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
Hybrid Feedback Digital Amplifier
RX-D401S/RX-D402B features the JVC-exclusive Hybrid
Feedback Digital Amplifier. Premium-grade parts and devices,
and special internal construction assure you will enjoy superior
sound.
Compatible with HDMI*
The HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is the standard
interface for the next-generation TV. By connecting the source
components, this receiver, and TV with the HDMI cables, digital
video signals and audio signals (including Dolby Digital, DTS)
are transmitted through the cables. You can enjoy digital video
and sound without AD/DA conversion with easy connection.
As RX-D401S/RX-D402B supports up to HDMI version 1.1, this
receiver can digitally transmit 5.1-channel PCM with sampling
rates of 96 kHz and 2-channel PCM with sampling rates of 192
kHz. (These PCM signals are referred to as “multi channel
PCM” in this instruction.) You can enjoy digital sound without
deterioration. In addition, this receiver is compatible with
HDCP** (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection), and
HDCP contents can be viewed if you connect a HDCPcompatible TV to this receiver.
* HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia
Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI
Licensing LLC.
** HDCP is the abbreviation of “High-Bandwidth Digital Content
Protection,
licenced by Digital Content Protection, LLC.
” and is the high-reliable copy control technology
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.
Ventilation
The seven high power amplifiers built in this receiver will generate
heat inside the cabinet.
For safety, observe the following carefully:
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor
ventilation could overheat and damage the receiver.
• Do not block the ventilation openings or holes. (If the ventilation
openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the
heat may not be able to get out.)
Others
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall onto the unit, unplug the
unit and consult your dealer before operating any further.
• Do not use this receiver in a bathroom or places with water.
• Do not place any containers filled with water or liquids (such as
cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups, etc.)
on top of this receiver.
• 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.
7.1 channel DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor)
Sound field simulation technology allows precise ambience
recreation of existing theatres and halls. Thanks to the highperformance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and high-capacity
memory, you can enjoy 7.1-channel surround by playing 2channel or multi-channel software.
DCDi technology
DCDi (Directional Correlational Deinterlacing) technology,
developed by Faroudja, eliminates jagged edges generated in
progressive scan conversion. With DCDi, you can enjoy clear
and smooth video images on your display. For RX-D401S/RXD402B, this function is applied only when the NTSC analog
video signals are transmitted to the receiver.

Before Installation
General precautions
• Be sure your hands are dry.
•Turn the power off to all components.
• Read the manuals supplied with the components you are going
to connect.
Locations
• Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from
moisture and dust.
• The temperature around the receiver must be between –5˚C
and 35˚C (23˚F and 95˚F).
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor
ventilation could cause overheating and damage the receiver.
• Leave sufficient distance between the receiver and the TV.
Handling the receiver
• Do not insert any metal object into the receiver.
• Do not disassemble the receiver or remove screws, covers, or
cabinet.
• Do not expose the receiver to rain or moisture.
• Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the cord. When
unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage

3
Replace the cover.
If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases,
replace the batteries. Use two R6(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell
batteries.
• Supplied butteries are for initial setup. Replace for continued
use.
CAUTION:
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.
When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at
the remote sensor on the front panel.

Audio/video connection
In addition to the HDMI terminal, this receiver is equipped with three
video terminals—composite video, S-video, and component video
terminals, and two audio jacks—analog discrete 5.1 channel audio input
jacks (DVD MULTI IN), and stereo audio jacks.
• If your video components have S-video (Y/C-separation) and/or
component video (Y, P
B, PR) jacks, connect them using an S-
video cable (not supplied) or component video cable (not
supplied). By using these terminals, you can get a better picture
quality in the order:
Component > S-video > Composite
IMPORTANT:
The video signals from one type of these input jacks are
transmitted only through the video output jacks of the same
type. Therefore, if a recording video component and a playing
video component are connected to the receiver through the video
terminals of different type, you cannot record the picture. In
addition, if the TV and a playing video component are connected
to the receiver through the video terminals of different type, you
cannot view the playback picture on the TV.
Do not connect the AC power plug to the wall outlet until all connections are completed.
7 Connecting a DVD recorder or DVD player with its stereo output jacks:
Turn off all components before making connections.
• When you connect other components, refer also to their manuals.
DO NOT use a TV through a VCR or a TV with a built-in
VCR; otherwise, the picture may be distorted.
CAUTION:
If you connect a sound-enhancing device such as a graphic
equalizer between the source components and this receiver, the
sound output through this receiver may be distorted.
If your video components have AV COMPU LINK terminal
See also page 38 for detailed information about the connection
and the AV COMPU LINK remote control system.
