The kind of video signal that can be output depends on the video equipment. The image quality differs 
depending on the video signal format. Generally speaking, the order of quality of the image goes as follows.
1. Component video 
→ 2. S-video → 3. Composite video
Check which signal system to use in the “User’s Guide” supplied with the video equipment that is being used. 
Composite video may be called “Image output”.
If the equipment you are connecting has a unique connector shape, connect using the cable that came with your
equipment, or an optional cable.
•Turn off connected equipment. Damage may result if you try to connect when the power is on.
•Do not try to force a cable plug to fit a port with a different shape. This may damage the unit or the equipment.
•Close the interface cover when you are not connecting to external video equipment or a computer.

Becoming an Audio Expert
•When listening with headphones, make sure the volume is not too high. You may affect your hearing in an adverse 
way when listening to sounds at high volume over an extended period of time.
•Don’t set the volume too high from the outset.  A loud sound may be produced suddenly that may cause damage to 
your headphones or your hearing. As a precaution, lower the volume before you switch off this unit then raise it 
gradually after you switch it back on.
Once you have connected your headphones to the headphone jack, sound does not come from the speakers. When
connected to a subwoofer, sound also stops coming from the subwoofer.

About JVC original sound system
Alpha waves are said to be the brain waves which are generated when a person is 
relaxing. JVC original sound system is the alpha wave frequency fluctuation given 
to the necessary variation between the left and right signals in a sound circuit (the 
indirect sounds between L-R). This is called LFO modulation. The aim is to correct 
the audio signal to fall easily within this median region, to produce natural 
sounding audio that relaxes you simply by listening to it.
