Video component connections  
Use the cables with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).  
Connect the white plug to the audio left jack, the red plug to the audio right jack, and  
the yellow plug to the video jack.  
If your video components have S-video (Y/C-separation) terminals, connect them using  
S-video cables (not supplied). Connecting these video components through the S-video  
input/output terminals will give you better picture playback (or recording) quality.  
IMPORTANT:  
This receiver is equipped with both the composite video and S-video input/output  
terminals for connecting video components.  
You do not have to connect both the composite video and S-video terminals.  
However, remember that the video signals from the composite video input  
terminals are output only through the composite video output terminals,  
while the ones from the S-video input terminals are output only through the  
S-video output terminals.  
Therefore, if a recording video component and a playing video component are  
connected to the receiver through the different video terminals, you cannot record  
the picture from the playing component on the recording component. In addition,  
if the TV and a playing video component are connected to the receiver through the  
different video terminals, you cannot view the playback picture from the playing  
component on the TV.  
To view and record the playback picture from the video component connected  
to the VCR2 jacks, you must connect the TV and the recording video  
component through the composite video terminals.  
Connecting the TV and/or DBS tuner  
You can connect either the TV or DBS tuner to the TV SOUND/DBS jacks.

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.  
Note:  
When tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS service, the RDS indicator lights  
up on the display.  
RDS may not operate correctly if  
the station tuned is not  
transmitting RDS signal properly  
or if the signal strength is weak.  
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

Using the DSP Modes  
The built-in Surround Processor provides three types of the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) mode — 3D-  
PHONIC mode, DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) mode and Surround mode (Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic  
and JVC’s Theater Surround.)  
On the 3D-PHONIC mode  
Notes:  
The 3D-PHONIC mode gives you such a  
nearly surround effect as it is reproduced  
through the Dolby Surround decoder, which  
is widely used to reproduce sounds with a  
feeling of movement like those experienced  
in movie theaters. The 3D-PHONIC mode is  
the result of research on sound localization  
technology carried out at JVC for many  
years and makes it possible to reproduce the  
surround sound with only two front  
speakers.  
• The DSP modes has no effect  
on monaural sources.  
You can not use the two types  
of the DSP modes at the same  
time.  
IMPORTANT:  
When recording the digital  
source, turn off the DSP mode.  
On the DAP mode  
The sound heard in a concert hall or club  
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 DAP mode can create  
these important elements, and gives you a  
real “being there” feeling.

COMPU LINK Remote Control System  
The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate JVC audio components through the remote  
sensor on the receiver.  
To use this remote control system, you need to connect JVC audio components through  
the COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) jacks (see below) in addition to the connections  
using cables with RCA pin plugs (see page 9) (and a digital cable if you want — see  
page 12).  
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 to the  
left.)  
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.  
COMPU LINK – 3  
(SYNCHRO)  
CD player  
Cassette deck  
or  
Turntable  
MD recorder  
• To operate the cassette deck  
or MD recorder using the  
COMPU LINK remote control  
system, set the source name  
correctly. (See page 18.)  
• Refer also to the manuals  
supplied with your audio  
components.  
This remote control system allows you to use four functions listed below.  
Remote Control through the Remote Sensor on the Receiver  
You can control the connected audio components through the remote sensor on the  
receiver using this remote control. Aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor  
on the receiver. For details, see pages 63 and 64.  
Automatic Source Selection  
When you press the play (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 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 connection  
Both the CD player and cassette deck (or MD recorder) turn on and off (standby) along  
with the receiver.  
When you turn on the receiver, the CD player or cassette deck (or MD recorder) will  
turn on automatically, depending on which component has been previously selected.  
When you turn off the receiver, both the CD player and cassette deck (or MD recorder)  
will turn off (standby).  
Notes:  
• During synchronized  
recording, the selected source  
cannot be changed.  
Synchronized Recording  
Synchronized recording means the cassette deck (or MD recorder) starts recording as  
soon as a CD or a record begins playing.  
• 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.  
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 (or a record on the turntable).  
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 or on the turntable.  
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.

5. When turning on these components for the first time, turn on the connected  
components first, then turn on this receiver.  
Note:  
If you turn on the receiver before  
turning on the other components  
after connecting components,  
the TEXT COMPU LINK remote  
control system does not work  
correctly.
