  If the system isn't working correctly, it could be due to interference from lightning or electronic noise. Try switching the power off, then disconnect and reconnect the power plug. If the system was recently moved from a warm to a cold location, condensation might have formed inside. In this case, switch the power off and let the system sit for a few hours before turning it back on.

  There are a few reasons why a disc might not play. First, check if the center unit’s and disc’s Region Code numbers are compatible; if not, replace the disc. Also, Parental Lock may be enabled; enter the password to change the Parental Lock level. If you are trying to play MP3 files, make sure that MP3 files have the file extension in their file names. If you are trying to play JPEG files, make sure that JPEG files have the correct file extension in their file names. If no MP3 or JPEG files are recorded to the disc, replace the disc.

  To improve broadcast quality, ensure the antennas are correctly and securely reconnected. If using the AM loop antenna, adjust its position and direction, as it might be too close to the center unit. For FM broadcasts, fully extend and optimally position the supplied FM antenna. If listening to AM, experiment with different Beat Cut modes.

Why are the video and audio distorted on my JVC Home Theater System?
- M
  Marcia PughSep 2, 2025
  If the video and audio are distorted, the disc may be scratched or dirty. Try replacing or cleaning the disc. If a VCR is connected between the center unit and the TV, connect the center unit and TV directly. Also, with some discs, a picture may be blurred when setting “PICTURE SOURCE” to “FILM” or “AUTO”; try setting “PICTURE SOURCE” to “VIDEO (NORMAL)” or “VIDEO (ACTIVE)”.
