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 your video components have S-video (Y/C-separation) terminals, connect them using S-video cables (not supplied). Connecting these video components through the S-video input/output terminals will give you better picture playback (or recording) quality.

IMPORTANT:

This receiver is equipped with both the composite video and S-video input/output terminals for connecting video components. 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 terminals are output only through the composite video output terminals, while the ones from the S-video input terminals are output only through the S-video output terminals.

Therefore, if a recording video component and a playing video component are connected to the receiver through the different video terminals, you cannot record the picture from the playing component on the recording component. In addition, if the TV and a playing video component are connected to the receiver through the different video terminals, you cannot view the playback picture from the playing component on the TV.

Connecting the Power Cord

Putting Batteries in the Remote Control

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

Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.

Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables and the 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.

Note:

The preset settings such as preset channels and sound adjustment may be erased in a few days in the following cases:

– 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.

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 battery cover.

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

R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F)

3. Replace the cover.

If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace the batteries. Use two R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell batteries.

Note:

After replacing the batteries, set the manufacturers’ codes again (see page 54).

CAUTION:

Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:

• Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity:

(+) 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.

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 27.

Notes:

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

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

What information can RDS signals provide?

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

Notes:

• When pressing DISPLAY MODE on the remote control, make sure that you have selected FM station using the remote control. If not, the DISPLAY MODE button does not work for tuner operation. (Pressing FM/AM activates the remote control for tuner operation.)

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

You can also show the RDS information on the TV screen.

To use this function, you need to connect the TV to the MONITOR OUT jack on the rear panel (see page 7), and set the TV’s input mode to the proper position to which the receiver is connected.

• When the TV’s input mode is incorrect; for example, a different

video input or TV tuner mode is selected, you cannot show the RDS information on the TV screen.

Switching to a Broadcast Program of Your Choice Temporarily

CASE 2

If there is a station broadcasting the program you have selected

Another convenient RDS service is called “EON (Enhanced Other Network).” The EON indicator lights up while receiving an FM station with the EON code. (The EON indicator also lights up while receiving an AM station but the EON function will not work.) This allows the receiver to switch temporarily to a broadcast program of your choice (NEWS, TA, and/or INFO) from a different station except in the following cases:

• When you are listening to non-RDS stations (all AM — MW/LW and some FM stations).

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

• When the receiver is in standby mode.

Before you start, remember...

• The EON function is only applicable to preset stations.

On the front panel ONLY:

1. Press EON so that the last selected

EON

program type appears on the display.

The receiver enters EON standby mode. When the receiver is in EON standby mode, the receiver is ready to receive the EON data (TA/NEWS/INFO) you select.

2. Press TA/NEWS/INFO until the

TA/NEWS/INFO

program type you want appears on the display.

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

The receiver changes the source (all sources except AM — MW/LW), and tunes in the station. The indicator of received PTY code starts flashing.

‘

When the program is over, the receiver goes back to the previously selected source, but still remains in EON standby mode. The indicator of received PTY code stops flashing and remains lit.

CASE 3

The receiver continues to receive the station, but the indicator of received PTY code starts flashing.

Notes:

• EON data sent from some stations may not be compatible with this

receiver.

• In EON standby mode, if you carry out synchronized recording (see

page 45), EON standby mode is canceled temporarily. The receiver goes back to EON standby mode again when you have finished that operation.

• The EON mode only works when receiving an FM station with the

EON code. (The EON indicator lights up while receiving an AM (MW/LW) station but the EON function will not work.)

• While listening to a program tuned in by the EON function, you

cannot use source selecting buttons and PTY SEARCH button.

• While listening to a program tuned in by the EON function, you

cannot perform the on-screen operations (pages 40 and 47).

CAUTION:

When the source alternates intermittently between the station tuned in by the EON function and the currently selected source, press EON to cancel the EON function. If you do not press the button, the currently tuned station is received finally, and the indication of the EON program type flashing on the display disappears.

Creating a Surround Field in Your Room

The built-in Surround Processor provides Surround mode and four types of the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) mode — DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) mode, 5 CH/4 CH Stereo mode, 3D-PHONIC mode, and HEADPHONE DSP mode. With this receiver, you can use a Surround mode and a DSP mode at the same time. Once you have adjusted Surround and/or DSP modes, the adjustments done for each source are memorized. You can also use on-screen menus for most of the operations mentioned in this section. For details, see page 40.

Surround modes

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

Following modes cannot be used when only the front speakers are connected to this receiver (without the rear speakers or center speaker).

Dolby Surround (Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic)

Used to watch the soundtracks of software encoded with Dolby Digital (bearing the mark (bearing the mark Dolby Surround encoding format records the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, and rear channel (total 4 channels) signals into 2 channels. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built in this receiver decodes these 2 channel signals into original 4 channel signals — matrix-based multichannel reproduction, and allows you to enjoy the realistic sound field in your listening room. On the other hand, Dolby Digital encoding method (so called a discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format) records and compresses the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left rear channel, right rear channel, and LFE channel (total 6 channels, but LFE channel is counted as 0.1 channel, therefore called 5.1 channels) signals digitally. Each channel is completely independent from other channel signals to avoid interference, therefore, you can obtain much better sound quality with much stereo and surround effects. The Dolby Digital decoder built in this receiver can create much more realistic sound field in your listening room. You may feel as if you were in a real theater. In addition, Dolby Digital enables stereo rear sounds, and sets the cutoff frequency of the rear treble at 20 kHz, comparing to 7 kHz for Dolby Pro Logic. These facts enhance the sound movement and being-there feelings much more than Dolby Pro Logic.

• To enjoy the software encoded with Dolby Digital, you must connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver. (See page 8.)

DOLBY SURROUND

DTS Digital Surround

DTS Digital Surround is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software encoded with DTS Digital Surround (bearing the mark Comparing to Dolby Digital, audio compression rate is relatively low. This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format to add breadth and depth to the reproduced sounds. As a result, DTS Digital Surround features natural, solid and clear sound.

• To enjoy the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround, you must connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver. (See page 8.)

DSP modes

With this receiver, you can use four types of the DSP mode.

DAP modes

In order to reproduce a more acoustic sound field in your listening room while playing music sources, you can use DAP modes. This

mode can be used when the front speakers are connected to this receiver (without respect to the rear/center speaker connection).

THEA TER 1: Reproduces the sound field of a large theater

(where the seating capacity about 1,000).

THEA TER 2: Reproduces the sound field of a small theater

(where the seating capacity about 300).

HALL 1: Gives clear vocal and the feeling of a large concert

hall (where the seating capacity about 1,000).

HALL 2: Gives clear vocal and the feeling of a small concert

hall (where the seating capacity about 300).

LIVE CLUB: Gives the feeling of a live music club with a low

ceiling.

DANCE CLUB:Gives a throbbing bass beat. PAVILION: Gives the spacious feeling of a pavilion with a

high ceiling.

5 CH/4 CH Stereo mode

You can create more powerful sound field for both of the digital and analog stereo sounds source. The 4 CH Stereo mode reproduces a sound field through the front left and right speakers and rear left and right speakers. The 5 CH Stereo mode adds the center channel element to the 4 CH Stereo sound field by outputting mixed left and right signals through the center speaker. This mode cannot be used

when only the front speakers are connected to this receiver without the rear speakers.

Note:

“5CH STEREO” is selected when setting the center speaker to “LARGE” or “SMALL,” and “4CH STEREO” is selected when setting the center speaker to “NONE” (see page 17).

3D-PHONIC modes

The 3D-PHONIC mode gives you such a nearly surround effect as 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. This mode can be used when the front speakers are

connected to this receiver (without respect to the rear/center speaker connection). When the 3D-PHONIC mode is reproduced

with the center speaker connected, you can feel as if actors on the screen actually speak in your room.

• You can select “3D ACTION” only when playing an analog or linear PCM (digital) source.

• You can select “3D DIGITAL” only when playing a source encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS Digital Surround.

3D ACTION: Best for action and war movies — where the

action is fast and explosive.

3D DIGITAL: Reproduces multichannel source encoded with

Dolby Digital or with DTS Digital Surround.

HEADPHONE DSP mode

The HEADPHONE DSP mode can create the stereo sound as if you listen through the speakers while listening to a source using headphones. So you can feel as if you were in a music room. This

mode can be used only when both of the front speakers are deactivated (see page 13.)

Reproducing the Sound Field

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 Surround and DSP modes can create these important elements, and give you a real “being there” feeling.

• When the line direct function is turned on, the Surround and DSP

modes are canceled temporarily (see page 14).

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 (or MD recorder) starts recording as soon as a CD 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.

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. (For example, the turntable or CD player in the diagram above.)

• To operate the cassette deck or MD recorder using the COMPU LINK remote control system, set the source name correctly. (See page 16.)

• Refer also to the manuals supplied with 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 51 and 52.

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.

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 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.

TEXT COMPU LINK Remote Control System

The TEXT COMPU LINK remote control system has been 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.

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 jacks and TEXT COMPU LINK jacks.

1) COMPU LINK jacks: Use the cables with the monaural

mini-plugs (not supplied with this receiver).

FUNCTIONS:

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

Displaying the Disc Information on the TV screen

Disc information such as its performer and disc title (and track titles only when a CD Text is selected) is shown on the TV screen.

Disc Search: Only for CD Player

This remote control system can allow you to search for discs by the performer, disc title, and music genre. With this disc search, you can easily find the disc you want to play.

Disc Title Input:

If your CD player or MD recorder has the disc memory function, you can input the following information about the normal audio CDs or MDs on the TV screen.

• For CDs: Performer, disc title, and music genre

• For MDs: Disc title and song titles

*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 in the left column.)

• “TEXT COMPULINK SOURCE NOT CONNECTED” appears on the display in the following cases:

– When the connections explained in the left column are not

correctly done.

– When you try to use the TEXT COMPU LINK function a few

seconds after you turn on the connected equipment. This is not a malfunction of the units.

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

IMPORTANT:

If you turn on the receiver before turning on the other components after connecting the components, the TEXT COMPU LINK remote control system does not work correctly. If this happens:

1. Turn off all the components including this receiver.

2. Turn on the connected components.

3. Turn on this receiver.

OPERATIONS:

To use this remote control system, you need to connect the TV to the MONITOR OUT jack on the rear panel (see page 7), and set the TV’s input mode to the proper position to which the receiver is connected. Make sure you have connected the CD player or

MD recorder equipped with the TEXT COMPU LINK remote control system. If not, you cannot use the following functions.
