About video signal conversion
This receiver can convert video signals. See the table below about video signal conversion.
Video Input Converted Video Output
Component
S-video
Video (composite)
To convert composite video and S-video signal into component video signal, set the “DVD VIDEO IN,” “VCR VIDEO IN,” or “DBS VIDEO IN” to “<S/C>” (see page 25).
• If using composite video cable for connecting to the video input and using S-video cable for connecting to the video output, the video signal is converted into S-video signal automatically. The signal is emitted through the S-video output jacks of MONITOR OUT, VCR OUT (REC), and DVR OUT (REC).
• Pictures may be distorted if the signals are converted. If this happens, connect the playback source component and TV using the cords of the same type.
• Incoming signal of component can be emitted only through the component output jacks.

Creating realistic sound fields
Reproducing theater ambience
In a movie theater, 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 theater.
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
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.
indicator lights up on the display.

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 three types of Dolby Pro Logic II modes—Pro Logic II Movie (PLII MOVIE), Pro Logic II Music (PLII MUSIC), and Pro Logic II Game (PLII GAME). When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the up on the display.
PLII MOVIE Suitable for playing any Dolby Surround encoded
software. You can enjoy a sound field very close to the one created with discrete 5.1-channel sounds.
PLII MUSIC Suitable for playing any 2-channel stereo
software. You can enjoy wide and deep sounds.
PLII GAME Suitable for playing a video game. You can enjoy
sounds with “being there” feeling.

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 three types of Dolby Pro Logic IIx
modes—Pro Logic IIx Movie (PLIIx MOVIE), Pro Logic IIx Music (PLIIx MUSIC), and Pro Logic IIx Game (PLIIx GAME). When Dolby Pro Logic IIx is activated, “PLIIx MOVIE,” “PLIIx MUSIC,” or “PLIIx GAME” appear and the lights up on 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.
PLIIx GAME Suitable for playing a video game. You can enjoy
7.1-channel sounds with “being there” feeling. This model is available for both an analog and digital 2-channel signal.
• 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 Neo:6
DTS Neo:6 is another conversion method to create 6-channel (plus subwoofer) from analog/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.
** “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 22), 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 22), 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.
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 indicators light up. You can enjoy its 5.1-channel sound with full­quality.
and 96/24
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 regardless of 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 analog 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 24).
31
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, THEATER1, THEATER2
• 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 22), JVC’s original 3D-PHONIC processing
