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.  
Make sure to match the polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).  
3 Replace the cover.  
If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases,  
replace the batteries. Use two R6(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell  
batteries.  
Locations  
• Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from  
moisture and dust.  
• Supplied batteries are for initial setup. Replace for continued  
use.  
• 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.  
• Leave sufficient distance between the receiver and the TV.  
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

unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage  
the cord.  
When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at  
the remote sensor on the front panel.  
• When you are away on travel or otherwise for an extended  
period or time, remove the plug from the wall outlet. A small  
amount of power is always consumed while the power cord is  
connected to the wall outlet.

Introducing the Surround modes  
Dolby Digital*  
Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed by  
Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and  
decoding.  
Creating realistic  
sound fields  
• When Dolby Digital signal is detected through the digital input,  
the  
indicator lights up on the display.  
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.  
Reproducing theater ambience  
In a movie theater, many speakers are located on the walls to  
reproduce impressive multi-channel sound, reaching you from all  
directions.  
With these many speakers, sound localization and sound  
movement can be expressed.  
Surround/DSP modes built in this receiver can create almost the  
same Surround sound as you can feel in a real movie theater.  
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.  
Dolby Surround  
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.

modes—Pro Logic II Movie (PLII MOVIE), Pro Logic II Music  
(PLII MUSIC), and Pro Logic II Game (PLII GAME).

Dolby Pro Logic IIx  
DTS Neo:6  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx is a newly introduced multi-channel playback  
format to convert not only multi-channel software but 2-channel  
software into 7.1 channel (or 6.1 channel) that developed from  
Dolby Pro Logic II. The matrix-based conversion method used for  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of  
the surround treble.  
• This receiver provides three types of Dolby Pro Logic IIx  
modes—Pro Logic IIx Movie (PLIIx MOVIE), Pro Logic IIx

** “DTS”, “DTS-ES”, “Neo:6” and “DTS 96/24” are trademarks  
of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.  
To enjoy software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the  
source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this  
receiver. (See page 10.)  
When using Surround mode, the sounds come out of the  
activated speakers which the Surround mode requires.  
• If either “SURROUND SPK” or “CENTER SPK” is set to  
<NO>” in the speaker setting (see page 22), the  
corresponding channel signals are allocated to and emitted  
through the front speakers.  
• If both “SURROUND SPK” and “CENTER SPK” are set to  
<NO>” in the speaker setting (see page 22), 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**  
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) 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.  
3D HEADPHONE mode  
If you connect a pair of headphones while one of the Surround  
modes is in use, the 3D HEADPHONE mode is activated  
regardless of the type of software played back.  
“3D HEADPHONE” appears on the display and the DSP and  
HEADPHONE indicators light up.  
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 channel—surround  
back channel.  
DTS-ES includes two signal formats with different surround signal  
recording methods—DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch (ES DISCRETE)  
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.  
About other digital signals  
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 LINEAR PCM  
indicator lights up.  
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 back”  
channel signal is encoded (and decoded) in both the left and right  
surround channel signals.  
Dual Mono  
Dual Mono can be easily understood when you think of the  
bilingual broadcast 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.  
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.  
You can select either channel you want to listen to (see  
page 24).  
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.  
• When DTS 96/24 signal is detected, the  
and 96/24  
indicators light up.You can enjoy its 5.1-channel sound with full-  
quality.

When using the DAP mode, the sounds come out of all the  
connected and activated speakers.  
Introducing the DSP modes  
• If “SURROUND SPK” is set to “<NO>” in the speaker  
setting (see page 22), JVC’s original 3D-PHONIC processing  
(which has been developed to create the surround effect  
through the front speakers only) is used.  
The sound heard in a concert hall, club, etc. 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 3D-PHONIC indicator lights up on the display.  
MONO FILM  
The DSP modes can create these important elements, and give  
you a real “being there” feeling.  
In order to reproduce a more acoustic sound field in your listening  
room while viewing monaural sound video software (analog and  
2-channel digital signals including Dual Mono signal), you can use  
this mode.  
The surround effect will be added, and the sound localization of  
actor’s words will be improved.  
Reflections from behind  
Early reflections  
This mode cannot be used for multi-channel digital signals.  
When “MONO FILM” is used, sounds come out of all the  
connected (and activated) speakers.  
If “SURROUND SPK” is set to “<NO>” in the speaker  
setting (see page 22), 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.  
• If incoming signals change from 2-channel digital signal to  
another digital signal type, “MONO FILM” is canceled and an  
appropriate Surround mode is activated.  
Direct sounds  
The DSP modes include the following modes:  
• Digital Acoustic Processor (DAP) modes—HALL1, HALL2, LIVE  
CLUB, DANCE CLUB, PAVILION, THEATER1, THEATER2  
• MONO FILM—Used for all types of 2-channel signals (including  
Dual Mono signal)  
All Channel Stereo mode (ALL CH STEREO)  
This mode can reproduce a larger stereo sound field using all the  
connected (and activated) speakers. This mode cannot be used  
if “SURROUND SPK” is set to “<NO>” in the speaker setting  
(see page 22).  
• All Channel Stereo mode (ALL CH STEREO)  
When one of the DSP modes is activated, the DSP indicator lights  
up on the display.  
Digital Acoustic Processor (DAP) modes  
You can use the following DAP modes in order to reproduce a  
more acoustic sound field in your listening room.  
HALL1  
Reproduces the spatial feeling of a large  
shoebox-shaped hall designed primarily for  
classical concerts. (Its seating capacity is about  
2000.)  
HALL2
