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 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 (–).

Parts Identification / 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 Loop Antenna (1)

• FM Antenna (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.

are output directly from the headphones.

— For multichannel sources, the front left and right, center, and

rear channel signals are down-mixed and then output from the headphones. You can enjoy multichannel sound sources using the headphones.

CAUTION:

Be sure to turn down the volume:

• Before connecting or putting on headphones, as high volume can damage both the headphones and your hearing.

• Before turning on speakers again, as high volume may output from the speakers.

Note:

The volume level can be adjusted within the range of “0” (minimum) to “50” (maximum).

Basic adjustment auto memory

This receiver memorizes sound settings for each source when:

• you turn off the power,

• you change the source, and

• you assign the source name.

When you change the source, the memorized settings for the newly selected source are automatically recalled. The following can be stored for each source:

• Input attenuator mode (see page 15)

• Balance (see page 15)

• Tone adjustment (see page 15)

• Subwoofer output level (see page 15)

• Surround mode selection (see pages 21 – 23 )

Notes:

• You cannot assign and store different settings for digital input mode and analog input mode.

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

For recording

You can record any sources playing through the receiver to a cassette deck (or a CD recorder) connected to the TAPE/CDR jacks and the VCR connected to the VCR jacks at the same time.

While recording, you can listen to the selected sound source at whatever sound level you like without affecting the sound levels of the recording.

Note:

The output volume level, tone adjustment (see page 15), and Surround modes (see page 18) cannot affect the recording.

Creating Realistic Sound Fields

You can use the following Surround modes to reproduce a realistic sound field:

■ Dolby Surround

• Dolby Pro Logic II

• Dolby Digital

■ DTS Digital Surround

■ DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes

■ All Channel Stereo

■ Dolby Surround

Dolby Pro Logic II*

Dolby Pro Logic II has a newly developed multichannel playback

format to decode all 2 channel sources—regular stereo source and Dolby Surround encoded source—into 5.1 channel. Matrix-based encoding/decoding method for Dolby Pro Logic II makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the rear treble and enables stereo rear sound compared to conventional Dolby Pro Logic.

Dolby Pro Logic II enables to reproduce spacious sound from original sound without adding any new sounds and tonal colorations. Dolby Pro Logic II has two modes—Movie mode and Music mode:

Pro Logic II Movie (PL II MOVIE)—suitable for reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded sources bearing the mark

You can enjoy soundfield very close to the one created with discrete

5.1 channel sounds. Pro Logic II Music (PL II MUSIC)—suitable for reproduction of any 2 channel stereo music sources. You can enjoy wide and deep sound by using this mode. For this mode, Panorama control can be selected, which gives “wraparound” sound effect with side-wall image.

• When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated,

PRO LOGIC II

indicator lights up on the display.

DOLBY SURROUND

Dolby Digital*

Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software encoded with Dolby Digital (

DIGITAL

).

• To enjoy the software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver. (See page 7.)

Dolby Digital 5.1 ch encoding method (so-called discrete multichannel digital audio format) records and digitally compresses the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left rear channel, right rear channel, and LFE channel signals. Since each channel is completely independent from the other channel signals to avoid interference, you can obtain much better sound quality with much stereo and surround effects.

Note:

Dolby Digital software can be roughly grouped into two categories —multichannel (up to “5.1” channel) and 2 channel software. To enjoy surround sounds while playing Dolby Digital 2 ch software, you can use Dolby Pro Logic II.

■ DTS Digital Surround**

Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software

.

encoded with DTS Digital Surround (

• To enjoy the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround, connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver. (See page 7.)

DTS Digital Surround is another discrete multichannel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software. Compared to Dolby Digital, audio compression ratio is relatively low. This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format to add breadth and depth to the reproduced sounds. As a result, DTS Digital Surround features natural, solid and clear sound.

■ DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes

DAP modes have been designed to create important acoustic surround elements.

The sound heard in a live club, dance club, hall or pavilion 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 (see the diagram below). These indirect sounds are important elements of the acoustic surround effects. The DAP mode can reproduce a realistic sound field by adding these indirect sounds.

DAP modes can be used when the front and rear speakers are connected to this receiver (without respect to the center speaker connection: no sound comes out of the center speaker even if it is connected).

The following DAP modes are provided with this receiver:

LIVE CLUB : Gives the feeling of a live music club with a low

ceiling.

DANCE CLUB : Gives a throbbing bass beat.

HALL : Gives clear vocal and the feeling of a concert

hall.

PAVILION : Gives the spacious feeling of a pavilion with a

high ceiling.

■ All Channel Stereo

This mode can reproduce a larger stereo sound field using all the connected (and activated) speakers.

All Channel Stereo can be used when the front and rear speakers are connected to this receiver without respect to the center speaker connection.

If the center speaker is connected and activated, the same phase of the front left and right signals are output through the center speaker.

All Channel Stereo can be used while reproducing 2 channel stereo software, either analog or digital except Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround.

• When All Channel Stereo is selected, the DSP indicator lights up on the display.

COMPU LINK Remote Control System

The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate JVC’s audio components through the remote sensor on the receiver. To use this remote control system, you need to connect JVC’s audio components through the COMPU LINK-4 (SYNCHRO) jacks (see below) in addition to the connections using cables with RCA pin plugs (see page 6).

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

Notes:

• There are four versions of COMPU LINK remote control system.

This receiver is equipped with the fourth version—COMPU LINK-4. This version is added systematic operations with the CD recorder to the previous version—COMPU LINK-3.

• If your audio component has two COMPU LINK jacks, you can use

either one. If it has only one COMPU LINK jack, connect it so that it is the last item in the series of components.

• To operate the cassette deck or CD recorder using the COMPU

LINK remote control system, set the source name correctly. (See page 8.)

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

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 25 to 27.

Automatic Power On/Off (Standby): only possible with the COMPU LINK-3 and COMPU LINK-4

Both the CD player and cassette deck (or CD recorder) turn on and off (standby) along with the receiver. When you turn on the receiver, the CD player or cassette deck (or CD 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 CD recorder) will turn off (standby).

Synchronized Recording

Synchronized recording means the cassette deck starts recording as soon as a CD begins playing.

To use synchronized recording, follow these steps:

1

Put a tape in the cassette deck and a disc in the CD player.

2

Press the record (¶) button and the pause (8) button on the cassette deck at the same time.

This puts the cassette deck 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.

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

Notes:

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

• 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.

Automatic Source Selection

When you press the play ( 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 on the remote control, the selected component begins playing immediately. In both cases, the previously selected source continues playing without sound for a few seconds.

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 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 (–).

English

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 Loop Antenna (1)

• FM Antenna (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.

Creating Realistic Sound Fields

English

You can use the following Surround modes to reproduce a realistic sound field:

■ Dolby Surround

• Dolby Pro Logic II

• Dolby Digital

■ DTS Digital Surround

■ DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes

■ All Channel Stereo

■ Dolby Surround

Dolby Pro Logic II*

Dolby Pro Logic II has a newly developed multichannel playback

format to decode all 2 channel sources—regular stereo source and Dolby Surround encoded source—into 5.1 channel. Matrix-based encoding/decoding method for Dolby Pro Logic II makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the rear treble and enables stereo rear sound compared to conventional Dolby Pro Logic.

Dolby Pro Logic II enables to reproduce spacious sound from original sound without adding any new sounds and tonal colorations. Dolby Pro Logic II has two modes—Movie mode and Music mode:

Pro Logic II Movie (PL II MOVIE)—suitable for reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded sources bearing the mark

You can enjoy soundfield very close to the one created with discrete

5.1 channel sounds. Pro Logic II Music (PL II MUSIC)—suitable for reproduction of any 2 channel stereo music sources. You can enjoy wide and deep sound by using this mode. For this mode, Panorama control can be selected, which gives “wraparound” sound effect with side-wall image.

• When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, indicator lights up on the display.

PRO LOGIC II

DOLBY SURROUND

Dolby Digital*

Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software encoded with Dolby Digital (

DIGITAL

).

• To enjoy the software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver. (See page 7.)

Dolby Digital 5.1 ch encoding method (so-called discrete multichannel digital audio format) records and digitally compresses the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left rear channel, right rear channel, and LFE channel signals. Since each channel is completely independent from the other channel signals to avoid interference, you can obtain much better sound quality with much stereo and surround effects.

Note:

Dolby Digital software can be roughly grouped into two categories —multichannel (up to “5.1” channel) and 2 channel software. To enjoy surround sounds while playing Dolby Digital 2 ch software, you can use Dolby Pro Logic II.

■ DTS Digital Surround**

Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software

.

encoded with DTS Digital Surround (

• To enjoy the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround, connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver. (See page 7.)

DTS Digital Surround is another discrete multichannel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software. Compared to Dolby Digital, audio compression ratio is relatively low. This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format to add breadth and depth to the reproduced sounds. As a result, DTS Digital Surround features natural, solid and clear sound.

■ DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes

DAP modes have been designed to create important acoustic surround elements.

The sound heard in a live club, dance club, hall or pavilion 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 (see the diagram below). These indirect sounds are important elements of the acoustic surround effects. The DAP mode can reproduce a realistic sound field by adding these indirect sounds.

DAP modes can be used when the front and rear speakers are connected to this receiver (without respect to the center speaker connection: no sound comes out of the center speaker even if it is connected).

The following DAP modes are provided with this receiver:

LIVE CLUB : Gives the feeling of a live music club with a low

ceiling.

DANCE CLUB : Gives a throbbing bass beat.

HALL : Gives clear vocal and the feeling of a concert

hall.

PAVILION : Gives the spacious feeling of a pavilion with a

high ceiling.

■ All Channel Stereo

This mode can reproduce a larger stereo sound field using all the connected (and activated) speakers.

All Channel Stereo can be used when the front and rear speakers are connected to this receiver without respect to the center speaker connection.

If the center speaker is connected and activated, the same phase of the front left and right signals are output through the center speaker.

All Channel Stereo can be used while reproducing 2 channel stereo software, either analog or digital except Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround.

• When All Channel Stereo is selected, the DSP indicator lights up on the display.

All Channel Stereo reproduction

English

These DAP modes can be used to add the acoustic surround effects while reproducing 2 channel stereo software—either analog or digital except Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround—and can

give you a real “being there” feeling.
