• 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.)

R03 (UM-4)/AAA (24F)

Page 11

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.

RDS allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular program signals. For example,

English

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 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

About characters shown on the display

When the display shows PS, PTY, or RT signals, the following characters are used.

• The display cannot differentiate upper case and lower case letters and always uses upper case letters.

• The display cannot show accented letters, “A”, for instance, may stand for accented “A’s” like “Å, Ä, Ã, Á, À, and Â.”

See also page 39.

Note:

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

What Information Can RDS Signals Provide?

DOLBY SURROUND

SURROUND MODE

English

What is surround?

Early reflections

Direct sound

The built-in surround processor provides three types of surround programs — Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby 3Channel Logic, and JVC’s Hall Surround.

The sound heard in a concert hall or a movie theater consists of direct sound and indirect sound: early reflections and reflections from behind. The reflected sounds are always delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls from the listener. These reflections are some of the most important elements of the acoustic surround.

On JVC’s Hall Surround

In order to reproduce a more realistic sound field in your listening

Reflections from behind

room while playing an ordinary stereo source, JVC’s Hall Surround has been designed to give you clear vocals and to create the feeling of a concert hall. The sound is reproduced through the front speakers and rear speakers.

On Dolby Surround

Dolby Surround has been also developed to reproduce the important elements of the acoustic surround at home. To watch the soundtracks of video software bearing the mark

* which includes the same encoded surround information as found in Dolby Stereo films, the receiver can provide you with 2 Dolby Surround programs (Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby 3ch Logic). Dolby Pro Logic: Select this mode when the optional rear speakers are connected (as well as a center speaker). Dolby 3ch Logic: Select this mode when a center speaker is connected without rear speakers.

* Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories Licensing

Corporation. “Dolby,” the double-D symbol, and “Pro Logic” are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

Using JVC’s Hall Surround

You need to connect one set of rear speakers to obtain the full effect. Once you have adjusted the Hall Surround, the receiver memorizes the settings.

COMPU LINK Remote Control System

The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate JVC audio components through the remote

English

sensor on the receiver. To use this remote control system, you need to connect JVC audio components through the COMPU LINK3 (SYNCHRO) jacks (see below) in addition to the connections using cables with RCA pin plugs (see page

9).

CD player

Notes:

• If your audio component has two COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) jacks, you can use either one. If it has only one COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) jack, connect it so that it is the last item in the series of components. (For example, the turntable or CD player in the diagram above.)

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

This remote control system allows you to use four functions listed below.

7 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. For details, see pages 42 and 43.

Note:

Aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the receiver.

7 Automatic Source Selection

When you press the play ( automatically turns on and changes the source to the component. On the other hand, if you select a new source on the receiver or the remote control, the selected component begins playing immediately. In both cases, the previously selected source continues playing without sound for a few seconds.

7 Automatic Power On/Off (Standby) (only possible with the COMPU LINK-3 connection)

Both the CD player and cassette deck turn on and off (into standby mode) along with the receiver. When you turn on the receiver, the CD player or cassette deck will turn on automatically, depending on which component has been previously selected. When you turn off the receiver (into standby mode), both the CD player and cassette deck will turn off (into standby mode).

7 Synchronized Recording

Synchronized recording means the cassette deck starts recording as soon as a CD or a record begins playing.

To use synchronized recording, follow these steps:

1 Put a tape in the cassette deck, and a disc in the CD player (or a record on the turntable). 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.

Note:

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 or on the turntable.

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 your CD player is playing in program mode, a 4-second blank is recorded between tracks so that the music scan feature of your cassette deck can be used on the recorded tape.

• 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.

Using the Remote Control

Using this remote control, you can operate audio/video components of not only JVC’s but also the other manufacturers’. To operate the other manufacturers’ components, see page 47.

Using the Remote Control for Operating JVC Audio/Video Components

IMPORTANT:

To operate JVC audio components using this remote control:

• You need to connect JVC audio components through the COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) jacks (see page

41) in addition to the connections using cables with RCA pin plugs (see page 9).

• Aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the receiver.

• Select a source with the buttons on the SOURCE SELECT section (outside panel) of the remote control, or press the buttons on the remote mode section (inside panel) of the remote control. If you select a source on the front panel or using the menu function, the remote control will not operate that source.
