Getting Started

Before Installation
General Precautions
• DO NOT insert any metal object into the receiver.
• DO NOT disassemble the receiver or remove screws, covers, or cabinet.
• DO NOT expose the receiver to rain or moisture.
Locations
• Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from moisture.
• The temperature around the receiver must be between 23˚F and 95˚F (–5˚C and 35˚C).
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor ventilation could cause overheating and damage the receiver.
Handling the receiver
• 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.
• Keep the power cord away from the connecting cords and the antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. It is recommended to use a coaxial cable for antenna connection, since it is well-shielded against interference.
• When a power failure occurs, or when you unplug the power cord, the preset settings such as preset FM/AM channels and sound adjustments may be erased in a few days.
Putting Batteries in the Remote Control
Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.
• When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the receiver.
1. On the back of the remote control, remove the
battery cover.
2
1
2. Insert batteries. Make sure to match the polarity:
(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
Checking the Supplied Accessories
Check to be sure you have all of the following supplied accessories. The number in the parentheses indicates the quantity of the pieces supplied.
• Remote Control (1)
• Batteries (2)
• AM Loop Antenna (1)
• FM Antenna (1)
If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.
3. Replace the cover.
If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace the batteries. Use two R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell batteries.
CAUTION:
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.

Notes:
• If the AM loop antenna wire is covered with vinyl, remove the vinyl while twisting it as shown to the right.
• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals, connecting cords and power cord. This could cause poor reception.
FM antenna connection
Connect the FM antenna supplied to the FM 75 COAXIAL terminal as temporary measure. Extend the supplied FM antenna horizontally.
• If reception is poor, connect an outdoor antenna. Before
attaching a 75 coaxial cable (with a standard type connector), disconnect the supplied FM antenna.

Getting Started
Connecting the Speakers
After connecting the front, center, rear speakers and/or a subwoofer, set the speaker setting information properly to obtain the best possible DSP effect. For details, see page 12.
CAUTION:
Use speakers with the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by the speaker terminals.

Creating Realistic Sound Fields

DOLBY SURROUND
You can use the following DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes to reproduce a realistic sound field.
• Surround modes
• DAP modes
Surround modes
Surround modes cannot be used when only the front speakers are connected to this receiver (without the rear speakers or center speaker).
Dolby Surround (Dolby Pro Logic)*
Used to reproduce sound tracks of the software encoded with Dolby Surround (
Dolby Surround encoding format records the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, and rear channel signals (total 4 channels) into 2 channels. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built in this receiver decodes these 2 channel signals into original 4 channel signals — matrix-based multichannel reproduction, and allows you to enjoy a realistic stereo 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-encoded
software.
DOLBY SURROUND
).
Dolby Digital*
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 6.)
Dolby Digital 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 rear channel, right rear channel, and LFE channel signals (total 6 channels, but LFE channel is counted as 0.1 channel. Therefore, called 5.1 channel). Since each channel is completely independent from the other channel signals to avoid interference, you can obtain much better sound quality with much stereo and surround effects. In addition, Dolby Digital enables stereo rear sounds, and sets the cutoff frequency of the rear treble at 20 kHz, compared to 7 kHz for Dolby Pro Logic. These facts enhance the sound movement and being-there feelings much more than Dolby Pro Logic.

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 6.)
DTS Digital Surround is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software. Compared to Dolby Digital, audio compression rate is relatively low. This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format to add breadth and depth to the reproduced sounds. As a result, DTS Digital Surround features natural, solid and clear sound.
).
JVC Theater Surround
Used to reproduce sound tracks of the software encoded with Dolby Surround (
• Theater Surround cannot be used only when the front speakers and rear speakers are connected to this receiver (without respect to the center speaker connection).
Theater Surround can add acoustic surround effects (DAP mode effects) to Dolby Surround software, and create a sound field of a theater in your listening room.
• When Theater Surround is selected, the PRO LOGIC and DSP indicators light up on the display.

DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) Modes
DAP modes have been designed to create important acoustic surround elements.
The sound heard in a hall, live club, dance club or pavilion 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 (see the diagram to the right). These indirect sounds are important elements of the acoustic surround effects.
The following DAP modes are provided with this receiver.
These DAP modes can be used to add the acoustic surround effects while reproducing stereo analog software or Linear PCM digital software, and can give you a real “being there” feeling.
• DAP modes can be used when the front and rear speakers are connected to this receiver (without respect to the center speaker connection: no sound comes out of the center speaker if it is connected).
• When one of the DAP modes is selected, the DSP indicator lights up on the display.

About Relations between Speaker Layout and DSP Modes
Available DSP modes will vary depending on how many speakers are used with this receiver.
Make sure that you have set the speaker information correctly (see page 12).
• If only front speakers are connected, you cannot use the DSP modes.
• If rear speakers are not connected, you cannot use Theater Surround and DAP modes.
