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.

Double-sided adhesive tape

3. Connect the plug of the transmitter to the IR OUT jack of the receiver and place the transmitter.

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.

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.

• Be careful not to turn up the volume so high when controlling the 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.

AUTOMUTING: When a program is broadcasted in stereo, you

will hear stereo sound; when in monaural, you will hear monaural sounds. This mode is also useful to suppress static noise between stations. The AUTO MUTING indicator lights on the display.

MONO: Reception will be improved although you will lose the

stereo effect. In this mode, you will hear noise while tuning into the stations. The AUTO MUTING and STEREO indicator go off from the display.

Note:

Before you use the FM MODE button on the remote control, press FM/AM on the remote control to set the mode of the remote control to “TUNER.”

Notes:

• You can only select the same station of the same band (FM or AM)

• When you use the 10 keys on the remote control, be sure that

“TUNER” appears on the display window on the remote control. If not, start at step 1.

• The preset number does not appear for the sub-room.

Creating a Surround Field in the Main Room

The built-in Surround Processor provides Surround mode and four types of the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) mode — DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) mode, 5 CH/4 CH Stereo mode, 3D-PHONIC mode and HEADPHONE DSP mode. With this receiver, you can use a Surround mode and a DSP mode at the same time. Once you have adjusted Surround and/or DSP modes, the adjustments done for each source are memorized.

• You can use “On-screen Menu” for most of the main room operations. For details, see page 50.

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.

Surround modes

With this receiver, you can use two 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 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 decode these 2 channel signals into original 4 channel signals — matrix-based multichannel reproduction, and allows you to enjoy the realistic sound field in your listening room. On the other hand, Dolby Digital encoding method (so called a 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, comparing 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 10.)

DIGITAL

DOLBY SURROUND

DTS Digital Surround

DTS Digital Surround (bearing the mark

5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD

software. Comparing to Dolby Digital, audio compression rate is relatively low. This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format 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 10.)

) or with Dolby Surround

) is another discrete

DSP modes

With this receiver, you can use four types of the DSP mode.

DAP modes

In order to reproduce a more acoustic sound field in your listening room while playing music sources, you can use DAP modes. This

mode can be used when the front speakers are connected to this receiver (without respect to the rear/center speaker connection).

THEA TER 1: Reproduces the sound field of a large theater

(where the seating capacity about 1,000).

THEA TER 2: Reproduces the sound field of a small theater

(where the seating capacity about 300).

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

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

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

hall (where the seating capacity 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.

5 CH/4 CH Stereo mode

You can create more powerful sound field for both of the digital and analog stereo sounds source. The 4 CH Stereo mode reproduces a sound filed through the front left and right speakers and rear left and right speakers. The 5 CH Stereo mode adds the center channel element to the 4 CH Stereo sound field by outputting mixed left and right signals through the center speaker. This mode cannot be used

when only the front speakers are connected to this receiver without the rear speakers.

Note:

“5CH STEREO” is selected when setting the center speaker to “LARGE” or “SMALL.” “4CH STEREO” is selected when setting the center speaker to “NONE” (see page 29).

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 ar e

connected to this receiver (without respect to the rear/center speaker connection). When the 3D PHONIC mode is reproduced

with the center speaker connected, you can feel as if actors on the screen actually speak in your room.

• 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.

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.

HEADPHONE DSP mode

The HEADPHONE DSP mode can create the stereo sound while listening to a source using headphones as if you listen through the speakers. So you can feel as if you were in a music room. This

mode can be used only when both of the front speakers are deactivated (see page 19).

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. The Surround and DSP modes can create these important elements, and give you a real “being there” feeling.
