your choice temporarily

Another convenient RDS service is called “Enhanced Other Networks.” This allows the receiver to switch temporarily to a broadcast program of your choice (TA, NEWS, and/or INFO) from a different station except in the following case:

• The Enhanced Other Networks mode only works when receiving an FM station with the Enhanced Other Networks code.

Before you start, remember...

The Enhanced Other Networks function is only applicable to preset FM stations.

Press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly until the program type you want appears on the display.

• Each time you press the button, the program type(s) change, and the corresponding indicator(s) light up as follows:

Press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly again so that the program type (TA/NEWS/INFO) indicator goes off from the display. The receiver exits from Enhanced Other Networks standby mode and goes back to the previously selected station.

When an emergency broadcast (Alarm ! signal) is sent from an FM station

The receiver automatically tunes in to the station except in the following cases:

• When you are listening to non-RDS Networks—all AM (MW) stations, some FM stations and other sources.

• When the receiver is in standby mode.

While receiving an emergency broadcast, “Alarm !” appears on the display.

The TEST signal is used for equipment test—whether it can receive the Alarm ! signal correctly

The TEST signal makes the receiver work in the same way as the Alarm ! signal does. If the TEST signal is received, the receiver automatically switches to the station broadcasting the TEST signal. While receiving the TEST signal, “TEST” appears on the display.

TA: Tr affic Announcement in your area. NEWS: News. INFO: Program the purpose of which is to impart advice in the

widest sense.

How the Enhanced Other Networks function actually works:

If another FM station starts broadcasting the program type you have selected while you are listening to an FM station

The receiver automatically switches to the station. The indicator of the received program type starts flashing.

‘

When the program is over, the receiver goes back to the station previously tuned in, but still remains in Enhanced Other Networks standby mode. The indicator of the received program type stops flashing and remains lit.

If the station currently tuned in starts broadcasting the program type you have selected

The receiver continues to receive the station, but the indicator of the received program type starts flashing.

‘

When the program is over, the indicator of the received program type stops flashing and remains lit, but the receiver remains in Enhanced Other Networks standby mode.

NOTES

sound fields

Reproducing theatre ambience

In a movie theatre, many speakers are located on the walls to reproduce impressive multi-channel sound, reaching you from all directions. With these many speakers, sound localization and sound movement can be expressed. Surround/DSP modes built in this receiver can create almost the same Surround sound as you can feel in a real movie theatre.

Introducing the Surround modes

■ Dolby Digital*

Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed by Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and decoding.

• When Dolby Digital signal is detected through the digital input, the indicator lights up on the display.

Dolby Digital 5.1CH

Dolby Digital 5.1CH (DOLBY DIGITAL) 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 (total 6 channels, but the LFE channel is counted as 0.1 channel. Therefore, called 5.1 channel). 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.

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.

■ Dolby Surround

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II is a multi-channel playback format to convert 2-channel software into 5-channel (plus subwoofer). The matrixbased conversion method used for Dolby Pro Logic II makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the surround treble and enables stereo surround sound.

• 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

PLII MUSIC Suitable for playing any 2-channel stereo

software. You can enjoy wide and deep sounds.

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 7.1 channel (or 6.1 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 display.

PLIIx MOVIE Suitable for playing any Dolby Surround encoded

software. You can enjoy a sound field with a natural wraparound effect.

PLIIx MUSIC Suitable for playing any 2-channel stereo

software. You can enjoy wide and deep 7.1channel sounds.

indicator lights up on the

DTS Neo:6

DTS Neo:6 is another conversion method to create 6-channel (plus subwoofer) from analogue/digital 2-channel software by using the high precision digital matrix decoder used for DTS-ES Matrix 6.1ch.

• This receiver provides the following DTS Neo:6 modes—Neo:6 Cinema (NEO:6 CINEMA) and Neo:6 Music (NEO:6 MUSIC). When one of them is activated, the NEO:6 indicator lights up on the display.

NEO:6 CINEMA 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:6 MUSIC 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.

•To enjoy software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver. (See page 10.)

■ 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 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.

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 DISCRETE) 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.

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 multi-channel digital signal format (fs 96 kHz/24 bits) introduced by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. to deliver “betterthan-CD sound quality” into the home.

• When DTS 96/24 signal is detected, the and 96/24 indicators light up. You can enjoy its 5.1-channel sound with fullquality.

** “DTS”, “DTS-ES”, “Neo:6” and “DTS 96/24” are trademarks

of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.

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

• If either “SURROUND SPK” or “CENTER SPK” is set to

“<NO>” in the speaker setting (see page 17), the

corresponding channel signals are allocated to and emitted through the front speakers.

• If both “SURROUND SPK” and “CENTER SPK” are set to

“<NO>” in the speaker setting (see page 17), 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.

3D HEADPHONE mode

If you connect a pair of headphones while one of the Surround modes is in use, the 3D HEADPHONE mode is activated without respect to the type of software played back. “3D HEADPHONE” appears on the display and the DSP and HEADPHONE indicators light up.

About other digital signals

Linear PCM

Uncompressed digital audio data used for DVDs, CDs, and Video CDs. DVDs support 2 channels with sampling rates of 48/96 kHz, at quantization of 16/20/24 bits. On the other hand, CDs and Video CDs are limited to 2 channels with 44.1 kHz at 16 bits.

• When Linear PCM signal is detected, the LINEAR PCM indicator lights up.

Dual Mono

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

•You can select either channel you want to listen to (see page 19).

Introducing the DSP modes

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

Reflections from behind

Early reflections

Direct sounds

The DSP modes include the following modes:

• Digital Acoustic Processor (DAP) modes—HALL1, HALL2, LIVE CLUB, DANCE CLUB, PAVILION, THEATRE1, THEATRE2

• MONO FILM—Used for all types of 2-channel signals (including Dual Mono signal)

• All Channel Stereo mode (ALL CH STEREO)

When one of the DSP modes is activated, the DSP indicator lights up on the display.

When using the DAP mode, the sounds come out of all the connected and activated speakers.

• If “SURROUND SPK” is set to “ setting (see page 17), 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.

<NO>” in the speaker

■ MONO FILM

In order to reproduce a more acoustic sound field in your listening room while viewing monaural sound video software (analogue and 2-channel digital signals including Dual Mono signal), you can use this mode. The surround effect will be added, and the sound localization of actor’s words will be improved.

This mode cannot be used for multi-channel digital signals.

When “MONO FILM” is used, sounds come out of all the connected (and activated) speakers.

• If “SURROUND SPK” is set to “<NO>” in the speaker setting (see page 17), 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 incoming signals change from 2-channel digital signal to another digital signal type, “MONO FILM” is canceled and an appropriate Surround mode is activated.

■ All Channel Stereo mode (ALL CH STEREO)

This mode can reproduce a larger stereo sound field using all the connected (and activated) speakers. This mode cannot be used

if “SURROUND SPK” is set to “<NO>” in the speaker setting (see page 17).

■ Digital Acoustic Processor (DAP) modes

You can use the following DAP modes in order to reproduce a more acoustic sound field in your listening room.

HALL1 Reproduces the spatial feeling of a large

shoebox-shaped hall designed primarily for classical concerts. (Its seating capacity is about

2000.)

HALL2 Reproduces the spatial feeling of a large

vineyard-shaped hall designed primarily for classical concerts. (Its seating capacity is about

2000.)

LIVE CLUB Reproduces the spatial feeling of a live music club

with a low ceiling.

DANCE CLUB Reproduces the spatial feeling of a rocking dance

club.

PAVILION Reproduces the spatial feeling of an exhibition

hall with a high ceiling.

THEATRE1 Reproduces the spatial feeling of a large theatre

where the seating capacity is about 600.

THEATRE2 Reproduces the spatial feeling of a small theatre

where the seating capacity is about 300.

NOTE

When “THEATRE1” or “THEATRE2” is activated while playing back 2-channel analogue or digital source, the built-in Dolby Pro

Logic II decoder is activated and the indicator lights up.
