To obtain the best possible sound effect from Surround/DSP modes (see pages 29 to 33), you need to set up the speaker and subwoofer information after all the connections are completed. From pages 14 to 19, 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 for 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
NOTES
• Before starting Smart Surround Setup, set the speaker information correctly (SML, LRG, or NO) according to your speakers except the subwoofer (see page 16).
• When the setting is made by Smart Surround Setup, the speaker distance and output level you have set before will be inactive.
• If you have turned off the display, cancel the Dimmer (see page
13); otherwise, you cannot see the information on the display during Smart Surround Setup.
• 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.
Basic settings
From the remote control ONLY:
1
Take your position where you listen to the sound.
• Make sure speaker cables are connected firmly.
14
When operating the receiver using the remote control, set the mode selector to “AUDIO/TV/VCR/STB.”
2
Press and hold SMART SURROUND SETUP until “SETTING UP” flashes on the display.
3
Confirm that “SETTING UP” stops flashing, then clap your hands over your head once while “SETTING UP” still remains on the display.
The receiver starts detecting the level of the sound coming through each speakers (except the subwoofer).
When your clapping sound is detected successfully,
“SUCCESSFUL” appears on the display, then the values set are shown as follows: Ex.:
Then the receiver returns to normal operation mode.
*1 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.
*2 L: Left front speaker
R: Right front speaker C: Center speaker LS: Left surround speaker RS: Right surround speaker
*3 Difference of each speaker position in distance (in
meters or feet).
*4 Each speaker’s output level (–6 to +6).
When your clapping sound is not detected correctly,
“SETTING UP” appears again after one of the following messages appears on the display.
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
SILENT-ALL: The receiver cannot detect any sound from any

right front speaker.
In the following cases, set the speakers manually.
• When the receiver detects the sound as “SILENT” twice in succession.
The setting is 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 the receiver fails to detect the sound three times.
“MANUAL” appears on the display. The receiver exits from Smart Surround Setup.
To cancel Smart Surround Setup, press SMART SURROUND SETUP while “SETTING UP” flashes on the display.
• No other operations can be done after “SETTING UP” stops flashing. Complete the Smart Surround Setup.
To check the setting made by Smart Surround Setup, press SMART SURROUND SETUP while the receiver is in normal operation mode. The setting values appear one after another (see page 14).
• If you have changed speaker distance and/or output level manually after using Smart Surround Setup, “MANUAL” appears.
• If you have not used Smart Surround Setup, “NO S.S.S.” appears.
NOTES
• 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 distance (see page 17). – When you change one of the speaker output level (see page
21).
– When you change one of the speaker size either from “NO” to
“SML” or “LRG,” or from “SML” or ”LRG” to “NO” (see page 16).
• When you want to adjust the speaker distance and output level manually, see pages 17 and 21.
• Do not clap your hands so hard that it may hurt your hands.

• Auto Surround also works when the input mode changes from analogue to digital.
• For details about the Surround/DSP modes, see pages 29 to 31.
Select “AUTO SR: ON” when activating Auto Surround.
Setting the Auto Function mode AUTO MODE
The source will be selected automatically simply by turning on a video component.
• This function takes effect for the video components connected to the receiver using the SCART cable—DVR/DVD and VCR.
Auto Function mode works as follows:
• When a video component is turned on, the receiver selects the video component as the source (and the TV input is changed automatically).
• When a video component currently selected as the source is turned off, the receiver changes the source to the video source previously selected—DVR/DVD, VCR, or VIDEO.
MODE: AUTO1 Auto Function mode works when the receiver
is turned on or when TV Direct is activated.
MODE: AUTO2 Auto Function mode works when the receiver
is turned on or off, or when TV Direct is activated. (When a video component is turned on while the receiver is off, TV Direct is activated and the receiver selects the video component as the source.)
MODE:MANUAL You need to select the source manually.
Initial setting: MODE:MANUAL
When “MODE: AUTO1” or “MODE: AUTO2” is selected, the AUTO MODE indicator lights up on the display.
Basic settings
AUTO SR: ON
The AUTO SR indicator lights up on the display.
• If a multi-channel signal comes in, an appropriate Surround mode will be turned on.
• If a Dolby Digital 2-channel or DTS 2-channel signal with surround signal comes in, “PLII MOVIE” will be selected.
• If a Dolby Digital 2-channel or DTS 2-channel signal without surround signal comes in, “SURRND OFF (stereo)” will be selected.
• If a Linear PCM signal comes in, nothing will change.
AUTO SR:OFF
Select to deactivate Auto Surround.
Initial setting: AUTO SR:OFF
NOTES
• When selecting VCR as the source, “MODE: AUTO1” or “MODE: AUTO2” may not work if you only turn on the VCR. If this happens, you may need to start playback to activate Auto Function mode.
• When Auto Function mode is set to “MODE: AUTO2,” the TV Direct may be activated after recovery from a power failure.

The receiver automatically tunes in to the station except in the following cases:
• When you are listening to non-RDS Networks—all AM (MW) stations, some FM stations and other sources.
• When the receiver is in standby mode or TV Direct mode.
While receiving an emergency broadcast, “Alarm !” appears on the display.
The TEST signal is used for equipment test—whether it can receive the Alarm ! signal correctly
The TEST signal makes the receiver work in the same way as the Alarm ! signal does. If the TEST signal is received, the receiver automatically switches to the station broadcasting the TEST signal. While receiving the TEST signal, “TEST” appears on the display.
TA: Traffic Announcement in your area. NEWS: News. INFO: Program the purpose of which is to impart advice in the
widest sense.
How the Enhanced Other Networks function actually works:
If another FM station starts broadcasting the program type you have selected while you are listening to an FM station
The receiver automatically switches to the station. The indicator of the received program type starts flashing.
When the program is over, the receiver goes back to the station previously tuned in, but still remains in Enhanced Other Networks standby mode. The indicator of the received program type stops flashing and remains lit.
If the station currently tuned in starts broadcasting the program type you have selected
The receiver continues to receive the station, but the indicator
Tuner operations
of the received program type starts flashing.
When the program is over, the indicator of the received program type stops flashing and remains lit, but the receiver remains in Enhanced Other Networks standby mode.
NOTES
• Enhanced Other Networks data sent from some stations may
not be compatible with this receiver.
• Enhanced Other Networks does not function for some FM
stations with RDS service.
• While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other
Networks function, the station does not change even if another network station starts broadcasting a program of the same Enhanced Other Networks data.
• While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other
Networks function, you can only use the TA/NEWS/INFO and DISPLAY.
CAUTION:
If the stations alternate intermittently between the station tuned by the Enhanced Other Networks function and the currently tuned station, press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly to cancel the Enhanced Other Networks function. If you do not press the button, the currently tuned station is received finally, and the indication of the Enhanced Other Networks data type flashing on the display disappears.

Creating realistic sound fields
Reproducing theatre ambience
In a movie theatre, many speakers are located on the walls to reproduce impressive multi-surround sound, reaching you from all directions. With these many speakers, sound localization and sound movement can be expressed. Surround/DSP modes built in this receiver can create almost the same Surround sound as you can feel in a real movie theatre.
Introducing the Surround modes
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 Dolby Digital signal is detected through the digital input, the DOLBY D indicator lights up on the display.
Dolby Digital 5.1CH
Dolby Digital 5.1CH (DOLBY D) 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.
Another digital surround encoding format introduced by Dolby Laboratories is Dolby Digital EX, which adds the third surround channels, called “surround back.” Compared 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.
• You can use Virtual Surround Back (see page 18) when playing back Dolby Digital EX software. This function creates the great surround effect from the behind as if you have connected the surround back speaker. The VIRTUAL SB indicator lights up on the display.
Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II is a multi-channel playback format to convert 2­channel software into 5-channel (plus subwoofer). The matrix­based 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 indicator lights up on the display.
PLII 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.
PLII MUSIC: Suitable for playing any 2-channel stereo
software. You can enjoy wide and deep sounds.
• To enjoy software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver. (See page 9.)

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 DTS signal is detected through the digital input, the DTS indicator lights up on the display.
DTS Digital Surround
DTS Digital Surround (DTS) 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.
Another multi-channel digital surround encoding format introduced by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. is DTS Extended Surround
(DTS-ES).
It greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and space expression by adding the third surround channel—surround back channel. DTS-ES includes two signal formats with different surround signal recording methods—DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch and DTS-ES Matrix
6.1ch.
• You can use the Virtual Surround Back (see page 18) when playing back DTS-ES software. This function creates the great surround effect from the behind as if you have connected the surround back speaker. The VIRTUAL SB indicator lights up on the display.
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 “better­than-CD sound quality” into the home.
• When DTS 96/24 signal is detected, the DTS and 96/24 indicators light up. You can enjoy its 5.1-channel sound with full­quality.
**“DTS” and “DTS 96/24” are trademarks of Digital Theater
Systems, Inc.
When using Surround mode, the sounds come out of the activated speakers which the Surround mode requires.
• If either the surround speakers or center speaker is set to
“NO” in the speaker setting (see page 16), the corresponding
channel signals are allocated to and emitted through the front speakers.
• If both the surround speakers and center speaker are set to
“NO” in the speaker setting (see page 16), JVC’s original 3D-
PHONIC processing (which has been developed to create the surround effect through the front speakers only) is used. The 3D indicator lights up on the display.
3D HEADPHONE mode
If you connect a pair of headphones while one of the Surround modes is in use, the 3D HEADPHONE mode is activated without respect to the type of software played back. “3DHEADPHONE” appears on the display and the DSP, 3D, and HP indicators light up.
About other digital signals
Linear PCM
Uncompressed digital audio data used for DVDs, CDs, and Video CDs. DVDs support 2 channels with sampling rates of 48/96 kHz, at quantization of 16/20/24 bits. On the other hand, CDs and Video CDs are limited to 2 channels with 44.1 kHz at 16 bits.
• When Linear PCM signal is detected, the LPCM indicator lights up.
Dual Mono
Dual Mono can be easily understood when you think of the bilingual broadcast for TV programs (however, the Dual Mono format is not identical with those analogue formats). This format is now adopted in Dolby Digital, DTS, and so on. It allows two independent channels (called main channel and sub-channel) to be recorded separately.
• You can select either channel you want to listen to (see page 18).

Introducing the DSP modes
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 DSP modes can create these important elements, and give you a real “being there” feeling.
Reflections from behind
Early reflections
Direct sounds
The DSP modes include the following modes:
• Digital Acoustic Processor (DAP) modes—HALL1, HALL2, LIVE CLUB, DANCE CLUB, PAVILION, THEATRE1, THEATRE2
• MONO FILM—Used for all types of 2-channel signals (including Dual Mono signal)
• All Channel Stereo mode (ALL CH ST.)
When one of the DSP modes is activated, the DSP indicator lights up on the display.
When using the DAP mode, the sounds come out of all the connected and activated speakers.
If the surround speakers are set to “NO” in the speaker setting (see page 16), JVC’s original 3D-PHONIC processing
(which has been developed to create the surround effect through the front speakers only) is used. The 3D indicator lights up on the display.
MONO FILM
In order to reproduce a more acoustic sound field in your listening room while viewing monaural sound video software (analogue and 2-channel digital signals including Dual Mono signal), you can use this mode. The surround effect will be added, and the sound localization of actor’s words will be improved.
This mode cannot be used for multi-channel digital signals.
When “MONO FILM” is used, sounds come out of all the connected (and activated) speakers.
If the surround speakers are set to “NO” in the speaker setting (see page 16), JVC’s original 3D-PHONIC processing (which has been developed to create the surround effect through the front speakers only) is used. The 3D indicator lights up on the display.
• If incoming signals change from 2-channel digital signal to another digital signal type, “MONO FILM” is canceled and an appropriate Surround mode is activated.
All Channel Stereo mode (ALL CH ST.)
This mode can reproduce a larger stereo sound field using all the connected (and activated) speakers. This mode cannot be used
without activating the surround speakers.
Digital Acoustic Processor (DAP) modes
You can use the following DAP modes in order to reproduce a more acoustic sound field in your listening room.
HALL1 Reproduces the spatial feeling of a large
shoebox-shaped hall designed primarily for classical concerts. (Its seating capacity is about
2000.)
HALL2 Reproduces the spatial feeling of a large
vineyard-shaped hall designed primarily for classical concerts. (Its seating capacity is about
2000.)
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.
THEATRE1 Reproduces the spatial feeling of a large theatre
where the seating capacity is about 600.
THEATRE2 Reproduces the spatial feeling of a small theatre
where the seating capacity is about 300.
NOTE
When “THEATRE1” or “THEATRE2” is activated while playing back 2-channel analogue or digital source, the built-in Dolby Pro Logic II decoder is activated and the indicator lights up.
Sound reproduced from normal stereo
Sound reproduced from All Channel Stereo mode
3D HEADPHONE mode
If you connect a pair of headphones while one of the DSP modes is in use, the 3D HEADPHONE mode is activated without respect to the type of software played back. “3DHEADPHONE” appears on the display and the DSP, 3D, and HP indicators light up.
