Getting Started

Before Installation

General Precautions

• DO NOT insert any metal object into the unit.

• DO NOT disassemble the unit or remove screws, covers, or

cabinet.

• DO NOT expose the unit to rain or moisture.

Locations

• Install the unit in a location that is level and protected from
moisture.

• The temperature around the unit must be between –5˚C and 35˚C
(23˚F and 95˚F ).

• Make sure there is good ventilation around the unit. Poor
ventilation could cause overheating and damage the unit.

Handling the unit

• DO NOT touch the power cord with wet hands.

• DO NOT pull on the power cord to unplug the cord. When

unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage
the cord.

• Keep the power cord away from the connecting cords and the
antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. It
is recommended to use a coaxial cable for antenna connection,
since it is well-shielded against interference.

• When a power failure occurs, or when you unplug the power cord,
the preset settings such as preset FM/AM (MW/LW) channels and
sound adjustments may be erased in a few days.

Putting Batteries in the Remote Control

Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.

• When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at
the remote sensor on the unit.

1

On the back of the remote control, remove the
battery cover.

2

Insert batteries. Make sure to match the polarity:
(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

Getting Started

Checking the Supplied Accessories

Check to be sure you have all of the following supplied accessories.
The number in the parentheses indicates the quantity of the pieces
supplied.

• Remote Control (1)

• Batteries (2)

• AM (MW/LW) Loop Antenna (1)

• FM Antenna (1)

• SCART Cable (1)

• Digital Coaxial Cord (1)

If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.

3

Replace the cover.

If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace
the batteries. Use two R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell batteries.

CAUTION:

Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:

• Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity:

(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

• Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may

differ in voltage.

• Always replace both batteries at the same time.

• Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.

AM (MW/LW) antenna connection

Connect the AM (MW/LW) loop antenna supplied to the AM
LOOP terminals.
Turn the loop until you have the best reception.

• If the reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinyl-covered
wire to the AM EXT terminal. Keep the AM (MW/LW) loop
antenna connected.

FM antenna connection

Connect the FM antenna supplied to the FM 75 Ω COAXIAL
terminal as temporary measure.
Extend the supplied FM antenna horizontally.

• If the reception is poor, connect an outdoor FM antenna (not
supplied). Before attaching a 75 Ω coaxial cable (with a
standard type connector), disconnect the supplied FM antenna.

Connecting the Speakers

After connecting the front, center and rear speakers, and/or a
subwoofer, set the speaker setting information properly to obtain the
best possible Surround effect. For details, see page 15.

CAUTION:

Use speakers with the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by the
speaker terminals.

Getting Started

Notes:

• If the AM (MW/LW) loop antenna wire is covered
with vinyl, remove the vinyl while twisting it as
shown on the right.

• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any
other terminals, connecting cords and power cord.
This could cause poor reception.

For each speaker, connect the (+) and (–) terminals on the rear panel
to the (+) and (–) terminals marked on the speakers respectively.

1 Cut, twist and remove the insulation at the end of

each speaker cord (not supplied).

2 Press and hold the clamp of the speaker terminal

(1), then insert the speaker cord (2).

3 Release the finger from the clamp.

Connecting the subwoofer speaker

By connecting a subwoofer, you can enhance the bass or reproduce
the original LFE signals recorded in the digital software.

pin plugs (not supplied).

• Refer also to the manual supplied with your subwoofer.

Note:

You can place a subwoofer wherever you like since bass sound is
non-directional. Normally place it in front of you.

For an analogue decoder

To watch or record a scrambled program on
your VCR, connect the analogue decoder to
your VCR and select the scrambled channel
on your VCR.
If there is not an appropriate terminal for the
decoder on your VCR, connect the decoder
to your TV.
Refer also to the manuals supplied with
these equipments.

For recording pictures from STB

When you connect a STB and a VCR
directly with a SCART cable, you can enjoy
recording the pictures from the STB onto
VCR without using menu screens of STB.
For details, refer also to the manuals
supplied with the STB.

For digital sounds

• To enjoy the DVD software encoded with
Dolby Digital or DTS Digital Surround,
connect the DVD player using one of the
DIGITAL IN terminals (see page 7).

• To enjoy the digital sounds, use both the
SCART cable connection and the digital
connection (see page 7).

For TV and video format

When the TV is equipped with the plural SCART terminals, refer
to the manual supplied with the TV to check the available video
signals for each terminal, then connect SCART cable correctly.

This unit cannot convert the video signals (S-video or
Composite). When the video signal of one video component is
different from that of the other (for example, one is
S-video, the other is Composite), you may not see the pictures
appropriately. In this case, unify the video signals of all the
video components into S-video or Composite, or you need to
switch the video signal of TV each time you change the source.

For T-V LINK

• You can use T-V LINK function if you connect the T-V LINK
compatible TV and VCR to this unit with a fully wired SCART
cables. For details on T-V LINK, refer also to the manuals
supplied with the TV and the VCR.

• Connect SCART cable to EXT-2 terminal on your JVC’s T-V
LINK compatible TV for T-V LINK function.

• Some TV, VCR, STB and DVD player support this type of
data communication. For complete details, refer also to the
manuals supplied with these equipments.

Connecting the Power Cord

Before plugging the power cord into an AC outlet, make sure that all
connections have been made.

Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.

Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables and the
antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. We
recommend that you use a coaxial cable to connect the antenna,
since it is well-shielded against interference.

Note:

The preset settings such as preset channels and sound adjustment
may be erased in a few days in the following cases:

– When you unplug the power cord.
– When a power failure occurs.

CAUTIONS:

• Do not touch the power cord with wet hands.

• Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the cord. When

unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage
the cord.
