Putting batteries in the remote control

Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.

Getting started

1 Press and slide the battery cover on the back

Before Installation

of the remote control.

2 Insert 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.

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 butteries 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).

CAUTION:

• 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

cabinet.

• Do not expose the receiver to rain or moisture.

• 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.

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.

Remote sensor

The receiver has a built-in cooling fan which operates

while the receiver is turned on. Be sure to leave enough

ventilation to obtain sufficient cooling effect.

CAUTION:

Do not connect the AC power plug to the wall outlet until all

connections are completed.

Making sounds natural

JVC’s CC (Compression Compensative) 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 176.4 kHz (for fs 44.1 kHz

signals)/192 kHz (for fs 48 kHz signals) on the front speakers.

By using the CC Converter, you can obtain a natural sound field

from both digital and analog sources.

The speaker indicators light up as follows:

• The subwoofer indicator ( _S.WFR) lights up when

“SUBWOOFER” is set to “SUBWFR <YES>.” For details,

see page 19.

Setting the speaker distance

The distance from your listening point to the speakers is one of

the important elements to obtain the best possible sound effect

from the Surround/DSP modes.

Introducing the Surround modes

I 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.

I 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.

• This receiver provides two types of Dolby Pro Logic II modes—

Pro Logic II Movie (PLII MOVIE) and Pro Logic II Music (PLII

MUSIC).

When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the

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 two types of Dolby Pro Logic IIx modes—

Pro Logic IIx Movie (PLIIx MOVIE) and Pro Logic IIx Music

(PLIIx MUSIC).

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.

• This receiver provides the following DTS Neo:6 modes—Neo:6

Cinema (NEO:6 CINEMA) and Neo:6 Music (NEO:6 MUSIC).

When one of them is activated, the NEO:6 indicator lights up on

the display.

When Dolby Pro Logic IIx is activated, “PLIIx MOVIE” or “PLIIx

NEO:6 CINEMA 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

surround formats.

MUSIC” appear and the

indicator lights up on the

display.

PLIIx MOVIE Suitable for playing any Dolby Surround encoded

software.You can enjoy a sound field with a

natural wraparound effect.

NEO:6 MUSIC Suitable for playing music software. The front

channel signals bypass the decoder (resulting in

no loss of sound quality) and the surround

signals transmitted through the other speakers

expand the sound field naturally.

PLIIx MUSIC Suitable for playing any 2-channel stereo

software.You can enjoy wide and deep 7.1-

channel sounds.

• To enjoy software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the

source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this

receiver. (See page 11.)

activated speakers which the Surround mode requires.

I DTS**

• If either “SURROUND SPK” or “CENTER SPK” is set to

“<NO>” in the speaker setting (see page 19), the

corresponding channel signals are allocated to and emitted

through the front speakers.

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

without respect to 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).

About other digital signals

Linear PCM

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 back”

channel signal is encoded (and decoded) in both the left and right

surround channel signals.

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.

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.

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.

• You can select either channel you want to listen to (see

page 21).

• 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 19), 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.

I 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 19), 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)

I 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
