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.

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.

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.)

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 10.)
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 19.

Getting started
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. T o switch of f 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.

Using the Surround Processor
The built-in surround processor provides three groups of Surround Processor modes — JVC 3D-PHONIC
mode, DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) mode, and surround modes (Dolby Surround and JVC Theater
Surround).
On JVC 3D-PHONIC mode
JVC 3D-PHONIC mode gives you such a
nearly surround effect as it is reproduced
through the Dolby Surround decoder, which
is widely used to reproduce sounds with a
feeling of movement like those experienced
in movie theaters. JVC 3D-PHONIC mode is
the result of research on sound localization
technology carried out at JVC for many
years and makes it possible to reproduce the
surround sound with only two front
speakers.
On the DAP mode
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. The DAP mode can create
these important elements, and gives you a
real “being there” feeling by using the front
speakers and rear speakers.

behind
Notes:
• The surround processor has no
effect on monaural sources.
• The surround processor cannot
be used for recording.
• You cannot use the two types
of the surround processor mode
at the same time.
• When you select “DVD MULTI”
as the source to play, you
cannot select or adjust 3DPHONIC, DAP or surround
modes.
On surround modes
With this receiver, you can use two types of

Dolby Surround
Dolby Surround has been developed to
reproduce the important elements of the
acoustic surround at home.
To watch the soundtracks of video software
bearing the mark
DOLBY SURROUND
* which
includes the same encoded surround
information as found in Dolby Stereo films,
the receiver can provide you with 2 Dolby
Surround modes (Dolby Pro Logic and
Dolby 3ch Logic).
Dolby Pro Logic: Select this mode when optional center and rear speakers are
connected.
Dolby 3ch Logic: Select this mode when a center speaker is connected without rear
speakers.
JVC Theater Surround
In order to reproduce a more realistic sound field in your listening room while playing
sound tracks of video software bearing the mark
DOLBY SURROUND
, JVC Theater Surround
has been designed to give you clear vocals and to create a real “being there” feeling.
The sound is reproduced through the front speakers, rear speakers and center
speaker.

Using the Surround Processor
Using the DAP Modes
You can use five DAP modes — “Dance Club, Live Club, Hall, Pavilion, and
Headphones.” These modes (except “Headphones”) require the front speakers and the
rear speakers, but do not require a center speaker to enlarge the sound field.
Among the DAP modes, “Headphones” is very special. It can create the same stereo
sound as you listen through the speakers off air while listening to a source using
headphones. So, you can feel as if you were not using the headphones and listening to
music in a room.

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-3 (SYNCHRO) jacks with the cable (monaural mini-plug supplied
with those components):
COMPU LINK – 3
(SYNCHRO)
CD player
Cassette deck
Turntable
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 JVC 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 page 43.
Notes:
•
Without connecting the audio
components with RCA pin plugs
as described on page 11, the
COMPU LINK remote control
system cannot operate the
components.
•
Refer also to the manuals
supplied with your audio
components.
Automatic Source Selection
When you press the play (
33
3) button on a connected component or on its own remote
33
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 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 (only possible with the COMPU LINK-3
connection)
Both the CD player and cassette deck turn on and off with the receiver.
When you turn on the receiver, the CD player or cassette deck 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 will turn off.
Synchronized Recording
Synchronized recording means the cassette deck starts recording as soon as a CD (or a
record) begins playing.
To use synchronized recording, follow these steps:
1 Put a tape in the cassette deck, and a disc in the CD player (or a record on the
turntable).
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 will not start.
3 Press the play (3) button on the CD player (or on the turntable).
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 your CD player is playing in
program mode, a 4-second
blank is recorded between tracks
so that the music scan feature
of your cassette deck can be
used on the recorded tape.
•
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.
