Introduction  
We would like to thank you for purchasing one of our JVC products.  
Before operating this unit, read this manual carefully and thoroughly to obtain the best possible performance  
from your unit, and retain this manual for future reference.  
Precautions  
Features  
Power sources  
CC (Compensative Compression) converter  
ONLY for RX-8030VBK  
• When unplugging the receiver from the wall outlet, always pull  
the plug, not the AC power cord.  
• Do not handle the AC power cord with wet hands.  
• If you are not going to operate the receiver for an extended period  
of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.  
CC Converter eliminates jitter and ripples, achieving a drastic  
reduction in digital distortion by processing the digital music data  
in 24 bit–quantization and by expanding the sampling frequency  
to 128 kHz (for fs 32 kHz signals)/176.4 kHz (for fs 44.1 kHz  
signals)/192 kHz (for fs 48 kHz signals). By using the CC  
Converter, you can obtain a natural sound field from any source.  
(See page 21 for details.)  
Ventilation  
High power amplifiers built in this receiver will generate heat inside  
the cabinet. For safety, observe the following carefully.  
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor  
ventilation could overheat and damage the receiver.  
• Do not block the ventilation openings or holes. (If the ventilation  
openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the  
heat may not be able to get out.)  
K2 technology—ONLY for RX-8030VBK  
K2 technology has been designed to enable natural audio  
reproduction, achieving a drastic reduction in digital distortion  
and creating original sound ambience with high precision.  
Compatible with various audio formats including  
DTS 96/24  
RX-8030VBK and RX-7030VBK/RX-7032VSL allow you to  
enjoy a newly introduced audio format such as Dolby Digital EX,  
Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS-ES, DTS Neo:6, and DTS 96/24.  
• This unit is also compatible with Dual Mono signals recorded in  
Dolby Digital and DTS discs.  
Others  
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall onto the unit, unplug the  
unit and consult your dealer before operating any further.  
• Do not expose this apparatus to rain, moisture, dripping or  
splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases  
shall be placed on the apparatus.  
• Do not disassemble the unit since there are no user serviceable  
parts inside.  
DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor)  
Sound field simulation technology allows precise ambience  
recreation of existing theaters and halls. Thanks to the high-  
performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and high-capacity  
memory, you can enjoy multi-channel surround sound by playing  
2-channel or multi-channel software according to the speaker  
setting.  
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your  
JVC dealer.  
Multi-channel headphone virtual surround  
sound—3D HEADPHONE Mode  
The built-in headphone virtual surround system is compatible with  
Multi-channel software like Dolby Digital, DTS Surround, etc.  
Thanks to the new signal processing algorithms used by the high-  
performance DSP, you can enjoy a natural surround sound through  
the headphones.  
COMPU LINK/AV COMPU LINK remote control  
systems  
These COMPU LINK remote control systems allow you to  
operate other JVC’s audio/video components from this receiver.

dry-cell batteries.  
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.  
Notes:  
• Supplied batteries are for the initial setup. Replace for continued  
use.  
• After replacing the batteries, set the manufacturers’ codes again  
(see pages from 47 to 49).  
Locations  
CAUTION:  
Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from  
moisture.  
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.  
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.  
Handling the receiver  
Do not insert any metal object into the receiver.  
Do not disassemble the receiver or remove screws, covers, or

Using the Surround Modes  
This unit activates a variety of Surround modes automatically. The basic settings and adjustments stored (see pages  
25 to 33) are applied.  
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,  
DIGITAL  
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 theaterwith only  
five to seven speakers (plus subwoofer).  
Dolby Digital 5.1CH  
Dolby Digital 5.1CH (DOLBY D) 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.  
You can use Virtual 6.1-channel surround when playing back  
Dolby Digital EX software without connecting the surround  
back speakers. This surround reallocates the surround back  
channel to the surround speakers so that you can still feel the  
great surround effect from behind.  
The VIRTUAL SB (Surround Back) indicator lights up on the  
display.  
Dolby Pro Logic  
Dolby Surround encoding format records the left front channel,  
right front channel, center channel, and surround channel  
(monaural) signals into 2 channels.  
Subwoofer  
The Dolby Pro Logic (PRO LOGIC) decoder built in this receiver  
decodes these 2 channel signals into 4 original channel signals  
(plus subwoofer)matrix-based multi-channel reproduction.  
When Dolby Pro Logic is activated, the

DTS 96/24  
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 two types of Dolby Pro Logic II modes—  
Pro Logic II Movie (PLII MOVIE) and Pro Logic II Music  
(PLII MUSIC).  
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 qualityinto the home.  
When DTS 96/24 signal is detected, the 96/24 indicator lights up.  
You can enjoy its 5.1-channel sound with full-quality.  
When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the  
indicator lights up on the display.  
DTS Neo:6  
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.  
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.  
When one of Neo:6 modes is activated, the NEO:6 indicator lights  
up on the display.  
PLII MUSIC:  
Suitable for playing any 2-channel stereo  
software. You can enjoy wide and deep sounds.  
This receiver provides the following DTS NEO:6 modesNeo:6  
Cinema (NEO:6CINMA) and Neo:6 Music (NEO:6MUSIC).  
DTS*2  
NEO:6CINMA: 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.  
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.  
NEO:6MUSIC: Suitable for playing music software. The front  
channel signals bypass the decoder (resulting in  
no loss of sound quality) and the surround  
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 EX/ES setting is set to ON,DTS Neo:6 (DTS NEO:6) is  
applied while playing back multi-channel DTS software. It creates  
the same surround ambience as 6.1-channel software does.  
signals transmitted through the other speakers  
expand the sound field naturally.  
What is Dual Mono?  
Dual Mono can be easily understood when you think of the  
bilingual broadcast or the MTS (Multichannel Television Sound)  
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 DUAL indicator lights  
up. You can select either channel you want to listen to (see page  
29).  
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 channelsurround back  
channel.  
DTS-ES includes two signal formats with different surround signal  
recording methodsDTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch (ES DSCRETE) 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 backchannel  
signal is encoded (and decoded) in both the left and right surround  
channel signals.  
When using the Surround mode, the sounds come out of the  
avtivated speakers which the Surround mode requires.  
If the surround speakers and center speaker are set to  
NONEin the speaker setting, JVCs 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.  
You can use Virtual 6.1-channel surround when playing back  
DTS-ES software without connecting the surround back speakers.  
This surround reallocates the surround back channel to the  
surround speakers so that you can still feel the great surround  
effect from behind.

Introduction  
We would like to thank you for purchasing one of our JVC products.  
Before operating this unit, read this manual carefully and thoroughly to obtain the best possible performance  
from your unit, and retain this manual for future reference.  
Precautions  
Features  
Power sources  
CC (Compensative Compression) converter  
ONLY for RX-8030VBK  
• When unplugging the receiver from the wall outlet, always pull  
the plug, not the AC power cord.  
• Do not handle the AC power cord with wet hands.  
• If you are not going to operate the receiver for an extended period  
of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.  
CC Converter eliminates jitter and ripples, achieving a drastic  
reduction in digital distortion by processing the digital music data  
in 24 bit–quantization and by expanding the sampling frequency  
to 128 kHz (for fs 32 kHz signals)/176.4 kHz (for fs 44.1 kHz  
signals)/192 kHz (for fs 48 kHz signals). By using the CC  
Converter, you can obtain a natural sound field from any source.  
(See page 21 for details.)  
Ventilation  
High power amplifiers built in this receiver will generate heat inside  
the cabinet. For safety, observe the following carefully.  
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor  
ventilation could overheat and damage the receiver.  
• Do not block the ventilation openings or holes. (If the ventilation  
openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the  
heat may not be able to get out.)  
K2 technology—ONLY for RX-8030VBK  
K2 technology has been designed to enable natural audio  
reproduction, achieving a drastic reduction in digital distortion  
and creating original sound ambience with high precision.  
Compatible with various audio formats including  
DTS 96/24  
RX-8030VBK and RX-7030VBK allow you to enjoy a newly  
introduced audio format such as Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro  
Logic II, DTS-ES, DTS Neo:6, and DTS 96/24.  
• This unit is also compatible with Dual Mono signals recorded in  
Dolby Digital and DTS discs.  
Others  
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall onto the unit, unplug the  
unit and consult your dealer before operating any further.  
• Do not expose this apparatus to rain, moisture, dripping or  
splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases  
shall be placed on the apparatus.  
• Do not disassemble the unit since there are no user serviceable  
parts inside.  
DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor)  
Sound field simulation technology allows precise ambience  
recreation of existing theaters and halls. Thanks to the high-  
performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and high-capacity  
memory, you can enjoy multi-channel surround sound by playing  
2-channel or multi-channel software according to the speaker  
setting.  
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your  
JVC dealer.  
Multi-channel headphone virtual surround  
sound—3D HEADPHONE Mode  
The built-in headphone virtual surround system is compatible with  
Multi-channel software like Dolby Digital, DTS Surround, etc.  
Thanks to the new signal processing algorithms used by the high-  
performance DSP, you can enjoy a natural surround sound through  
the headphones.  
COMPU LINK/AV COMPU LINK remote control  
systems  
These COMPU LINK remote control systems allow you to  
operate other JVC’s audio/video components from this receiver.

Getting Started  
This section explains how to connect audio/video components and speakers to the receiver, and how to connect the  
power supply.  
If the remote control cannot transmit signals or operate the receiver  
correctly, replace the batteries. Use two R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type  
Before Installation  
dry-cell batteries.  
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.  
Notes:  
• Supplied batteries are for the initial setup. Replace for continued  
use.  
• After replacing the batteries, set the manufacturers’ codes again  
(see pages from 47 to 49).  
Locations  
CAUTION:  
Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from  
moisture.  
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.  
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.  
Handling the receiver  
Do not insert any metal object into the receiver.  
Do not disassemble the receiver or remove screws, covers, or  
cabinet.

(not supplied) to the AM EXT terminal. (Keep the AM loop antenna  
connected.)  
Speaker layout  
Ideal speaker layout varies depending on the conditions of your  
listening room. The diagram below is a recommended typical  
example.  
Connecting the Speakers  
You can connect the following speakers:  
Two pairs of front speakers to produce normal stereo sound.  
One pair of surround speakers to enjoy the surround effect.  
One surround back speaker or one pair of surround back speakers  
to enjoy to produce more effective surround effect.  
One center speaker to emphasize human voices.  
One subwoofer to enhance the bass.

Using the Surround Modes  
This unit activates a variety of Surround modes automatically. The basic settings and adjustments stored (see pages  
25 to 33) are applied.  
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,  
DIGITAL  
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 theaterwith only  
five to seven speakers (plus subwoofer).  
Dolby Digital 5.1CH  
Dolby Digital 5.1CH (DOLBY D) 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.  
You can use Virtual 6.1-channel surround when playing back  
Dolby Digital EX software without connecting the surround  
back speakers. This surround reallocates the surround back  
channel to the surround speakers so that you can still feel the  
great surround effect from behind.  
The VIRTUAL SB (Surround Back) indicator lights up on the  
display.  
Dolby Pro Logic  
Dolby Surround encoding format records the left front channel,  
right front channel, center channel, and surround channel  
(monaural) signals into 2 channels.  
Subwoofer  
The Dolby Pro Logic (PRO LOGIC) decoder built in this receiver  
decodes these 2 channel signals into 4 original channel signals  
(plus subwoofer)matrix-based multi-channel reproduction.  
When Dolby Pro Logic is activated, the  
indicator  
lights up on the display.

DTS 96/24  
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 two types of Dolby Pro Logic II modes—  
Pro Logic II Movie (PLII MOVIE) and Pro Logic II Music  
(PLII MUSIC).  
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 qualityinto the home.  
When DTS 96/24 signal is detected, the 96/24 indicator lights up.  
You can enjoy its 5.1-channel sound with full-quality.  
When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the  
indicator lights up on the display.  
DTS Neo:6  
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.  
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.  
When one of Neo:6 modes is activated, the NEO:6 indicator lights  
up on the display.  
PLII MUSIC:  
Suitable for playing any 2-channel stereo  
software. You can enjoy wide and deep sounds.  
This receiver provides the following DTS NEO:6 modesNeo:6  
Cinema (NEO:6CINMA) and Neo:6 Music (NEO:6MUSIC).  
DTS*2  
NEO:6CINMA: 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.  
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.  
NEO:6MUSIC: Suitable for playing music software. The front  
channel signals bypass the decoder (resulting in  
no loss of sound quality) and the surround  
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.  
signals transmitted through the other speakers  
expand the sound field naturally.  
What is Dual Mono?  
When EX/ES setting is set to ON,DTS Neo:6 (DTS NEO:6) is  
applied while playing back multi-channel DTS software. It creates  
the same surround ambience as 6.1-channel software does.  
Dual Mono can be easily understood when you think of the  
bilingual broadcast or the MTS (Multichannel Television Sound)  
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 DUAL indicator lights  
up. You can select either channel you want to listen to (see page  
29).  
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 channelsurround back  
channel.  
DTS-ES includes two signal formats with different surround signal  
recording methodsDTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch (ES DSCRETE) 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 backchannel  
signal is encoded (and decoded) in both the left and right surround  
channel signals.  
When using the Surround mode, the sounds come out of the  
avtivated speakers which the Surround mode requires.  
If the surround speakers and center speaker are set to  
NONEin the speaker setting, JVCs 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.  
You can use Virtual 6.1-channel surround when playing back  
DTS-ES software without connecting the surround back speakers.  
This surround reallocates the surround back channel to the  
surround speakers so that you can still feel the great surround  
effect from behind.
