Video component connections

Use the cables with RCA pin plugs (not supplied). Connect the white plug to the audio left jack, the red plug to the audio right jack, and the yellow plug to the video jack. If your video components have S-video (Y/C-separation) terminals, connect them using S-video cables (not supplied). Connecting these video components through the S-video input/output terminals will give you better picture playback (or recording) quality.

IMPORTANT:

This receiver is equipped with both the composite video and S-video input/output terminals for connecting video components. You do not have to connect both the composite video and S-video terminals. However, remember that the video signals from the composite

video input terminals are output only through the composite video output terminals, while the ones from the S-video input terminals are output only through the S-video output terminals.

Therefore, if a recording video component and a playing video component are connected to the receiver through the different video terminals, you cannot record the picture from the playing component on the recording component. In addition, if the TV and a playing video component are connected to the receiver through the different video terminals, you cannot view the playback picture from the playing component on the TV.

This mode can reproduce the LFE channel signals, mixing them with the front channel signals. So you will not miss the subwoofer sounds even if you listen to a source using the headphones.

Notes:

• While in the HEADPHONE mode, you cannot use any DSP modes (see page 19.)

• Activating the speaker cancels the HEADPHONE mode and turns on the DSP mode previously selected.

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.

Using the DSP Modes

DOLBY SURROUND

The built-in Surround Processor provides two types of the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) mode — Surround mode and DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) mode.

English

What are the DSP Modes?

Surround modes

With this receiver, you can use three types of the Surround mode.

Following modes cannot be used when only the front speakers are connected to this receiver (without the rear speakers or center speaker).

JVC Theater Surround

In order to reproduce a more realistic sound field in your listening room while playing soundtracks of software encoded with Dolby Surround (bearing the mark

), you can use JVC

Theater Surround.

Dolby Surround (Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic)

Used to watch the soundtracks of software encoded with Dolby Digital (bearing the mark (bearing the mark

DOLBY SURROUND

DIGITAL

) or with Dolby Surround

). Dolby Surround encoding format records the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, and rear channel (total 4 channels) signals into 2 channels. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built in this receiver decodes these 2 channel signals into original 4 channel signals — matrix-based multichannel reproduction, and allows you to enjoy the realistic stereo sounds in your listening room. On the other hand, Dolby Digital encoding method (so called discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format) records and compresses the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left rear channel, right rear channel, and LFE channel (total 6 channels, but LFE channel is counted as 0.1 channel, therefore called 5.1 channels) signals digitally. Each channel is completely independent from other channel signals to avoid interference, therefore, you can obtain much better sound quality with much stereo and surround effects. The Dolby Digital decoder built in this receiver can create much more realistic sound field in your listening room. You may feel as if you were in a real theater. In addition, Dolby Digital enables stereo rear sounds, and sets the cutoff frequency of the rear treble at 20 kHz, compared to 7 kHz for Dolby Pro Logic. These facts enhance the sound movement and being-there feelings much more than Dolby Pro Logic.

• To enjoy the software encoded with Dolby Digital, you must

connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver. (See page 7.)

Notes:

• The DSP modes have no effect on monaural sources.

• The

PRO LOGIC

decoder built in this receiver is activated.

indicator lights up when the Dolby Pro Logic

DTS Digital Surround

DTS Digital Surround is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software. Compared to Dolby Digital, audio compression rate 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.

• To enjoy the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround, you

must connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver. (See page 7.)

DAP modes

In order to reproduce a more acoustic sound field in your listening room while playing soundtracks of stereo sources, you can use DAP modes. This mode can be used when the front speakers and the

rear speakers are connected to this receiver (without respect to the center speaker connection).

You can select one of the following to your preference.

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.

Reproducing the Sound Field

The sound heard in a concert hall or club 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. JVC Theater Surround and DAP modes can create these important elements, and give you a real “being there” feeling.

COMPU LINK Remote Control System

The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate JVC audio components through the remote sensor on the receiver.

To use this remote control system, you need to connect JVC audio components through the COMPU LINK (SYNCHRO) jacks (see below) in addition to the connections using cables with RCA pin plugs (see pages 5 and 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 complete.

CD recorder

COMPU LINK-4

(SYNCHRO)

CD player

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. (For example, the CD player in the diagram above.)

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

LINK remote control system, set the source name correctly. (See page 12.)

• 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 27 and 28.

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

The connected components turn on and off (standby) along with the receiver. When you turn on the receiver, one of the connected component will turn on automatically, depending on which component has been previously selected. When you turn off the receiver, the connected components 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.

English

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.
