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 (Compression Compensative) 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

This unit allows you to enjoy an 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.

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 signal processing algorithms used by the highperformance DSP, you can enjoy a natural surround sound through the headphones.

COMPU LINK remote control system

The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate other JVC’s audio components from this receiver.

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 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 27.)

B, PR) terminals, connect them using an S-

video cable (not supplied) and/or component video cable (not supplied). By using these jacks, you can get better picture quality in the order:

Component video > S-video > Composite video

• If your video components have digital audio output terminal, connect them using the digital cords explained in “Digital connections” (see page 12). By using this terminal, you can get better sound quality.

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.

Receiving FM Stations with RDS

RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular program signals. For example, the stations send their station names, as well as information about what type of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.

• When tuned in to an FM station which provides the RDS service, the RDS indicator lights up on the display.

With the receiver, you can receive the following types of RDS signals.

PS (Program Service) Shows commonly known station names.

PTY (Program Type) Shows types of broadcast programs.

RT (Radio Text) Shows text messages the station sends.

Enhanced Other Networks

Provides the information about the types of the programs sent by other RDS stations of the different Networks than the one being received.

To show the RDS information

You can see the RDS information the station sends on the display.

DISPLAY MODE

Press DISPLAY MODE on the remote control while listening to an FM station.

• Each time you press the button, the display changes to show you the following information:

PTY

Canceled

Notes:

• RDS is not available for AM (MW) broadcasts.

• Not all FM stations provide RDS signals, nor do all RDS stations

provide the same services. If in doubt, check with local radio stations for details on RDS in your area.

• RDS may not operate correctly if the station tuned is not transmitting RDS signal properly or if the signal strength is weak.

PS (Program Service) While searching, “PS” appears and then the

station names will be displayed. “NO PS” appears if no signal is sent.

PTY (Program Type) While searching, “PTY” appears and then

the type of the broadcast program will be displayed. “NO PTY” appears if no signal is sent.

RT (Radio Text) While searching, “RT” appears and then

text messages the station sends will be displayed. “NO RT” appears if no signal is sent.

Notes:

• When you press DISPLAY MODE on the remote control, be sure that they are activated for the tuner, not for the DVD and othres. (See page 42.)

• If searching finishes at once, “PS,” “PTY,” and “RT” will not appear on the display.

• Some special characters and marks may not be displayed correctly. (The display cannot show accented letters, “A,” for instance, may stand for accented “A’s” like “Å, Ä, Ã, Á, À, and Â.”)

Searching for a Program by PTY Codes

One of the advantages of the RDS service is that you can locate a particular kind of program from the preset channels (see page 19) by specifying the PTY codes.

To search for a program using the PTY codes

Before you start, remember...

• To stop searching any time during the process, press PTY SEARCH while searching.

• There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the setting is canceled before you finish, start from step 1 again.

1. Press PTY SEARCH while listening to an FM

station.

“PTY SELECT” flashes on the display.

2. Press PTY9 or PTY( until the PTY code you

want appears on the display, while “PTY SELECT” is flashing.

• Each time you press the button, the PTY codes change as follows:

• For details about each PTY code, see the right column.

3. Press PTY SEARCH again, while the PTY code selected in the previous step is still on the display.

While searching, the selected PTY code and “SEARCH” alternate on the display. The receiver searches 30 preset FM stations, stops when it finds the one you have selected, and tunes in to that station.

To continue searching after the first stop

Press PTY SEARCH again while the indications on the display are flashing. If no program is found, “NOT FOUND” appears on the display.

Note:

When the RDS operation buttons do not work for RDS operation, select the source as FM again using the remote control.

Switching to a Program of Your Choice Automatically

Another convenient RDS service is called “Enhanced Other Networks.” This allows the receiver to switch temporarily to a broadcast program of your choice (TA, NEWS, and/or INFO) from a different source except in the following cases:

• When you are listening to non-RDS Networks—all AM (MW) and

some FM stations.

• When the last received FM station is a non-RDS Networks.

• When the receiver is in standby mode.

Before you start, remember...

• The Enhanced Other Networks function is only applicable to

preset FM stations.

• You can use the Enhanced Other Networks function while

listening to any source. However, to use the RDS operation buttons on remote control, the remote control operation mode must be for the tuner operations mode (see page 41).

Press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly to select the program type(s) you want.

• Each time you press the button, the program type(s) change, and

the corresponding indicators light up on the display.

Using the Surround Modes

This unit activates a variety of Surround modes automatically. The basic settings and adjustments stored (see pages 24 to 32) 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

DIGITAL

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 reproduce the back sound field as if the surround back speakers exist, 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 lights up on the display.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II is a multi-channel playback format to convert 2-channel software into 5-channel (plus subwoofer). The matrixbased 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 indicators light up. You can enjoy its 5.1-channel sound with fullquality.

and 96/24

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.

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 DSCRT) 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 reproduce the back sound field as if the surround back speakers exist, 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).

When DTS NEO:6 is activated, the NEO:6 indicator lights up on the display.

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) format 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

28).

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

• If either the surround speakers or center speaker is set to

“NONE” in the speaker setting, the corresponding channel signals are allocated to and emitted through the front speakers.

• If both 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 24 to

32) 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. DSP 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’s audio components through the remote sensor on the receiver.

To use this remote control system, you need to connect JVC’s audio components through the COMPU LINK (SYNCHRO) jacks (see below) in addition to the connections using cables with RCA pin plugs (see pages 9).

• 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.

COMPULINK-4

(SYNCHRO)

CD player

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 cassette deck or CD recorder using the COMPU

LINK remote control system, set the source name correctly if required. (See page 17.)

• Refer also to the manuals supplied for 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 41 and 42.

Automatic Source Selection

When you press the play (3) button on a connected component or 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.

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 starts recording as soon as a CD begins playing.

To use synchronized recording, follow these steps:

1. Put a tape in the cassette deck, and a disc in the CD player.

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.

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.
