Note:

When connecting a JVC TV:

• If you use the AV COMPU LINK remote control system to operate the TV, connect the receiver to the Video Input 2 jack on the TV.

• If you do not use the AV COMPU LINK remote control system to operate TV, connect the receiver to the Video Input 1 jack on the TV.

If your video components have an AV COMPU LINK terminal

The AV COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to control other JVC video components from the receiver or vice versa. For detailed information about the connection and the AV COMPU LINK remote control system, see page

36.

Notes:

• The AV COMPU LINK remote control system cannot control the video components connected to the VIDEO jacks on the receiver, but can control only the VCR connected to the VCR jacks.

• Some VCRs use the AV COMPU LINK jacks for the SWAP editing. However, you cannot use both the AV COMPU LINK remote control and the SWAP editing at the same time. For the SWAP editing, see the manual supplied with the VCR.

Page 9

Connecting the Power Cord

Before plugging the receiver into an AC outlet, make sure that all connections have been made. When the power cord is connected, the STANDBY lamp above the POWER button lights up.

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.

Notes:

• A small amount of power is always consumed even in standby mode. To switch off the power completely, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.

• If the power cord is unplugged or a power failure occurs, preset settings will be erased in a few days.

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.

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

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

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.

Using the Surround Processor

SURROUND MODE

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

What is 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.

Reflections from behind

Early reflections

Direct sound

On JVC’s Hall Surround

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

DOLBY 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.

COMPU LINK Remote Control System

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

8).

CD player

Cassette deck

COMPU LINK – 3

(SYNCHRO)

Turntable

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 38 and 39.

Note:

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

7 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 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 (only possible with the COMPU LINK-3 connection)

Both the CD player and cassette deck turn on and off 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, both the CD player and cassette deck will turn off.

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.

AV COMPU LINK Remote Control System

The AV COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate JVC video components (TV and VCR) through the receiver.

CONNECTIONS:

To use this remote control system, you need to connect the video components you want to operate, following the procedures below.

CAUTION:

The AV COMPU LINK remote control system cannot control the video components connected to the VIDEO jacks on the receiver. Use only VCR jacks for the VCR jacks.

1. Connect your VCR and TV as follows, using the cables with the monaural mini-plugs (not

FUNCTIONS:

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

Note:

Refer also to the manuals supplied with your video components.

7 Remote Control of the TV through the Remote Sensor on the Receiver

You can control the TV through the remote sensor on the receiver using this remote control. For details, see page 39.

Note:

Aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the receiver when operating the TV. (However, to operate the VCR, always aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the VCR.)

7 One-Touch Video Play

Simply by inserting a video cassette without its safety tab into the VCR, you can enjoy the video playback without setting other switches manually. The receiver automatically turns on and changes the source to “VCR.” The TV automatically turns on and changes the input mode to the position you can view the VCR playback. When you insert a video cassette with its safety tab, press the play ( control. So, you can get the same result.

Note:

When you connect an S-VHS VCR as described on page 36, you cannot see the on-screen displays (such as Visual Confirmation and Menus) since the AV COMPU LINK Remote Control System automatically changes the TV input mode to “Video input 1” when you operate the S-VHS VCR. If you do not mind stopping watching the picture, you can then show the on-screen displays after changing the TV input mode to the position (Video input 2) the receiver is connected to.

3) button on the VCR or on the remote

7 Automatic Selection of TV’s Input Mode

• When you select “TV SOUND” as the source to play on the receiver, the TV automatically changes the input mode to the TV tuner so that you can watch TV.

• When you select “VIDEO” as the source to play on the receiver, the TV automatically changes the input mode to the Video Input 2 so that you can watch the playback picture.

• When you select “VCR” as the source to play on the receiver, the TV automatically changes the input mode to the correct position (either Video Input 1 or 2) so that you can watch the playback picture.

Note:

When you select “TV SOUND” as the source on the receiver, you cannot see the on-screen displays (such as Visual Confirmation and the menu function) since the AV COMPU LINK remote control system automatically changes the TV’ input mode to the TV tuner. If you do not mind stopping listening to the TV sounds, you can then show the on-screen displays after changing the TV input mode to the position (Video input 2) the receiver is connected to.

7 Automatic Power On/Off

The TV and VCR turn on and off along with the receiver. When you turn on the receiver;

• If the previously selected source is “VCR,” the TV and VCR will turn on automatically.
