Before Installation

General precautions

• Be sure your hands are dry.

• Turn the power off to all components.

• Read the manuals supplied with the components you are going to connect.

Locations

• Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from moisture and dust.

• The temperature around the receiver must be between –5˚C and 35˚C (23˚F and 95˚F).

• Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor ventilation could cause overheating and damage the receiver.

• Leave sufficient distance between the receiver and the TV.

Handling the receiver

• Do not insert any metal object into the receiver.

• Do not disassemble the receiver or remove screws, covers, or cabinet.

• Do not expose the receiver to rain or moisture.

• 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.

• 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.

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 R6(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.

Creating realistic sound fields

Reproducing theater ambience

In a movie theater, many speakers are located on the walls to reproduce impressive multi-channel 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 modes

■ Dolby Digital*

Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed by

Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and decoding.

• When Dolby Digital signal is detected through the digital input, the indicator lights up on the display.

Dolby Digital 5.1CH

Dolby Digital 5.1CH (DOLBY DIGITAL) 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.

Dolby Digital EX

Dolby Digital EX (DOLBY D EX) is a digital surround encoding format that 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.

SW

■ Dolby Surround

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II is a multi-channel playback format to convert

2-channel 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 up on the display.

indicator lights

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.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx

Dolby Pro Logic IIx is a newly introduced multi-channel playback format to convert not only multi-channel software but 2-channel software into 7.1 channel (or 6.1 channel) that developed from

Dolby Pro Logic II. The matrix-based conversion method used for

Dolby Pro Logic IIx makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the surround treble.

• This receiver provides two types of Dolby Pro Logic IIx modes—

Pro Logic IIx Movie (PLIIx MOVIE) and Pro Logic IIx Music

(PLIIx MUSIC).

When Dolby Pro Logic IIx is activated, “PLIIx MOVIE” or “PLIIx

MUSIC” appear and the display.

PLIIx MOVIE

Suitable for playing any Dolby Surround encoded software. You can enjoy a sound field with a natural wraparound effect.

PLIIx MUSIC

Suitable for playing any 2-channel stereo software. You can enjoy wide and deep 7.1channel sounds.

DTS Neo:6

DTS Neo:6 is another conversion method to create 6-channel

(plus subwoofer) from analog/digital 2-channel software by using the high precision digital matrix decoder used for DTS-ES Matrix

6.1ch.

• This receiver provides the following DTS Neo:6 modes—Neo:6

Cinema (NEO:6 CINEMA) and Neo:6 Music (NEO:6 MUSIC).

When one of them is activated, the NEO:6 indicator lights up on the display.

NEO:6 CINEMA Suitable for playing movies. You can get the same atmosphere with 2-channel software as with 6.1-channel software. It is also effective for playing software encoded with conventional surround formats.

NEO:6 MUSIC

Suitable for playing music software. The front channel signals bypass the decoder (resulting in no loss of sound quality) and the surround signals transmitted through the other speakers expand the sound field naturally.

• To enjoy software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver. (See page 11.)

** “DTS”, “DTS-ES”, “Neo:6” and “DTS 96/24” are trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.

■ 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 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.

When using Surround mode, the sounds come out of the activated speakers which the Surround mode requires.

• If either “SURROUND SPK” or “CENTER SPK” is set to

“

<

NO

>

” in the speaker setting (see page 19), the corresponding channel signals are allocated to and emitted through the front speakers.

• If both “SURROUND SPK” and “CENTER SPK” are set to

“

<

NO

>

” in the speaker setting (see page 19), JVC’s original

3D-PHONIC processing (which has been developed to create the surround effect through the front speakers only) is used. The

3D-PHONIC 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.

“3D HEADPHONE” appears on the display and the DSP and

HEADPHONE indicators light up.

DTS Extended Surround (DTS-ES)

DTS-ES is another multi-channel digital encoding format.

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 (ES DISCRETE) and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1ch (ES MATRIX).

DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch has been designed to encode (and decode) a 6.1-channel signal discretely to avoid interference with each channel.

DTS-ES Matrix 6.1ch has been designed to add an extra surround channel to DTS Digital Surround 5.1-channel. By using a matrix encoding/decoding method, an additional “surround back” channel signal is encoded (and decoded) in both the left and right surround channel signals.

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 LINEAR PCM indicator lights up.

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 and 96/24 indicators light up. You can enjoy its 5.1-channel sound with fullquality.

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 analog 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 21).

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, THEATER1, THEATER2

• MONO FILM—Used for all types of 2-channel signals (including

Dual Mono signal)

• All Channel Stereo mode (ALL CH STEREO)

When one of the DSP modes is activated, the DSP indicator lights up on the display.

■ 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.

When using the DAP mode, the sounds come out of all the connected and activated speakers.

• If “SURROUND SPK” is set to “

<

NO

>

” in the speaker

setting (see page 19), JVC’s original 3D-PHONIC processing

(which has been developed to create the surround effect through the front speakers only) is used.

The 3D-PHONIC 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 (analog 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 “SURROUND SPK” is set to “

<

NO

>





• 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 STEREO)

This mode can reproduce a larger stereo sound field using all the connected (and activated) speakers. This mode cannot be used

if “SURROUND SPK” is set to “

<

NO

See pages 36 and 37 for details.

• Aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on each

component.

One-touch DVD play

Simply by starting playback on the DVD player, you can enjoy the

DVD playback without setting other switches manually.

• When the DVD player is connected through the analog input jacks on this receiver (and analog input is selected), the receiver automatically turns on and changes the source to

“DVR/DVD” or “DVD MULTI.”

• When the DVD player is connected through the digital input terminal on this receiver (and digital input is selected), the receiver automatically turns on and changes the source to

“DVR/DVD DGTL.”

The TV automatically turns on and changes the input mode to the appropriate position so that you can view the playback picture.

Automatic selection of TV’s input mode

• When you select “TV” (or “TV DIGITAL”) as the source to play on the receiver, the TV automatically changes the input mode to the TV tuner so that you can watch TV.

• When you select “DVR/DVD” (or “DVR/DVD DGTL”), “DVD

MULTI,” “VCR” (or “VCR DIGITAL”), or “DBS” (or “DBS DIGITAL”) as the source to play on the receiver, the TV automatically changes the input mode to the appropriate position (either video input 1 or video input 2) so that you can view the playback picture.

NOTE

This function does not work when you connect this receiver and the TV with the AV COMPU LINK EX terminal using a component video cable. In this case, reconnect the TV referring to Case 1 or

Case 2 on page 34.

Automatic power on/off

The TV, DVD player, and VCR turn on and off along with the receiver.

When you turn on the receiver;

• If the previously selected source is “TV” (or “TV DIGITAL”) or

“DBS” (or “DBS DIGITAL”), only the TV will turn on automatically.

• If the previously selected source is “DVR/DVD” (or “DVR/DVD

DGTL”)or “DVD MULTI,” the TV and DVD player will turn on automatically.

• If the previously selected source is “VCR” (or “VCR DIGITAL”), the TV and VCR will turn on automatically.

When you turn off the receiver, the TV, DVD player, and VCR will turn off.

NOTE

If you turn off the receiver while recording on the VCR, the VCR will not turn off, but continue recording.

One-touch video play

Before Installation

General precautions

• Be sure your hands are dry.

• Turn the power off to all components.

• Read the manuals supplied with the components you are going to connect.

Locations

• Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from moisture and dust.

• The temperature around the receiver must be 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 receiver and the TV.

Handling the receiver

• Do not insert any metal object into the receiver.

• Do not disassemble the receiver or remove screws, covers, or cabinet.

• Do not expose the receiver to rain or moisture.

• 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.

• 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.

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 R6(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.

Remote sensor

The receiver has a built-in cooling fan which operates while the receiver is turned on. Be sure to leave enough ventilation to obtain sufficient cooling effect.

Creating realistic sound fields

Reproducing theater ambience

In a movie theater, many speakers are located on the walls to reproduce impressive multi-channel 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 modes

■ Dolby Digital*

Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed by

Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and decoding.

• When Dolby Digital signal is detected through the digital input, the indicator lights up on the display.

Dolby Digital 5.1CH

Dolby Digital 5.1CH (DOLBY DIGITAL) 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.

Dolby Digital EX

Dolby Digital EX (DOLBY D EX) is a digital surround encoding format that 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.

SW

■ Dolby Surround

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II is a multi-channel playback format to convert

2-channel 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 up on the display.

indicator lights

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.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx

Dolby Pro Logic IIx is a newly introduced multi-channel playback format to convert not only multi-channel software but 2-channel software into 7.1 channel (or 6.1 channel) that developed from

Dolby Pro Logic II. The matrix-based conversion method used for

Dolby Pro Logic IIx makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the surround treble.

• This receiver provides two types of Dolby Pro Logic IIx modes—

Pro Logic IIx Movie (PLIIx MOVIE) and Pro Logic IIx Music

(PLIIx MUSIC).

When Dolby Pro Logic IIx is activated, “PLIIx MOVIE” or “PLIIx

MUSIC” appear and the display.

indicator lights up on the

PLIIx MOVIE

Suitable for playing any Dolby Surround encoded software. You can enjoy a sound field with a natural wraparound effect.

PLIIx MUSIC

Suitable for playing any 2-channel stereo software. You can enjoy wide and deep 7.1channel sounds.

DTS Neo:6

DTS Neo:6 is another conversion method to create 6-channel

(plus subwoofer) from analog/digital 2-channel software by using the high precision digital matrix decoder used for DTS-ES Matrix

6.1ch.

• This receiver provides the following DTS Neo:6 modes—Neo:6

Cinema (NEO:6 CINEMA) and Neo:6 Music (NEO:6 MUSIC).

When one of them is activated, the NEO:6 indicator lights up on the display.

NEO:6 CINEMA Suitable for playing movies. You can get the same atmosphere with 2-channel software as with 6.1-channel software. It is also effective for playing software encoded with conventional surround formats.

NEO:6 MUSIC

Suitable for playing music software. The front channel signals bypass the decoder (resulting in no loss of sound quality) and the surround signals transmitted through the other speakers expand the sound field naturally.

• To enjoy software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver. (See page 11.)

** “DTS”, “DTS-ES”, “Neo:6” and “DTS 96/24” are trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.

■ 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 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.

When using Surround mode, the sounds come out of the activated speakers which the Surround mode requires.

• If either “SURROUND SPK” or “CENTER SPK” is set to

“

<

NO

>

” in the speaker setting (see page 19), the corresponding channel signals are allocated to and emitted through the front speakers.

• If both “SURROUND SPK” and “CENTER SPK” are set to

“

<

NO

>

” in the speaker setting (see page 19), JVC’s original

3D-PHONIC processing (which has been developed to create the surround effect through the front speakers only) is used. The

3D-PHONIC 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.

“3D HEADPHONE” appears on the display and the DSP and

HEADPHONE indicators light up.

DTS Extended Surround (DTS-ES)

DTS-ES is another multi-channel digital encoding format.

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 (ES DISCRETE) and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1ch (ES MATRIX).

DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch has been designed to encode (and decode) a 6.1-channel signal discretely to avoid interference with each channel.

DTS-ES Matrix 6.1ch has been designed to add an extra surround channel to DTS Digital Surround 5.1-channel. By using a matrix encoding/decoding method, an additional “surround back” channel signal is encoded (and decoded) in both the left and right surround channel signals.

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 LINEAR PCM indicator lights up.

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 and 96/24 indicators light up. You can enjoy its 5.1-channel sound with fullquality.

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 analog 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 21).

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, THEATER1, THEATER2

• MONO FILM—Used for all types of 2-channel signals (including

Dual Mono signal)

• All Channel Stereo mode (ALL CH STEREO)

When one of the DSP modes is activated, the DSP indicator lights up on the display.

■ 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.

When using the DAP mode, the sounds come out of all the connected and activated speakers.

■ MONO FILM

In order to reproduce a more acoustic sound field in your listening room while viewing monaural sound video software (analog 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 “SURROUND SPK” is set to “
