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).

If your audio components have a COMPU LINK-3 terminal  
The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to control other JVC audio components from the  
receiver or vice versa.  
Connect your audio components and the receiver with the cable (monaural mini-plug supplied with those  
components) as well as the connection above.  
For detailed information about the connection and the COMPU LINK-3 remote control system, see page 41.  
Notes:  
• If you want to operate a cassette deck using the COMPU LINK remote control system, connect the cassette  
deck to the TAPE/VCR jacks, not to the VCR1 jacks.  
• The COMPU LINK-3 remote control system is the upgraded version of the COMPU LINK-1 and COMPU  
LINK-2. Even if your component has the COMPU LINK-1 or COMPU LINK-2 jacks, you can still connect  
it in the COMPU LINK-3 remote control system, but some functions may not work correctly.

Video component connections  
If your video components have S-video (Y/C-separation) terminals, connect them using S-video cables (not  
supplied).  
Connecting these video components through the S-video input/output terminals will give you can get better  
picture playback quality.  
IMPORTANT  
This receiver is equipped with both the composite video and S-video input/output terminals for connecting video components.  
You do not have to connect both the composite video and S-video terminals.  
However, remember that the video signals from the composite video input terminals on the rear are output only through  
the composite video output terminals, while the ones from the S-video input terminals on the rear are output only  
through the S-video output terminals.  
Therefore,ifarecordingvideoequipmentandaplayingvideoequipmentareconnectedtothereceiverthroughthedifferentvideo  
terminals, you cannot record the picture from the playing equipment on the recording equipment. In addition, if the TV and a  
playingvideoequipmentareconnectedtothereceiverthroughthedifferentvideoterminals,youcannotviewtheplaybackpicture  
from the playing equipment on the TV.  
To view and record the playback picture from the video components connected to the VIDEO1,VIDEO2 and TAPE/VCR jacks,  
you must connect the TV and the recording video equipment through the composite video terminals.  
Note:  
When connecting an audio/video component (ex.: Video CD player) with “karaoke” — singing along — function, use the audio signal attenuating  
cord supplied with this receiver. If not, sound may be distorted.

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.

-
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.

Activating the Surround Sounds  
The receiver can reproduce the sounds of the DVD player with its the analog discrete output mode turned on.  
Moreover, the built-in digital surround processor provides two groups of programs — DAP (Digital Acoustic  
Processor) modes and surround modes (Dolby Surround and JVC Theater Surround).  
You cannot use the DAP mode and surround mode at the same time. When you turn on the DAP mode, the  
surround mode is turned off (if it has been on), and vice versa.  
Notes:  
• The digital surround processor has no effect on monaural sources.  
• The digital surround processor cannot be used for recording.  
On the DAP mode  
Reflections from  
behind  
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,andgivesyouarealbeingtherefeelingbyusingthefrontspeakersandrear

On DVD multi playback mode  
This receiver provides the DVD MULTI playback mode for reproducing the analog  
discrete output mode of the DVD player.  
The soundtracks of the movies are designed to sound best in movie theaters. This means  
they cannot be reproduced in a home environment as intended by movie-makers.  
With the introduction of the discrete multi-channel soundtracks of the DVD player,  
enables dynamic sound experiences of a movie theater in your home in the same way as  
intended by movie-makers.  
To activate the DVD MULTI playback mode, you need to set the playing mode of the  
DVD player according to your speaker arrangement.  
On surround mode  
With this receiver, you can use two types of the surround mode.  
Dolby Surround  
Dolby Surround has been developed to reproduce the important elements of the acoustic  
surround at home.  
DOLBY SURROUND  
To watch the soundtracks of video software bearing the mark  
* which  
includes the same encoded surround information as found in Dolby Stereo films, the  
receiver can provide you with 2 Dolby Surround modes (Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby 3ch  
Logic).  
Dolby Pro Logic: Selectthismodewhenoptionalcenterandrearspeakersareconnected.  
Dolby 3ch Logic: Select this mode when a center speaker is connected without rear

Using the DAP Modes  
You can use five DAP modes — “Dance Club, Live Club, Hall, Pavilion, and Headphones.” These modes  
(except “Headphones”) require the front speakers and the rear speakers, but do not require a center speaker  
to enlarge the sound field.  
Among the DAP modes, “Headphones” is very special. It can create the same stereo sound as you listen  
through the speakers off air while listening to a source using headphones. So, you can feel as if you were not  
using the headphones and listening to music in a room.

COMPU LINK Remote Control System  
The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate JVC 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  
8).  
CD player  
Cassette deck  
COMPU LINK – 3  
(SYNCHRO)

Notes:  
• If your audio component has two COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) jacks, you can use either one. If it has only  
oneCOMPULINK-3(SYNCHRO)jack, connectitsothatitisthelastitemintheseriesofcomponents. (For  
example, the turntable or CD player in the diagram above.)  
• Refer also to the manuals supplied with your audio components.  
This remote control system allows you to use four functions listed below.  
7

7
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 the remote control, the selected component begins playing immediately.  
In both cases, the previously selected source continues playing without sound for a few seconds.  
7
Automatic Power On/Off (only possible with the COMPU LINK-3 connection)  
Both the CD player and cassette deck turn on and off along with the receiver.  
When you turn on the receiver, the CD player or cassette deck 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 will turn off.  
7

FUNCTIONS:  
This remote control system allows you to use five functions listed below.  
Note:  
Refer also to the manuals supplied with your video components.  
7
Remote Control of the TV through the Remote Sensor on the Receiver  
You can control the TV through the remote sensor on the receiver using this remote control.  
For details, see page 47.  
Note:  
Aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the receiver when operating the TV. (However, to  
operate the VCR or DVD player, always aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the VCR or  
on the DVD player.)  
7
One-Touch Video Play  
Simply by inserting a video cassette without its safety tab into the VCR1 (the VCR connected to the VCR1  
jacks), you can enjoy the video playback without setting other switches manually.  
The receiver automatically turns on and changes the source to “VCR1.”  
The TV automatically turns on and changes the input mode to the position you can view the VCR playback.  
When you insert a video cassette with its safety tab, press the play (3) button on the VCR1 or on the remote  
control. So, you can get the same result.  
Note:  
When you connect an S-VHS VCR or the DVD player as described on page 42, you cannot see the on-screen  
displays (such as Visual Confirmation and Menus) since the AV COMPU LINK Remote Control System  
automatically changes the TV input mode to “Video input 1” when you operate the S-VHS VCR or the DVD  
player.  
If you do not mind stopping watching the picture, you can then show the on-screen displays after changing  
the TV input mode to the position (Video input 2) the receiver is connected to.  
7
One-Touch DVD Play  
Simply by starting playback on the DVD player, you can enjoy the DVD playback without setting other  
switches manually.  
The receiver automatically turns on and changes the source to “DVD” or “DVDMULTI” — DVD playback  
mode is automatically selected when a disc played in stereo or the audio output setting of the DVD player is  
mixed to two front channels, while DVD MULTI playback mode is automatically selected when a disc played  
back using the analog discrete output mode on the DVD player.  
The TV automatically turns on and changes the input mode to the position so that you can view the playback  
picture.

Using the Remote Control for Operating JVC’s Audio/Video Components  
You can operate JVC’s audio and video components with this receiver’s remote control, since control signals  
for JVC components are preset in the remote control.  
Notes:  
• If you use the buttons on the front panel or the menu function to choose a source, the remote control will  
not operate that source. To operate a source with the remote control, the source must be selected using  
buttons on the remote control.  
• Check to see if its remote control mode selector is set to the correct position.  
Normally, set it to the “TV / VCR / TUNER / CD / DVD / VCD” position.  
To activate the 10 keys for adjusting the sound, set it to the “SOUND CONTROL” position.  
• Refer also to the manuals supplied with your components.  
IMPORTANT  
To operate JVC’s audio components using this remote control:  
• You need to connect JVC audio components through the COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) jacks
