If your audio components have a COMPU LINK jack

See also page 28 for detailed information about the connection and the COMPU LINK remote control system.

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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 27.

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.
