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.

English

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.)

DIGITAL

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.)

) or with Dolby Surround

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).

THEATER 1: Reproduces the sound field of a large theater

(where the seating capacity about 1,000).

THEATER 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

English

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 ar e

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.

DVD MULTI Playback Mode

This receiver provides the DVD MULTI playback mode for reproducing the analog discrete 5.1 channel output mode of the DVD player or other equipment.

Notes:

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

select or adjust the Surround and DSP modes.

• The PRO LOGIC indicator lights up when the Dolby Pro Logic

decorder built in this receiver is activated.

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

modes are canceled temporarily (see page 14).

• No adjustment can be made for the HEADPHONE DSP mode.

You can adjust the DVD MULTI playback mode while playing back a video software such as a DVD using the analog discrete

5.1 channel output mode.

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 (SYNCHRO) jacks (see below) in addition to the connections using cables with RCA pin plugs (see pages 5 and 6).

• 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.

Automatic Source Selection

When you press the play ( 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 on the remote control, the selected component begins playing immediately. In both cases, the previously selected source continues playing without sound for a few seconds.

3) button on a connected component or

CD player

CD recorder

Cassette deck

MD recorder

COMPU LINK – 4

(SYNCHRO)

Turntable

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 49 and 50.

Automatic Power On/Off (Standby): only possible with the COMPU LINK-3 and COMPU LINK--4 connection

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.

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.

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 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.

3. Connect your CD player, MD recorder and this receiver, using the cables with RCA pin plugs (see pages 5 and 6).

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.

Notes:

• 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 CD player in the diagram in the left column.)

• 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.

English

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

Remote Control of the TV, DVD player, and VCR Using This Remote Control

See page 51 for details.

• Aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on each

target component.

One-Touch Video Play

Simply by inserting a video cassette without its safety tab into the VCR 1 (the VCR connected to the VCR 1 jacks), you can enjoy the video playback without setting other switches manually. The receiver automatically turns on and changes the source to “VCR 1.” The TV automatically turns on and changes the input mode to the position so that you can view the playback picture. When you insert a video cassette with its safety tab, press the play

(

3) button on the VCR 1 or on the remote control. So, you can get

the same result.

One-Touch DVD Play

Simply by starting playback on the DVD player, you can enjoy the DVD playback without setting other switches manually.

• When the DVD player is connected through the analog input jacks on this receiver (and analog input is selected), the receiver automatically turns on and changes the source to “DVD” or “DVD MULTI.”

• When the DVD player is connected through the digital input terminal on this receiver (and digital input is selected), the receiver automatically turns on and changes the source to “DVD DGTL.”

The TV automatically turns on and changes the input mode to the appropriate position so that you can view the playback picture.

Automatic Selection of TV’s Input Mode

• When you select “TV” 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 “DVD,” “DVD MULTI,” “VCR 1,” “VCR 2,”

“VIDEO” or “DBS” as the source to play on the receiver, the TV automatically changes the input mode to the appropriate position (either Video Input 1 or Video Input 2) so that you can view the playback picture.

Notes:

• When connecting a TV with the AV COMPU LINK EX terminal to this receiver, you cannot use a component video cable (as case 3 on page 47). Connect the TV using a S-video or composite video cable (as cases 1 and 2).

• When you select “TV” as the source on the receiver, you cannot see the menu on the TV screen since the AV COMPU LINK remote control system automatically changes the TV’s 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’s input mode to the appropriate position the receiver is connected to.

Automatic Power On/Off

The TV, VCR 1 (the VCR connected to the VCR 1 jacks), and DVD player turn on and off along with the receiver. When you turn on the receiver;

• If the previously selected source is “VCR 1,” the TV and VCR 1

will turn on automatically.

• If the previously selected source is “VIDEO,” “VCR 2,” “TV” or

“DBS,” only the TV will turn on automatically.

• If the previously selected source is “DVD” or “DVD MULTI,” the

TV and DVD player will turn on automatically. When you turn off the receiver, the TV, VCR 1 and the DVD player will turn off.

Note:

If you turn off the receiver while recording on the VCR 1, the VCR 1 will not turn off, but continue recording.
