Video component connections

Use the cables with RCA pin plugs (not supplied). Connect the white plug to the audio left jack, the red plug to the audio right jack, and the yellow plug to the video jack. If DVD player and TV have S-video (Y/C-separation) terminals, connect them using Svideo cables (not supplied). Connecting these video components through the S-video input/output terminals will give you better picture playback quality.

IMPORTANT:

This receiver is equipped with both the composite video and S-video input terminals for the DVD player connection. You do not have to connect both the composite video and S-video terminals. However, remember that the video signals from the composite video input

terminal are output only through the composite video output terminals, while the ones from the S-video input terminal are output only through the S-video output terminal.

Therefore, if your DVD player is connected to the receiver only through the Svideo input terminal, you cannot record the picture from the DVD player on the VCR. In addition, if the TV and the DVD player are connected to the receiver through the different video terminals, you cannot view the playback picture from the DVD player on the TV.

Receiving Radio Broadcasts

English

Using the RDS (Radio Data System) to Receive FM Stations

RDS 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 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 EON (Enhanced Other Network): see page 34.

What Information Can RDS Signals Provide?

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

Using the DSP Modes

The built-in Surround Processor provides three types of the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) mode — 3DPHONIC mode, DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) mode and Surround mode (Dolby Pro Logic and Theater Surround.)

On 3D-PHONIC mode

The 3D-PHONIC mode gives you such a nearly surround effect as it is reproduced through the Dolby Surround decoder, which is widely used to reproduce sounds with a feeling of movement like those experienced in movie theaters. The 3D-PHONIC mode is the result of research on sound localization technology carried out at JVC for many years and makes it possible to reproduce the surround sound with only two front speakers.

On the DAP mode

The sound heard in a concert hall or club 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. The DAP mode can create these important elements, and gives you a real “being there” feeling.

Early reflections

Direct sounds

Reflections from behind

Notes:

• The DSP modes has no effect on monaural sources.

• You can not use the two types of the DSP modes at the same time.

• The DSP modes cannot be used for recording.

• When you select “DVD MULTI” as the source to play, you cannot select or adjust the DSP modes.

IMPORTANT:

Before recording, turn off the DVD MULTI playback mode.

English

On Surround mode

With this receiver, you can use two types of the surround mode.

Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Pro Logic has been developed to reproduce the important elements of the acoustic surround at home. To watch the soundtracks of video software bearing the mark includes the same encoded surround information as found in Dolby Stereo films, the receiver can provide you with Dolby Pro Logic.

JVC’s Theater Surround

In order to reproduce a more realistic sound field in your listening room while playing soundtracks of video software bearing the mark has been designed to give you clearer vocals and to create a real “being there” feeling.

Among the DAP modes, “Headphones” is very special. It can create the same stereo sound as you listen through the speakers off air while listening to a source using headphones. So, you can feel as if you were not using the headphones and listening to music in a room.

On the front panel:

1. Press DSP MODE.

The current DSP mode appears on the display.

2. Turn MULTI JOG until the mode (LIVE CLUB, DANCE CLUB, HALL, PAVILION, or HEADPHONE) you want appears on the display, while the indication of the previous step is still on the display.

The DSP indicator also lights up on the display. As you turn it, the DSP modes change as follows (the indicator of the selected DSP mode also lights up on the display):

Notes:

• When you select “DVD MULTI” as the source to play, you cannot select the DAP modes.

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.

English

To use this remote control system, you need to connect JVC audio components through the COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) jacks (see below) in addition to the connections using cables with RCA pin plugs (see page 14).

• 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.

COMPU LINK – 3

(SYNCHRO)

CD player

Cassette deck

MD recorder

Turntable

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 67 and 68.

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 to the left.)

• To operate the cassette deck or MD recorder using the COMPU LINK remote control system, set the source name correctly. (See page 23.)

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

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.

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

Both the CD player and cassette deck (or MD recorder) turn on and off (standby) along with the receiver. When you turn on the receiver, the CD player or cassette deck (or MD recorder) 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 (or MD recorder) will turn off (standby).

Synchronized Recording

Synchronized recording means the cassette deck (or MD recorder) 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 (or an MD in the MD recorder), 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 (or

MD recorder) at the same time.

This puts the cassette deck (or MD recorder) 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 or on the turntable.

The source changes on the receiver, and as soon as play starts, the cassette deck (or MD recorder) starts recording. When the play ends, the cassette deck (or MD recorder) 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.

Page 65

TEXT COMPU LINK Remote Control System

The TEXT COMPU LINK remote control system has been newly developed to deal with the disc information recorded in the CD Text* and MDs. Using these information in the discs, you can operate the CD player or MD recorder equipped with the TEXT COMPU LINK remote control system through the receiver.

English

CONNECTIONS:

To use this remote control system, you need to connect the CD player and/or MD recorder you want to operate, following the procedures below.

1. If you have already plugged your CD player, MD recorder, and this receiver into the AC outlets, unplug their AC power cords first.

2. Connect your CD player, MD recorder, and this receiver as follows, through the COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) jacks and TEXT COMPU LINK jacks.

*What is a CD Text?

In a CD Text, some information about the disc (its disc title, performer, composer, arranger, etc.) is recorded.

Notes:

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

• Refer also to the manuals supplied with your CD player or MD recorder.

4. Plug the AC power cords of these components above into the AC outlets.

5. When turning on these components for the first time, turn on the connected components first, then turn on this receiver.

FUNCTIONS:

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