Preparation
1. Switch the TV ON and select its
video input connected to the DSC
Controller.
2. Press ON to turn on the unit, JBL
Pro Sound Comes Home image
should appear on the screen. If that
screen appears distorted or without
color, change the appropriate
settings at the Video Setting Sub-
menu according to your TV set and
to the connection used between the
DSC Controller and your TV.
3. If there is no picture at all, not even
the JBL screen, check the setting of
the video input used on your TV
(most SCART inputs on TVs can be
configured in the TV´s menu). If this
doesn't work, connect your TV with
different cables to the DSC Control-
ler, e.g. via Composite (yellow jacks)
or S-Video cables, rather than
SCART to view the setup menus
until all appropriate ”Video menu”
settings are made properly.
4. Press OPEN/CLOSE to open the disc
tray.
5. Place a disc on the disc tray.
Hold the disc without touching
either of its surfaces, position it with
the side you wish to play facing
down, align it with the guides, and
place it in its proper position.
• 3" (8 cm) discs or 5" (12 cm) discs
can be used.
6. Press PLAY. The disc tray is
automatically closed and play
begins.
• When the disc tray is closed by
pressing OPEN/CLOSE, play will
start automatically.
• With most DVD’s, a Disc Menu
appears on the screen. Select
specific menu item by using ARROW
buttons on the remote, then press
ENTER.

1. To move forward or backward
through the DVD or CD disc being
played at fast speed, press Search
on the remote. Once one of these

There are four fast-play speeds. Each
press of the Search Buttons will cycle
to the next speed in the following
order: 2x, 4x, 16x, 100x, indicated by a
number of arrow indicators on the
right top of the screen.
2. Press PLAY at any time to resume
normal playback.
Note that there will be no audio
playback during fast-forward or -
reverse play of DVD discs. This is
normal for DVD, as surround
processors cannot process the digital
audio streams during fast-play modes;
audio will be heard during fast-play of
conventional CD’s.
Freeze Frame and Frame Advance

1. Press PAUSE when a DVD is playing
to freeze the picture.
2. Each time you press one of the
STEP (FWD or REV) buttons, the

Slow Motion Playback (with DVD
only)
1. When a DVD disc is in pause or
freeze frame mode, you may move
slowly forward or backward through
the program being played at one of
four speeds by pressing the
SEARCH Buttons on the remote.
Each press of the buttons will move
to the next speed, indicated by a
number of arrow indicators on the
right top of the screen.
2. Press PLAY to resume normal
playback.
Note that there will be no audio
playback during slow-forward or -
reverse play of DVD discs. This is
normal for DVD, as surround
processors cannot process the digital
audio streams during slow modes.
Slow play is not available for CD.
Notes: Playback features may not be
available during the opening credits of
a movie. This is intended by the disc
author and is not a failure of the DSC
Controller.
Playback of a DVD with 96 kHz/24-bit
audio requires the use of circuitry
normally used for other features.
Accordingly, Slow Play Reverse and
Step Advance features are not
available with these discs.
Depending on the structure of a VCD
disc, the functions Slow Reverse and
Step Reverse may be prohibited or
have no function and Fast Playback
(Search) may not function.
