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
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 17 for details.)
K2 technology
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

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.
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.

Precautions
General
• 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.
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.
Locations
• Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from
moisture and dust.
• The temperature around the receiver must be between –5˚C and
35˚C (23˚F and 95˚F).
Ventilation

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
• Do not insert any metal object into the receiver.
• 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 receiver or remove screws, covers, or

Placing speakers
Front speakers (L/R) and center speaker (C)
• Place these speakers at the same height from the floor, at or near
ear level.
• Array across the front of the viewing area.
Surround speakers (LS/RS) and surround back speakers (SB)
• Place these speakers at a position which is 60 cm to 90 cm
(2 ft to 3 ft) higher than the listener’s ears.
• Point these speakers directly across the listening area, but not at
the listener’s ears.
Subwoofer
• You can place it wherever you like since bass sound is nondirectional. Normally place it in front of you.
Speaker layout
Ideal speaker layout varies depending on the conditions of your
listening room. The diagram below is a recommended typical
example.

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 24.)

CAUTION:
Do not place the center speaker on the TV. If you do so, the center
speaker may cause various troubles to the TV (for example, color
unevenness). Moreover, it may hurt you by its falling from the TV.

IMPORTANT:
This receiver is equipped with the following video jacks—composite
video, S-video and component video jacks. You can use any of the
three to connect a video component.
However, the video signals from one type of these input jacks are
transmitted only through the video output jacks of the same
type.
Therefore, if a recording video component and a playing video
component are connected to the receiver through the video jacks of
different type, you cannot record the picture. In addition, if the TV and
a playing video component are connected to the receiver through the
video jacks of different type, you cannot view the playback picture on
the TV.
