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 Ultra2 certified
The newly introduced THX Ultra2 standard ensures the highest sound and picture quality and the most reliable performance by using seven-channel amplification to reproduce multi-channel software. In newly developed THX Ultra2 Cinema Mode and THX Music Mode, all multi-channel software (5.1 channels or more) is automatically detected and proper processing is applied to improve directional and ambient surround information through four surround speakers—two at the side and two at the back.
Compatible with various audio formats including DTS 96/24
RX-DP20VBK allows you to enjoy newly introduced audio formats such as Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS-ES, DTS NEO:6, and DTS 96/24.
• This unit is also compatible with Dual Mono signals recorded in Dolby Digital and DTS discs.
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.
Multi-channel headphone virtual surround sound—3D HEADPHONE
The built-in headphone virtual surround system is compatible with multi-channel software. 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.
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 (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 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.
ZIST (Zero Interference audio Signal Transmission) circuit
The ZIST circuit incorporated for the EXT 7.1 CH IN (input) jacks successfully eliminates the video signal interference to the audio signals by making the cold side of the audio signals completely independent from the ground.
Multi-room operations
You can connect two pairs of front speakers to the RX-DP20VBK, and use them to listen to different sources in different rooms (Zone 1 and Zone 2) at the same time.
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 a 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 too 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. (Stopping the sound suddenly may surprise people as well.)
• If the receiver operates by itself or malfunctions, the following causes should 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 of its buttons.
• 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 17 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
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.

Connecting the Speakers
For full enjoyment of the THX modes (see page 51), it is recommended to use THX-certified speakers. You can connect the following speakers:
Two pairs of front speakers to produce normal stereo sound.
One pair of surround speakers to produce a three-dimensional
sound movement and environmental background-effect sounds.
One or one pair of surround back speakers to enjoy 6.1-channel or
7.1-channel sound reproduction. A pair of the speakers is required to use THX Ultra2 Cinema and THX Music modes.
One center speaker to produce a rich sound image by stabilizing the sound localization (also used to emphasize human voices).
One powered subwoofer to enhance the bass and to reproduce the LFE channel recorded in multi-channel software.
Turn the loop until you have the best reception.
AM Loop Antenna
(supplied)
Snap the tabs on the loop into the slots of the base to assemble the AM loop.
Outdoor single vinyl-covered wire (not supplied)
Notes:
If the AM loop antenna wire is covered with vinyl, remove the vinyl by twisting it as shown in the diagram.
Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals, connecting cords and power cord. This could cause poor reception.
If reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinyl-covered wire to the AM EXT terminal. (Keep the AM loop antenna connected.)
For each speaker (except for a subwoofer), connect the (+) and (–) terminals on the rear panel to the (+) and (–) terminals marked on the speakers. For connecting a subwoofer, see page 10.
CAUTIONS:
Use only the speakers of the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by the speaker terminals.
When connecting to both of the FRONT 1 and FRONT 2 / ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals, use speakers with an impedance of 8 to 16 .
When connecting to either the FRONT 1 or FRONT 2 / ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals, use speakers with an impedance of 4 to 16 .

Note:
The ZIST circuit (see page 1) is incorporated for the EXT 7.1CH IN jacks to clarify the audio signals independently from the video input circuit. However, if the external component connected to the EXT 7.1CH IN jacks and this receiver are not connected using video cords (composite, S­video, or component), noise may happen to be generated when listening to this external component. In this case, connect the video output jacks on the external component and unused video input jacks on this receiver.
IMPORTANT:
This receiver is equipped with the following video jacks—composite video, S-video and component video jacks. You can use any of the three to connect a video component However, observe the following points when make connections:
Composite video signals and S-video signals can be converted
into each other, and can be also converted into component signals. So incoming signals of both types can be emitted through
all video output jacks. (If both signals are used, the unit automatically gives priority to S-video signals.) — Pictures may be distorted if the signals are converted. If this
happens, connect the playback source component and TV using the cords of the same type.
When the recording components and this unit are connected using the video cords or S-video cords, playback components and this unit need to be connected using the cords of the same type.
Component signals cannot be converted. So incoming signals of this type can be emitted only through the component output jacks.
Notice: Pictures through the video components only connected to the component input jacks on the rear of this unit cannot be viewed in Zone 2.
Video camera
The VIDEO input terminals on the front panel are convenient when connecting and disconnecting the component frequently.
• When you do not use the VIDEO input terminals, attach the front terminal cover (supplied) to these jacks to protect them from dust.
How to view the pictures through an external component connected to the EXT 7.1CH IN (audio input) jacks
The EXT 7.1CH IN jacks do not have any corresponding video input jack on the rear. You have to use one of the following methods to view the pictures through the external component.
• Connect the video output jack on the external component directly to the TV, and select the connected input on the TV.
• Connect the video output jack on the external component to any one of unused video input jacks on the rear, then...
1. Select that video input as the video source.
2. Select “EXT 7.1CH” as the audio source.
(See “Selecting different sources for picture and sound” on page 24).
Video component connections
Use cables with RCA pin plugs (not supplied). Connect the white plug to the audio left jack, the red plug to the audio right jack, and the yellow plug to the video jack.
• If your video components have S-video (Y/C-separation) and/or component video (Y, P cable (not supplied) and/or component video cable (not supplied). By using these jacks, you can get better picture quality—in the order: Component video > S-video > Composite video.

RF REMOTE
Transmitter
The combination of the RF rod antenna and the IR signal transmitter 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 the IR signal transmitter. This means that you can control not only this receiver but also other components from Zone 2.
Setting Up the RF Rod Antenna
Notes:
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.
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 1/2 selectors (both on the rear and on the remote control) to another band (either BAND 1 or BAND 2).
Rear view
The remote control supplied for this receiver can transmit both RF (Radio Frequency) signals as well as IR (infrared) signals. 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.
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

On the main units rear
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.
On remote control (Inside the battery compartment)
Setting Up the IR Signal Transmitter
The IR signal transmitter can retransmit 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.
To set up the IR signal transmitter
1. Find a place where you can attach the IR signal
transmitter.
Place the transmitter where the signal can reach the remote sensor of the target components in a direct line of sight.
If the cord length of the IR signal transmitter is not long enough, use an extension cord (not supplied).
1. Insert the RF rod antenna onto the RF REMOTE ANTENNA terminal.
2. Rotate the fixing nut to attach the RF rod antenna firmly.

How to use the speaker and signal indicators
To obtain the best performance of this receiver while using the Surround/THX/DSP modes, check the speaker and signal
indicators on the display carefully and set the speakers correctly.
Selecting different sources for picture and sound
While watching pictures from a video source (DVD player, VCR, or DBS tuner), you can listen to sound of an audio source.
Once you have selected a video source, pictures of the selected source are sent to the TV until you select another video source.

About Dual Mono
Dual Mono can be easily understood when you think of the bilingual broadcast or the MTS (Multi-channel TV Sound) used for some 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 sub­channel) to be recorded separately.
When Dual Mono signals are detected, the
DUAL indicator lights up. You can select either channel you want to listen to (see page 42).

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 too high when controlling the receiver without listening to the playback sound. For example, when adjusting the volume level in Zone 2 from Zone 1.
Notes:
• The volume level can be adjusted within the range of “– – – dB”
(minimum), “–71.0 dB to “+18.0 dB” (maximum).
If you set One Touch Operation to “ON (see page 44), 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.)

Basic adjustment auto memory
This receiver memorizes sound settings for each Zone 1 source—
• when you turn on the power,
• when you change the source, and
• when you turn on One Touch Operation (see page 44).
When you change the Zone 1 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 25)
• Input Attenuator mode (see page 26)
• Analog Direct (see page 27)
• Parametric Equalizer setting (see page 48)
• Midnight mode (see page 49)
• Surround/THX mode (see page 51)
• DSP mode (see page 58)
Notes:
If the source is FM or AM, you can assign a different setting for
each band.
The memorized settings are not applied when a source is
selected for Zone 2.
If you want to memorize the volume level together with the
above settings, set One Touch Operation to “ON” (see page

Using the Surround and THX Modes

DIGITAL
This unit activates a variety of Surround and THX modes automatically. The stored basic settings and adjustments performed on the Setup and Adjustment Menus (see pages 35 to 50) are applied.
The following operations are only possible when the receiver is ready for Zone 1 operations, and are used only
for Zone 1 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 and THX Modes
Home THX*
Home THX Audio Systems, developed by THX Ltd., has become the world’s standard for film enjoyment in the home. It is one of the multi-channel home entertainment systems to reproduce all multi­channel sources accurately in the home. In newly developed THX Ultra2 Cinema Mode or THX Music Mode, all multi-channel software (5.1 channels or more) is automatically detected and proper processing is applied to improve directional and ambient surround information through four surround speakers—two at the side and two at the back.
• This receiver provides four types of THX modes—THX Ultra2
Cinema (THX U2 CINEMA), THX Music (THX MUSIC), THX Surround EX (THX SURR EX), THX Cinema (THX CINEMA).
When any one of the THX modes is activated, the
lights up on the display.
THX Ultra2 Cinema : Best for playing any 5.1-channel encoded
THX Music : Best for playing any 5.1-channel encoded
THX Surround EX : Best for playing Dolby Digital EX encoded
THX Cinema : To reproduce the sound through all

movie software, this mode can stabilize the sound localization and enlarge the sound field. (Only selectable with a pair of surround back speakers.)
music software. (Only selectable with a pair of surround back speakers.)
software. (Only selectable with one or a pair of surround back speakers.)
activated speakers except surround back speakers. (When THX Cinema is applied to Neo: 6 Cinema, sounds can also be emitted from the surround back speakers.)
Note:
When the ZONE 2 speaker indicator is lit on the display, you cannot use the THX modes and Surround modes requiring the surround back speakers. – You can only use those modes which do not require the
surround back speakers.
51
THX modes can be also applied to any source together with another Surround mode.
Dolby Digital*
Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed by Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and decoding (1ch up to 5.1ch).
When a Dolby Digital signal is detected through the digital input, the
2
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 new digital surround encoding format that adds the third surround channels, called surround back. Compared to the conventional Dolby Digital 5.1CH, the newly added surround back channel can reproduce more detailed movements behind you while viewing the video software. In addition, surround sound localization will become more stable.
Dolby Pro Logic
Dolby Surround encoding format records the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, and surround channel (monaural) signals into 2 channels. The Dolby Pro Logic (PRO LOGIC) built in this receiver decodes these 2 channel signals into 4 original channel signals (plus subwoofer)matrix-based multi-channel reproduction.
When Dolby Pro Logic is activated, the
indicator lights up
on the display.
THX Cinema can be applied together with Pro Logic when an analog or digital 2-channel software is played back.
Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II has a newly developed multi-channel
playback format to convert 2-channel software into 5-channel (plus subwoofer). The matrix-based 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 two types of Dolby Pro Logic II modes Pro Logic II Movie (PLII MOVIE) and Pro Logic II Music (PLII MUSIC).
When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the lights up on the display.
Pro Logic II 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.
Pro Logic II Music : Suitable for playing any 2-channel stereo
software. You can enjoy wide and deep sounds.
THX Cinema can be applied together with Pro Logic II Movie when an analog or digital 2-channel software is played back.
3
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 a DTS signal is detected through the digital input, the
indicator lights up on the display.
indicator
DTS Extended Surround (DTS-ES)
DTS-ES is another new multi-channel digital encoding format. It greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and space expression by adding the third surround channelsurround back channel. DTS-ES includes two signal formats with different surround signal recording methodsDTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch (DTS-ES DSCRT) and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1ch (DTS-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 “better- than-CD sound quality into the home.
When DTS 96/24 signals are detected, the 96/24 indicator lights up. You can enjoy its 5.1-channel sound with full-quality.
DTS Neo:6
DTS Neo:6 is a newly developed conversion method to create 6-channel (plus subwoofer) from analog/digital 2-channel software and DTS Digital Surround software by using the high precision digital matrix decoder used for DTS-ES Matrix 6.1ch.
This receiver provides two types of DTS Neo:6 modesNeo:6 Cinema (NEO:6 CINEMA) and Neo:6 Music (NEO:6 MUSIC).
When either Neo:6 mode 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 6.1­channel 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.
THX Cinema can be applied together with Neo:6 Cinema when an analog or digital 2-channel software is played back.
DTS Digital Surround
DTS Digital Surround (DTS 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.
When 7.1-channel reproduction mode (EX/ES/7.1) is set toON, DTS Neo:6 (DTS NEO:6) is applied while playing back
multi-channel DTS software. It creates the same surround ambience as playing 6.1-channel software.
About Dual Mono
This format is now adopted in Dolby Digital, DTS, and so on. When Dual Mono signals are detected, “DUAL MONO” appears, and the DUAL indicator lights up on the display.

About Dialog Normalization
Dialog Normalization is one of the standard functions for Dolby Digital and its level is encoded together with the audio signals. With this function, the sound output level of Dolby Digital software can be kept at almost the same level even if the recording levels differ among software.
THX also has the same function and its own standard level, which is different from that for Dolby Digital. If you see a message in the main display that shows “DIAL. NORM: XX (number) this means that the source material that you are listening to has been encoded at a higher or lower level than normal. To keep the volume level consistent from program to program, adjust the volume control by the amount (XX) in this message.
Ex: If the display reads DIAL. NORM: +4, turn down the
volume control by 4 dB.

Using the DSP Modes

This unit provides a variety of DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes. The stored basic settings and adjustments performed on the Setup and Adjustment Menus (see pages 35 to 50) are applied.
The following operations are only possible when the receiver is ready for Zone 1 operations, and are used only for the Zone 1 sources.
Reproducing the Sound Field
The sound heard in a concert hall, club, etc. consists of direct sound and indirect soundearly 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.
