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

CC (Compression Compensative) Converter

CC Converter eliminates jitter and ripples, achieving a drastic reduction in digital distortion by processing the digital music data in 24 bit-quantization and by expanding the sampling frequency to 128 kHz (for fs 32 kHz signals)/176.4 kHz (for fs 44.1 kHz signals)/192 kHz (for fs 48 kHz signals). By using the CC Converter, you can obtain a natural sound field from any source. (See page 23 for details.)

K2 Technology

K2 Technology has been designed to enable natural audio reproduction, achieving a drastic reduction in digital distortion and creating original sound ambience with high precision.

Compatible with various audio formats including Dolby Pro Logic IIx

This receiver allows you to enjoy audio formats such as Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS-ES, DTS Neo:6, and DTS 96/24.

• This receiver is also compatible with Dual Mono signals recorded in Dolby Digital and DTS discs.

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 multi-channel surround sound by playing 2-channel or multi-channel software according to the speaker setting.

Multi-channel headphone virtual surround sound—3D Headphone mode

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

Multi-room operations

You can connect two pairs of front speakers to this receiver, and use them to listen to different sources in different rooms (Zone 1 and Zone 2) at the same time.

COMPU LINK/AV COMPU LINK remote control systems

These functions allow you to operate other JVC’s audio/video components from this receiver.

Precautions

General

• Be sure your hands are dry.

• Turn the power off to all components.

• Read the manuals supplied with the components you are going to connect.

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.

Multi-room operations

• Do not use the remote control outdoors or install the speakers outdoors.

• When operating the receiver from a place where you cannot see the receiver (for example, when controlling the receiver installed in the living room from the kitchen), pay attention to the following not to surprise other people: – Be careful not to turn up the volume too high when controlling

the receiver without listening to the playback sound.

– Be careful not to surprise other people with a sudden sound

coming out of the receiver when turning it on. (A sudden stop of the sound may also surprise other people.)

• If the receiver operates by itself or malfunctions, the following causes should be considered: – Interference to RF communication between the receiver and the

remote control from outside.

– The remote control is operated unintentionally. For example, a

book is placed on the remote control, possibly, depressing some of its buttons.

• If your neighbour uses the same or similar RF remote control system, the receiver may happen to receive the RF signals sent from such an RF remote control system, which could cause your receiver to be operated unintentionally. If this happens, stop using the RF rod antenna and the remote control, and consult your JVC dealer or the nearest JVC Service Center.

Location

• Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from moisture and dust.

• The temperature around the receiver must be between –5˚C and 35˚C (23˚F and 95˚F).

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

• Do not insert any metal object into the receiver.

• 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 receiver or remove screws, covers, or cabinet.

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

• When you want to operate a CD player, a CD recorder, and/or an

MD recorder using the COMPULINK remote control system (see page 51), connect the target components with both digital and analog connections (see pages 10 and 11).

• When you want to operate a DVD player, a VCR, and/or a TV using

the AV COMPULINK remote control system (see page 53), connect the target components with both digital and analog connections (see pages 12 and 13).

The combination of the RF rod antenna and the IR signal transmitter allows you to use the multi-room function more conveniently. The remote control supplied with this receiver can transmit both RF and IR signal at the same time. This receiver catches the RF signals emitted from the remote control, and converts them into IR signals, then transmits the converted signals to the remote sensors on the other components through the IR signal transmitter. This means that you can control not only this receiver but also other components from Zone 2.

Setting up the RF rod antenna

The remote control supplied with this receiver can transmit RF (Radio Frequency) signals as well as IR (infrared) signals. The RF rod antenna can receive the RF signals emitted from the remote control. So, with the RF rod antenna connected, you can operate the receiver at a distance of up to 15 m (50 feet) using RF signals sent from this receiver (more than twice as far as when using IR signals). Moreover, RF signals can go through walls and other objects in the house so you need not aim at the receiver directly. However, if the antenna cannot receive signals stably, you cannot operate the receiver correctly.

• Without the RF rod antenna connected, you can operate the receiver with the remote control, aiming the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the receiver.

ANTENNA

1. Insert the RF rod antenna onto the RF REMOTE

ANTENNA terminal.

2. Rotate the fixing nut to attach the RF rod

antenna firmly.

Notes:

• The signal-reachable distance may differ depending on the operating conditions and circumstances. To improve transmitting conditions, change the distance to the receiver and the direction to transmit while operating the remote control.

• To avoid a failure in the reception from the remote control, keep the connecting cables and the IR signal transmitter’s cable away from the RF rod antenna.

Setting up the IR signal transmitter

The IR signal transmitter can retransmit the IR signals. The transmitter allows you to use the AV COMPULINK remote control system, and to operate other manufacturers’ components without aiming the remote control directly at the remote sensors on the target components. In addition, the IR signal transmitter reduces the possibility of malfunction.

• The IR signal transmitter may not operate the target components depending on the operating conditions and circumstances— including the aiming angle and direction of the IR signal transmitter at the remote sensors of the target components. If this occurs, changing its aiming angle and direction at the remote sensors may solve the problem.

Connecting the Power Cord

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.

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.

1. Find a place where you can attach the IR signal

transmitter.

• Place the transmitter where the signal can reach the remote sensor of the target components in a direct line of sight.

• If the cord length of the IR signal transmitter is not long enough, use an extension cord (not supplied).

2. Attach the double-sided adhesive tape (supplied) to the IR signal transmitter.

Using the Surround Modes

This unit can activates a variety of Surround modes. The basic settings and adjustments stored (see pages 32 to 41) are applied.

• The following operations are only possible when the receiver is ready for Zone 1 operations, and are used only for Zone 1 sources.

Reproducing Theater Ambience

In a movie theater, many speakers are located on the walls to reproduce impressive multi-surround sounds, reaching you from all directions. With these many speakers, sound localization and sound movement can be expressed.

Surround modes built in this receiver can create almost the same surround sounds as you can feel in a real movie theater—with only five to seven speakers (plus subwoofer).

Introducing the Surround Modes

Dolby Digital*1 and Dolby Surround

Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed by Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and decoding (1 channel up to 5.1 channel—total 6 channels, but the LFE channel is counted as 0.1 channel. Therefore, called 5.1 channel). Dolby Surround is a encoding format, developed by Dolby Laboratories, and decoding it with Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic II, or Dolby Pro Logic IIx enables multi-channel playback.

• When Dolby Digital signal is detected through the digital input,

Dolby Pro Logic IIx

Dolby Pro Logic IIx is a newly introduced multi-channel playback format to convert not only multi-channel software but 2-channel software into 6.1 channel (or 7.1 channel) that developed from Dolby Pro Logic II. The matrix-based conversion method used for Dolby Pro Logic IIx makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the surround treble.

• This receiver provides two types of Dolby Pro Logic IIx modes—

Pro Logic IIx Movie (PLIIx MOVIE) and Pro Logic IIx Music (PLIIx MUSIC). When Dolby Pro Logic IIx is activated, “PLIIx MOVIE” or “PLIIx MUSIC” appear and the on the display.

PLIIx MOVIE Suitable for playing any Dolby Surround encoded

software. You can enjoy a sound field very close to the one created with discrete 6.1-channel sounds.

PLIIx MUSIC Suitable for playing any 2-channel stereo software.

You can enjoy wide and deep 6.1-channel sounds.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II is a multi-channel playback format to convert 2-channel software into 5.1 channel.

• This receiver provides two types of Dolby Pro Logic II modes—

Pro Logic II Movie (PLII MOVIE) and Pro Logic II Music (PLII MUSIC). When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the indicator lights up on the display.

PLII MOVIE Suitable for playing any Dolby Surround encoded

software. You can enjoy a sound field very close to the one created with discrete 5.1-channel sounds.

PLII MUSIC Suitable for playing any 2-channel stereo

software. You can enjoy wide and deep sounds.

Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Surround encoding format records the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, and surround channel (monaural) signals into 2 channels. The Dolby Pro Logic (PRO LOGIC) decoder built in this receiver decodes these 2-channel signals into 4 original channel signals (plus subwoofer)—matrix-based multi-channel reproduction.

• When Dolby Pro Logic is activated, the lights up on the display.

indicator

Dolby Digital EX

Dolby Digital EX (DOLBY D EX) is a digital surround encoding format that adds the third surround channels, called “surround back.” Compared to the conventional Dolby Digital 5.1CH, these newly added surround back channels can reproduce more detailed movements behind you while viewing the video software. In addition, surround sound localization will become more stable.

• You can use Virtual 6.1-channel surround when playing back Dolby Digital EX software without connecting the surround back speakers. This reproduces the back sound field as if the surround back speakers exist, so that you can still feel the great surround effect from behind. The VIRTUAL SB (Surround Back) indicator lights up on the display.

Dolby Digital 5.1CH

Dolby Digital 5.1CH (DOLBY D) encoding method records and digitally compresses the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left surround channel, right surround channel, and LFE channel signals. Dolby Digital enables stereo surround sounds, and sets the cutoff frequency of the surround treble at 20 kHz, compared to 7 kHz for Dolby Pro Logic. As such, the sound movement and “being-there” feeling are enhanced much more than Dolby Pro Logic.

DTS*

DTS is another digital signal compression method, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., and enables multi-channel encoding and decoding (1ch up to 6.1ch).

• When DTS signal is detected through the digital input, the

indicator lights up on the display.

DTS Extended Surround (DTS-ES)

DTS-ES is another multi-channel digital encoding format. It greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and space expression by adding the third surround channel—surround back channel. DTS-ES includes two signal formats with different surround signal recording methods—DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch (ES DSCRT) and

DTS-ES Matrix 6.1ch (ES MATRIX). DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch has been designed to encode (and decode)

a 6.1-channel signal discretely to avoid interference with each channel. DTS-ES Matrix 6.1ch has been designed to add an extra surround channel to DTS Digital Surround 5.1 channel. By using a matrix encoding/decoding method, an additional “surround back” channel signal is encoded (and decoded) in both the left and right surround channel signals.

• You can use Virtual 6.1-channel surround when playing back DTS-ES software without connecting the surround back speakers. This reproduces the back sound field as if the surround back speakers exist, so that you can still feel the great surround effect from behind. The VIRTUAL SB (Surround Back) indicator lights up on the display.

DTS 96/24

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in higher sampling rates both for recording and for reproducing at home. Higher sampling rates allow wider frequency range and greater bit depths provide extended dynamic range. DTS 96/24 is a digital signal format (fs 96 kHz/24 bits) introduced by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. to deliver “better-than-CD sound quality” into the home.

• When DTS 96/24 signal is detected, the indicators light up on the display. You can enjoy its sound with full-quality.

and 96/24

DTS Neo:6

DTS Neo:6 is another conversion method to create 6 channel (plus subwoofer) from analog/digital 2-channel software by using the high precision digital matrix decoder used for DTS-ES Matrix 6.1ch. When one of Neo:6 modes is activated, the NEO:6 indicator lights up on the display.

• This receiver provides the following DTS NEO:6 modes—Neo:6 Cinema (NEO:6CINMA) and Neo:6 Music (NEO:6MUSIC).

When DTS NEO:6 is activated, the NEO:6 indicator lights up on the display.

NEO:6CINMA Suitable for playing movies. You can get the

same atmosphere with 2-channel software as with 6.1-channel software. It is also effective for playing software encoded with conventional surround formats.

NEO:6MUSIC Suitable for playing music software. The front

channel signals bypass the decoder (resulting in no loss of sound quality) and the surround signals transmitted through the other speakers expand the sound field naturally.

DTS Digital Surround

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

• When EX/ES/PLIIx setting is set to “ON,” DTS plus Neo:6 (DTS + NEO:6) is applied while playing back multi-channel DTS software. It creates the same surround ambience as 6.1-channel software does.

What is Dual Mono?

Dual Mono can be easily understood when you think of the bilingual broadcast or the MTS (Multichannel Television Sound) format used for TV programs (however, the Dual Mono format is not identical with those analog formats). This format is now adopted in Dolby Digital, DTS, and so on. It allows two independent channels (called main channel and subchannel) to be recorded separately.

• When Dual Mono signal is detected, the DUAL indicator lights up on the display. You can select either channel you want to listen to (see page 36).

When using the Surround mode, the sounds come out of the activated speakers which the Surround mode requires.

• If either the surround speakers or center speaker is set to

“NONE” in the speaker setting, the corresponding channel signals are allocated to and emitted through the front speakers.

• If both the surround speakers and center speaker are set to

“NONE” in the speaker setting, JVC’s original 3D-PHONIC processing (which has been developed to create the surround effect through the front speakers only) is used. The 3D-PHONIC indicator lights up on the display.

If you have connected (and activated) the surround speakers, you can use Virtual 6.1-channel surround when playing back Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Digital (3/2 or 2/2) or DTS-ES software without connecting the surround back speakers. This surround reallocates the surround back channel to the surround speakers so that you can still feel the great surround effect from behind. The VIRTUAL SB (Surround Back) indicator lights up on the display.

3D Headphone mode—3D H PHONE

If you press SURROUND when the front speakers 1 and 2 are both deactivated, 3D Headphone mode (3D H PHONE) is activated without respect to the type of software played back. “3D H PHONE” appears and the DSP and HEADPHONE indicators also light up on the display.

Using the DSP Modes

This unit can activates a variety of DSP modes. The basic settings and adjustments stored (see pages 32 to 41) are applied.

• The following operations are only possible when the receiver is ready for Zone 1 operations, and are used only for Zone 1 sources.

Reproducing the Sound Field

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. These direct sounds and indirect sounds are the most important elements of the acoustic surround effects. DSP modes can create these important elements, and give you a real “being there” feeling.

• Some JVC’s VCRs can accept two types of control signals—remote codes “A” and “B.” Before using this remote control, make sure that the remote control code of the VCR connected to the VCR 1 IN jacks is set to code “A.” – When another JVC’s VCR is connected to the VCR 2 IN jacks, set

its remote control code to code “B.” (This remote control cannot emit the control signals of code “B.”)

• Aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on each component, not on the receiver.

• To operate the video component(s) using the RF signals emitted from this remote control, the IR signal transmitter and the RF rod antenna must be connected to this receiver. – Place the IR signal transmitter so that it is aimed at the remote

sensor(s) on the target video component(s).

– The RF signal-reachable distance may differ depending on the

operating conditions and circumstances.

– The IR signal transmitter can send signals from a distance of 3 m

(10 feet).
