Features

Hybrid Feedback Digital Amplifier

RX-D701S features the JVC-exclusive Hybrid Feedback Digital
Amplifier. Premium-grade parts and devices, and special
internal construction assure you will enjoy superior sound.

USB WIRELESS

By using the USB wireless transmitter supplied with RX-D701S,
sound reproduced from your PC can be transmitted to this
receiver. You can choose PC as another playback source for
RX-D701S.

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-D701S 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.

7.1 channel DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor)

Sound field simulation technology allows precise ambience
recreation of existing theaters 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.

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.

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.

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 scan conversion. With DCDi, you can enjoy clear
and smooth video images on your display.

Making sounds natural

JVC’s CC (Compression Compensative) 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 176.4 kHz (for fs 44.1 kHz
signals)/192 kHz (for fs 48 kHz signals) on the front speakers.
By using the CC Converter, you can obtain a natural sound field
from both digital and analog sources.

Basic settings

To obtain the best possible sound effect from Surround/DSP
modes (see pages 41 to 45), you need to set up the speaker and
subwoofer information after all the connections are completed.
From pages 23 to 32, how to set speakers and other basic items
of the receiver are explained.

Setting the speaker information automatically—Smart Surround Setup

The distance from your listening point to the speakers is one of
the important elements to obtain the best possible sound effect
from the Surround/DSP modes.
By using Smart Surround Setup, the following are automatically
calculated by one simple action—clapping hands.

• Speaker distance (compared to that of the closest speaker)

• Speaker output level (except the subwoofer)

NOTES

• Smart Surround Setup may not work properly with some
speakers, or some speakers may cause a noise after Smart
Surround Setup finishes. If Smart Surround Setup does not
work properly, adjust the speaker distance and output level
manually. See pages 29 and 36 for the manual adjustment.

• Before starting Smart Surround Setup, set the speaker
information correctly (SMALL, LARGE, or NO) according to your
speakers except the subwoofer (see page 28).

• When the setting is made by Smart Surround Setup, the
speaker distance and output level you have set before will be
inactive.

•You can see the setting process on the TV screen and the
display during Smart Surround Setup. If you have turned off the
display, cancel the Dimmer (see page 21); otherwise, you
cannot see the information on the display.

• Smart Surround Setup will not be done correctly if you or other
object blocks the sound.

• When you change your speakers, do the following procedure
again.

.

SILENT: • The receiver detects sound from only the left

and right front speakers.

• The receiver detects no sound from the front
speakers and detects sound from at least one of
the other speakers.

SILENT-ALL: The receiver cannot detect any sound from any

speaker for about 10 seconds.

AGAIN: • The receiver cannot detect sound from the left

or right front speaker.

• The receiver fails to calculate the speakers'
output level and difference of each speaker's
position in distance.

• On the display, “SUCCESSFUL” appears, then the setting
values are shown as follows for about 10 seconds:

Ex.:

*8 Standard channel (the closest speaker).

This speaker position now works as the reference
position (“0m/ft”) and other speakers’ distance is
shown by the difference with this reference speaker
position.

*9 Difference of each speaker position in distance (in

meters or feet).

*10 Each speaker’s output level (–6 to +6).

When finishing displaying the setting values

On the TV screen, “COMPLETED” appears, then “TEST TONE”
and “END” appear. On the display, “TEST? END?” appears.

•To adjust the speakers’ output levels manually, press TEST (see
page 36).

•To erase the on-screen display, press SET or any button except
TEST.

• The receiver returns to normal operation mode automatically if
no operations are done for about 10 seconds.

Ex.:

In the following cases, set the speakers manually.

• When “SILENT” appears twice in succession

The setting is partially made. (The distance of the speakers
from which sound has not been detected is set to “+9.0m
(+30ft).”)
The receiver exits from Smart Surround Setup.

• When “MANUAL” appears

The receiver fails to detect the sound three times. The receiver
exits from Smart Surround Setup.

To cancel Smart Surround Setup, press EXIT while “SETTING
UP” flashes.

• No other operations can be accepted after “SETTING UP” stops
flashing. Complete the Smart Surround Setup.

To check the current setting made by Smart Surround Setup,

press SMART S. SETUP while the receiver is in normal operation
mode.
The setting values appear. On the display, the setting values are
shown one after another.

• The current setting is not indicated but “MANUAL” appears if you
change the following settings after using Smart Surround Setup:
– If you change speaker distance manually.
– If you change one of the speaker sizes either from “NO” to

“SMALL” or “LARGE,” or from “SMALL” or “LARGE” to “NO.”
To check the current setting, see each setting item of the
speaker distance (see page 29) and the speaker output level
(see page 36).

• If you have not used Smart Surround Setup, “NO S.S.S.”
appears.

NOTES

• When Smart Surround Setup does not work properly, try
measures below:
– set the volume to “0.”
– turn off the components (TV, DVD player, DVD recorder, or

subwoofer, for example) near this receiver or the speakers.

• The speaker distance and output level manually set will be
applied instead of those set by using Smart Surround Setup in
the following cases:
– When you change one of the speaker distances (see page

29).

– When you change one of the speaker sizes either from “NO”

to “SMALL” or “LARGE,” or from “SMALL” or “LARGE” to “NO”
(see page 28).

• When you want to adjust the speaker distance and output level
manually, see pages 29 and 36.

• When the headphone is in use, the receiver returns to normal
operation mode without showing “TEST TONE.”

• The speakers which are set to “NO” in the speaker setting (see
page 28) are not indicated clearly on the TV screen.

• Do not clap your hands so hard that it may hurt your hands.

Basic setting items

You can adjust the following items. See pages in parentheses for
details.

•You cannot select the items which is not available with the
