Connecting the Speakers

You can connect the following speakers:

• Two pairs of front speakers to produce normal stereo sound.

• One pair of rear speakers to enjoy the surround effect.

• One center speaker to produce more effective surround effect (to emphasize human voices).

• One subwoofer to enhance the bass.

For each speaker (except for subwoofer), connect the black (–) and red (+) terminals on the rear panel to the black (–) and red (+) terminals marked on the speakers. For connecting a subwoofer, see page 7.

CAUTION:

When connecting speakers, use speakers with the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by the speaker terminals.

Connecting the front speakers

Cut, twist and remove the insulation at the end of each speaker signal cable first, and then, connect the front speakers to the FRONT SPEAKERS terminals by using the cables.

You can connect two pairs of front speakers (one pair to the FRONT SPEAKERS 1 terminals, and another pair to the FRONT SPEAKERS 2 terminals).

About the speaker impedance of the speakers

CAUTION:

When connecting speakers, use speakers with the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by the speaker terminals.

Notes:

• The required speaker impedance of the front speakers does not differ depending on whether both the

FRONT SPEAKERS 1 and FRONT SPEAKERS 2 terminals are used or only one of them is used.

• The required speaker impedance of the front speakers differs depending on whether or not a center and/ or rear speakers are connected at the same time. Since there are four possible speaker connections with the receiver, check which one fits your case and use the speaker with the impedance described below.

If your audio components have a COMPU LINK-3 terminal

The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to control other JVC audio components from the receiver or vice versa.

Connect your audio components and the receiver with the cable (monaural mini-plug supplied with those components) as well as the connection above.

For detailed information about the connection and the COMPU LINK-3 remote control system, see page 41.

Note:

The COMPU LINK-3 remote control system is the upgraded version of the COMPU LINK-1 and COMPU

LINK-2. Even if your component has the COMPU LINK-1 or COMPU LINK-2 jacks, you can still connect it in the COMPU LINK-3 remote control system, but some functions may not work correctly.

The STANDBY lamp lights up. A small amount of power is always consumed.

To shut off the power completely:

Press POWER to set it in the

—OFF position.

Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables for the TV, VCR, and 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.

The difference between the POWER switch and the STANDBY/ON button

• The POWER switch is the mains supply switch, allowing the receiver to connect to the mains supply.

To shut off the power completely, press the POWER switch to set it in the

—OFF position.

• The STANDBY/ON button is a functional on/off (standby) switch, and does not disconnect the receiver from the mains supply. A small amount of power is consumed even in standby mode for the receiver to accept signals from the remote control.

Note:

A preset settings such as preset channels and sound adjustments may be erased in the following cases:

• When you press POWER to set it in the

—OFF position.

• When you unplug the power cord.

• When a power failure occurs.

CAUTIONS:

• 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.

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 cover as illustrated.

2. Insert batteries. Make sure to observe the proper polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

3. Replace the cover in.

R03 (UM-4)/AAA (24F)

Page 11

RX-730RBK(EF)0054-001A.En.01-28 11

If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace the batteries. Use two R03 (UM-4)/AAA

(24F) type dry-cell batteries.

Note:

When you replacing the batteries, finish it without delay; otherwise, the control signals you have stored are all erased. (See pages 45 and 47.)

CAUTIONS:

Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:

• Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity indicated: (+) 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.

Using the RDS (Radio Data System) to Receive FM Stations

RDS allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular program signals. For example, the stations send their station names, as well as information about what type of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.

When tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS service, the RDS indicator lights up on the display.

With the receiver, you can receive the following types of RDS signals.

PS (Program Service) :

PTY (Program Type) :

RT (Radio Text) : shows commonly known station names shows types of broadcast programs shows text messages the station sends

About characters shown on the display

When the display shows PS, PTY, or RT signals, the following characters are used.

• The display cannot differentiate upper case and lower case letters and always uses upper case letters.

• The display cannot show accented letters, “A”, for instance, may stand for accented “A’s” like “Å, Ä,

Ã, Á, À, and Â.”

Using the Surround Processor

The built-in surround processor provides three types of surround programs — Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby 3-

Channel Logic, and JVC’s Hall Surround.

What is surround?

The sound heard in a concert hall or a movie theater consists of direct sound and indirect sound: early reflections and reflections from behind. The reflected sounds are always delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls from the listener. These reflections are some of the most important elements of the acoustic surround.

Early reflections

Direct sound

Reflections from behind

On JVC’s Hall Surround

In order to reproduce a more realistic sound field in your listening room while playing an ordinary stereo source, JVC’s Hall Surround has been designed to give you clear vocals and to create the feeling of a concert hall. The sound is reproduced through the front speakers and rear speakers.

On Dolby Surround

Dolby Surround has been also developed to reproduce the important elements of the acoustic surround at home.

To watch the soundtracks of video software bearing the mark

DOLBY SURROUND

* which includes the same encoded surround information as found in Dolby Stereo films, the receiver can provide you with 2 Dolby Surround programs (Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby 3ch Logic).

Dolby Pro Logic: Select this mode when the optional rear speakers are connected (as well as a center speaker).

Dolby 3ch Logic: Select this mode when a center speaker is connected without rear speakers.

* Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories Licensing

Corporation. “Dolby,” the double-D symbol, and “Pro Logic” are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

Notes:

• The surround processor has no effect on monaural sources.

• The surround processor cannot be used for recording.

Notes:

• If your audio component has two COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) jacks, you can use either one. If it has only one COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) 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.)

• Refer also to the manuals supplied with your audio components.

This remote control system allows you to use four functions listed below.

Turntable

You can control the connected audio components through the remote sensor on the receiver using this remote control. For details, see pages 42 and 43.

Note:

Aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the receiver.

When you press the play (

3 automatically turns on and changes the source to the component. On the other hand, if you select a new source on the receiver or the remote control, the selected component begins playing immediately.

In both cases, the previously selected source continues playing without sound for a few seconds.

Both the CD player and cassette deck turn on and off (into standby mode) along with the receiver.

When you turn on the receiver, the CD player or cassette deck will turn on automatically, depending on which component has been previously selected.

When you turn off the receiver (into standby mode), both the CD player and cassette deck will turn off (into standby mode).

Synchronized recording means the cassette deck starts recording as soon as a CD or a record begins playing.

To use synchronized recording, follow these steps:

1 Put a tape in the cassette deck, and a disc in the CD player (or a record on the turntable).

2 Press the record (

¶) button and the pause (8) button on the cassette deck at the same time.

This puts the cassette deck into recording pause.

Note:

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 or on the turntable.

The source changes on the receiver, and as soon as play starts, the cassette deck starts recording.

When the play ends, the cassette deck enters recording pause, and stops about 4 seconds later.

Notes:

• During synchronized recording, the selected source cannot be changed.

• If your CD player is playing in program mode, a 4-second blank is recorded between tracks so that the music scan feature of your cassette deck can be used on the recorded tape.

• 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.

Using the Remote Control

Using this remote control, you can operate audio/video components of not only JVC’s but also the other manufacturers’. To operate the other manufacturers’ components, see page 47.

Using the Remote Control for Operating JVC Audio/Video Components

IMPORTANT:

To operate JVC audio components using this remote control:

• You need to connect JVC audio components through the COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) jacks (see page

41) in addition to the connections using cables with RCA pin plugs (see page 9).

• Aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the receiver.

• Select a source with the buttons on the SOURCE SELECT section (outside panel) of the remote control, or press the buttons on the remote mode section (inside panel) of the remote control. If you select a source on the front panel or using the menu function, the remote control will not operate that source.

Operating the Other Manufacturers’ Audio/Video Components

The remote control supplied with the receiver can learn and memorize the signals used for the other manufactures’ remote control unit. By storing these signals, you can operate the other manufacturers’ audio/ video components.

Storing the signals

Before storing another manufacturer’s signals, make sure that manufacturer’s remote control unit (hereafter called “target remote control”) actually works.

1 Place the two remote controls on a level surface with signal transmitting windows facing each other.

Leave a space of 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) between the two remote controls; otherwise, storing may be failed.
