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

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.

AM Loop Antenna (supplied)

Basic connecting procedure

1 Twist and remove the insulation at

the end of each speaker signal cable (not supplied).

2 Open the speaker terminal.

Snap the tabs on the loop into the slots of the base to assemble the AM loop.

Outdoor single vinyl-covered wire (not supplied)

Notes:

• If the AM loop antenna wire is covered with vinyl, remove the vinyl by twisting it as illustrated.

• 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 (not supplied) to the AM EXT terminal. (Keep the AM loop antenna connected.)

Connecting the Speakers

RX-7030VBK/RX-7032VSL

(For FRONT SPEAKERS 2 terminals)

3 Insert the speaker signal cable.

4 Close the speaker terminal.

For each speaker (except for a subwoofer), connect the (+) and (–) terminals on the rear panel to the (+) and (–) terminals marked on the speakers.

Speaker layout

Ideal speaker layout varies depending on the conditions of your listening room. The diagram below is a recommended typical example.

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.

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.)

Using the Surround Modes

DIGITAL

This unit activates a variety of Surround modes automatically. The basic settings and adjustments stored (see pages 25 to 33) are applied.

Reproducing Theater Ambience

In a movie theater, many speakers are located on the walls to reproduce impressive multi-surround sounds, reaching you from all directions. With these many speakers, sound localization and sound movement can be expressed.

Surround modes built in this receiver can create almost the same surround sounds as you can feel in a real movie theater—with only five to seven speakers (plus subwoofer).

Introducing the Surround Modes

Dolby Digital*

Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed by Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and decoding (1ch up to 5.1ch).

• When Dolby Digital signal is detected through the digital input, the

Dolby Digital 5.1CH

Dolby Digital 5.1CH (DOLBY D) encoding method records and digitally compresses the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left surround channel, right surround channel, and LFE channel signals (total 6 channels, but the LFE channel is counted as 0.1 channel. Therefore, called 5.1 channel). Dolby Digital enables stereo surround sounds, and sets the cutoff frequency of the surround treble at 20 kHz, compared to 7 kHz for Dolby Pro Logic. As such, the sound movement and “being-there” feeling are enhanced much more than Dolby Pro Logic.

Dolby Digital EX

Dolby Digital EX (DOLBY D EX) is a digital surround encoding format that adds the third surround channels, called “surround back.” Compared to the conventional Dolby Digital 5.1CH, these newly added surround back channels can reproduce more detailed movements behind you while viewing the video software. In addition, surround sound localization will become more stable.

• You can use Virtual 6.1-channel surround when playing back Dolby Digital EX software without connecting the surround back speakers. This surround reallocates the surround back channel to the surround speakers so that you can still feel the great surround effect from behind. The VIRTUAL SB (Surround Back) indicator lights up on the display.

Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Surround encoding format records the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, and surround channel (monaural) signals into 2 channels. The Dolby Pro Logic (PRO LOGIC) decoder built in this receiver decodes these 2 channel signals into 4 original channel signals (plus subwoofer)—matrix-based multi-channel reproduction.

• When Dolby Pro Logic is activated, the lights up on the display.

indicator

34

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II is a multi-channel playback format to convert 2channel software into 5-channel (plus subwoofer). The matrix-based conversion method used for Dolby Pro Logic II makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the surround treble and enables stereo surround sound.

• This receiver provides two types of Dolby Pro Logic II modes— Pro Logic II Movie (PLII MOVIE) and Pro Logic II Music (PLII MUSIC). When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the indicator lights up on the display.

DTS 96/24

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in higher sampling rates both for recording and for reproducing at home. Higher sampling rates allow wider frequency range and greater bit depths provide extended dynamic range. DTS 96/24 is a multi-channel digital signal format (fs 96 kHz/24 bits) introduced by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. to deliver “better- than-CD sound quality” into the home.

• When DTS 96/24 signal is detected, the 96/24 indicator lights up. You can enjoy its 5.1-channel sound with full-quality.

PLII MOVIE: Suitable for playing any Dolby Surround

encoded software. You can enjoy a sound field very close to the one created with discrete 5.1channel sounds.

PLII MUSIC: Suitable for playing any 2-channel stereo

software. You can enjoy wide and deep sounds.

2

DTS*

DTS is another digital signal compression method, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., and enables multi-channel encoding and decoding (1ch up to 6.1ch).

• When DTS signal is detected through the digital input, the indicator lights up on the display.

DTS Digital Surround

DTS Digital Surround (DTS) is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software. Compared to Dolby Digital, the DTS Digital Surround format has a lower audio compression rate which enables it to add breadth and depth to the sounds reproduced. As such, DTS Digital Surround features natural, solid, and clear sound.

• When EX/ES setting is set to “ON,” DTS Neo:6 (DTS NEO:6) is

applied while playing back multi-channel DTS software. It creates the same surround ambience as 6.1-channel software does.

DTS Extended Surround (DTS-ES)

DTS-ES is another multi-channel digital encoding format. It greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and space expression by adding the third surround channel—surround back channel. DTS-ES includes two signal formats with different surround signal recording methods—DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch (ES DSCRETE) and

DTS-ES Matrix 6.1ch (ES MATRIX). DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch has been designed to encode (and decode)

a 6.1-channel signal discretely to avoid interference with each channel. DTS-ES Matrix 6.1ch has been designed to add an extra surround channel to DTS Digital Surround 5.1-channel. By using a matrix encoding/decoding method, an additional “surround back” channel signal is encoded (and decoded) in both the left and right surround channel signals.

• You can use Virtual 6.1-channel surround when playing back

DTS-ES software without connecting the surround back speakers. This surround reallocates the surround back channel to the surround speakers so that you can still feel the great surround effect from behind. The VIRTUAL SB (Surround Back) indicator lights up on the display.

DTS Neo:6

DTS Neo:6 is another conversion method to create 6-channel (plus subwoofer) from analog/digital 2-channel software by using the high precision digital matrix decoder used for DTS-ES Matrix 6.1ch. When one of Neo:6 modes is activated, the NEO:6 indicator lights up on the display.

• This receiver provides the following DTS NEO:6 modes—Neo:6 Cinema (NEO:6CINMA) and Neo:6 Music (NEO:6MUSIC).

NEO:6CINMA: Suitable for playing movies. You can get the

same atmosphere with 2-channel software as with 6.1-channel software. It is also effective for playing software encoded with conventional surround formats.

NEO:6MUSIC: Suitable for playing music software. The front

channel signals bypass the decoder (resulting in no loss of sound quality) and the surround signals transmitted through the other speakers expand the sound field naturally.

What is Dual Mono?

Dual Mono can be easily understood when you think of the bilingual broadcast or the MTS (Multichannel Television Sound) used for TV programs (however, the Dual Mono format is not identical with those analog formats). This format is now adopted in Dolby Digital, DTS, and so on. It allows two independent channels (called main channel and subchannel) to be recorded separately.

• When Dual Mono signal is detected, the DUAL indicator lights up. You can select either channel you want to listen to (see page

29).

When using the Surround mode, the sounds come out of the avtivated speakers which the Surround mode requires.

• If the surround speakers and center speaker are set to

“NONE” in the speaker setting, JVC’s original 3D-PHONIC processing (which has been developed to create the surround effect through the front speakers only) is used. The 3D-PHONIC indicator lights up on the display.

Using the DSP Modes

This unit activates a variety of DSP modes automatically. The basic settings and adjustments stored (see pages 25 to

33) are applied automatically.

Reproducing the Sound Field

The sound heard in a concert hall, club, etc. 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 DSP modes can create these important elements, and give you a real “being there” feeling.

Automatic Power On/Off (Standby)—only possible with the COMPU LINK-3 and COMPU LINK-4

The connected components turn on and off (standby) along with the receiver. When you turn on the receiver, one of the connected components 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 (or MD recorder) starts recording as soon as a CD begins playing.

To use synchronized recording, follow these steps:

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.

• To operate the target component using the COMPU LINK remote

control system, set the source name correctly if required. (See page 21.)

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

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 44 and 45.

1. Put a tape in the cassette deck (or an MD in the MD recorder), and a disc in the CD player.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

COMPU LINK/AV COMPU LINK remote control systems

These COMPU LINK remote control systems allow you to operate other JVC’s audio/video components from this receiver.

Getting Started

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

English

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.

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

2 Open the speaker terminal.

English

Snap the tabs on the loop into the slots of the base to assemble the AM loop.

Outdoor single vinyl-covered wire (not supplied)

Notes:

• If the AM loop antenna wire is covered with vinyl, remove

the vinyl by twisting it as illustrated.

• 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

(not supplied) to the AM EXT terminal. (Keep the AM loop antenna connected.)

Connecting the Speakers

RX-7030VBK

(For FRONT SPEAKERS 2 terminals)

3 Insert the speaker signal cable.

4 Close the speaker terminal.

For each speaker (except for a subwoofer), connect the (+) and (–) terminals on the rear panel to the (+) and (–) terminals marked on the speakers.

Speaker layout

Ideal speaker layout varies depending on the conditions of your listening room. The diagram below is a recommended typical example.

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.

terminals, use speakers with an impedance of 8 Ω to 16 Ω.

IMPORTANT:

After connecting the speakers, set the speaker installation information properly. You can use Quick Speaker Setup for easy speaker installation information setting (see page 25).

• To obtain the best possible Surround/DSP effect, see “Setting the Speakers” on page 27.

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.)
