If your JVC Home Theater System isn't producing any sound or video, first ensure all cables are properly connected. Also, check if headphones are connected; if so, disconnect them.
Why is my JVC Home Theater System not playing discs?

Why is there no sound/video via HDMI on my JVC Sophisti DD-3 Home Theater System?
If you're not getting sound or video through the HDMI terminal on your JVC Home Theater System, it could be due to several reasons. First, the disc or file might be in a format not compatible with your unit or TV. Second, the connected TV might not be compatible with HDCP. Third, the unit might not recognize the TV connected to the HDMI terminal – try disconnecting and reconnecting the HDMI cable. Finally, using an HDMI cable longer than 5 m (15 feet) can cause issues; use a shorter cable.
What to do if my JVC Sophisti DD-3 remote control doesn't operate the main unit?

What to do if my JVC Sophisti DD-3 Home Theater System disc tray won't eject?
If the disc tray of your JVC Home Theater System does not eject, and “LOCKED” appears in the display window, disc ejection has been locked. Cancel the disc ejection lock.
What to do if my JVC Sophisti DD-3 distorts the picture via HDMI?
If the picture is distorted when your TV is connected to the HDMI terminal of your JVC Home Theater System, the picture proportion might not be appropriate. Connect the TV to the [VIDEO] or [S-VIDEO] terminal, and select the video signal type and the monitor out type.
Why can't my JVC Sophisti DD-3 play certain files?
If your JVC Home Theater System can't play MP3, WMA, WAV, JPEG, ASF, DivX, MPEG1, or MPEG2 files, the disc might contain a mix of different file types. Select “FILE TYPE” and choose the specific file types you want to play. If the unit already read the file before you changed the setting, either reload the disc or, if using a USB device, disconnect and reconnect it after setting the desired “FILE TYPE”.
