Connecting the Speakers

Connecting the front speakers

You can connect the following speakers:

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

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

• One center speaker to produce more effective surround effect (to emphasize human voices).

• One subwoofer to enhance the bass.

For each speaker (except for subwoofer), connect the black (–) and red (+) terminals on the rear panel to the black (–) and red (+) terminals marked on the speakers. For connecting a subwoofer, see page 7.

CAUTION:

When connecting speakers, use speakers with the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by the speaker terminals.

Cut, twist and remove the insulation at the end of each speaker signal cable first, and then, connect the front speakers to the FRONT SPEAKERS terminals by using the cables. You can connect two pairs of front speakers (one pair to the FRONT SPEAKERS 1 terminals, and another pair to the FRONT SPEAKERS 2 terminals).

CAUTION:

When connecting speakers, use speakers with the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by the speaker terminals.

Notes:

• The required speaker impedance of the front speakers does not differ depending on whether both the FRONT SPEAKERS 1 and FRONT SPEAKERS 2 terminals are used or only one of them is used.

• The required speaker impedance of the front speakers differs depending on whether or not a center and/ or rear speakers are connected at the same time. Since there are four possible speaker connections with the receiver, check which one fits your case and use the speaker with the impedance described below.

English

CASE 1 When you connect only front speakers

Front Speaker

Use front speakers with 4 — 16 ohm impedance.

CASE 3 When you connect front and rear speakers

CASE 2 When you connect front speakers and a center

Use the following speakers;

• Front speakers: 8 — 16 ohm impedance

• Center speaker: 8 — 16 ohm impedance

Connecting Audio/Video Components

English

Audio component connections

You can connect the following audio/video components to this receiver using cables with RCA pin plugs (not supplied). Refer also to the manuals supplied with your components. If you want to connect a component not listed in the table below, refer to the manual supplied with it.

Audio Components Video Components

• Turntable • TV

• CD player • VCR(s)

• Cassette deck • Video disc player

• Video camera

Notes:

• If you connect a sound-enhancing device such as a graphic equalizer between the source components and this receiver, the sound output through this receiver may be distorted.

• Any turntables incorporating a small-output cartridge such as an MC (moving-coil type) must be connected to this receiver through a commercial head amplifier or step-up transformer. Direct connection may result in insufficient volume.

If a ground wire is provided for your turntable, connect the cable to the screw marked GND on the rear panel.

If your audio components have a COMPU LINK-3 terminal

The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to control other JVC audio components from the receiver or vice versa. Connect your audio components and the receiver with the cable (monaural mini-plug supplied with those components) as well as the connection above. For detailed information about the connection and the COMPU LINK-3 remote control system, see page 41.

Note:

The COMPU LINK-3 remote control system is the upgraded version of the COMPU LINK-1 and COMPU LINK-2. Even if your component has the COMPU LINK-1 or COMPU LINK-2 jacks, you can still connect it in the COMPU LINK-3 remote control system, but some functions may not work correctly.

Before plugging the receiver into an AC outlet, make sure that all connections have been made.

1. Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.

2. Press POWER to set it in the

_ON position.

The STANDBY lamp lights up. A small amount of power is always consumed.

To shut off the power completely:

Press POWER to set it in the —OFF position.

Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables for the TV, VCR, and antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. We recommend that you use a coaxial cable to connect the antenna, since it is well-shielded against interference.

The difference between the POWER switch and the STANDBY/ON button

• The POWER switch is the mains supply switch, allowing the receiver to connect to the mains supply. To shut off the power completely, press the POWER switch to set it in the —OFF position.

• The STANDBY/ON button is a functional on/off (standby) switch, and does not disconnect the receiver from the mains supply. A small amount of power is consumed even in standby mode for the receiver to accept signals from the remote control.

Note:

A preset settings such as preset channels and sound adjustments may be erased in the following cases:

• When you press POWER to set it in the —OFF position.

• When you unplug the power cord.

• When a power failure occurs.

CAUTIONS:

• Do not touch the power cord with wet hands.

• Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the cord. When unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage the cord.

Putting Batteries in the Remote Control

Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first. When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the receiver.

1. On the back of the remote control, remove the cover as illustrated.

2. Insert batteries. Make sure to observe the proper polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

3. Replace the cover in.

If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace the batteries. Use two R03 (UM-4)/AAA (24F) type dry-cell batteries.

Note:

When you replacing the batteries, finish it without delay; otherwise, the control signals you have stored are all erased. (See pages 45 and 47.)

CAUTIONS:

Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:

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