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.

When an emergency broadcast (ALARM signal) is sent from an
FM station:
The receiver automatically tunes in the station except in the
following cases:
• When you are listening to non-RDS stations (all AM — MW/LW
and some FM stations).
• When the receiver is in standby mode.
While receiving an emergency broadcast, “ALARM” appears on the
display.
The TEST signal is used for equipment test — whether it can
receive the ALARM signal correctly.
The TEST signal makes the receiver work in the same way as the
ALARM signal does. If the TEST signal is received, the receiver
automatically switches to the station broadcasting the TEST signal.
While receiving the test signal, “TEST” appears on the display.
Notes:
• EON data sent from some stations may not be compatible with this
receiver.
• In EON standby mode, if you carry out synchronized recording (see
page 31), EON standby mode is canceled temporarily. The receiver
goes back to EON standby mode again when you have finished
that operation.
• The EON mode only works when receiving an FM station with the
EON code. (The EON indicator lights up while receiving an AM
station but the EON function will not work.)
• While listening to a program tuned in by the EON function, you
cannot use source selecting buttons and PTY SEARCH button.
CAUTION:
When the source alternates intermittently between the station tuned in
by the EON function and the currently selected source, press EON to
cancel the EON function.
If you do not press the button, the currently tuned station is received
finally, and the indication of the EON program type flashing on the
display disappears.
The receiver continues to receive the station, but the indicator
of received PTY code starts flashing.

When the program is over, the indicator of received PTY code
stops flashing and remains lit, but the receiver remains in EON
standby mode.
To stop listening to the program selected by EON
Press EON so that the program type (TA/NEWS/INFO) indicator
goes off from the display. The receiver enters EON off mode and
goes back to the previously selected source.
• Each time you press EON, the EON mode alternates between
standby mode and off mode.

Using the DSP Modes
The built-in Surround Processor provides two types of the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) mode — Surround mode and
DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) mode.
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).
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 8.)
*
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
DOLBY SURROUND
), you can use JVC
Theater Surround.
Notes:
• The DSP modes have no effect on monaural sources.
• When you select “DVD MULTI” as the source to play, you cannot
select or adjust the DSP modes.
• 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 8.)
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.
DVD MULTI Playback Mode
This receiver provides the DVD MULTI playback mode for
reproducing the analog discrete 5.1 channel output mode of the
DVD player or other equipment.
You can adjust the DVD MULTI playback mode while playing
back a video software such as a DVD using the analog discrete
5.1 channel output mode.
• For the DVD MULTI playback mode connection, see page 7.
• For details on the DVD MULTI playback mode, see page 30.
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 player
Cassette deck
or
CD recorder
COMPU LINK-4
(SYNCHRO)
Turntable
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
turntable or 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 13.)
• Refer also to the manuals supplied with your audio components.
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 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 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 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.
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.
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.
