Setting the Bass Sounds  
You can adjust subwoofer and bass sounds precisely according to  
your preference.  
– If the size of the cone speaker unit built in your speaker is  
larger than 12 cm (4 3/4 inches), select “LARGE,and if it is  
smaller than 12 cm (4 3/4 inches), select “SMALL.”  
• If you have selected “SUBWOOFER NO” for the subwoofer  
setting, you can only select “LARGE” for the front speakers.  
• If you have selected “SMALLfor the front speakers, you cannot  
select “LARGE” for the center and surround speakers.  
Subwoofer output—SUBWOOFER OUT  
You can select the type of the signal which can be transmitted  
through the subwoofer. In other words, you can determine  
whether or not the bass elements of the front speaker channels  
are transmitted through the subwoofer regardless of the front  
speaker size setting (either “SMALL” or “LARGE”).  
Setting the Speaker Distance  
The distance from your listening point to the speakers is another  
important element to obtain the best possible sound of the Surround  
and DSP modes. Set the distance from your listening point to the  
speakers.  
By referring to the speaker distance setting, this unit automatically  
sets the delay time of the sound through each speaker so that sounds  
through all the speakers can reach you with the same timing.  
• If you have used Quick Speaker Setup on page 16, this setting is  
not required.  
Select one of the following:  
SWFR LFE: Select to emit only the LFE signals (while  
playing Dolby Digital and DTS software) or the  
bass elements of the “SMALL” front speakers  
(while playing any source other than the above).  
SWFR LFE+MAIN: Select to always emit the bass elements of  
the front speaker channels (MAIN). While  
playing Dolby Digital and DTS software, the  
bass element and the LFE signals are both  
emitted.

Using the Surround Modes  
This unit activates a variety of Surround modes automatically. The basic settings and adjustments stored (see pages  
16 to 22) are applied automatically.  
Reproducing Theater Ambience  
Introducing the Surround Modes  
Dolby Digital*1  
Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed  
by Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and  
decoding (1ch up to 5.1ch).  
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.  
• When Dolby Digital signal is detected through the digital input,  
the  
indicator lights up on the display.  
Surround modes built in this receiver can create almost the same  
surround sounds as you can feel in a real movie theater—with only  
a limited number of the speakers.  
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.  
Another digital surround encoding format introduced by Dolby  
Laboratories is Dolby Digital EX, which 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.  
You can use Virtual Surround Back (see page 20) when playing  
back Dolby Digital Surround EX software. This function creates  
the great surround effect from the behind as if you have  
connected the surround back speakers.  
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 matrix-  
based 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 three types of Dolby Pro Logic II  
modes—Pro Logic II Movie (PLII MOVIE), Pro Logic II  
Music (PLII MUSIC), and Pro Logic II Game (PLII GAME).  
Subwoofer  
When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the  
indicator lights up on the display.  
PRO LOGIC  
PLII MOVIE: Suitable for playing any Dolby Surround  
encoded software. You can enjoy a sound field

Using the Surround Modes  
DTS*2  
What is 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  
indicator lights up.  
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 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.  
What is Dual Mono?  
Dual Mono can be easily understood when you think of the  
bilingual broadcast or the MTS (Multichannel Television Sound)  
format used 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.  
• When Dual Mono signal is detected, the  
lights up. You can select either channel you want to listen to  
(see page 19).  
Another multi-channel digital encoding format introduced by Digital  
Theater Systems, Inc. is DTS Extended Surround (DTS-ES).  
It greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and space  
expression by adding the third surround channel—surround back  
channel.  
indicator  
DTS-ES includes two signal formats with different surround signal  
recording methods—DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch and DTS-ES Matrix  
6.1ch.  
You can use Virtual Surround Back (see page 20) when playing  
back DTS-ES software. This function creates the great surround  
effect from the behind as if you have connected the surround back  
speakers.  
When using the Surround mode, the sounds come out of the  
activated speakers which the Surround mode requires.  
• If either the surround speakers or center speaker is set to “NONE”  
in the speaker setting, the corresponding channel signals are  
allocated to and emitted through the front speakers.  
• If both the surround speakers and center speaker are set to  
“NONE” in the speaker setting, 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.  
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 “better-  
than-CD sound quality” into the home.  
3D Headphone Mode—3D H PHONE  
• When DTS 96/24 signal is detected, the  
indicator  
If you activate Surround when the front speakers are deactivated,  
3D Headphone Mode is activated without respect to the type of

CD player  
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  
COMPU LINK-4  
(SYNCHRO)  
Synchronized recording means the cassette deck starts recording as  
soon as a CD begins playing.  
To use synchronized recording, follow these steps:  
1 Put a tape in the cassette deck, and a disc in the  
CD player.  
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.  
If you do not press the record () button and pause (8) button at  
the same time, the synchronized recording feature will not  
operate.  
Notes:  
• There are four versions of COMPU LINK remote control system.  
This receiver is equipped with the fourth version—COMPU LINK-4.  
This version is added systematic operations with the CD recorder to  
the previous version—COMPU 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.  
To operate the cassette deck or CD recorder using the COMPU  
LINK remote control system, set the source name correctly if  
required. (See page 12.)  
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 starts recording. When the play ends, the  
cassette deck enters recording pause, and stops about 4 seconds  
later.  
• Refer also to the manuals supplied with your audio components.  
Notes:  
This remote control system allows you to use four functions listed  
below.  
• 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.

Getting Started  
This section explains how to connect audio/video components and speakers to the receiver, and how to connect the  
power supply.  
Notes:  
Before Installation  
• Supplied batteries are for the initial setup. Replace for continued  
use.  
General Precautions  
• Be sure your hands are dry.  
• After replacing the batteries, set the manufacturers’ codes again  
(see pages 31 and 32).  
• Turn the power off to all components.  
• Read the manuals supplied with the components you are going to  
connect.  
CAUTION:  
Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:  
• Place batteries in the remote control so they match the  
polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).  
Locations  
• Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from  
moisture and dust.  
• Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar  
may differ in voltage.  
• The temperature around the receiver must be between –5˚C and  
35˚C.  
• Always replace both batteries at the same time.  
• Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.  
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor  
ventilation could cause overheating and damage the receiver.

– If the size of the cone speaker unit built in your speaker is  
larger than 12 cm, select “LARGE,and if it is smaller than 12  
cm, select “SMALL.”  
Setting the Bass Sounds  
You can adjust subwoofer and bass sounds precisely according to  
your preference.  
• If you have selected “SUBWOOFER NO” for the subwoofer  
setting, you can only select “LARGE” for the front speakers.  
• If you have selected “SMALLfor the front speakers, you cannot  
select “LARGE” for the center and surround speakers.  
Subwoofer output—SUBWOOFER OUT  
The subwoofer emits the LFE signals* and the bass elements of  
each speaker set to “SMALL.”  
You can make the bass elements of the front speaker channels  
(MAIN) emitted through the subwoofer.  
Setting the Speaker Distance  
The distance from your listening point to the speakers is another  
important element to obtain the best possible sound of the Surround  
and DSP modes. Set the distance from your listening point to the  
speakers.  
Select one of the following:  
SWFR LFE: Select to emit the LFE signals and the bass  
elements of each speaker set to “SMALL.”  
By referring to the speaker distance setting, this unit automatically  
sets the delay time of the sound through each speaker so that sounds  
through all the speakers can reach you with the same timing.  
• If you have used Quick Speaker Setup on page 16, this setting is  
not required.  
SWFR LFE+MAIN: Select to emit the bass elements of the  
front speakers’ channels (MAIN) adding to the  
effect of “SWFR LFE” when no bass elements  
are emitted through the subwoofer.

Using the Surround Modes  
This unit activates a variety of Surround modes automatically. The basic settings and adjustments stored (see pages  
16 to 22) are applied automatically.  
Reproducing Theater Ambience  
Introducing the Surround Modes  
Dolby Digital*1  
Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed  
by Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and  
decoding (1ch up to 5.1ch).  
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.  
• When Dolby Digital signal is detected through the digital input,  
the  
indicator lights up on the display.  
Surround modes built in this receiver can create almost the same  
surround sounds as you can feel in a real movie theater—with only  
a limited number of the speakers.  
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.  
Another digital surround encoding format introduced by Dolby  
Laboratories is Dolby Digital EX, which 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.  
You can use Virtual Surround Back (see page 20) when playing  
back Dolby Digital Surround EX software. This function creates  
the great surround effect from the behind as if you have  
connected the surround back speakers.  
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 matrix-  
based 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 three types of Dolby Pro Logic II  
modes—Pro Logic II Movie (PLII MOVIE), Pro Logic II  
Music (PLII MUSIC), and Pro Logic II Game (PLII GAME).  
Subwoofer  
When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the  
indicator lights up on the display.

Using the Surround Modes  
DTS*2  
What is 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  
indicator lights up.  
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 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.  
What is Dual Mono?  
Dual Mono can be easily understood when you think of the  
bilingual broadcast or the MTS (Multichannel Television Sound)  
format used 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.  
• When Dual Mono signal is detected, the  
lights up. You can select either channel you want to listen to  
(see page 19).  
Another multi-channel digital encoding format introduced by Digital  
Theater Systems, Inc. is DTS Extended Surround (DTS-ES).  
It greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and space  
expression by adding the third surround channel—surround back  
channel.  
indicator  
DTS-ES includes two signal formats with different surround signal  
recording methods—DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch and DTS-ES Matrix  
6.1ch.  
You can use Virtual Surround Back (see page 20) when playing  
back DTS-ES software. This function creates the great surround  
effect from the behind as if you have connected the surround back  
speakers.  
When using the Surround mode, the sounds come out of the  
activated speakers which the Surround mode requires.  
• If either the surround speakers or center speaker is set to “NONE”  
in the speaker setting, the corresponding channel signals are  
allocated to and emitted through the front speakers.  
• If both the surround speakers and center speaker are set to  
“NONE” in the speaker setting, 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.  
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 “better-  
than-CD sound quality” into the home.  
3D Headphone Mode—3D H PHONE  
• When DTS 96/24 signal is detected, the  
indicator

1 Select and play any source.  
2 Press DSP repeatedly until the DSP mode you  
want appears on the display.  
• Each time you press the button, the DSP modes change as  
follows:

= DANCE CLUB = PAVILION  
= THEATER 1  
= (Back to the beginning)  
= HALL 2  
= LIVE CLUB  
= ALL CH STEREO  
= THEATER 2 = MONO FILM  
Note:  
When the surround speakers are set to “NONE,the 3D-PHONIC  
processing is applied to the DSP modes (the 3D-PHONIC indicator  
also lights up).  
To adjust the effect level (except All Channel Stereo) and center  
tone, see page 22.  
To cancel the DSP mode  
Press SURROUND/DSP OFF.  
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), 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, the sounds come out of all the  
connected and activated speakers.  
If surround speakers are set to “NONE” in the speaker setting,  
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.  
• 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.

COMPU LINK Remote Control System  
The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate JVC’s audio components through the remote sensor on  
the receiver.  
To use this remote control system, you need to connect JVC’s audio  
components through the COMPU LINK (SYNCHRO) jacks using  
the cables with monaural mini-plugs (not supplied, see below) in  
addition to the connections using cables with RCA pin plugs (see  
page 6).  
• 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.  
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 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  
Cassette deck  
or  
CD recorder  
CD player  
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  
COMPU LINK-4  
(SYNCHRO)  
Synchronized recording means the cassette deck starts recording as  
soon as a CD begins playing.  
To use synchronized recording, follow these steps:  
1 Put a tape in the cassette deck, and a disc in the  
CD player.  
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.  
If you do not press the record () button and pause (8) button at  
the same time, the synchronized recording feature will not  
operate.  
Notes:  
• There are four versions of COMPU LINK remote control system.  
This receiver is equipped with the fourth version—COMPU LINK-4.  
This version is added systematic operations with the CD recorder to  
the previous version—COMPU 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.  
To operate the cassette deck or CD recorder using the COMPU  
LINK remote control system, set the source name correctly if  
required. (See page 12.)  
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 starts recording. When the play ends, the  
cassette deck enters recording pause, and stops about 4 seconds  
later.  
• Refer also to the manuals supplied with your audio components.  
Notes:  
This remote control system allows you to use four functions listed  
below.  
• 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.  
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 29 and 30.

Getting Started  
This section explains how to connect audio/video components and speakers to the receiver, and how to connect the  
power supply.  
Note:  
Before Installation  
Supplied batteries are for the initial setup. Replace for continued use.  
General Precautions  
CAUTION:  
• 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.  
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.  
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  
Connecting the FM and AM (MW)  
ventilation could cause overheating and damage the receiver.

Using the Surround Modes  
This unit activates a variety of Surround modes automatically. The basic settings and adjustments stored (see pages  
19 to 25) are applied automatically.  
Reproducing Theater Ambience  
Introducing the Surround Modes  
Dolby Digital*1  
Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed  
by Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and  
decoding (1ch up to 5.1ch).  
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.  
• When Dolby Digital signal is detected through the digital input,  
the  
indicator lights up on the display.  
Surround modes built in this receiver can create almost the same  
surround sounds as you can feel in a real movie theater—with only  
a limited number of the speakers.  
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.  
Another digital surround encoding format introduced by Dolby  
Laboratories is Dolby Digital EX, which 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.  
You can use Virtual Surround Back (see page 23) when playing  
back Dolby Digital Surround EX software. This function creates  
the great surround effect from the behind as if you have  
connected the surround back speakers.  
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 matrix-  
based 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 three types of Dolby Pro Logic II  
modes—Pro Logic II Movie (PLII MOVIE), Pro Logic II  
Music (PLII MUSIC), and Pro Logic II Game (PLII GAME).  
Subwoofer  
When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the  
indicator lights up on the display.  
PRO LOGIC  
PLII MOVIE: Suitable for playing any Dolby Surround  
encoded software. You can enjoy a sound field

channel sounds.

DTS*2  
What is 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  
indicator lights up.  
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 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.  
What is Dual Mono?  
Dual Mono can be easily understood when you think of the  
bilingual broadcast or the MTS (Multichannel Television Sound)  
format used 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.  
• When Dual Mono signal is detected, the  
lights up. You can select either channel you want to listen to  
(see page 22).  
Another multi-channel digital encoding format introduced by Digital  
Theater Systems, Inc. is DTS Extended Surround (DTS-ES).  
It greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and space  
expression by adding the third surround channel—surround back  
channel.  
indicator  
DTS-ES includes two signal formats with different surround signal  
recording methods—DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch and DTS-ES Matrix  
6.1ch.  
You can use Virtual Surround Back (see page 23) when playing  
back DTS-ES software. This function creates the great surround  
effect from the behind as if you have connected the surround back  
speakers.  
When using the Surround mode, the sounds come out of the  
activated speakers which the Surround mode requires.  
• If either the surround speakers or center speaker is set to “NONE”  
in the speaker setting, the corresponding channel signals are  
allocated to and emitted through the front speakers.  
• If both the surround speakers and center speaker are set to  
“NONE” in the speaker setting, 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.  
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 “better-  
than-CD sound quality” into the home.  
3D Headphone Mode—3D H PHONE  
• When DTS 96/24 signal is detected, the  
indicator  
If you activate Surround when the front speakers are deactivated,  
3D Headphone Mode is activated without respect to the type of  
software played back. “3D H PHONE” appears on the display
