Getting Started

Video component connections

Use the cables with RCA pin plugs (not supplied). Connect the white plug to the audio left jack, the red plug to the audio right jack, and the yellow plug to the video jack. If your video components have S-video (Y/C-separation) terminals, connect them using S-video cables (not supplied). Connecting these video components through the S-video input/output terminals will give you better picture playback (or recording) quality.

IMPORTANT:

This receiver is equipped with both the composite video and S-video input/output terminals for connecting video components. You do not have to connect both the composite video and S-video terminals. However, remember that the video signals from the composite video input

terminals are output only through the composite video output terminals, while the ones from the S-video input terminals are output only through the S-video output terminals.

Therefore, if a recording video component and a playing video component are connected to the receiver through the different video terminals, you cannot record the picture from the playing component on the recording component. In addition, if the TV and a playing video component are connected to the receiver through the different video terminals, you cannot view the playback picture from the playing component on the TV.

To view and record the playback picture from the video component connected to the VCR 2 jacks, you must connect the TV and the recording video component through the composite video terminals.

Connecting the TV and/or DBS tuner

You can connect either the TV or DBS tuner to the TV SOUND/DBS jacks.

Connecting the Power Cord

Before plugging the receiver into an AC outlet, make sure that all connections have been made. When the power cord is connected, the STANDBY lamp above the POWER button lights up.

Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables and 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.

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 receiver.

Notes:

• A small amount of power is always consumed even in standby mode. To switch off the power completely, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.

• If the power cord is unplugged or a power failure occurs, preset settings will be erased in a few days.

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.

1. On the back of the remote control, remove the battery cover as illustrated.

2. Insert batteries. Make sure to observe the proper polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

3. Replace the cover.

R6P (SUM-3)/AA (15F)

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 indicated: (+) 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.

Using the DSP Modes

The built-in Surround Processor provides three types of the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) mode — 3DPHONIC mode, DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) mode and Surround mode (Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic and JVC’s Theater Surround.)

On the 3D-PHONIC mode

The 3D-PHONIC mode gives you such a nearly surround effect as it is reproduced through the Dolby Surround decoder, which is widely used to reproduce sounds with a feeling of movement like those experienced in movie theaters. The 3D-PHONIC mode is the result of research on sound localization technology carried out at JVC for many years and makes it possible to reproduce the surround sound with only two front speakers.

On the DAP mode

The sound heard in a concert hall or club consists of direct sound and indirect sound — early reflections and reflections from behind. Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any reflection. On the other hand, indirect sounds are delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls. These direct sounds and indirect sounds are the most important elements of the acoustic surround effects. The DAP mode can create these important elements, and gives you a real “being there” feeling.

Early reflections

Direct sounds

Reflections from behind

Notes:

• The DSP modes have no effect on monaural sources.

• You can not use the two types of the DSP modes at the same time.

IMPORTANT:

When recording the digital source, turn off the DSP mode.

On Surround mode

With this receiver, you can use two types of the surround mode.

COMPU LINK Remote Control System

The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate JVC audio components through the remote sensor on the receiver.

To use this remote control system, you need to connect JVC audio components through the COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) jacks (see below) in addition to the connections using cables with RCA pin plugs (see page 8) (and a digital cable if you want — see page 11).

• Make sure that the AC power cords of these components are unplugged before connection. Plug the AC power cords only after all connections are complete.

COMPU LINK – 3

(SYNCHRO)

CD player

Cassette deck

MD recorder

Turntable

This remote control system allows you to use four functions listed below.

Remote Control through the Remote Sensor on the Receiver

You can control the connected audio components through the remote sensor on the receiver using this remote control. Aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the receiver. For details, see pages 58 and 59.

Notes:

• If your audio component has two COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) jacks, you can use either one. If it has only one COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) jack, connect it so that it is the last item in the series of components. (For example, the turntable or CD player in the diagram to the left.)

• To operate the cassette deck or MD recorder using the COMPU LINK remote control system, set the source name correctly. (See page 17.)

• Refer also to the manuals supplied with your audio components.

Automatic Source Selection

When you press the play (

3) button on a connected component or on its own remote

control, the receiver automatically turns on and changes the source to the component. On the other hand, if you select a new source on the receiver or the remote control, the selected component begins playing immediately. In both cases, the previously selected source continues playing without sound for a few seconds.

Automatic Power On/Off (Standby): only possible with the COMPU LINK-3 connection

Both the CD player and cassette deck (or MD recorder) turn on and off (standby) along with the receiver. When you turn on the receiver, the CD player or cassette deck (or MD recorder) will turn on automatically, depending on which component has been previously selected. When you turn off the receiver, both the CD player and cassette deck (or MD recorder) will turn off (standby).

Synchronized Recording

Synchronized recording means the cassette deck (or MD recorder) starts recording as soon as a CD or a record begins playing.

To use synchronized recording, follow these steps:

1. Put a tape in the cassette deck (or an MD in the MD recorder), and a disc in the CD player (or a record on the turntable).

2. Press the record (

¶¶

¶) button and the pause (

¶¶

8) button on the cassette deck (or

MD recorder) at the same time.

This puts the cassette deck (or MD recorder) into recording pause. If you do not press the record (¶) button and pause (8) button at the same time, the synchronized recording feature will not operate.

3. Press the play (

3) button on the CD player or on the turntable.

The source changes on the receiver, and as soon as play starts, the cassette deck (or MD recorder) starts recording. When the play ends, the cassette deck (or MD recorder) enters recording pause, and stops about 4 seconds later.

Notes:

• During synchronized recording, the selected source cannot be changed.

• If your CD player is playing in program mode, a 4-second blank is recorded between tracks so that the music scan feature of your cassette deck can be used on the recorded tape.

• If the power of any component is shut off during synchronized recording, the COMPU LINK remote control system may not operate properly. In this case, you must start again from the beginning.

TEXT COMPU LINK Remote Control System

The TEXT COMPU LINK remote control system has been newly developed to deal with the disc information recorded in the CD Text* and MDs. Using these information in the discs, you can operate the CD player or MD recorder equipped with the TEXT COMPU LINK remote control system through the receiver.

CONNECTIONS:

To use this remote control system, you need to connect the CD player and/or MD recorder you want to operate, following the procedures below.

1. If you have already plugged your CD player, MD recorder, and this receiver into the AC outlets, unplug their AC power cords first.

2. Connect your CD player, MD recorder, and this receiver as follows, through the COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) jacks and TEXT COMPU LINK jacks.

1) COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) jacks: Use the cables with the monaural mini-

plugs (not supplied with this receiver)

COMPU LINK – 3

(SYNCHRO)

CD player

2) TEXT COMPU LINK jacks: Use the cables with the stereo mini-plugs (not

supplied with this receiver)

CD player

IMPORTANT:

Set the Master/Slave Selector on the rear to “1(MASTER UNIT).”

• “2(SLAVE UNIT)” is just for the serviceman’s use. The TEXT COMPU LINK remote control system does not function with the selector set to “2(SLAVE UNIT).”

MD recorder

TEXT

COMPU LINK

1(MASTER UNIT) 2(SLAVE UNIT)

* What is a CD Text?

In a CD Text, some information about the disc (its disc title, performer, composer, arranger, etc.) is recorded.

Notes:

• If your audio component has two TEXT COMPU LINK jacks, you can use either one. If it has only one TEXT COMPU LINK jack, connect it so that it is the last item in the series of components. (For example, the CD player in the diagram to the left.)

• Refer also to the manuals

supplied with your CD player or MD recorder.

3. Connect your CD player, MD recorder and this receiver, using the cables with RCA pin plugs (see page 8) (and a digital cable if you want — see page 11).

4. Plug the AC power cords of these components above into the AC outlets.

5. When turning on these components for the first time, turn on the connected components first, then turn on this receiver.

FUNCTIONS:

This remote control system allows you to use the functions listed below.

Displaying the Disc Information on the TV screen

Disc information such as its performer and disc title (and track titles only when a CD Text is selected) is shown on the TV screen.

Disc Search: Only for CD Player

This remote control system can allow you to search discs by the performer, disc title, and music genre. With this disc search, you can easily find the disc you want to play.

Additional Functions:

• If your CD player has the User File function, you can select a disc from the groups. * A “user file” is a group of the discs you make as you like on the CD player.

• If your CD player has the disc memory function, you can input the performer, disc title, and music genre about these normal audio CDs on the TV screen.

Note:

If you turn on the receiver before turning on the other components after connecting components, the TEXT COMPU LINK remote control system does not work correctly. If this happens:

1. Turn off the all components including this receiver.

2. Turn on the connected components.

3. Turn on this receiver.

OPERATIONS

To use this remote control system, you need to connect the TV to the MONITOR OUT jack on the rear panel (see page 9), and set the TV’s input mode to the proper position to which the receiver is connected. Make sure you have connected the CD player

or MD recorder equipped with the TEXT COMPU LINK remote control system. If not, you cannot use the following functions.

FUNCTIONS:

This remote control system allows you to use five functions listed below.

Remote Control of DVD Player, VCR, and TV Using This Remote Control

For the DVD player and the VCR:

• Aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the each component. For the TV having AV COMPU LINK terminal “RECEIVER/AMP”:

• Aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the receiver when operating the TV.

For the TV having AV COMPU LINK terminal “AV COMPU LINK EX”:

• Aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the TV when operating the TV.

One-Touch Video Play

Simply by inserting a video cassette without its safety tab into the VCR1 (the VCR connected to the VCR1 jacks), you can enjoy the video playback without setting other switches manually. The receiver automatically turns on and changes the source to “VCR1.” The TV automatically turns on and changes the input mode to the position so that you can view the playback picture. When you insert a video cassette with its safety tab, press the play (

3) button on the

VCR1 or on the remote control. So, you can get the same result.

One-Touch DVD Play

Simply by starting playback on the DVD player, you can enjoy the DVD playback without setting other switches manually. The receiver automatically turns on and changes the source to “DVD”— “DVD” is automatically selected. The TV automatically turns on and changes the input mode to the position so that you can view the playback picture.

Note:

Refer also to the manuals supplied with your video components.

Automatic Selection of TV’s Input Mode

• When you select “TV SOUND” as the source to play on the receiver, the TV

automatically changes the input mode to the TV tuner so that you can watch TV.

• When you select “VCR2,” as the source to play on the receiver, the TV

automatically changes the input mode to the Video Input 2 so that you can watch the playback picture.

• When you select “DVD,” “VCR1,” “VIDEO” or “DBS” as the source to play on the

receiver, the TV automatically changes the input mode to the appropriate position (either Video Input 1 or Video Input 2) so that you can view the playback picture.

Automatic Power On/Off (Standby)

The TV, VCR1 (the VCR connected to the VCR1 jacks), and DVD player turn on and off along with the receiver.

• When you turn on the receiver;

• If the previously selected source is “VCR1,” the TV and VCR1 will turn on automatically.

• If the previously selected source is “VIDEO” or “TV SOUND,” only the TV will turn on automatically.

• If the previously selected source is “DVD,” the TV and DVD player will turn on automatically.

When you turn off the receiver, the TV, VCR1 and the DVD player will turn off.

Note:

When you select “TV SOUND” as the source on the receiver, you cannot see the menu on the TV screen since the AV COMPU LINK remote control system automatically changes the TV’s input mode to the TV tuner. If you do not mind stopping listening to the TV sounds, you can then show the on-screen displays after changing the TV’s input mode to the appropriate position (either Video Input 1 or Video Input 2) the receiver is connected to.

Note:

If you turn off the receiver while recording on the VCR1, the VCR1 will not turn off, but continue recording.

Operating JVC’s Audio/Video Components

You can operate JVC’s audio and video components with this receiver’s remote control, since control signals for JVC components are preset in the remote control.
