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.

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 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 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 indicator lights 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

PLII GAME Suitable for when playing a video game. You can

software. You can enjoy wide and deep sounds.

enjoy sounds with “being there” feeling.

CONTINUED ON THE NEXT PAGE

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 when playing a video game. You can

enjoy 7.1-channel sounds with “being there” feeling. This mode is available only for an analog 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 14.)

indicator

■ 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 and 96/24 indicators light up. You can enjoy its 5.1-channel sound with fullquality.

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.

Multi channel PCM

Uncompressed multi channel digital audio data used for DVDAudios. DVD-Audios support up to 5.1 channels with sampling rates of

44.1/48/88.2/96 kHz and 2 channels with sampling rates of

44.1/48/88.2/96/176/192 kHz, at quantization of 16/20/24 bits.

• When Multi channel PCM signal is detected, the LINEAR PCM indicator lights up and “MULTI CH PCM” appears on the display for a while.

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).

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

(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 (analog 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 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.

• 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 22).

■ 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.

THEATER1 Reproduces the spatial feeling of a large theater

where the seating capacity is about 600.

THEATER2 Reproduces the spatial feeling of a small theater

where the seating capacity is about 300.

NOTE

When “THEATER1” or “THEATER2” is activated while playing back 2-channel analog or digital source, the built-in Dolby Pro Logic II decoder is activated and the indicator lights up.

3D HEADPHONE mode

If you connect a pair of headphones while one of the Surround/DSP 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.

Using the Surround/DSP modes

Available Surround/DSP modes vary depending on the speaker settings and the incoming signals. See the table below.

• The numbers inside the parentheses following the incoming signal type indicate the number of the front channels and that of the surround channels. For example, (3/2) indicates that the signals are encoded with three front signals (left/right/center) and two (stereo) surround signals.
