selected in this

fashion is temporary and will only remain in

effect until the player is turned off. When the

unit is turned on for subsequent play, the

default audio type will always be used.

The audio track may also be selected during

the playback of a DVD by pressing the Audio

Button t. After pressing the button, the audio

track may be changed by pressing the Enter

Button until the desired audio track is

shown. Note, however, that some discs do not

allow audio track change while a disc is playing.

When the Audio Button t is pressed on this

menu page for audio track selection. In this

case, use the

‹

›

⁄

to make the selection from the menu

screen and then press the Enter Button .

The functionality of the Audio Button t may

vary from disc to disc. Many discs will allow you

to change the playback language while the disc

is playing, as noted earlier. However, when the

Audio Button t is pressed with some discs,

playback will stop and you will be taken to the

disc’s own audio menu. At that menu, use the

‹

›

⁄

Buttons y` to high-

light the desired playback language. Press the

Enter Button when the choice is made

and the disc will either resume playback or

take you to the disc’s main menu. Note that

these functions are controlled by information

programmed within the disc, and are outside

of the control of the DVD600.

DVD discs may contain a variety of subtitles. In

normal play, the unit will always look for the

default setting for the subtitle language, but you

may change that language at any time using the

Menu Status Bar and by following these steps:

1. During disc playback, press the Status

Button e.

2. Press the

‹

letter “S” icon (fourth from the left) is highlighted

in white between yellow brackets.

3. Press the Enter Button .

4. Note that the main Menu Bar will be replaced

with a single display of the subtitle language

(Figure 18).

Figure 18

5. Press the Enter Button until the desired

subtitle language is displayed. Note that the

subtitles available on a disc will vary, and they

are always listed on the disc’s jacket or cover.

Some discs may not offer alternative subtitles,

or any subtitles at all.

6. Within a few seconds, the disc will continue

to play with the newly selected subtitle

language.

Note that the subtitle language selected in this

fashion is temporary, and will remain in effect

until the player is turned off. When the unit

is turned on for subsequent play, the default

subtitle language will always be used.

The subtitle language may also be selected dur-

ing the playback of a DVD by pressing the

Subtitle Button . After pressing the but-

ton, the language may be changed by pressing

the Enter Button until the desired choice

is shown. Note, however, that some discs do

not allow audio track change while the disc is

playing. When the Audio Button t is

pressed, the player will go to the disc’s own

menu page for subtitle disc selection. In this

case, use the

‹

›

⁄

Buttons y`

to make the selection from the menu

screen and then press the Enter Button .

IMPORTANT NOTE: The steps indicated on

the page allow you to change the subtitle lan-

guage, but they do not determine whether the

subtitles are actually displayed on the screen.

To have the subtitles appear at any time, press

the Subtitle On/Off Button to toggle the

subtitles on or off with each press of the button.

When the subtitles are active, a Check-mark

icon “✔” will appear in the box to the right of

the subtitle description as shown earlier.

Also note that some DVD discs do not contain

subtitles. When the Subtitle On/Off Button

is pressed on a disc with no subtitles, the

Prohibit icon “X” will appear on screen.

Changing Camera Angles

A special feature of the DVD format is its capa-

bility of showing more than one view, or camera

angle, of the same scene. This feature enables

you to become the director, selecting the view

of a scene that you wish. Note, however, that

this feature does not appear on many discs and,

when it does appear, it will typically be for only

certain scenes and not for the entire disc’s pro-

gram. If you attempt to use the multiple-angle

feature on a disc that is not programmed for it,

you may see the Prohibited Feature icon “X” on

the screen. This is not a fault of the player; it

simply indicates that the feature is not available

on the disc being played.

To see whether a disc contains multiple angles,

check the disc’s cover or jacket. When a disc

does contain scenes with multiple angles, the pro-

ducers will usually include some sort of special

on-screen icon to alert you to the availability of

different angles of view. When you see such an

icon, the angle may be changed by the following

steps:

1. Press the Status Button e.

2. Press the

‹

› Buttons ` until the

camera icon with the letters “Ang” below it (fifth

from the left) is highlighted in white between

yellow brackets.

3. Press the Enter Button .

4. Note that the main Menu Bar will be replaced

with a single display of the angle number

(Figure 19).

Figure 19

5. Press the Enter Button until the desired

angle is shown. Note that the number of angles

available is set by the disc’s producer, not the

DVD600, and it may vary from disc to disc.

You may also change the angle directly by

pressing the Angle Button when multiple

angles are present, until the desired angle

appears on the screen.

Playing CDs

The DVD600 allows you to take advantage of

the on-screen Menu Bar even when playing

CDs. The use of this graphical display makes it

easy to select CD Functions.

When a CD is playing, the Menu Bar will auto-

matically appear in your video display, even

though there is no video on the CD itself. To

remove the Menu Bar at any time, press the

Clear Button . If the Menu Bar is not pres-

ent, press the Status Button e to have it

appear on the screen (Figure 20).

background, press the Enter Button or

› Button to move to the next selection.

3. The second box will now be highlighted in

blue to indicate that a selection for track or title

is to be made. As the DVD600 already knows

the disc type for the position selected, the head-

ing over the box will indicate “Track” for CD

discs and “Title” for DVD discs. The number in

parentheses under the box shows the maximum

number of tracks or titles on the disc. If “99”

appears, it indicates that the disc selected has

not yet been played and the unit does not yet

ing logos and piracy warnings. Before selecting

a DVD title number, you may wish to preview

the disc while the on-screen Menu Bar is active

to see which title numbers refer to each portion

of the disc. This is particularly important in discs

with large amounts of special feature material.

5. The third box will now be highlighted in blue

to indicate that a selection for chapter should

be made. This choice is available only for DVD

discs, as CD discs do not have chapter capa-

bility. The number in parentheses under the box

shows the maximum number of chapters on the

disc. If “99” appears, it indicates that the disc

selected has not yet been played and the unit

does not yet know the type of disc and how

many titles or tracks are available. If “0”

OPERATING THE SCS135S

Move the Master Power switch (marked “Power” ) to the “

•

” (On) position to

use the subwoofer. The SCS135S subwoofer will automatically turn itself on or go

into Standby (sleep) mode. When your receiver or amplifier is off, or is not sending

program material to the subwoofer, the subwoofer will be in Standby mode, which

is indicated by the LED

turning red. When the subwoofer senses an audio signal,

it will automatically turn itself on, and the LED will turn green. If the subwoofer

does not sense a signal after

approximately twenty minutes,

it will automatically go

into Standby mode, and the LED will revert to red.

If you will be away from home for an extended period of time, or if the subwoofer

will not be used, switch the Master Power switch to the Off position.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Processor Reset

In the rare case where the DCR600’s operation

or the displays seem abnormal, the cause may

involve the erratic operation of the system’s

memory or microprocessor.

To correct this problem, first unplug the unit

from the AC wall outlet and wait at least three

minutes. After the pause, reconnect the AC

power cord and check the unit’s operation. If the

system still malfunctions, a system reset may

clear the problem.

To clear the DCR600’s entire system memory

including tuner presets, output level settings,

delay times and speaker configuration data, first

put the unit in Standby by pressing the System

Power Control Button 2. Next, press and

hold the Tone Mode 6 and the FM Mode

Selector @ buttons for three seconds.

The unit will turn on automatically and display

the RESET message in the Main

Information Display W. Note that once you

have cleared the memory in this manner, it is

necessary to reestablish all system configuration

settings and tuner presets.

NOTE: Resetting the processor will erase any

configuration settings you have made for speak-

ers, output levels, surround modes and digital

input assignments, as well as the tuner presets.

After a reset, the unit will be returned to the

factory presets, and all settings for these items

must be reentered.

If the system is still operating incorrectly, there

may have been an electronic discharge or

severe AC line interference that has corrupted

the memory or microprocessor.

If these steps do not solve the problem, consult

an authorized JBL service center.

In the event that you forget the password for

the DVD600, you may reset it to the factory

default by following this procedure: In Standby

mode, press the Search Back and Skip

Forward buttons on the front panel

simultaneously for more than 3 seconds. The

Information Display W will light, and a test

pattern will appear on your TV. Press Power On

b to proceed.
