Getting started
Putting batteries in the remote control
Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.
1
Press and slide the
buttery cover on the bac k
of the remote control.
2
Inser t batteries.
Make sure to match the polarity:
(+) to (+) and () to ().
3
Replace the co ver.
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.
Precautions
General precautions
DO NOT disassemble the unit or remove screws, covers, or
cabinet.
DO NOT expose the unit to rain or moisture.
DO NOT expose the unit to direct sunlight or place it near a heating
device.
Locations
Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from
moisture and dust.
If water gets inside the unit, turn off the power and remove the plug
from the outlet, then consult your dealer. Using the unit in this state
may cause a fire or electrical shock.
Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold
between 5˚C and 35˚C
Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor
ventilation could cause overheating and damage the receiver.
Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.
Do not install the unit in a place subject to vibrations.
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 or AM (MW) channels and
sound adjustments may be erased in a few days.
When you are away on travel or otherwise for an extended period
or time, remove the plug from the wall outlet. A small amount of
power is always consumed while the power cord is connected to the
wall outlet.
To prevent the malfunction
There are no user-servicable parts inside. If anything goes wrong,
unplug the power cord and consult your dealer.
Do not insert any metallic objects, such as wires, hairpins, coins,
etc, into the unit.
Do not block the vents. Blocking the vents may damage the unit.
To clean the cabinet
Use a soft cloth. Follow the relevant instructions on the use of
chemically-coated cloths.
Do not use benzene, thinner or other organic solvents and
disinfectants. These may cause deformation or discoloring.
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.

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 VCR 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 VCR.
Connect a SCART cable to EXT-2 terminal on your JVCs T-V LINK
compatible TV for the T-V LINK function.
Some TV, VCR, STB and DVD players support the data
communication like T-V LINK. For complete details, refer also to the
manuals supplied with these components.
* For an analogue decoder
To watch or record a scrambled program on your VCR, connect the
analogue decoder to your VCR and select the scrambled channel on
your VCR.
If there is not an appropriate terminal for the decoder connection on
your VCR, connect the decoder to your TV.
Refer also to the manuals supplied with these components.
* For recording pictures from STB
When you connect a STB and a VCR directly with a SCART cable,
you can record the pictures from the STB onto VCR without using the
STB menu screens. For details, refer also to the manuals supplied
with the STB.
For digital sounds
To reproduce the digital sound, use both the digital connection and
the SCART cable connection (see pages 8 and 9).

Setting the speakers information
automatically—Smart Surround Setup
The distance from your listening point to the speakers is one of the
important element to obtain the best possible sound effect for the
Surround/DSP modes.
You need to set the delay time of the center and surround speakers
relative to the front speakers so that sounds through all the speakers
can reach you at the same time (see also page 18).
By using Smart Surround Setup, the speaker delay time and output
level are automatically calculated by one simple action—clapping
hands.
To use Smart Surround Setup effectively, connect both the center
and surround speakers.
You can also set the crossover frequency, the low frequency effect
attenuator and the dynamic range compression manually (see page
18).
When you change your speakers, do the following steps again.
From the remote control ONLY:
To obtain the best possible surround effect from Surround/DSP modes (see pages 28 to 33), you need to set up the speaker and subwoofer
information after all the connections are completed. You can set the speaker information using one of the following three methods.
Smart Surround Setup: Set the speakers information automatically by one simple action—clapping hands. The delay time and output level for
the center and surround speakers are set automatically.
Quick Setup: Set the speakers and subwoofer information quickly by entering the use of the subwoofer, the number of the speakers,
and your room size.
Manual Setup: Set the speakers and subwoofer information manually.
Before starting the speaker setting, connect and position the speakers and subwoofer (see page 7) and turn on the receiver.
3
Confirm “SETTING UP” stops flashing and clap
your hands over your head once while “SETTING
UP” appears on the display.
The receiver starts detecting the level of the sound coming
through all speakers (except the subwoofer).
After detecting the sound, one of the following indications appears
on the display.
SUCCESSFUL: Sound of your clapping is successfully
detected. The receiver sets the delay time
and the output level of the center and
surround speakers automatically.
SILENT: The receiver cannot detect sound from some
speakers.
SILENT-ALL: The receiver cannot detect any sound from all
speakers.
FAILED: The receiver cannot detect both right and left
channels for the front and/or surround
speakers correctly.
When the receiver cannot detect the sound correctly (“SILENT,
“SILENT-ALL or “FAILED” appears on the display), “SETTING
UP” appears on the display again then repeat step
3
.
The speaker delay time and output levels are set automatically
when:
—the receiver detects the sound as “SILENT” twice in
succession.
—the receiver detects the sound as “SILENT” at the third time
after detecting “SILENT”, “SILENT-ALL and/or “FAILED”
twice.
When the receiver detects the sound as “SILENT-ALL or
“FAILED” three times, “MANUAL” appears on the display. Set
the speaker and subwoofer information using Quick Setup (see
page 16) or Manual Setup (see page 17), and the speakers'
output levels for the center and surround speakers (see pages
31 to 33).
To cancel Smart Surround Setup, press SMART S. SETUP while
“SETTING UP” flashes on the display.
Any other operations cannot be done after “SETTING UP” stops
flashing. Complete the Smart Surround Setup.

Setting the speaker delay time
CNTR DL (center speaker delay),
SURR DL (surround speakers delay)
You can set the speaker delay time easily by using Smart Surround
Setup (see page 15) or Quick Setup (see page 16).
The distance from your listening point to the speakers is one of the
important element to obtain the best possible surround sound for the
Surround modes.
You need to set the delay time of the center and surround speakers
relative to the front speakers so that sounds through all the speakers
can reach you at the same time.
1 msec increase (or decrease) in delay time corresponds to (30 cm)
increase (or decrease) in distance.
CNTR DL*: Set the delay time for the center speaker within a
range of 0 msec to 5 msec (in 1 msec intervals).
SURR DL*: Set the delay time for the surround speakers within a
range of 0 msec to 15 msec (in 1 msec intervals).
* 0ms is the initial setting.
Example: In this case,
set CNTR DL to 1ms and
set SURR DL to 2ms.
NOTE
If you have selected NO for the center and surround speakers
setting (see page 17), you cannot set the speaker delay time for the
center and surround speakers.
Setting the crossover frequency—CROSS
Small speakers cannot reproduce the bass sounds efficiently. If you
use a small speaker in any position, this receiver automatically
reallocates the bass sound elements assigned to the small speaker to
the large speakers.
To use this function properly, set this crossover frequency level
according to the size of the small speaker connected.
If you have selected LRG (large) for all speakers (see page 17),
this function will not take effect.
80HZ: Select when the cone speaker unit built in the
speaker is about 12 cm.
100HZ: Select when the cone speaker unit built in the
speaker is about 10 cm.
120HZ: Select when the cone speaker unit built in the
speaker is about 8 cm.
150HZ*: Select when the cone speaker unit built in the
speaker is about 6 cm.
200HZ: Select when the cone speaker unit built in the
speaker is less than 5 cm.
* Initial setting
NOTE
Crossover frequency is not valid for the HEADPHONE mode.
Setting the low frequency effect attenuator
—LFE
If the bass sound is distorted while playing back software encoded
with Dolby Digital or DTS, set the LFE level to eliminate distortion.
This function takes effect only when the LFE signals come in.

10dB: Select when the bass sound is distorted.
* Initial setting
Setting the dynamic range compression
—D.COMP
You can compress the dynamic range (difference between maximum
sound and minimum sound) of the reproduced sound. This is useful
when listening to surround sound at night.
This function takes effect only when playing back a source encoded
with Dolby Digital.
OFF: Select when you want to enjoy surround with its full
dynamic range. (No effect applied.)

Creating realistic sound fields
Reproducing theater ambience
In a movie theater, 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 theater.
Introducing the Surround/DSP modes
You can use the following Surround/DSP modes with this receiver.
Surround modes
Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Digital
DTS
DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes
DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes
All Channel Stereo
Surround modes
Dolby Pro Logic II*
Dolby Pro Logic II has a newly developed multi-channel playback
format to decode all 2 channel sources—stereo source and Dolby
Surround encoded source—into 5.1 channel.
Matrix-based encoding/decoding method for Dolby Pro Logic II makes
no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the surround treble and
enables stereo surround sound compared to conventional Dolby Pro
Logic.
Dolby Pro Logic II enables you to reproduce spacious sound from
original sound without adding any new sounds and tonal colorations.
Dolby Pro Logic II has two modes—Movie mode and Music mode:
Pro Logic II Movie—suitable for 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—suitable for reproduction of any 2-channel stereo
music sources. You can enjoy wide and deep sound by using this
mode. For this mode, Panorama control can be selected, which gives
“wraparound” sound effect with side-wall image.
When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the PL II indicator lights up
on the display.
Dolby Digital*
Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed by
Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and
decoding (1 channel up to 5.1 channel).
Dolby Digital 5.1 channel 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, it is 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.
To enjoy software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the source
component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver.
(See page 8.)
NOTE
Dolby Digital software can be roughly grouped into two categories
—multi-channel (up to 5.1 channel) and 2 channel software. To enjoy
surround sound while playing Dolby Digital 2 channel software, you
can use Dolby Pro Logic II.

Creating realistic sound fields
DTS**
DTS is another digital signal compression method, developed by
Digital Theater Systems, Inc., and enables multi-channel encoding
and decoding.
DTS Digital 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.
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 8.)
DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes
DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes
DAP modes have been designed to create important acoustic
surround elements.
The sound heard in a live club, dance club, hall or pavilion 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 important elements of the acoustic
surround effects. The DAP mode can create these important
elements, and give you a real being there feeling.

These DAP modes can be used to add acoustic surround effects
while reproducing 2 channel stereo software, either analogue or
Linear PCM digital signal, and can give you a real being there
feeling.
When one of the DAP modes is selected, the DSP indicator lights
up on the display.
All Channel Stereo
This mode can reproduce a larger stereo sound field using all the
connected (and activated) speakers.
All Channel Stereo can be used when the front and surround
speakers are connected to this receiver without respect to the
center speaker connection.
If the center speaker is connected and activated, the same phase of
the front left and right signals are mixed and output through the
center speaker.
All Channel Stereo can be used while reproducing 2 channel stereo
software, either analogue or Linear PCM digital signal.
When All Channel Stereo is selected, the DSP indicator lights up on
the display.
DAP modes can be used when the front and surround speakers

While the disc you interrupted playback is
still on the disc tray, press 3.
The player resumes playback from the position where
playback was interrupted. The TV screen shows “RESUME
PLAY.
To play back from the beginning
Press 7 before pressing 3 to start playback.

1 Press 0 to insert a disc for which the player
has stored an interrupted position.
The TV screen shows “RESUME STOP”.
2 Press 3.
The TV screen shows “RESUME PLAY” and the player

NOTES
If you change the [RESUME] setting from [DISC RESUME] to
[OFF] or [ON], you cannot resume playback of a disc whose
“resuming” position is stored. However, when you again set
[RESUME] to [DISC RESUME], you will then be able to resume
playback of the disc.
If you interrupt the playback of a disc for which an interrupted
position has already been stored, the memory will be updated
with the new interrupted position.
For a double-sided DVD VIDEO disc, the player regards each
side as a different disc. Therefore, to resume playback of such a
disc, the disc must be inserted with the same side down.
When the player memorizes an interrupted point for a disc, it
also memorizes Audio, Subtitle and Angle settings.
The player may not resume playback exactly from the
interrupted point. In the case of an SVCD/Video CD disc with
PBC function, the player may resume playback from a point
slightly earlier or later than the point where playback was
interrupted.

About screen saver function
A television monitor may have an image burned into it if a static
image is displayed for a long time. To prevent this, the player
automatically activates the screen saver function if a static
picture, such as an on-screen display or menu, is displayed for
over 5 minutes.
When the screen saver function is activated, the TV screen
gets darker.
Pressing any buttons will release the screen saver function.

MP3/WMA disc playback
NOTE
Operations
The player can play back MP3 files and WMA files on a home
recorded CD-R/RW disc or commercially available CD. We refer
to a disc that contains MP3 and/or WMA files as an “MP3/WMA
disc” in this manual.
Note that if a disc contains both of MP3/WMA files and JPEG
files, you can only play back files of the type selected by the
[MP3&WMA/JPEG] setting in the [PICTURE] preference display
(see page 56).
About MP3/WMA discs
On an MP3/WMA disc, each song is recorded as a file (track).
Files are sometimes grouped into folders by artists, album, etc.
Each file is regarded as a track.
A folder which has one or more files is regarded as a group.
A folder which does not directly contain any tracks is ignored.
Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into “group
1.”
The player recognizes up to 150 tracks per group, and up to 99
groups per disc. If there are files other than MP3/WMA files,
they also count in the 150-file total.
Notes for making your own MP3/WMA disc using a
CD-R/CD-RW disc
Select “ISO 9660” as the disc format.
As for MP3 files, we recommend you to record your material at
a 44.1 kHz sampling rate, using the 128 kbps data transfer rate.

JPEG disc playback
NOTE
Note that if a disc contains both of MP3/WMA files and JPEG
files, you can only play back files of the type selected by the
[MP3&WMA/JPEG] setting in the [PICTURE] preference display
(see page 56).
About JPEG discs
On a JPEG disc, each picture is recorded as a file. Files are
sometimes grouped into folders by category, etc.
A folder which has one or more files is regarded as a group.
A folder which does not directly contain any files is ignored.
Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into “group
1.”
The player recognizes up to 150 files per group, and up to 99
groups per disc. If there are files other than JPEG files, they
also count against the 150-file total.
Notes for making your own JPEG disc using a CD-R/
CD-RW disc
Select “ISO 9660” as the disc format.
We recommend you to record your material at a 640 x 480 pixel
resolution.
This player supports the baseline JPEG format.

Appendix D: Glossary
Aspect ratio
A ratio which defines the shape of the rectangular picture in a TV.
It is the width of the picture relative to the height. A conventional
TV picture is 4:3 in aspect ratio.
Bitstream
The digital form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1-channel)
before it is decoded into its various channels.
Chapter/title
Chapter is the smallest division and title is the largest division on
DVD VIDEO. A chapter is a division of a title and similar to a track
for Video CD or Audio CD.
Component video
Video signals with three channels of separate information that
makes up the picture. There are some types of component video,
such as R/G/B and Y/C
B(PB)/CR(PR).
Composite video
A single video signal commonly used in most consumer video
products that contains all luminance, color, and synchronization
information.
Dolby Digital (AC3)
A six-channel system consisting of left, center, right, left rear,
right rear and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect channel, for use with a
sub-woofer) channels. All processing is done in the digital
domain. Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channels of
information.
Dolby Surround/Dolby Pro Logic
Dolby Surround records four channels of front and rear audio in
two channels in a way that allows a decoder to recover the
original four channels for playback. Because the audio is
recorded in two channels, it can be played back naturally by a
two-channel stereo system.
Dolby Pro Logic introduces directional circuits in decoder-side
processing (increasing the level of specific channels and lowering
the level of silent channels) for greater spatial perspective, and
adds a center speaker used primarily for dialog. The result is
enhanced channel separation.
Down-mix
Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a DVD
player. The down-mix signals are output from stereo output
connectors.
DTS
A Digital Surround audio encoding format configured with six
(5.1) channels, similar to Dolby Digital. It requires a decoder,
either in the player or in an external receiver. DTS stands for
Digital Theater Systems.
Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.
Dynamic range
The difference between the loudest and softest sounds.
JPEG
A popular file format for still image compression and storage.
JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group.
There are three sub-types of the JPEG format as follows.
baseline JPEG: used for digital cameras, the web, etc.
progressive JPEG: used for the web
lossless JPEG: an old type, rarely used now
Linear PCM audio
PCM stands for “pulse code modulation.” Linear PCM is the usual
method for digitally encoding audio without compression, and is
used for the audio tracks on DVD VIDEO discs, Audio CDs, etc.
MP3
MP3 is an audio data compression format, which stands for
MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Using MP3, you can achieve a data
reduction of about 1:10.
MPEG
A family of Standards for compressing audio-visual infromation.
“MPEG” standards include MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4.
Video CD and MP3 are based on MPEG-1, while DVD is based
on MPEG-2. MPEG stands for Moving Picture coding Experts
Group.
MPEG Multichannel
This feature expands the 5.1 channel audio format recorded on
the disc to a 7.1 channel format. The further expansion of the 5.1
channel audio makes it easy for you to reproduce the movie
theater experience in your own home.
PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)
A color television system format used extensively in Western
Europe.
PBC
PBC stands for “Playback control” and is a method of controlling
disc play for Video CDs (VCD). You are able to interact with the
disc through menus.
RGB
An abbreviation for Red, Green and Blue. Color monitors and
color television sets display different hues by mixing these three
colors.
S-video
A video signal which improves picture quality over standard
composite connections. Used on Super VHS, DVD, high end TV
monitors, etc.
Track
The smallest division on SVCD, Video CD and Audio CD discs.
WMA
WMA is an abbreviation of “Windows Media Audio,” and is an
audio data compression format developed by Microsoft
Corporation. Sound quality of data compressed using WMA is
the same as that of MP3, though the WMA file size is smaller
than that of MP3.

    • Volgens mij zit er een relaisschakelaar in…
      Bij aanzetten hoor je duidelijk een klik!
      Jij voor de zekerheid naar de weerstanden of deze geen bruine plekken hebben veroorzaakt op je printplaat.
      Het gaat om de vertragings relais welke uitgaat vanwege Te hoge weerstand (weerstanden worden goed heet)
      Soortgelijk incident gevonden op Klik op deze LINK

      Succes ermee.

  • Ik krijg geluid met afspelen van CD en DVD maar uit 1 speaker. Rest van de speakers niets te horen.
    heb surround knop alles geprobeerd maar blijft uit 1 frontspeaker maar geluid komen.
    Heeft iemand de oplossing? BVD Gesteld op 11-2-2019 om 14:03

    • Heb je de rest vab de speakers geprobeerd op die ene die het wel doet?
      Krijg je geen geluid, proberen dan andere kabels.
      Staat hij op analoog of digitaal ingesteld?
      Via de “test” knop kun je horen of alles goed is aangesloten...
      Doet hij nog steeds niets, kun je overwegen tot een reparatie.
      Hoop dat je hiermee iets kunt. Gr, Hans Geantwoord op 11-2-2019 om 16:13
