Connecting the Power Cord

Before plugging the receiver 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.

Putting Batteries in the Remote Control

English

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.

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 (–).

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.

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

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 indicated: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

Storing the Basic Settings and Adjustments — One Touch Operation

JVC’s One Touch Operation function is used to assign and store different sound settings for each different playing source. By using this function, you do not have to change the settings every time you change the source. The stored settings for the newly selected source are automatically recalled.

The following can be stored for each source:

• Volume level (see page 9)

• Input Attenuator (see page 10)

• Balance (see page 10)

• Bass Boost (see page 10)

• Tone adjustment (see page 10)

• DSP modes

– 3D-PHONIC mode settings (see page 17) – DAP mode settings (see page 17) – Surround mode settings (see page 18)

• DVD MULTI playback mode settings (see page 20)

To cancel the One Touch Operation function

Press ONE TOUCH OPERATION so that the lamp goes off. (Even though the One Touch Operation function is canceled, the recalled sound effects remain active.)

Notes:

• If the source is FM or AM, you can assign a different setting for each band.

Using the DSP Modes

DOLBY SURROUND

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

3D-PHONIC modes

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. This mode can be used when two front speakers are

connected to this receiver (without respect to the rear/center speaker connection).

You can select either 3D ACTION or 3D THEATER to your preference.

3D ACTION: Best for action and war movies — where the

action is fast and explosive.

3D THEATER: Reproduces the sound field of a large theater.

Surround Modes

With this receiver, you can use two types of the Surround modes.

• Dolby Surround

Dolby Surround has been developed to reproduce the important elements of the acoustic surround at home. To watch the soundtracks of video software bearing the mark

* which includes the same encoded surround information as found in Dolby Stereo films, the receiver can provide you with Dolby Surround decoder. There are two types of Dolby Surround – “Pro Logic” and “3 Stereo.”

“Pro Logic” can be used when the front speakers and rear speakers are connected to this receiver (regardless of the center speaker connection). On the other hand, “3 Stereo” can be used when the rear speakers are not connected (center speaker must be connected).

• JVC Theater Surround

In order to reproduce a more realistic sound field in your listening room while playing soundtracks of video software bearing the mark

, JVC Theater Surround has been designed to give you clearer vocals and to create a real “being there” feeling.

This mode can be used when the front speakers and rear speakers are connected to this receiver (without respect to the center speaker connection).

English

DAP modes

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. This mode can be used when the front

speakers are connected to this receiver (without respect to the rear/center speaker connection).

You can select one of the following to your preference.

DANCE CLUB:Gives a throbbing bass beat. LIVE CLUB: Gives the feeling of a live music club with a low

ceiling.

HALL: Gives clear vocal and the feeling of a concert hall. PAVILION: Gives the spacious feeling of a pavilion with a

high ceiling.

Notes:

• The DSP modes have no effect on monaural sources.

• The DSP modes cannot be used for recording.

• When you select “DVDMULTI” as the source to play, you cannot

select or adjust the DSP modes.

IMPORTANT:

Before recording, turn off the DVD MULTI playback mode.

As for the DVD MULTI playback mode, see page 20.
