Getting started
Before installation
General Precautions
• DO NOT insert any metal object into the unit.
• DO NOT disassemble the unit or remove screws, covers, or cabinet.
• DO NOT expose the unit to rain or moisture.
Locations
• Install the unit in a location that is level and protected from moisture.
• The temperature around the unit must be between –5˚C and 35˚C.
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the unit. Poor ventilation
could cause overheating and damage the unit.
Handling the unit
• 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 or AM (MW) channels and
sound adjustments may be erased in a few days.
Checking the supplied accessories
Check to be sure you have all of the following supplied accessories.
The number in parentheses indicates the quantity of each piece
supplied.
• Remote control (1)
• Batteries (2)
• AM (MW) loop antenna (1)
• FM antenna (1)
• SCART cable (1)
• Digital coaxial cord (1)
If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.
Putting batteries in the remote control
Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.
1
Press and slide the
battery cover on the back
of the remote control.
2
Insert batteries.
Make sure to match the polarity:
(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
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.
• Supplied butteries are for initial setup. Replace for continued use.
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.
When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at the
remote sensor on the front panel.

vinyl-covered wire (not supplied).
AM (MW) loop
antenna (supplied)
Snap the tabs on the loop
into the slots of the base to
assemble the AM (MW) loop
antenna.
AM (MW) antenna connection
Connect the AM (MW) loop antenna supplied to the AM LOOP
terminals.
Connect the white cord to the AM EXT terminal, and the black cord to
H terminal.
Turn the loop until you have the best reception.
• If the reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinyl-covered
wire (not supplied) to the AM EXT terminal. Keep the AM (MW) loop
antenna connected.
FM antenna connection
Connect the FM antenna supplied to the FM 75 Ω COAXIAL terminal
as temporary measure.
Extend the supplied FM antenna horizontally.
• If the reception is poor, connect an outdoor FM antenna (not
supplied). Before attaching a 75 Ω coaxial cable with a connector
(IEC or DIN 45325), disconnect the supplied FM antenna.
01-10_RX-ES9SL[B]f03.6.27, 16:455
NOTES
• If the AM (MW) loop antenna wire is covered with
vinyl, remove the vinyl while twisting it as shown on
the right.
• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any
other terminals, connecting cords and power cord.
This could cause poor reception.

Connect the input jack of a powered subwoofer to the
SUBWOOFER OUT jack on the rear panel, using a cord
with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).
• Refer also to the manual supplied with your subwoofer.
NOTE
You can place a subwoofer wherever you like since bass sound is
non-directional. Normally place it in front of you.

Getting started
For TV and video format
• When the TV is equipped with the multiple SCART terminals, refer
to the TV manual to check the available video signals for each
terminal, then connect SCART cable correctly.
• This receiver cannot convert the video signals (S-video or
Composite). When the video signal of one video component is
different from that of the other (for example, one is S-video, the
other is Composite), you may not see the pictures appropriately. In
this case, unify the video signals of all the video components into
S-video or Composite, or you need to switch the video signal of TV
each time you change the source.
For T-V LINK
• You can use the T-V LINK function if you connect a T-V LINK
compatible TV and VR to this receiver with a fully wired SCART
cables. For details on T-V LINK, refer also to the manuals supplied
with the TV and the VR.
• Connect a SCART cable to EXT-2 terminal on your JVC’s T-V LINK
compatible TV for the T-V LINK function.
• Some TV, VR, STB and DVD players support the data
communication like T-V LINK. For complete details, refer also to the
manuals supplied with these components.

Connecting the power cord
Before plugging the power cord into an AC outlet, make sure that all connections have been made.
Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.
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 alter, twist or pull the power cord when disconnecting it, or put anything heavy on it, which may cause fire, electric shock, or other
accidents.
