Getting Started

This section explains how to connect stereo components and speakers to the receiver, and how to connect the power supply.

English

Before Installation

General

• Be sure your hands are dry.

• Turn the power off to all components.

• Read the instructions 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 –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)

• Audio Signal Attenuating Cord (1)

• AV COMPU LINK cable (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 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 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.

Turn the loop until you have the best reception.

Snap the tabs on the loop into the slots of the base to assemble the AM loop.

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.)

Outdoor Single Vinylcovered Wire

Getting Started

English

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 6.)

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).

CAUTION:

When connecting speakers, use speakers with the SAME IMPEDANCE indicated by the speaker terminals.

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.

Connecting the subwoofer

Connect the input jack of a powered subwoofer to the SUBWOOFER OUT jack on the rear panel, using a cable with RCA pin plugs.

Notes:

•

When you connect rear speakers, make sure that both left and right speakers are connected; otherwise, no sound will come out of the rear speakers.

•

You can register the center speaker size after you finish its connection. If you register it, you do not have to set the center speaker mode while setting the surround mode. (If you do not use a center speaker, register that information.) See page 15.

CAUTION:

If you connect a sound-enhancing device such as a graphic equalizer between the source components and this receiver, the sound output through this receiver may be distorted.

Notes:

• Any turntables incorporating a small-output cartridge such as an MC (moving-coil type) must be connected to the receiver through a commercial head amplifier or step-up transformer . Direct connection may result in unsufficient volume.

• When connecting an audio/ video component (ex.: Video CD player) with "karaoke” — singing along — function, use the audio signal attenuating cord supplied with this receiver. If not, sound may be distorted.

If your audio components have an AV COMPU LINK terminal

The AV COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to control other JVC video components from the receiver or vice versa. For detailed information about the connection and the AV COMPU LINK remote control system, see page 37.

Getting started

English

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.

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.

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 (–).

3. Replace 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.

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.

Basic Operations

The following operations are commonly used when you play any sound source.

Turning the Power On and Off

Basic Operations

English

Adjusting the Volume

On the front panel:

To increase the volume, turn MASTER VOLUME clockwise. To decrease the volume, turn it counterclockwise.

When you turn MASTER VOLUME rapidly, the volume level also changes rapidly. When you turn MASTER VOLUME slowly, the volume level also changes slowly.
