Dolby Pro Logic II*

Dolby Pro Logic II has a multi-channel playback format to

decode all 2 channel sources—stereo source and Dolby Surround encoded source—into 5.1 channels. 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 reproduction of 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 (PLII MOVIE)—suitable for the reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded sources bearing the mark the one created with discrete 5.1 channel sounds.

Pro Logic II Music (PLII MUSIC)—suitable for the 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.

Dolby Digital 5.1 channel encoding method (so-called discrete multi-channel digital audio format) records and digitally compresses the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left surround channel, right surround 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 many stereo and surround effects.

• When Dolby Digital signal comes in, the

Note:

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

DTS Digital Surround is another discrete multi-channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software. Compared to Dolby Digital, the 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.

Creating Realistic Sound Fields

DSP modes

7 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 on the right).

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 surround 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.

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.

• When one of the DAP modes is selected, the DSP indicator lights up on the display.

7 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 surround 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 is emitted 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.

COMPU LINK Remote Control System

RIGHT

COMPU LINK-4

(SYNCHRO)

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 (SYNCHRO) jacks (see below) in addition to the connections using cables with RCA pin plugs (see page 7).

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

Cassette deck CD player

Rear panel

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 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.

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:

Notes:

• There are four versions of the COMPU LINK remote control system. This receiver is equipped with the fourth version—COMPU LINK-4. This version adds 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 10.)

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

This remote control system allows you to use the 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 29 and 30.

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

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.

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.

• When the DVD player is connected through the digital input terminal on this receiver (and digital input is selected), the receiver automatically turns on and changes the source to “DVD DIGITAL.”

• The TV automatically turns on and changes the input mode to the appropriate position so that you can view the playback.

Automatic Selection of the TV 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 “DVD” or “VCR” as the source to play on the receiver, the TV automatically changes the input mode to the appropriate position so that you can view the playback.

Automatic Power On/Off

The TV, VCR, and DVD player turn on and off along with the receiver. When you turn on the receiver;

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

• If the previously selected source is “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, VCR, and DVD player will turn off.

Note:

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