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
Dolby Digital EX*
Dolby Digital EX is newly introduced surround encoding format
as an extension of multi-channel Dolby Digital, designed to add
an extra surround channel to Dolby Digital 5.1-channel. By using
a matrix encoding/decoding method, additional “surround back”
channel signal is encoded (and decoded) in both the left and right
surround channel signals.
DTS-ES Extended Surround (DTS-ES)**
DTS-ES is another new format developed by Digital Theater
Systems, Inc., adding a surround back channel on the basis of
DTS Digital Surround.
Dolby Pro Logic II*
Dolby Pro Logic II converts all 2-channel stereo software,
especially Dolby Surround encoded software, into 5-channel
(plus subwoofer) signals. It reproduces realistic Surround sounds
approaching to Dolby Digital 5.1-channel. Dolby Pro Logic II has
two modes to reproduce—Movie mode and Music mode.
Neo:6**
Neo:6 can reproduce realistic Surround fields by converting
2-channel stereo software into 6-channel (plus subwoofer) signals.
Neo:6 has two modes to reproduce—Neo:6 Cinema and Neo:6
Music.
DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor)
Sound field simulation technology allows precise ambience
recreation of existing theaters and halls. Thanks to the high-
performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and high-capacity
memory, you can enjoy 5.1-channel surround by playing
2-channel 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 like Dolby Digital, DTS Digital Surround,
etc. Thanks to the new signal processing algorithms used by the
high-performance DSP, you can enjoy a natural surround sound
through the headphones.
COMPU LINK/TEXT COMPU LINK/AV COMPU
LINK remote control systems
These COMPU LINK remote control systems allow you to
operate other JVC’s 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.
Ventilation
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 expose this apparatus to rain, moisture, dripping or
splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases
shall be placed on the apparatus.
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.

Using Surround Modes and DSP Modes
This unit activates a variety of Surround modes and DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes. To use Surround and DSP
modes properly, speakers required for creating each Surround and DSP modes should be activated.
Surround Modes
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.
Introducing the Surround Modes
Dolby Surround
Dolby Digital EX*
Dolby Digital EX is newly introduced surround encoding format as
an extension of multi-channel Dolby Digital, designed to add an
extra surround channel to Dolby Digital 5.1-channel (see below). By
using a matrix encoding/decoding method, additional “surround
back” channel signal is encoded (and decoded) in both the left and
right surround channel signals.
Compared to the conventional Dolby Digital 5.1-channel, this 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, so
that you can enjoy a realistic surround field in your listening room.
Best used to reproduce multi-channel movie sound tracks of the
software encoded with Dolby Digital EX (
).
To enjoy the software encoded with Dolby Digital EX, connect the
source component using the digital terminals on the rear of this
receiver. (See page 13.)
Dolby Digital*
Used to reproduce multi-channel sound tracks of the software
encoded with Dolby Digital (
DIGITAL
).
Dolby Digital 5.1-channel 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
surround channel, right surround 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 a much better
sound quality with better stereo and surround effects.
To enjoy the software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the
source component using the digital terminals on the rear of this
receiver. (See page 13.)
* Dolby Digital software can be roughly grouped into two categories
multi-channel (up to 5.1-channel) and 2-channel software. To
enjoy surround sounds while playing Dolby Digital 2-channel
software, you can use Dolby Pro Logic II.
Dolby Pro Logic II*
Dolby Pro Logic II has a newly developed multi-channel playback
format to convert all 2-channel software into 5-channel (plus subwoofer).
Matrix-based conversion method for Dolby Pro Logic II makes no
limitation for the cutoff frequency of the surround treble and enables
stereo surround sound unavailable with conventional Dolby Pro Logic.
Dolby Pro Logic II can reproduce spacious sound from original
sound without adding any new sounds and tonal colorations.
Dolby Pro Logic II has two modesMovie mode and Music mode:
Pro Logic II Movie (PL II MOVIE)suitable for the reproduction
of Dolby Surround encoded sources bearing the mark
DOLBY SURROUND
.
You can enjoy a sound field very close to the one created with
discrete 5.1-channel sounds.
Pro Logic II Music (PL II MUSIC)suitable for the reproduction
of any 2-channel stereo sources. You can enjoy wide and deep sound
by using this mode. For this mode, you can make precise
adjustments to match the sound to your taste.
When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the
PRO LOGIC II
indicator lights up on the display.

Used to reproduce multi-channel sound tracks of the software
encoded with DTS Digital Surround (
).
DTS Digital Surround is a discrete 5.1-channel digital audio
format available on CD, LD, and DVD software.
Compared to Dolby Digital, DTS Digital Surround format has a
lower audio compression ratio which enables it to add breadth and
depth to the sounds reproduced. As such, DTS Digital Surround
features natural, solid and clear sound.
To enjoy the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround,
connect the source component using the digital terminals on the
rear of this receiver. (See page 13.)

DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes
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 (see the diagram below). These indirect sounds are
the most important elements of the acoustic surround effects.
The DAP mode can reproduce a realistic sound field by adding these
indirect sounds.
You can use the following DAP modes in order to reproduce a more
acoustic sound field in your listening room.
HALL 1: Gives clear vocal and the feeling of a large concert
hall (where the seating capacity is about 1,000).
HALL 2: Gives clear vocal and the feeling of a small concert
hall (where the seating capacity is about 300).
LIVE CLUB: Gives the feeling of a live music club with a low
ceiling.
DANCE CLUB: Gives a throbbing bass beat.
PAVILION: Gives the spacious feeling of a pavilion with a
high ceiling.
JVC Theater Surround

When you press the play (
33
33
3) button on a connected component or
on its own remote control, the receiver automatically turns on and
changes the source to the component. On the other hand, if you
select a new source on the receiver or on the remote control, the
selected component begins playing immediately.
In both cases, the previously selected source continues playing
without sound for a few seconds.
Automatic Power On/Off (Standby): only possible with
the COMPU LINK-3 and COMPU LINK-4
The connected components turn on and off (standby) along with the
receiver.
When you turn on the receiver, one of the connected components
will turn on automatically, depending on which component has been
previously selected.
When you turn off the receiver, the connected components will turn
off (standby).
Synchronized Recording
Synchronized recording means the cassette deck (or MD recorder)
starts recording as soon as a CD begins playing.
To use synchronized recording, follow these steps:
1. Put a tape in the cassette deck (or an MD in the
MD recorder), and a disc in the CD player.
2. Press the record () button and the pause (8)
button on the cassette deck (or MD recorder) at
the same time.
This puts the cassette deck (or MD recorder) into recording
pause.
If you do not press the record () button and pause (8) button at
the same time, the synchronized recording feature will not
operate.
3. Press the play (3) button on the CD player.
The source changes on the receiver, and as soon as play starts,
the cassette deck (or MD recorder) starts recording. When the
play ends, the cassette deck (or MD recorder) enters recording
pause, and stops about 4 seconds later.
Notes:
During synchronized recording, the selected source cannot be
changed.
If the power of any component is shut off during synchronized
recording, the COMPU LINK remote control system may not
operate properly. In this case, you must start again from the
beginning.

plugs (see pages 8 and 9).
Make sure that the AC power cords of these components are
unplugged before connection. Plug the AC power cords only after
all connections are complete.
Notes:
There are four versions of COMPU LINK remote control system.
This receiver is equipped with the fourth versionCOMPU LINK-4.
This version is added systematic operations with the CD recorder to
the previous versionCOMPU LINK-3.
If your audio component has two COMPU LINK jacks, you can use
either one. If it has only one COMPU LINK jack, connect it so that it
is the last item in the series of components. (For example, the
turntable or CD player in the diagram above.)
To operate a cassette deck or MD recorder using the COMPU LINK
remote control system, set the source name correctly. (See page
17.)
Refer also to the manuals supplied with your audio components.

components terminals. To use this remote control system, you need to connect the video components you want to operate, following the
diagrams below and the procedure on the next page.
CONNECTIONS 1: AV COMPU LINK Connection
CONNECTIONS 2: Video Cable Connection
This receiver is equipped with three types of the video terminals—S-video, composite video, and component video, and the signals coming
into this receiver through one type of video jacks can output only through the jack of the same type. So you need to connect the VCR and/or
DVD player to the TV using one of the following three ways:
When using the AV COMPU LINK remote control system, set the component video input for the DVD player and the DBS tuner
correctly (see “7 Setting the Component Video Input” on page 25); otherwise, the correct input for this receiver will not be selected on
the TV.
Notes:
