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 “SMALL” for 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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,

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).

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

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.
DSP modes can create these important elements, and give you a real
“being there” feeling.
