IMPORT ANT:

This receiver is equipped with both the composite video and S-video input terminals for the DVD player connection. 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 terminal are output only through the composite video output terminals, while the ones from the S-video input terminal are output only through the S-video output terminal.

Therefore, if your DVD player is connected to the receiver only through the S-video input terminal, you cannot record the picture from the DVD player on the VCR. In addition, if the TV and the DVD player are connected to the receiver through the different video terminals, you cannot view the playback picture from the DVD player on the TV.

Connecting the Power Cord

Putting Batteries in the Remote Control

Before plugging the receiver into an AC outlet, make sure that all connections have been made.

Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.

Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables and the 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.

Note:

The preset settings such as preset channel and sound adjustment may be erased in a few days in the following cases:

– When you unplug the power cord. – When a power failure occurs.

Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries 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, remove the

battery cover as illustrated.

2. Insert batteries. Make sure to observe the proper

polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F)

CAUTIONS:

• Do not touch the power cord with wet hands.

• Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the cord. When unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage the cord.

3. Replace the cover.

If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace the batteries. Use two R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell batteries.

CAUTION:

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.

Using the DSP Modes

DOLBY SURROUND

The built-in Surround Processor provides three types of the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) mode — 3D-PHONIC mode, DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) mode and Surround mode (Dolby Pro Logic and JVC Theater Surround.)

3D-PHONIC modes

The 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. The 3D-PHONIC mode is the result of research on sound localization technology carried out at JVC for many years. This mode is selected when two front speakers are

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

You can select either 3D ACTION or 3D THEATER to your preference.

3D ACTION: Best for action and war movies — where the

action is fast and explosive.

3D THEA TER: Reproduces the sound field of a large theater.

Surround Modes

With this receiver, you can use two types of the Surround modes.

• 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

* which includes the same encoded surround information as found in Dolby Stereo films, the receiver can provide you with Dolby Surround decoder. There are two types of Dolby Surround – “Pro Logic” and “3 Stereo.”

“Pro Logic” can be used when the front speakers and rear speakers are connected to this receiver (regardless of the center speaker connection). On the other hand, “3 Stereo” can be used when the rear speakers are not connected (center speaker must be connected).

• JVC Theater Surround

In order to reproduce a more realistic sound field in your listening room while playing soundtracks of video software bearing the mark

, JVC Theater Surround has been designed to give

you clearer vocals and to create a real “being there” feeling.

This mode can be used when the front speakers and rear speakers are connected to this receiver (without respect to the center speaker connection).

DAP modes

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. This mode can be used when the front

speakers are connected to this receiver (without respect to the rear/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.

Reflections from

Notes:

• The DSP modes have no effect on monaural sources.

• The DSP modes cannot be used for recording.

• When you select “DVD MULTI” as the source to play, you cannot

select or adjust the DSP modes.

IMPORTANT:

Before recording, turn off the DVD MULTI playback mode.

As for the DVD MULTI playback mode, see page 20.

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 (see below) in addition to the connections using cables with RCA pin plugs (see page 5).

• 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.

Cassette deck

MD recorder

COMPU LINK – 3

(SYNCHRO)

Turntable

Notes:

• If your audio component has two COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO)

jacks, you can use either one. If it has only one COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) jack, connect it so that it is the last item in the series of components. (For example, the turntable or CD player in the diagram above.)

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

LINK remote control system, set the source name correctly. (See page 11.)

• Refer also to the manuals supplied with your audio components.

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

Both the CD player and cassette deck (or MD recorder) turn on and off (standby) along with the receiver. When you turn on the receiver, the CD player or cassette deck (or MD recorder) 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 (or MD recorder) will turn off (standby).

Synchronized Recording

Synchronized recording means the cassette deck (or MD recorder) 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 (or an MD in the MD recorder), 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 (or MD recorder) at the same time.

This puts the cassette deck (or MD recorder) 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 or on the turntable.

The source changes on the receiver, and as soon as play starts, the cassette deck (or MD recorder) starts recording. When the play ends, the cassette deck (or MD recorder) enters recording pause, and stops about 4 seconds later.

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 32 and 33.

*What is a CD Text?

In a CD Text, some information about the disc (its disc title, performer, composer, arranger, etc.) is recorded.

Notes:

• If your audio component has two COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) jacks, you can use either one. If it has only one COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) jack, connect it so that it is the last item in the series of components. (For example, the CD player in the diagram to the left.)

• If your audio component has two TEXT COMPU LINK jacks, you can use either one. If it has only one TEXT 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 to the left.)

• “TEXT COMPULINK SOURCE NOT CONNECTED” appears on the display in the following cases:

– When the connections explained to the left are not correctly done. – When you try to use the TEXT COMPULINK function a few

seconds after you turn on the connected equipment. This is not a malfunction of the units.

• Refer also to the manuals supplied with your CD player or MD recorder.
