If your audio components have a COMPU LINK-3 terminal

The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to control other JVC audio components from the receiver or vice versa. Connect your audio components and the receiver with the cable (monaural mini-plug supplied with those components) as well as the connection above. For detailed information about the connection and the COMPU LINK-3 remote control system, see page 41.

Notes:

• If you want to operate a cassette deck using the COMPU LINK remote control system, connect the cassette deck to the TAPE/VCR jacks, not to the VCR1 jacks.

• The COMPU LINK-3 remote control system is the upgraded version of the COMPU LINK-1 and COMPU LINK-2. Even if your component has the COMPU LINK-1 or COMPU LINK-2 jacks, you can still connect it in the COMPU LINK-3 remote control system, but some functions may not work correctly.

Video component connections

(PLAY)

If your video components have S-video (Y/C-separation) terminals, connect them using S-video cables (not supplied).

English

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 on the rear are output only through

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

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

To view and record the playback picture from the video components connected to the VIDEO1,VIDEO2 and TAPE/VCR jacks, you must connect the TV and the recording video equipment through the composite video terminals.

Note:

When connecting an audio/video component (ex.: Video CD player) with “karaoke” — singing along — function, use the audio signal attenuating cord supplied with this receiver. If not, sound may be distorted.

Page 10

Connecting the Power Cord

English

Before plugging the receiver into an AC outlet, make sure that all connections have been made. When the power cord is connected, the STANDBY lamp above the POWER button lights up.

Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables for the TV, VCR, and 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.

Notes:

• A small amount of power is always consumed even in standby mode. To switch off the power completely,

• If the power cord is unplugged or a power failure occurs, preset settings will be erased in a few days.

3. Replace the cover in.

unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.

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.

R03 (UM-4)/AAA (24F)

If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace the batteries. Use two R03 (UM-4)/AAA (24F) type dry-cell batteries.

CAUTIONS:

Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:

• Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity indicated: (+) 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.

About the One Touch Operation

This receiver can memorize the optimum sound settings for each playing source.

JVC’s One Touch Operation function is used to assign and store different sound settings for each different playing source. By using this function, you don’t have to change the settings every time you change the source. The stored settings for the newly selected source are automatically recalled.

The following can be stored for each source:

• Volume level (see page 13)

• Balance (see page 15)

• Loudness (see page 15)

• SEA modes (see page 24)

• DAP mode settings (see page 27)

• DVD MULTI playback mode settings (see page 29)

• Surround mode settings (see page 32)

Notes:

• If the source is FM or AM, the One Touch Operation function works only when the preset channels from

1 — 20 are tuned in. You can assign a different setting for each preset channel.

• The DAP mode, DVD MULTI playback mode, and surround mode cannot be used at the same time.

Activating the Surround Sounds

The receiver can reproduce the sounds of the DVD player with its the analog discrete output mode turned on. Moreover, the built-in digital surround processor provides two groups of programs — DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes and surround modes (Dolby Surround and JVC Theater Surround).

You cannot use the DAP mode and surround mode at the same time. When you turn on the DAP mode, the surround mode is turned off (if it has been on), and vice versa.

Notes:

• The digital surround processor has no effect on monaural sources.

• The digital surround processor cannot be used for recording.

On the DAP mode

Reflections from

Early reflections

Direct sounds

behind

English

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 by using the front speakers and rear speakers.

On DVD multi playback mode

On surround mode

This receiver provides the DVD MULTI playback mode for reproducing the analog discrete output mode of the DVD player. The soundtracks of the movies are designed to sound best in movie theaters. This means they cannot be reproduced in a home environment as intended by movie-makers. With the introduction of the discrete multi-channel soundtracks of the DVD player, enables dynamic sound experiences of a movie theater in your home in the same way as intended by movie-makers.

To activate the DVD MULTI playback mode, you need to set the playing mode of the

DVD player according to your speaker arrangement.

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

Dolby Surround

Dolby Surround 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 2 Dolby Surround modes (Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby 3ch Logic).

Dolby Pro Logic: Select this mode when optional center and rear speakers are connected. Dolby 3ch Logic: Select this mode when a center speaker is connected without rear

speakers.

FUNCTIONS:

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

Note:

Refer also to the manuals supplied with your video components.

7 Remote Control of the TV through the Remote Sensor on the Receiver

You can control the TV through the remote sensor on the receiver using this remote control. For details, see page 47.

Note:

Aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the receiver when operating the TV. (However, to operate the VCR or DVD player, always aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the VCR or on the DVD player.)

7 One-Touch Video Play

Simply by inserting a video cassette without its safety tab into the VCR1 (the VCR connected to the VCR1 jacks), you can enjoy the video playback without setting other switches manually. The receiver automatically turns on and changes the source to “VCR1.” The TV automatically turns on and changes the input mode to the position you can view the VCR playback. When you insert a video cassette with its safety tab, press the play ( control. So, you can get the same result.

Note:

When you connect an S-VHS VCR or the DVD player as described on page 42, you cannot see the on-screen displays (such as Visual Confirmation and Menus) since the AV COMPU LINK Remote Control System automatically changes the TV input mode to “Video input 1” when you operate the S-VHS VCR or the DVD player. If you do not mind stopping watching the picture, you can then show the on-screen displays after changing the TV input mode to the position (Video input 2) the receiver is connected to.

3) button on the VCR1 or on the remote

7 One-Touch DVD Play

Simply by starting playback on the DVD player, you can enjoy the DVD playback without setting other switches manually. The receiver automatically turns on and changes the source to “DVD” or “DVDMULTI” — DVD playback mode is automatically selected when a disc played in stereo or the audio output setting of the DVD player is mixed to two front channels, while DVD MULTI playback mode is automatically selected when a disc played back using the analog discrete output mode on the DVD player. The TV automatically turns on and changes the input mode to the position so that you can view the playback picture.

7 Automatic Selection of TV’s Input Mode

• When you select “TV SOUND” 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 “VIDEO1,” “VIDEO2,” or “TAPE/VCR” as the source to play on the receiver, the TV automatically changes the input mode to the Video Input 2 so that you can watch the playback picture.

• When you select “DVD,” “DVDMULTI,” or “VCR1” as the source to play on the receiver, the TV automatically changes the input mode to the correct position (either Video Input 1 or 2) so that you can watch the playback picture.

Note:

When you select “TV SOUND” as the source on the receiver, you cannot see the on-screen displays (such as Visual Confirmation and the menu function) since the AV COMPU LINK remote control system automatically changes the TV 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 input mode to the position (Video input 2) the receiver is connected to.

7 Automatic Power On/Off

The TV, VCR1 (the VCR connected to the VCR1 jacks), and DVD player turn on and off along with the receiver. When you turn on the receiver;

• If the previously selected source is “VCR1”, the TV and VCR1 will turn on automatically.

• If the previously selected source is “VIDEO1,” “VIDEO2,” or “TV SOUND,” only the TV will turn on automatically.

• If the previously selected source is “DVD” or “DVDMULTI,” the TV and DVD player will turn on automatically.

When you turn off the receiver, the TV, VCR1 and DVD player will turn off.
