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

Main Functions

• Dolby Digital Decoder Incorporated

You can enjoy Dolby Digital, one of the most advanced home theater sound systems available. Dolby Digital, with five fullrange channels and a subwoofer channel, lets you enjoy the most spectacular theater sound at home when you view movies on DVD.

• Compatible with DTS Digital Surround

The RX-9000VBK is compatible with DTS Digital Surround as well. DTS Digital Surround is the latest digital movie soundtrack format that delivers 5.1-channel audio like Dolby Digital. Using a low audio-data compression rate, it features natural, solid and clear sound.

• Multi Room Operations

You can connect two pairs of the front speakers to the RX9000VBK, and use them to listen to different sources in the different rooms (Main room and Sub-room) at the same time.

• RF/IR Multi-brand Remote Control

The remote control sends out not only IR (infrared) signals but also RF (radio frequency) signals as coded commands to control the receiver. The RF rod antenna can receive the RF (Radio Frequency) signals sent from the remote control to operate the receiver. In addition, the supplied RF signal transmitter can transmit IR signals which could control other video components. – The remote control provided with this receiver can transmit

control signals for many manufacturers’ video components.

• COMPU LINK Remote Control System

The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate other JVC audio components from this receiver.

• 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 through the receiver.

• AV COMPU LINK Remote Control System

The AV COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate other JVC video components from this receiver.

Main Technologies

• K2 Interface

K2 Interface eliminates jitter and ripples, achieving a drastic reduction in digital distortion. You can obtain a natural sound field from stereo and 5.1 channel sources.

• Dynamic Super-A

Dynamic Super-A is JVC’s exclusive technology which combines the silky, distortion-free sound of a class-A amplifier and the robust efficiency of a class-B amplifier.

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.

Multi-room operations

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

• When operating the receiver from the 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 so high when controlling

the receiver without listening to the playback sound.

– Be careful not to surprise other people at 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 will 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 buttons on the remote control.

• 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 happen, stop using the RF rod antenna and the remote control, and consult your JVC dealer or the nearest JVC Service Center.

Others

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

• 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.

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.

To view and record the playback picture from the video component connected to the CDR/VCR 2 jacks, you must connect the TV and the recording video component through the composite video terminals.

Note:

You can connect either a cassette deck or an MD recorder to the TAPE/MD jacks. When connecting an MD recorder to the TAPE/MD jacks, change the source name, which will be shown on the display when selected as the source, to “MD.” See page 23 for details.

Digital connections

This receiver is equipped with four DIGITAL IN terminals — one digital coaxial terminal and three digital optical terminals, and one DIGITAL OUT terminal. You can connect any digital equipment such as —

• DBS tuner,

• Digital TV broadcast tuner,

• DVD player,

• CD player,

• CD recorder, and

• MD recorder.

IMPORTANT:

• When connecting the DVD player, digital TV broadcast tuner or DBS tuner using the digital terminals, you also need to connect it to the video jack (either composite video terminal or S-video terminal) on the rear. Without connecting it to the video jack, you can view no playback picture.

• After connecting the components using the DIGITAL IN terminals, set the following correctly if necessary. – Set the digital input (DIGITAL IN) terminal setting correctly. For

details, see “Digital Input (DIGITAL IN) Terminal Setting” on page

26.

– Select the digital input mode correctly. For details, see “Selecting

the Analog or Digital Input Mode” on page 26.

Digital input terminals

Notes:

• When shipped from the factory, the DIGITAL IN terminals have been set for use with the following components. – DIGITAL 1 (coaxial): For DVD player – DIGITAL 2 (optical): For CD player – DIGITAL 3 (optical): For digital TV broadcast tuner – DIGITAL 4 (optical): For CD recorder

• When you want to operate the CD player, CD recorder, or MD recorder using the COMPU LINK remote control system, connect the target component also as described in “Analog connections” (see pages 6 and 7).

• When you want to operate the DVD player using the AV COMPU LINK remote control system, connect the DVD player also as described in “Analog connections” (see page 8).

• To use the digital source components as the sub-room source, you need to connect them using analog connection methods as well.

• When the digital coaxial terminal (DIGITAL 1) and analog pin jacks (analog connection) are both used to connect one source component, you may happen to hear a noise while playing on the source component. If this occurs, use a digital optical terminal (DIGITAL 2/3/4) instead of the digital coaxial terminal (DIGITAL 1).

Setting Up the RF Rod Antenna

30° 30°

Setting Up the IR Signal Transmitter

The RF rod antenna is supplied with this receiver to allow you to use the Multi-room function. With the RF rod antenna, you can operate the receiver at a distance of up to 50 feet (15 m) using the remote control. However, If the antenna cannot receive signals stably, you cannot operate the receiver correctly.

• The signal-reachable distance may differ depending on the operating conditions and circumstances.

The remote control supplied with this receiver can transmit both RF (Radio Frequency) signal and IR (infrared) signal at the same time to operate the receiver. The RF rod antenna can receive the RF signals emitted from the remote control. This means that you do not have to aim the remote control at the remote sensor on the receiver when operating the receiver.

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

To set up the RF rod antenna

1. Insert the RF rod antenna to the RF REMOTE

ANTENNA terminal.

RF REMOTE

The IR signal transmitter can transmit the IR signals. It allows you to use the AV COMPULINK system, and to operate other manufacturers’ video components. Without the IR transmitter connected, you can operate other components with the remote control, aiming the remote control directly toward the remote sensor on the target components. However, 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 toward the remote sensors of the target components. If this occurs, changing its aiming angle and direction toward the remote sensors may solve the problem.

To set up the IR signal transmitter

1. Find the place where you attach the IR signal

transmitter.

• Place it where the signal can reach the remote sensor of the target components directly (in the line-of-sight).

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

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

Putting Batteries in the Remote Control

Connecting the Power Cord

Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.

1. On the back of the remote control, remove the battery cover.

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

3. Replace the cover.

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.

If the remote control cannot transmit signals and operate the receiver correctly, replace the batteries. Use two R6P(SUM3)/ AA(15F) type dry-cell batteries.

• When the remote control transmits a signal, the remote operation lamp on the remote control lights up.

Note:

When you can aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the receiver, you can operate the receiver at a distance of up to 23 feet (7 m).

CAUTION:

Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:

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

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.

• the cassette deck (or MD recorder) connected to the TAPE/MD jacks,

• the VCR connected to the VCR 1 jacks, and

• the CD recorder (or VCR) connected to the CDR/VCR2 jacks

— at the same time.

For digital-to-digital recording

You can record the currently selected digital input through the receiver to a digital recording device connected to the DIGITAL OUT terminal.

• Digital-to-digital recording is only possible when the digital signal format of the playback source is linear PCM. For recording the playback source of other digital signal formats, use analog-toanalog recording method.

Notes:

• Analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog recordings are not possible.

• The output volume level, bass boost (see page 18), SEA modes

(see page 31), and DSP modes (see page 32) cannot affect the recording.

• The test tone signal (see pages 35 and 37) does not come out

through the DIGITAL OUT terminal.

IMPORTANT:

• While recording, do not turn off the receiver or main room source; otherwise, recording will stop.

• If the same source is selected both for the main room and the subroom, operating the sub-room source will affect the recording.

Using the DSP Modes

DOLBY SURROUND

The built-in Surround Processor provides three types of the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) mode — Surround mode, DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) mode and 3D-PHONIC mode.

The following operations are only possible while the receiver is ready for the main room operations, and are only used for the main room sources.

What are the DSP Modes?

Surround modes

With this receiver, you can use three 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

DIGITAL

) or with Dolby Surround

). 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 stereo sounds in your listening room. On the other hand, Dolby Digital encoding method (the so-called 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, compared 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 9.)

• When playing a source encoded with DTS Digital Surround (bearing the mark

LARGE THEA TER: Reproduces the sound field of a large (DIG L. THEATER) theater (where the seating capacity is (DTS L. THEATER) almost 1,000). SMALL THEA TER: Reproduces the sound field of a small (DIG S. THEATER) theater (where the seating capacity is (DTS S. THEATER) almost 500).

DTS Digital Surround

DTS Digital Surround is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software. Compared to Dolby Digital, audio compression rate is relatively high. This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format to have more data recorded than Dolby Digital even using the same media, and 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 9.)

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).

No adjustments are required for the 3D-PHONIC modes. By simply selecting one of the 3D-PHONIC modes, you can enjoy the 3DPHONIC effect.

• 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.

• You can select “3D L. THEATER” and “3D S. THEATER” when only front speakers are connected to this receiver and “REAR SPK” and “CENTER SPK” are set to “NONE” (see page 24).

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. JVC Theater Surround, DAP modes and 3D-PHONIC modes can create these important elements, and give you a real “being there” feeling.

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.

3D L. (large) THEATER: Reproduces the sound field of a large

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

3D S. (small) THEATER: Reproduces the sound field of a small

theater (where the seating capacity is about 500).

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. 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.

• For the DVD MULTI playback mode connection, see page 8.

Synchronized Recording

This operation is only possible while the receiver is ready for the main room operations.

Synchronized recording means the cassette deck (or MD recorder) starts recording as soon as a CD or a record begins playing.

• When using a CD recorder for synchronized recording, refer to the manual supplied with it.

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 (or a record on the turntable).

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 or on

the turntable.

The main room 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 main room source cannot be changed. (You can

change the sub-room source.)

– If the same source is selected both for the main room and the

sub-room, operating the sub-room source will affect the recording.

• The COMPU LINK remote control system may not operate properly

during synchronized recording; – If the power of any component is shut off during synchronized

recording.

– If the main room sound is turned off by pressing MAIN ROOM

ON/OFF.

In this case, you must start again from the beginning.
