Introduction

We would like to thank you for purchasing one of our JVC products.

Before operating this unit, read this manual carefully and thoroughly to obtain the best possible performance from your unit, and retain this manual for future reference.

Features

CC (Compensative Compression) converter

—ONLY for RX-8030VBK

CC Converter eliminates jitter and ripples, achieving a drastic reduction in digital distortion by processing the digital music data in 24 bit–quantization and by expanding the sampling frequency to 128 kHz (for fs 32 kHz signals)/176.4 kHz (for fs 44.1 kHz signals)/192 kHz (for fs 48 kHz signals). By using the CC Converter, you can obtain a natural sound field from any source. (See page 21 for details.)

K2 technology—ONLY for RX-8030VBK

K2 technology has been designed to enable natural audio reproduction, achieving a drastic reduction in digital distortion and creating original sound ambience with high precision.

Compatible with various audio formats including DTS 96/24

RX-8030VBK and RX-7030VBK/RX-7032VSL allow you to enjoy a newly introduced audio format such as Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS-ES, DTS Neo:6, and DTS 96/24.

•This unit is also compatible with Dual Mono signals recorded in Dolby Digital and DTS discs.

DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor)

Sound field simulation technology allows precise ambience recreation of existing theaters and halls. Thanks to the highperformance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and high-capacity memory, you can enjoy multi-channel surround sound by playing 2-channel or multi-channel software according to the speaker setting.

Multi-channel headphone virtual surround sound—3D HEADPHONE Mode

Precautions

Power sources

•When unplugging the receiver from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the AC power cord.

•Do not handle the AC power cord with wet hands.

•If you are not going to operate the receiver for an extended period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.

Ventilation

High power amplifiers built in this receiver will generate heat inside the cabinet. For safety, observe the following carefully.

•Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the receiver.

•Do not block the ventilation openings or holes. (If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)

Others

•Should any metallic object or liquid fall onto the unit, unplug the unit and consult your dealer before operating any further.

•Do not expose this apparatus to rain, moisture, dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases shall be placed on the apparatus.

•Do not disassemble the unit since there are no user serviceable parts inside.

If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your JVC dealer.

The built-in headphone virtual surround system is compatible with Multi-channel software like Dolby Digital, DTS Surround, etc. Thanks to the new signal processing algorithms used by the highperformance DSP, you can enjoy a natural surround sound through the headphones.

Placing speakers

Front speakers and center speaker

•Place these speakers (position of the mid-range speaker units) at the same height from the floor.

•Point these speakers aiming at the listener’s ears.

Surround and surround back speakers

•Place these speakers at a position which is 1 meter higher than the listener’s ears.

•Point these speakers down aiming at the listener’s ears.

Subwoofer

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

Note:

Ideal speaker layout requires that all speakers be placed at the same distance from the listener. However, since in some places it may be difficult to fulfil this requirement, this unit can adjust the delay time so that the sounds through all the speakers reach the listener with the same timing. (See page 28.)

7Subwoofer output—S WFR OUTPUT

You can select the type of the signal which can be transmitted through the subwoofer. In other words, you can determine whether or not the bass elements of the front speaker channels are transmitted through the subwoofer regardless of the front speaker size setting (either “SMALL” or “LARGE”).

Select one of the following:

LFE: Select to transmit only the LFE signals (while playing Dolby Digital and DTS software) and the bass elements of small speakers through the subwoofer.

LFE+MAIN: Select to always add the bass elements of the front speaker channels (MAIN) to the above (LFE) setting, and to transmit them through the subwoofer.

Note:

If you have selected “NO” for the subwoofer, this function is not available.

7Crossover frequency—CROSS OVER

When you use a subwoofer, you can select the cutoff frequency for the small speakers used.

Select one of the crossover frequency levels according to the size of the small speaker connected.

80Hz: Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 12 cm (4 3/4 inches).

100Hz: Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 10 cm (3 15/16 inches).

120Hz: Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 8 cm (3 3/16 inches).

150Hz: Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 6 cm (2 3/8 inches).

Notes:

.• If you have selected “LARGE” for all activated speakers (see page 27), this function is fixed to “OFF.”

•Crossover frequency is not valid for the DVD MULTI playback,

All Channel Stereo, HEADPHONE, and 3D HEADPHONE mode.
