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.

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 to 16 Ω.
• Set it to the “LOW” position when the impedance of the front
speakers connected is within the range of 4 to 6 Ω.

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

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).

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.

2. Insert the batteries.
• Make sure to match the polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
3. Replace the cover.
If the remote control cannot transmit signals or operate the receiver correctly, replace the batteries. Use two LR6(AM3)/L40(15A) type dry-cell batteries.
• When the remote control transmits a signal, the signal
transmission indicator on the remote’s display lights up.
Notes:
• If you aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the
receiver, you can operate the receiver at a distance of up to 7 m (23 feet).
• When replacing the batteries, finish it without delay; otherwise, the
stored signals are all erased (see pages 67 and 71).
When using the remote control in the dark
Press LIGHT. The buttons on the remote control are backlit while you are using the remote control. If you do not press any button for about 5 seconds, the backlight will turn off.
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.

Adjusting the Main Room Volume
On the unit:
To increase the volume, turn MASTER VOLUME clockwise. To decrease the volume, turn it counterclockwise.
• When you turn MASTER VOLUME rapidly, the volume level also changes rapidly.
• When you turn MASTER VOLUME slowly, the volume level also changes slowly.
From the remote control:
To increase the volume, press VOLUME +. To decrease the volume, press VOLUME –.
CAUTIONS:
• Always set the volume to the minimum before starting any source. If the volume is set at a high level, the sudden blast of sound energy can permanently damage your hearing and/or ruin your speakers.
• 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.
dB
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.)
