Introduction

We would like to thank you for purchasing one of our JVC products.

Before operating this unit, read this manual carefully and thoroughly to obtain the best possible performance

from your unit, and retain this manual for future reference.

Features

CC (Compensative Compression) converter —ONLY for RX-8030VBK

CC Converter eliminates jitter and ripples, achieving a drastic reduction in digital distortion by processing the digital music data in 24 bit–quantization and by expanding the sampling frequency to 128 kHz (for fs 32 kHz signals)/176.4 kHz (for fs 44.1 kHz signals)/192 kHz (for fs 48 kHz signals). By using the CC Converter, you can obtain a natural sound field from any source. (See page 21 for details.)

K2 technology—ONLY for RX-8030VBK

K2 technology has been designed to enable natural audio reproduction, achieving a drastic reduction in digital distortion and creating original sound ambience with high precision.

Compatible with various audio formats including DTS 96/24

RX-8030VBK and RX-7030VBK/RX-7032VSL allow you to enjoy a newly introduced audio format such as Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS-ES, DTS Neo:6, and DTS 96/24.

• This unit is also compatible with Dual Mono signals recorded in Dolby Digital and DTS discs.

DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor)

Sound field simulation technology allows precise ambience recreation of existing theaters and halls. Thanks to the highperformance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and high-capacity memory, you can enjoy multi-channel surround sound by playing 2-channel or multi-channel software according to the speaker setting.

Precautions

Power sources

• When unplugging the receiver from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the AC power cord.

• Do not handle the AC power cord with wet hands.

• If you are not going to operate the receiver for an extended period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.

Ventilation

High power amplifiers built in this receiver will generate heat inside the cabinet. For safety, observe the following carefully.

• Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the receiver.

• Do not block the ventilation openings or holes. (If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)

Others

• Should any metallic object or liquid fall onto the unit, unplug the unit and consult your dealer before operating any further.

• Do not expose this apparatus to rain, moisture, dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases shall be placed on the apparatus.

• Do not disassemble the unit since there are no user serviceable parts inside.

If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your JVC dealer.

Multi-channel headphone virtual surround sound—3D HEADPHONE Mode

The built-in headphone virtual surround system is compatible with Multi-channel software like Dolby Digital, DTS Surround, etc. Thanks to the new signal processing algorithms used by the highperformance DSP, you can enjoy a natural surround sound through the headphones.

Getting Started

This section explains how to connect audio/video components and speakers to the receiver, and how to connect the power supply.

Before Installation

General Precautions

• 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 –5˚C and 35˚C (23˚F and 95˚F ).

• 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

If the remote control cannot transmit signals or operate the receiver correctly, replace the batteries. Use two R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell batteries.

Notes:

• Supplied batteries are for the initial setup. Replace for continued use.

• After replacing the batteries, set the manufacturers’ codes again (see pages from 47 to 49).

CAUTION:

Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:

• Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity: (+) 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.

Connecting the FM and AM Antennas

FM Antenna Connections

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.

Putting Batteries in the Remote Control

Before using the remote control, insert the two supplied batteries first.

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

1. Press and slide the battery cover on the back of the remote control.

2. Insert the batteries.

• Make sure to match the polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

3. Replace the cover.

FM Antenna (supplied)

You can connect the following speakers:

• Two pairs of front speakers to produce normal stereo sound.

• One pair of surround speakers to enjoy the surround effect.

• One surround back speaker or one pair of surround back speakers

to enjoy to produce more effective surround effect.

• One center speaker to emphasize human voices.

• One subwoofer to enhance the bass.

CAUTION:

Use only the speakers of the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by the speaker terminals.

• When connecting to both of the FRONT SPEAKERS 1 and 2

• When connecting to either the FRONT SPEAKERS 1 or 2

terminals, use speakers with an impedance of 16 Ω to 32 Ω.

Placing speakers

Front speakers and center speaker

• Place these speakers (position of the mid-range speaker units) at the same

height from the floor.

• Point these speakers aiming at the listener’s ears.

Surround and surround back speakers

• Place these speakers at a position which is 1 meter higher than the listener’s

ears.

• Point these speakers down aiming at the listener’s ears.

Subwoofer

• You can place it wherever you like since bass sound is non-directional.

Normally place it in front of you.

Note:

Ideal speaker layout requires that all speakers be placed at the same distance from the listener. However, since in some places it may be difficult to fulfil this requirement, this unit can adjust the delay time so that the sounds through all the speakers reach the listener with the same timing. (See page 28.)

IMPORTANT:

After connecting the speakers, set the speaker installation information properly. You can use Quick Speaker Setup for
