Getting Started
This section explains how to connect stereo components and speakers to the receiver, and how to connect the power supply.
Before Installation
General
•Be sure your hands are dry.
•Turn the power off to all components.
•Read the manuals supplied with the components you are going to connect.
Locations
•Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from moisture.
•The temperature around the receiver must be between 23˚ and 95˚ F (–5˚ and 35˚ C).
•Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor ventilation could cause overheating and damage the receiver.
Handling the receiver
•Do not insert any metal object into the receiver.
•Do not disassemble the receiver or remove screws, covers, or cabinet.
•Do not expose the receiver to rain or moisture.
Checking the Supplied Accessories
Check to be sure you have all of the following items, which are supplied with the receiver.
The number in the parentheses indicates 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.

Note:
If reception is poor, connect the outside antenna.
Before attaching a 75 Ω coaxial cable (the kind with a round wire going to an outside antenna), disconnect the supplied FM wire antenna.
How to strip the 75 Ω coaxial cable and connect it to the FM terminals
1.Strip back the outside covering of the 75 Ω coaxial cable to expose the braided metallic mesh about 13/16 inches (20 mm).
2.Pull the mesh back and twist it into a single connector as shown in the illustration above.
3.Strip the insulation about 7/16 inches (10 mm) back from the central wire.
4.Insert the twisted mesh and the central wire to the FM terminals, as shown in the illustration above.

Notes :
•Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals, connecting cords and power cord. This could cause poor reception.
•If reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinyl-covered wire to the AM EXT terminal. (Keep the AM loop antenna connected.)

Getting Started
Connecting the Speakers
You can connect the following speakers:
•Two sets of front speakers to produce normal stereo sound
•One set of rear speakers to enjoy the surround effect
•One center speaker to produce more effective surround effect (to make human voices outstanding)
•One subwoofer to enhance the bass
For each speaker (except for subwoofer), connect one end of the speaker signal cable (not supplied) to the speaker terminal on the rear panel and the other end to the speaker. (For connecting a subwoofer, see page 8.)
1. Open each terminal.
2. Insert the end of the speaker signal cable as shown (be sure to remove the insulation at the end of each wire first). 
3. Close the terminals to clamp the speaker signal cables firmly in place.
4. Connect the (–) and (+) terminals on the rear panel to the (–) and (+) terminals marked on the speakers.
Connecting the front speakers
Connect the front speakers to the FRONT SPEAKERS terminals.
CAUTION:
When connecting speakers, use speakers with the SAME IMPEDANCE indicated by the speaker terminals.

If your audio components have a COMPU LINK-3 terminals
The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to control other JVC audio components from the receiver or vice versa.
For detailed information about the COMPU LINK-3 remote control system, see page 33.

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 for the TV, VCR, 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 the two supplied batteries in 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, press down on the battery cover and slide it out.
2.Insert batteries. Make sure to observe the proper polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
3.Slide 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.
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 receiver. When unplugging the receiver, always grasp the plug itself so as not to damage the cord.
CAUTIONS:
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.
•Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.
