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

THX Surround EX (DTS-ES compatible)

THX Surround EX is a format that has additional left and right surround back channels on the basis of Dolby Digital 5.1 channels. It improves the definition and the sense of sound movement in surround (rear) channels.

• This receiver is also compatible with DTS Extended Surround (DTS-ES)—another multichannel surround containing additional left and right surround back channels.

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 multichannel software.

Multichannel headphone virtual surround sound—3D HEADPHONE

The built-in headphone virtual surround system is compatible with multichannel software like Dolby Digital, DTS Surround, etc. Thanks to the new signal processing algorithms used by the highperformance DSP, you can enjoy a natural surround sound through the headphones.

192 kHz/24 bit PEM DD audio DA converter

The JVC-exclusive converter is now upgraded to be fully compatible with DVD Audio’s high specifications. Subtle nuances are accurately reproduced.

CC (Compensative Compression) 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 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.

Multi-room operations

You can connect two pairs of front speakers to the RX-DP10VBK, and use them to listen to different sources in the different rooms (Main room and Sub-room) at the same time.

RF/IR multi-brand/learning remote control

The remote control sends out not only IR (infrared) signals but also RF (radio frequency) signals as coded commands to control the receiver. The RF rod antenna can receive the RF signals sent from the remote control to operate the receiver. In addition, the supplied IR signal transmitter can transmit IR signals which can control other video components.

• The remote control provided for this receiver can transmit control signals for many manufacturers’ components, and can learn and store any signals.

COMPU LINK/TEXT COMPU LINK/AV COMPU LINK remote control systems

These COMPU LINK remote control systems allow you to operate other JVC audio/video components from this receiver.

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.

Multi-room operations

• Do not use the remote control outdoors or install the speakers outdoors.

• When operating the receiver from the place where you cannot see the receiver (for example, when controlling the receiver installed in the living room from the kitchen), pay attention to the following not to surprise other people: – Be careful not to turn up the volume so high when controlling

the receiver without listening to the playback sound.

– Be careful not to surprise other people with a sudden sound

coming out of the receiver when turning it on. (A sudden stop of the sound may also surprise other people.)

• If the receiver operates by itself or malfunctions, the following causes will be considered: – Interference to RF communication between the receiver and the

remote control from outside.

– The remote control is operated unintentionally. For example, a

book is placed on the remote control, possibly, depressing some buttons on the remote control.

• If your neighbour uses the same or similar RF remote control system, the receiver may happen to receive the RF signals sent from such an RF remote control system, which could cause your receiver to be operated unintentionally. If this happens, set the BAND selectors both on the rear and on the remote control to another band (either BAND 1 or BAND 2)—see page 15 for details. If the problem still persists, stop using the RF rod antenna and the remote control, and consult your JVC dealer or the nearest JVC Service Center.

Ventilation

Seven high power amplifiers built in this receiver will generate heat inside the cabinet. When the temperature inside the cabinet increases, the internal fan automatically starts rotating to reduce the internal temperature. 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.

• As the front speakers in the sub-room when using the Multi-room operations. (See page 17.)

CAUTION:

Use only the speakers of the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by the speaker terminals.

IMPORTANT for the FRONT 1 SPEAKERS connection:

To obtain the best possible output power from the receiver, and to prevent the receiver from being overheated, the receiver has the SPEAKER LOAD SELECTOR which has to be set as follows:

• Set it to the “HIGH” position when the impedance of the front

speakers connected is within the range of 8 Ω to 16 Ω.

• Set it to the “LOW” position when the impedance of the front

speakers connected is within the range of 4 Ω to 6 Ω.

Digital Connections

This receiver is equipped with five DIGITAL IN terminals—one digital coaxial terminal and four digital optical terminals—and one DIGITAL OUT terminal.

IMPORTANT:

• When connecting the DVD player, digital TV broadcast tuner, digital VCR, or DBS tuner using the digital terminals, you also need to connect it to the video terminal on the rear. Without connecting it to the video terminal, you cannot view any playback picture.

• After connecting the components using the DIGITAL IN terminals, set the following correctly if necessary. – Set the digital input (DIGITAL IN) terminal setting correctly. For

details, see “Setting the Digital Input Terminals—DIGITAL IN” on page 38.

– Select the digital input mode correctly. For details, see “Selecting

the Analog or Digital Input Mode” on page 23.

Digital input terminals

You can connect any digital component as follows:

Notes:

• When shipped from the factory, the DIGITAL IN terminals have been set for use with the following components: – DIGITAL 1 (coaxial): For DVD player – DIGITAL 2 (optical): For CD player – DIGITAL 3 (optical): For digital TV broadcast tuner – DIGITAL 4 (optical): For CD recorder – DIGITAL 5 (optical): For MD recorder

• When you want to operate the CD player, CD recorder, or MD recorder using the COMPU LINK remote control system, connect the target component also as described in “Analog connections” (see page 10).

Setting Up the RF Rod Antenna

The remote control supplied for this receiver can transmit both RF (Radio Frequency) signal as well as IR (infrared) signal. The RF rod antenna can receive the RF signals emitted from the remote control. So, with the RF rod antenna connected, you can operate the receiver at a distance of up to 15 m (50 feet) using RF signals sent from this receiver (more than twice as far as when using IR signals). Moreover , RF signals can go through walls and other objects in the house so you need not aim at the receiver directly. However, if the antenna cannot receive signals stably, you cannot operate the receiver correctly.

• The signal-reachable distance may differ depending on the operating conditions and circumstances. To improve transmitting conditions, change the distance to the receiver and the direction to transmit while operating the remote control.

• Without the RF rod antenna connected, you can operate the receiver with the remote control, aiming the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the receiver.

To set up the RF rod antenna

RF REMOTE

ANTENNA

RF REMOTE

ANTENNA

The RF rod antenna and IR signal Transmitter

The combination of the RF rod antenna and the IR signal transmitter (below) allows you to use the Multi-room function more conveniently. The remote control supplied for this receiver can transmit both RF signal and IR signal at the same time. This receiver catches the RF signals emitted from the remote control, and converts them into IR signals, then transmits the converted signals to the remote sensor on the other components through IR signal transmitter. This means that you can control not only this receiver but also the other components from the sub-room.

Setting Up the IR Signal Transmitter

The IR signal transmitter can transmit the IR signals. It allows you to use the AV COMPU LINK system, and to operate other manufacturers’ components without aiming the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the target components. In addition, the IR signal transmitter reduces the possibility of malfunction.

• The IR signal transmitter may not operate the target components depending on the operating conditions and circumstances— including the aiming angle and direction of the IR signal transmitter at the remote sensors of the target components. If this occurs, changing its aiming angle and direction at the remote sensors may solve the problem.

1. Insert the RF rod antenna to the RF REMOTE ANTENNA terminal.

2. Rotate the fixing nut to attach the RF rod antenna firmly.

Notes:

• To avoid a failure in the reception from the remote control, keep the

connecting cables and the IR signal transmitter’ s cable away from the RF rod antenna.

• If your neighbour uses the same or similar RF remote control

system, the receiver may happen to receive the RF signals sent from such an RF remote control system, which could cause your receiver to be operated unintentionally. If this happens, set the BAND selectors (both on the rear and on the remote control) to another band (either BAND 1 or BAND 2).

RF REMOTE

ANTENNA

To set up the IR signal transmitter

1. Find the place where you attach the IR signal transmitter.

• Place it where the signal can reach the remote sensor of the

target components directly (in the line-of-sight).

• If the cord length of the IR signal transmitter is not long

enough, use an extension cord (not supplied).

2. Attach the double-sided adhesive tape (supplied) to the IR signal transmitter.

LIGHT

Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables and the antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. We recommend that you use a coaxial cable to connect the antenna, since it is well-shielded against interference.

Note:

The preset settings such as preset channels and sound adjustment may be erased in a few days in the following cases:

– When you unplug the power cord. – When a power failure occurs.

CAUTIONS:

• Do not touch the power cord with wet hands.

• Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the cord. When unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage the cord.

CAUTIONS:

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.

• Be careful not to turn up the volume so high when controlling the receiver without listening to the playback sound. For example, when adjusting the volume level in the sub-room from the main room.

Notes:

• The volume level can be adjusted within the range of “– – – dB”

(minimum) to “+18.0 dB” (maximum).

• If you set One Touch Operation to “ON” (see page 40), you do not

have to adjust the volume level each time you change the source. It is automatically set to the stored level. (However, if you have turned off the receiver with the volume level set at more than level “–35 dB,” the volume level will be automatically set at level “–35 dB” next time you turn on the receiver.)

• All sound adjustments cannot affect the recording.

• The test tone signal (see pages 44, 49) does not come out through the DIGITAL OUT terminal.

IMPORTANT:

• While recording, do not turn off the receiver or main room

source; otherwise, recording will stop.

• If the same source is selected both for the main room and the

sub-room, operating the sub-room source will affect the recording.

Basic adjustment auto memory

This receiver memorizes sound settings for each source—

• when you turn off the power,

• when you change the source,

• when you change the analog/digital input mode (see page 23),

and

• when you turn on One Touch Operation (see page 40).

When you change the source, the memorized settings for the newly selected source are automatically recalled. The following can be stored for each source:

• Analog/digital input mode (see page 23)

• Input attenuator mode (see page 24)

• Line Direct (see page 25)

• Midnight mode (see page 38)

• Speaker channel output levels (see page 44)

• Parametric Equalizer setting (see page 44)

• DSP Parameters (see page 45)

• THX Surround On/Off setting (see page 48)

• Surround mode On/Off setting (see page 48)

• DSP mode selection (see page 52)

Notes:

• If the source is FM or AM, you can assign a different setting for each band.

• If you want to memorize the volume level together with the above setting, set “ONE TOUCH OPERATION” to “ON” (see page 40).

Using the Surround Modes

This unit activates a variety of Surround Modes automatically according to the stored basic settings and adjustments performed on the Setup and Adjustment Menus (see pages 33 to 45).

• The following operations are only possible when the receiver is ready for the main room operations, and are

used only for the main room sources.

Reproducing Theater Ambience

In a movie theater, many speakers are located on the walls to reproduce impressive multi-surround sounds, reaching you from all directions. With these many speakers, sound localization and sound movement can be expressed.

Surround modes built in this receiver can create almost the same surround sounds as you can feel in a real movie theater—with only five or seven speakers (plus subwoofer).

Introducing the Surround Modes

THX Surround EX (Dolby Digital EX)*

Best used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software encoded with Dolby Digital EX.

• To enjoy the software encoded with Dolby Digital EX, connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver. (See page 14.)

Dolby Digital EX is a new digital surround encoding format that adds the third surround channels, called “surround back” (2 channels—but, the same signals are recorded for both left and right surround back channels).

Comparing 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. The THX Surround EX* mode built in this receiver decodes Dolby Surround EX encoding, and allows you to enjoy a realistic surround field in your listening room.

Furthermore, this decoder also works for any sound source, applying one of two THX Surround modes—“THX SURR EX” or “THX CINEMA.”

• “THX SURR EX” or “THX CINEMA” is automatically selected when you press THX ON/OFF.

Left front speaker(s)

Center speaker

THX SURR EX: To reproduce the sound through all activated

speakers. (Best for playing Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES encoded software)

THX CINEMA: To reproduce the sound through all activated

speakers except the surround back speakers.

Dolby Digital 5.1CH**

Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software encoded with Dolby Digital (

• To enjoy the software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver. (See page 14.)

Dolby Digital 5.1CH encoding method (so-called discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format) 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 LFE channel is counted as 0.1 channel. Therefore, called 5.1 channel). As each channel is completely independent from the other channel signals to avoid interference, you can obtain a much better sound quality with better stereo and surround effects. In addition, 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.

Surround back speakers

Dolby Surround (Dolby Pro Logic)**

Used to reproduce sound tracks of the software encoded with Dolby Surround (

DOLBY SURROUND

Dolby Surround encoding format records the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, and surround channel signals (total 4 channels) into 2 channels. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built in this receiver decodes these 2 channel signals into 4 original channel signals—matrix-based multichannel reproduction, and allows you to enjoy a realistic surround sound in your listening room.

• When Dolby Pro Logic is activated, the PRO LOGIC indicator lights up on the display.

• Dolby Pro Logic will be activated for all 2 channel software when the Surround mode is turned on. (The PRO LOGIC indicator lights up.)

DTS Digital Surround***

Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround (

• To enjoy the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround, connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver. (See page 14.)

DTS Digital Surround 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)***

This is another new digital surround encoding format that adds the third surround channels.

• This unit is compatible with DTS Extended Surround (DTS-ES). You can play back DTS-ES encoded software using THX Surround EX.

Notes:

• When the SUB ROOM speaker indicator is lit on the display, you cannot use the THX or Surround mode. – You can only use DAP modes (see page 50) for the main room

source (the DSP and 3D-PHONIC indicators light up on the display).

• When you select “DVD MULTI” as the source to play, you cannot select the Surround and DSP modes.

3D HEADPHONE Mode

You can also enjoy the surround effect (except THX Surround modes) through the headphones.

By pressing SURROUND ON/OFF when the headphones are connected, 3D HEADPHONE mode is activated without respect to the type of software played back. The DSP and HEADPHONE indicators also light up.

• Dolby Pro Logic will be activated for all 2-channel software. (The PRO LOGIC indicator lights up.)

DVD MULTI Playback Mode

This receiver provides the DVD MULTI playback mode for reproducing the analog discrete 5.1 channel output mode of the DVD player or other equipment. You can adjust the DVD MULTI playback mode while playing back a video software such as a DVD using the analog discrete

5.1 channel output mode.

• For the DVD MULTI playback mode connection, see page 13.

• For details on the DVD MULTI playback mode, see page 53.

Reproducing the Sound Field

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 Surround and DSP modes can create these important elements, and give you a real “being there” feeling.

DAP modes

You can use the following DAP modes in order to reproduce a more acoustic sound field in your listening room.

LARGE HALL 1 : Reproduces the spatial feeling of a large

shoebox-shaped hall designated primarily for classical concerts. (Its seating capacity is about 2000.)

LARGE HALL 2 : Reproduces the spatial feeling of a large

vineyard-shaped hall designated primarily for classical concerts. (Its seating capacity is about 2000.)

RECITAL HALL : Reproduces the spatial feeling of a small hall

designated primarily for classical recitals. (Seating capacity is about 500.)

OPERA HOUSE : Reproduces the spatial feeling of an opera

house with a high ceiling and multi-level seating layout.

CHURCH : Reproduces the spatial feeling of a majestic

church with a high ceiling.

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.

LARGE THEA TER

SMALL THEA TER

: Reproduces the spatial feeling of a large theater

where the seating capacity is about 600. The built-in Dolby Pro Logic decoder is activated. (The PRO LOGIC indicator lights up.)

: Reproduces the spatial feeling of a small theater

where the seating capacity is about 300. The built-in Dolby Pro Logic decoder is activated . (The PRO LOGIC indicator lights up.)

When using the DAP mode, the sounds come out of all the connected and activated speakers.

• If only front speakers are connected, JVC’s original 3D-

PHONIC processing (which has been developed to create the surround effect only through the front speakers) is used. The 3D-PHONIC indicator lights up on the display.

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

without connecting the surround speakers.

• The CENTER CHANNEL submenu settings and the DSP PARAMETER submenu settings cannot be applied to All Channel Stereo mode. (You cannot adjust them for this mode.)

• If headphones are connected or if the front speakers are deactivated, “ALL CH STEREO” cannot be selected. (See

“HEADPHONE Mode” below.)

Stereo Film and Monaural Film modes

In order to reproduce a more acoustic sound field in your listening room while viewing stereo sound or monaural sound video software (analog and 2-channel digital signals), you can use these modes. The surround effect will be added, and the sound localization of actor’s words will be improved.

STEREO FILM : To play back stereo video software MONO FILM : To play back monaural video software

When “STEREO FILM” or “MONO FILM” is used, sounds come out of all the connected (and activated) speakers.

3D THEATER

Only using the front speaker, this mode gives you such a true and clear surround effect as is reproduced through the Dolby Surround decoder, which is widely used to reproduce sounds with a feeling of movement like those experienced in movie theaters.

• When “3D THEATER” is used, the DSP and 3D-PHONIC indicators light up. The PRO LOGIC indicator also lights up when 2-channel software is played back. (Dolby Pro Logic decoder is activated.)

• If the center speaker is connected (and activated):

Sounds created by the built-in DSP (Digital Signal Processor) come out of the center speaker to localize the sounds. So, you can feel as if actors on the screen actually speak in your room.

• If headphones are connected, “3D HEADPHONE” will be activated. (See “3D HEADPHONE Mode” on page 47.)

Activating the DSP Modes

Perform the basic settings and adjustments using the Setup and Adjustment Menus first (see pages 33 to 45).

Activating one of the DSP modes for a source automatically recalls the memorized settings and adjustments done on the above menus.
