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 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 LFE (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-9010VBK is compatible with DTS Digital Surround as
well. DTS Digital Surround is the 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
RX-9010VBK, 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 for this receiver can transmit
control signals for many manufacturers’ 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 on the CD
Text and MDs. Using this information on 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.
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 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 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.

Setting Up the RF Rod Antenna
Setting Up the IR Signal Transmitter
The remote control supplied for this receiver can transmit RF (Radio
Frequency) signal. 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 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. To improve transmitting
conditions, change the distance to the receiver and the direction
to transmit while operating the remote control.
• 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
IR OUT
ANTENNA
The IR signal transmitter can transmit the IR signals.
It allows you to use the AV COMPULINK system, and to operate
other manufacturers’ components without aiming the remote control
directly toward the remote sensor 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 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 (not supplied).
2. Attach the double-sided adhesive tape
(supplied) to the IR signal transmitter.

ANTENNA
The RF rod antenna and IR signal Transmitter
The combination of the RF rod antenna and the IR signal transmitter
(see to the right) allows you to use the Multi-room function more
conveniently.
The remote control supplied for this receiver can transmit both RF
(Radio Frequency) signal and IR (infrared) 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 sensor on the other components
through IR signal transmitter.
This means that you can control not only this receiver but the other
components from the sub-room.

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 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.
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 (+).
R6P(SUM3)/AA(15F)
3. Replace the cover.
13
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.
Notes:
• 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).
• After replacing the batteries, set the manufacturers’ codes again
(see page 68).
CAUTIONS:
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.
• Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.
Multi-room Operations
Before operating this receiver any further, be familiar with this Multi-room function.
This function enables you to listen to different sources in two different places (we call these two places “main room”
and “sub-room”) by using this receiver only.

receiver without listening to the playback sound. For example, when
adjusting the volume level in the sub-room from the main room.
Notes:
• The volume level can be adjusted within the range of “0” (minimum)
to “90” (maximum).
• If you set One Touch Operation to “ON” (see page 34), you do not
have to adjust the volume level each time you change the source. It
is automatically set to the stored level for the previous setting.
