Attenuating The Input Signal; Changing The Scanning Mode; Activating The Recording Mode - JVC RX-DV3SL Instructions Manual

Basic Operations

Attenuating the Input Signal

When the input level of the analog source is too high, the sounds
will be distorted. If this happens, you need to attenuate the input
signal level to prevent the sound distortion.
• You have to make this adjustment for each analog source.
On the front panel ONLY
Press and hold INPUT ATT. (INPUT ANALOG/
DIGITAL) until the INPUT ATT indicator lights up
on the display.
• Each time you press and hold the button, the Input Attenuator
turns on ("ATT ON") or off ("ATT NORMAL"*).

Changing the Scanning Mode

This unit supports the progressive scanning system (480p*) as well
as the conventional interlaced scanning system (480i*).
If your TV has component video jacks and supports the progressive
video input, you can enjoy a high quality picture from the built-in
DVD player.
• Refer also to the manuals supplied with your TV.
• You cannot change the scanning mode when "PAL" is selected
as the color system of this unit. See pages 7 and 8.
• You can select the progressive mode according to the original
picture type (film or video source). See page 49.
• Do not change the scanning mode to "PROGRESSIVE" in the
following cases:
– When your TV does not support the progressive video input.
– When you do not connect your TV to the unit using component
video cord.
From the remote control ONLY
Press and hold PROGRESSIVE for more than 3
seconds when DVD is selected as the source.
The current scanning mode appears on the display for a while.
• Each time you press and hold the button, the scanning mode
changes "INTERLACE"* and "PROGRESSIVE" alternately.
* "INTERLACE" is the initial setting.

jacks supports the progressive video input.

Notes:
• Some progressive TVs and High-Definition TVs are not fully
compatible with this system. When a DVD VIDEO is played back in
the progressive scanning mode on those TVs, the unnatural picture
may be in a result. In such a case, change the scanning mode to
"INTERLACE." To check the compatibility of your TV, contact your
dealer. All JVC progressive TVs and High-Definition TVs are fully
compatible with this system respectively.
• When you select "PROGRESSIVE" as the scanning mode, the
picture does not come out correctly through composite video and
S-video jacks.
* 480p and 480i indicate the number of scanning lines and scanning
format of an image signal.
– 480p indicates 480 scanning lines with progressive format.
– 480i indicates 480 scanning lines with interlaced format.

by Recording mode. In this case, decrease the volume until the sound
distortion diminishes.
