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-D411S/RX-D412B 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 transmit digital video signal and audio signal without AD/DA conversion with easy connection.
As RX-D411S/RX-D412B supports up to HDMI version 1.1, this receiver can digitally receive 5.1-channel PCM with fs 96 kHz and 2-channel PCM with fs 192 kHz. (These PCM signals are referred to as “multi-channel PCM” in this instructions.) 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 an HDCP-compatible 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,” and is the high-reliable copy control technology licensed by Digital Content Protection, LLC.
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 2-channel or multi-channel software.
Precise Surround Setup
Precise Surround Setup is a newly-developed JVC solution for quick, easy and systematic optimization of surround sound. By using Precise Surround Setup, you can enjoy the best possible surround performance. Precise Surround Setup measures the listening environment accurately with the dedicated earphone-type microphones and adjusts the speaker settings automatically.
CC (Compression Compensative) Converter
CC Converter eliminates jitter and ripples, achieving a drastic reduction in digital distortion by processing the digital music data in 24 bit–quantization and by expanding the sampling frequency to 128 kHz (for fs 32 kHz signals)/176.4 kHz (for fs 44.1 kHz signals)/192 kHz (for fs 48 kHz signals). By using the CC Converter, you can obtain a natural sound field from any source.
DCDi technology
DCDi (Directional Correlational Deinterlacing) technology, developed by Faroudja, eliminates jagged edges generated in progressive scanning conversion. With DCDi, you can enjoy clear and smooth video images on your display. For RX- D411S/RX-D412B, this function is applied only when the NTSC analog video signals are transmitted to the receiver.
K2 technology
K2 technology has been designed to enable natural audio reproduction, achieving a drastic reduction in digital distortion and creating original sound ambience with high precision.
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 into the receiver, unplug the receiver 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 the top of this receiver.
•Do not disassemble the receiver since there are no user serviceable parts inside.
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your JVC dealer.

•HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an interface which makes it possible to transmit digital audio and video signals with one cable. However, when connecting a TV to this receiver with an HDMI cable, the sound coming into this receiver is not transmitted to the speakers of the TV. You can enjoy sound only from the speakers connected to this receiver.
•When connecting a TV to the receiver with an HDMI cable, the following may cause noise or interrupt the sound and picture:
–Turning a source component on or off
–Changing the audio or video input setting of this receiver frequently
In this case, turn the receiver off, then turn it on again.
•When enjoying multi-channel PCM sound and selecting “HDMI” for the audio input setting (see page 21), some functions are not available. See page 11 for details.
•When you enjoy HDCP contents, sound and picture may not be transmitted to the speakers and TV for a few seconds in the beginning for confirmation.

7 Audio/video connection
In addition to the HDMI terminals, 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, PB, 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 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 terminals
See also page 45 for detailed information about the connection and the AV COMPU LINK remote control system.
*When connecting the TV to the receiver through the HDMI MONITOR OUT terminal and selecting “HDMI” for the video output setting, you can view the playback picture on the TV.
Do not connect the AC power cord until all other connections have been made.

–After “COMPLETE” is displayed, the Precise Surround Setup results are applied to the speaker settings.
•The speaker size measured by Precise Surround Setup may be different from that of the manual setting recommendation (see page 30). Precise Surround Setup measures the speaker size not only by the cone speaker size but also by the other speaker features.
•There may be a case that the receiver fails to detect subwoofer and does not activate it (no optimized test tone comes out of the subwoofer).
In such a case, set the volume level of the subwoofer higher and perform Precise Surround Setup again.
•When you change your listening environment, such as speakers, speaker position, your listening position or so, perform Precise Surround Setup again to optimize the speaker settings.
•Depending on the listening environment, Precise Surround Setup may not measure the speaker settings accurately. In such a case, adjust the settings manually. See pages 29 to 31, and 33.
•The supplied earphone-type microphones cannot be used as headphones.
•When the AV COMPU LINK remote control system works during Precise Surround Setup, this receiver stops setting and returns to the normal operation mode.
