Introduction

We would like to thank you for purchasing one of our JVC products. Before operating this unit, read this manual carefully and thoroughly to obtain the best possible performance from your unit, and retain this manual for future reference.

Features

Dolby Digital EX*

Dolby Digital EX is newly introduced surround encoding format as an extension of multi-channel Dolby Digital, designed to add an extra surround channel to Dolby Digital 5.1-channel. By using a matrix encoding/decoding method, additional “surround back” channel signal is encoded (and decoded) in both the left and right surround channel signals.

DTS-ES Extended Surround (DTS-ES)**

DTS-ES is another new format developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., adding a surround back channel on the basis of DTS Digital Surround.

Dolby Pro Logic II*

Dolby Pro Logic II converts all 2-channel stereo software, especially Dolby Surround encoded software, into 5-channel (plus subwoofer) signals. It reproduces realistic Surround sounds approaching to Dolby Digital 5.1-channel. Dolby Pro Logic II has two modes to reproduce—Movie mode and Music mode.

Neo:6**

Neo:6 can reproduce realistic Surround fields by converting 2-channel stereo software into 6-channel (plus subwoofer) signals. Neo:6 has two modes to reproduce—Neo:6 Cinema and Neo:6 Music.

DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor)

Sound field simulation technology allows precise ambience recreation of existing theaters and halls. Thanks to the highperformance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and high-capacity memory, you can enjoy 5.1-channel surround by playing 2-channel or multi-channel software.

Precautions

Power sources

• When unplugging the receiver from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the AC power cord.

• Do not handle the AC power cord with wet hands.

• If you are not going to operate the receiver for an extended period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.

Ventilation

High power amplifiers built in this receiver will generate heat inside the cabinet. For safety, observe the following carefully.

• Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the receiver.

• Do not block the ventilation openings or holes. (If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)

Others

• Should any metallic object or liquid fall onto the unit, unplug the unit and consult your dealer before operating any further.

• Do not expose this apparatus to rain, moisture, dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases shall be placed on the apparatus.

• Do not disassemble the unit since there are no user serviceable parts inside.

If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your JVC dealer.

Multi-channel headphone virtual surround sound—3D HEADPHONE

The built-in headphone virtual surround system is compatible with Multi-channel software like Dolby Digital, DTS Digital Surround, etc. Thanks to the new signal processing algorithms used by the high-performance DSP, you can enjoy a natural surround sound through the headphones.

COMPU LINK/TEXT COMPU LINK/AV COMPU LINK remote control systems

These COMPU LINK remote control systems allow you to operate other JVC’s audio/video components from this receiver.

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 plug in before setting the voltage selector switch on the rear of the unit and all connection procedures are complete.

• 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.

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.

Introducing the Surround Modes

■ Dolby Surround

Dolby Digital EX*

Dolby Digital EX is newly introduced surround encoding format as an extension of multi-channel Dolby Digital, designed to add an extra surround channel to Dolby Digital 5.1-channel (see below). By using a matrix encoding/decoding method, additional “surround back” channel signal is encoded (and decoded) in both the left and right surround channel signals.

Compared to the conventional Dolby Digital 5.1-channel, this newly added surround back channel can reproduce more detailed movements behind you while viewing the video software. In addition, surround sound localization will become more stable, so that you can enjoy a realistic surround field in your listening room.

Dolby Digital 5.1-channel encoding method (so-called discrete

5.1-channel digital audio format) records and digitally compresses

the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left surround channel, right surround channel, and LFE channel signals (total 6 channels, but LFE channel is counted as 0.1 channel, therefore, called 5.1-channel). Since each channel is completely independent from the other channel signals to avoid interference, you can obtain a much better sound quality with better stereo and surround effects.

• To enjoy the software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the

source component using the digital terminals on the rear of this receiver. (See page 13.)

* Dolby Digital software can be roughly grouped into two categories

—multi-channel (up to 5.1-channel) and 2-channel software. To enjoy surround sounds while playing Dolby Digital 2-channel software, you can use Dolby Pro Logic II.

Dolby Pro Logic II*

Dolby Pro Logic II has a newly developed multi-channel playback

format to convert all 2-channel software into 5-channel (plus subwoofer). Matrix-based conversion method for Dolby Pro Logic II makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the surround treble and enables stereo surround sound unavailable with conventional Dolby Pro Logic.

Dolby Pro Logic II can reproduce spacious sound from original sound without adding any new sounds and tonal colorations. Dolby Pro Logic II has two modes—Movie mode and Music mode:

Pro Logic II Movie (PL II MOVIE)—suitable for the reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded sources bearing the mark You can enjoy a sound field very close to the one created with discrete 5.1-channel sounds. Pro Logic II Music (PL II MUSIC)—suitable for the reproduction of any 2-channel stereo sources. You can enjoy wide and deep sound by using this mode. For this mode, you can make precise adjustments to match the sound to your taste.

• When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the

indicator lights up on the display.

DTS Digital Surround**

Used to reproduce multi-channel sound tracks of the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround (

DTS Digital Surround is a discrete 5.1-channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software. Compared to Dolby Digital, DTS Digital Surround format has a lower audio compression ratio which enables it to add breadth and depth to the sounds reproduced. As such, DTS Digital Surround features natural, solid and clear sound.

• To enjoy the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround,

connect the source component using the digital terminals on the rear of this receiver. (See page 13.)

DTS-ES Extended Surround (DTS-ES)**

DTS-ES Extended Surround is another new digital surround encoding format, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., that adds the third surround channel—surround back channel. (See “Dolby Digital EX.”) DTS ES has two types—DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1:

DTS-ES Discrete 6.1—compatible with DTS-ES Extended Surround (DTS-ES), which has discrete 6.1-channel. You can play back the software encoded with DTS ES ( DTS-ES Matrix 6.1—is designed to add an extra surround channel to DTS Digital Surround 5.1-channel. By using a matrix encoding/ decoding method, additional “surround back” channel signal is encoded (and decoded) in both the left and right surround channel signals. You can playback the software encoded with DTS-ES (

• To enjoy the software encoded with DTS-ES, connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver. (See page 13.)

Neo:6**

Neo:6 is a newly developed conversion method to create 6-channel (plus subwoofer) from all 2-channel software. Neo:6 has two modes—Neo:6 Cinema and Neo:6 Music:

Neo:6 Cinema—suitable for reproduction of matrix-based 2-channel software. Neo:6 Music—suitable for reproduction of all 2-channel stereo music software.

When using Surround mode, the sounds come out of all the connected and activated speakers.

• If only the front speakers are connected, JVC’s original

3D-PHONIC processing (which has been developed to create the surround effect only through the front speakers) is used. The 3D-PHONIC indicator lights up on the display.

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. You can adjust the sound reproduced by DVD MULTI playback mode while playing back video software such as a DVD using the analog discrete 5.1-channel output mode.

• For the connection and the details of the DVD MULTI playback mode, see page 37.

■ DSP Modes

DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes

The sound heard in a concert hall, club, etc. 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 (see the diagram below). These indirect sounds are the most important elements of the acoustic surround effects. The DAP mode can reproduce a realistic sound field by adding these indirect sounds.

Reflections from

Early reflections

Direct sounds

All Channel Stereo mode (ALL STEREO)

This mode can reproduce a larger stereo sound field using all the connected (and activated) speakers.

All Channel Stereo can be used when the front and surround speakers are connected to this receiver without respect to the center and/or surround back speakers connection.

Sound reproduced from normal stereo

You can use the following DAP modes in order to reproduce a more acoustic sound field in your listening room.

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

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

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

hall (where the seating capacity is 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.

JVC Theater Surround

In order to reproduce a more realistic sound field in your listening room, you can use JVC Theater Surround.

THEATER 1: Reproduces the sound field of a large theater

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

THEATER 2: Reproduces the sound field of a small theater

(where the seating capacity is about 300).

When using DAP mode or JVC Theater Surround, the sounds come out of all the connected and activated speakers.

• If only the front speakers are connected or the front and center speakers are connected, JVC’s original 3D-PHONIC

processing (which has been developed to create the surround effect only through the front speakers) is used. The 3D-PHONIC indicator lights up on the display.

Sound reproduced from All Channel Stereo mode

3D HEADPHONE Mode

This receiver creates acoustic environment through the headphones as though using 5 speakers by signal processing algorithms—3D HEADPHONE mode. The processor combines all channels except LFE channel into two encoded channels. By turning off both the SPEAKERS ON/OFF 1 and SPEAKERS ON/OFF 2 then pressing DSP, 3D HEADPHONE mode is activated without respect to the type of software played back. You can enjoy more natural sound as though you are listening to directly through the conventional stereo headphones. The DSP and HEADPHONE indicators also light up.

COMPU LINK Remote Control System

The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate JVC’s audio components through the remote sensor on the receiver.

To use this remote control system, you need to connect JVC’s audio components through the COMPU LINK-4 (SYNCHRO) jacks (see below) in addition to the connections using cables with RCA pin plugs (see pages 8 and 9).

• 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.

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 a cassette deck or MD recorder using the COMPU LINK

remote control system, set the source name correctly. (See page

17.)

• 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.

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

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

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.
