Notes:

• If searching finishes at once, “PS,” “PTY,” and “RT” will not appear on the display.

• Some special characters and marks may not be displayed correctly. (The display cannot show accented letters, “A,” for instance, may stand for accented “A’s” like “Å, Ä, Ã, Á, À, and Â.”)

Notes:

• RDS is not available for AM (MW) broadcasts.

• Not all FM stations provide RDS signals, nor do all RDS stations provide the same services. If in doubt, check with local radio stations for details on RDS in your area.

• RDS may not operate correctly if the station tuned is not transmitting RDS signal properly or if the signal strength is weak.

Searching for a Program by PTY Codes

One of the advantages of the RDS service is that you can locate a particular kind of program from the preset channels (see pages 16 and 17) by specifying the PTY codes.

The distance from your listening point to the speakers is another important element to obtain the best possible sound of the Surround and DSP modes. Set the distance from your listening point to the speakers. By referring to the speaker distance setting, this unit automatically sets the delay time of the sound through each speaker so that sounds through all the speakers can reach you with the same timing.

• If you have used Quick Speaker Setup on page 21, this setting is not required.

Measuring unit—DISTANCE UNIT

Select which measuring unit you use.

UNIT METER: Select to set the distance in meters.

UNIT FEET: Select to set the distance in feet.

Notes:

• You cannot set the speaker distance for the speakers you have selected “NONE.”

• This setting is not valid for “DVD MULTI.”

2.1 m (7 ft)

Ex. In the above case, set the speaker distance as follows:

Front speakers: 3.0m (10FT) Center speaker: 3.0m (10FT) Surround speakers: 2.7m (9FT)

2.7 m (9 ft)

3.0 m (10 ft)

3.3 m (11 ft)

Setting the Bass Sounds

You can adjust subwoofer and bass sounds precisely according to your preference.

Subwoofer output—SUBWOOFER OUT

You can select the type of the signal which can be transmitted through the subwoofer. In other words, you can determine whether or not the bass elements of the front speaker channels are transmitted through the subwoofer regardless of the front speaker size setting (either “SMALL” or “LARGE”).

Select one of the following:

SWFR LFE: Select to emit only the LFE signals (while

playing Dolby Digital and DTS software) or the bass elements of the “SMALL” front speakers (while playing any source other than the above).

SWFR LFE+MAIN: Select to always emit the bass elements of

the front speaker channels (MAIN). While playing Dolby Digital and DTS software, the bass element and the LFE signals are both emitted.

Note:

If you have selected “SUBWOOFER NO” for the subwoofer, this function is not available.

Basic Settings

Crossover frequency—CROSSOVER

You can select the crossover frequency for the small speakers used. The signals below the preset frequency level will be sent to and be reproduced by the subwoofer (or by “LARGE” speakers when “SUBWOOFER” is set to “SUBWOOFER NO”).

Select one of the crossover frequency levels according to the size of the small speaker connected.

CROSS 80HZ: Select when the cone speaker unit built in the

Using the Surround Modes

PRO LOGIC

This unit activates a variety of Surround modes automatically. The basic settings and adjustments stored (see pages 21 to 27) are applied automatically.

Reproducing Theater Ambience

In a movie theater, many speakers are located on the walls to reproduce impressive multi-surround sounds, reaching you from all directions. With these many speakers, sound localization and sound movement can be expressed.

Surround modes built in this receiver can create almost the same surround sounds as you can feel in a real movie theater—with only a limited number of the speakers.

Introducing the Surround Modes

Dolby Digital*

Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed by Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and decoding (1ch up to 5.1ch).

• When Dolby Digital signal is detected through the digital input, the

Dolby Digital 5.1CH

Dolby Digital 5.1CH (DOLBY DIGITAL) encoding method records and digitally compresses the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left surround channel, right surround channel, and LFE channel signals (total 6 channels, but the LFE channel is counted as 0.1 channel. Therefore, called 5.1 channel). Dolby Digital enables stereo surround sounds, and sets the cutoff frequency of the surround treble at 20 kHz, compared to 7 kHz for Dolby Pro Logic. As such, the sound movement and “being-there” feeling are enhanced much more than Dolby Pro Logic.

Another digital surround encoding format introduced by Dolby Laboratories is Dolby Digital EX, which adds the third surround channels, called “surround back.” Compared to the conventional Dolby Digital 5.1CH, these newly added surround back channels can reproduce more detailed movements behind you while viewing the video software. In addition, surround sound localization will become more stable.

• You can use Virtual Surround Back (see page 25) when playing back Dolby Digital Surround EX software. This function creates the great surround effect from the behind as if you have connected the surround back speakers.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II is a multi-channel playback format to convert 2-channel software into 5-channel (plus subwoofer). The matrixbased conversion method used for Dolby Pro Logic II makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the surround treble and enables stereo surround sound.

• This receiver provides two types of Dolby Pro Logic II modes— Pro Logic II Movie (PLII MOVIE) and Pro Logic II Music (PLII MUSIC). When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the indicator lights up on the display.

PLII MOVIE: Suitable for playing any Dolby Surround

encoded software. You can enjoy a sound field very close to the one created with discrete 5.1channel sounds.

PLII MUSIC: Suitable for playing any 2-channel stereo

software. You can enjoy wide and deep sounds.

DTS*

DTS is another digital signal compression method, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., and enables multi-channel encoding and decoding (1ch up to 6.1ch).

• When DTS signal is detected through the digital input, the indicator lights up on the display.

DTS Digital Surround

DTS Digital Surround (DTS SURROUND) is another discrete

5.1-channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD

software. Compared to Dolby Digital, the DTS Digital Surround format has a lower audio compression rate which enables it to add breadth and depth to the sounds reproduced. As such, DTS Digital Surround features natural, solid, and clear sound.

Another multi-channel digital encoding format introduced by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. is DTS Extended Surround (DTS-ES). It greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and space expression by adding the third surround channel—surround back channel. DTS-ES includes two signal formats with different surround signal recording methods—DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch and DTS-ES Matrix

6.1ch.

• You can use Virtual Surround Back (see page 25) when playing back DTS-ES software. This function creates the great surround effect from the behind as if you have connected the surround back speakers.

DTS 96/24

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in higher sampling rates both for recording and for reproducing at home. Higher sampling rates allow wider frequency range and greater bit depths provide extended dynamic range. DTS 96/24 is a multi-channel digital signal format (fs 96 kHz/24 bits) introduced by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. to deliver “betterthan-CD sound quality” into the home.

• When DTS 96/24 signal is detected, the lights up. You can enjoy its 5.1-channel sound with full-quality.

indicator

What is Linear PCM?

Uncompressed digital audio data used for DVDs, CDs and Video CDs. DVDs support 2 channels with sampling rates of 48/96 kHz, at quantization of 16/20/24 bits. On the other hand, CDs and Video CDs are limited to 2 channels with 44.1 kHz at 16 bits.

• When Linear PCM signal is detected, the indicator lights up.

What is Dual Mono?

Dual Mono can be easily understood when you think of the bilingual broadcast or the MTS (Multichannel Television Sound) format used for TV programs (however, the Dual Mono format is not identical with those analog formats). This format is now adopted in Dolby Digital, DTS, and so on. It allows two independent channels (called main channel and subchannel) to be recorded separately.

• When Dual Mono signal is detected, the

indicator lights up. You can select either channel you want to listen to (see page 24).

When using the Surround mode, the sounds come out of the activated speakers which the Surround mode requires.

• If either the surround speakers or center speaker is set to “NONE” in the speaker setting, the corresponding channel signals are allocated to and emitted through the front speakers.

• If both the surround speakers and center speaker are set to “NONE” in the speaker setting, JVC’s original 3D-PHONIC processing (which has been developed to create the surround effect through the front speakers only) is used. The 3D-PHONIC indicator lights up on the display.

3D Headphone Mode—3D H PHONE

If you activate Surround when the front speakers are deactivated, 3D Headphone Mode is activated without respect to the type of software played back. “3D H PHONE” appears on the display and the DSP and H.PHONE indicators also light up.

Reproducing the Sound Field

The sound heard in a concert hall, club, etc. 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. DSP modes can create these important elements, and give you a real “being there” feeling.
