Connecting the Speakers  
You can connect the following speakers:  
• Two pairs of front speakers to produce normal stereo sound.  
• One pair of rear speakers to enjoy the surround effect.  
• One center speaker to produce more effective surround effect (to emphasize human voices).  
• One subwoofer to enhance the bass.  
For each speaker (except for subwoofer), connect the black (–) and red (+) terminals on the rear panel to the  
black (–) and red (+) terminals marked on the speakers. For connecting a subwoofer, see page 7.  
CAUTION:  
Use speakers with the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by the speaker terminals.  
Connecting the front speakers  
Cut, twist and remove the insulation at the end of each speaker signal cable first, and then, connect the front  
speakers to the FRONT SPEAKERS terminals by using the cables.  
You can connect two pairs of front speakers (one pair to the FRONT SPEAKERS 1 terminals, and another  
pair to the FRONT SPEAKERS 2 terminals).

Notes:  
• To obtain the best possible output power from the receiver, and to prevent the receiver from  
being overheated, the receiver has the SPEAKER LOAD SELECTOR which should be set to  
match the impedance of the connected speakers.  
Set this selector according to the indications by the FRONT SPEAKERS terminals.  
• When you connect two pairs of the speakers to the FRONT SPEAKERS terminals, use the  
speakers having the impedance within the same range.

When connecting a JVC TV:  
• If you use the AV COMPU LINK remote control system to operate the TV, connect the receiver to theVideo  
Input 2 jack on the TV.  
• If you do not use the AV COMPU LINK remote control system to operate TV, connect the receiver to the  
Video Input 1 jack on the TV.  
If your video components have an AV COMPU LINK terminal  
The AV COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to control other JVC video components from the  
receiver or vice versa.  
For detailed information about the connection and the AV COMPU LINK remote control system, see page  
36.  
Notes:  
• The AV COMPU LINK remote control system cannot control the video components connected to the  
VIDEO jacks on the receiver, but can control only the VCR connected to the VCR jacks.  
• Some VCRs use the AV COMPU LINK jacks for the SWAP editing. However, you cannot use both the AV  
COMPU LINK remote control and the SWAP editing at the same time. For the SWAP editing, see the  
manual supplied with the VCR.

Connecting the Power Cord  
Before plugging the receiver into an AC outlet, make sure that all connections have been made.  
When the power cord is connected, the STANDBY lamp above the POWER button lights up.  
Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables for the TV, VCR, and antenna. The 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.  
Notes:  
• A small amount of power is always consumed even in standby mode. To switch off the power completely,  
unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.  
• If the power cord is unplugged or a power failure occurs, preset settings will be erased in a few days.  
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.  
Putting Batteries in the Remote Control  
Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first. When using the remote control, aim the  
remote control directly at the remote sensor on the receiver.  
1. On the back of the remote control, remove the cover as illustrated.  
2. Insert batteries. Make sure to observe the proper polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).  
3. Replace the cover in.  
R03 (UM-4)/AAA (24F)  
-
+
+
-
If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace the batteries. Use two R03 (UM-4)/AAA  
(24F) type dry-cell batteries.  
CAUTIONS:  
Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:  
• Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity indicated: (+) 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.
