Connect ing t he P ower Cor d  
This receiver is equipped with two DIGITAL IN terminals — one  
digital coaxial terminal and one digital optical terminal.  
You can connect any component to one of the digital terminals using  
a digital coaxial cable (not supplied) or digital optical cable (not  
supplied).  
Before plugging the receiver into an AC outlet, make sure that all  
connections have been made.  
Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.  
Keep the power cord away from the  
connecting cables and the antenna. The  
IMPORTANT:  
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.  
• When connecting the DVD player or the DBS tuner using the digital  
terminal, you also need to connect it to the video jack on the rear.  
Without connecting it to the video jack, you can view no playback  
picture.  
Note:  
• After connecting the components using the DIGITAL IN terminals,  
set the following correctly if necessary.  
The preset settings such as preset channels and sound adjustment  
may be erased in a few days in the following cases:  
– Set the digital input (DIGITAL IN) terminal setting correctly. For  
details, see “Digital Input (DIGITAL IN) Terminal Setting” on page  
14.  
– Select the digital input mode correctly. For details, see “Selecting  
the Analog or Digital Input Mode” on page 14.  
– 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.

If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace  
the batteries. Use two R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell batteries.  
CAUTION:  
Notes:  
Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:  
• Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity: (+)  
to (+) and (–) to (–).  
• When shipped from the factory, the DIGITAL IN terminals has been  
set for use with the following components.  
• Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may  
differ in voltage.  
– DIGITAL 1 (coaxial): For DVD player  
– DIGITAL 2 (optical): For CD player  
• Always replace both batteries at the same time.  
• Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.  
• When you want to operate the CD player or MD recorder using the  
COMPU LINK remote control system, connect the target  
component also as described in “Analog connections” (see page 5).

Us ing t he DS P M odes  
The built-in Surround Processor provides three types of the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) mode — 3 D-PHONIC mode,  
DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) mode and Surround mode.  
3 D-P HONIC m odes  
DAP m odes  
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. This mode can be used when the front speakers are  
connected to this receiver (without respect to the rear/center  
speaker connection).  
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. This mode can be used when the front  
speakers are connected to this receiver (without respect to the  
rear/center speaker connection).  
You can select either 3D ACTION or 3D THEATER to your  
preference when playing an analog or Linear PCM (digital)  
source.  
You can select one of the following to your preference.  
3D ACTION: Best for action and war movies — where the  
LIVE CLUB: Gives the feeling of a live music club with a low  
action is fast and explosive.  
ceiling.  
3D THEATER: Reproduces the sound field of a large theater. This  
mode can be selected when only front speakers are  
connected to this receiver and “REAR SPK” and  
DANCE CLUB: Gives a throbbing bass beat.  
HALL:  
Gives clear vocal and the feeling of a concert hall.  
PAVILION:  
Gives the spacious feeling of a pavilion with a high  
ceiling.  
“CENTER SPK” is set to “NONE” (see page 12).  
Reflections from

Early reflections  
Direct sounds  
Notes:  
• If “REAR SPK” and “CENTER SPK” are set to “NONE,”  
— you can select only “HEAD PHONE” or “OFF” for the DSP mode.  
— you cannot select Surround mode.  
• No sounds come out of the center speaker, even if it is connected.

COM P U LINK Rem ot e Cont r ol S ys t em  
The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate J VC 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 5).  
• 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.  
Aut om a t ic P ower On/ Off (S t a ndby): only pos s ible  
wit h t he COM P U LINK-3 connect ion  
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).  
CD player  
S ynchr onized Recor ding  
Synchronized recording means the cassette deck (or MD recorder)  
starts recording as soon as a CD or a record begins playing.  
Cassette deck  
or  
MD recorder  
To use synchronized recording, follow these steps:  
COMPU LINK – 3  
(SYNCHRO)  
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.  
Turntable  
If you do not press the record () button and pause (8) button at  
the same time, the synchronized recording feature will not  
operate.  
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.)  
To operate the cassette deck or MD recorder using the COMPU  
LINK remote control system, set the source name correctly. (See  
page 11.)  
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.  
• 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.  
Rem ot e Cont r ol t hr ough t he Rem ot e S ens or on t he  
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.  
Aut om a t ic S our ce S elect ion  
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.
