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.  
ZIST (Zero Interference audio Signal  
Transmission) circuit  
Features  
The ZIST circuit incorporated for the EXT 7.1 CH IN (input)  
jacks successfully eliminates the video signal interference to the  
audio signals by making the cold side of the audio signals  
completely independent from the ground.  
THX Ultra2 certified  
The newly introduced THX Ultra2 standard ensures the highest  
sound and picture quality and the most reliable performance by  
using seven-channel amplification to reproduce multi-channel  
software. In newly developed THX Ultra2 Cinema Mode and  
THX Music Mode, all multi-channel software (5.1 channels or  
more) is automatically detected and proper processing is applied  
to improve directional and ambient surround information through  
four surround speakers—two at the side and two at the back.  
COMPU LINK remote control system  
The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate  
other JVC audio/video components from this receiver.  
TEXT COMPU LINK remote control system  
The TEXT COMPU LINK remote control system has been  
developed to deal with the disc information recorded on the CD  
Text and MDs. Using this information on the discs, you can  
operate the CD player or MD recorder through the receiver.  
Compatible with various audio formats including  
DTS 96/24  
RX-DP20VSL allows you to enjoy newly introduced audio  
formats 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.  
Precautions  
Power sources  
7.1 channel 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 7.1-channel surround by playing 2-  
channel or multi-channel software.  
• 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.  
Ventilation  
Multi-channel headphone virtual surround  
sound—3D HEADPHONE  
The built-in headphone virtual surround system is compatible with  
multi-channel software. You can enjoy a natural surround sound  
through the headphones.  
The seven 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.)  
192 kHz/24 bit PEM DD audio DA converter  
The JVC-exclusive converter is now upgraded to be fully  
compatible with DVD Audio’s high specifications. Subtle nuances  
are accurately reproduced.  
Others  
K2 Technology  
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall onto the unit, unplug the  
unit and consult your dealer before operating any further.  
• Do not use this receiver in a bathroom or places with water.  
• Do not place any containers filled with water or liquids (such as  
cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups, etc.) on  
top of this receiver.  
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.  
CC (Compensative Compression) Converter  
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.  
• Do not disassemble the unit since there are no user serviceable  
parts inside.  
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your  
JVC dealer.

This receiver is equipped with the following video jackscomposite  
video, S-video and component video jacks. You can use any of the  
three to connect a video component.  
Decoder  
(or DVD player)  
However, observe the following points when make connections:  
Composite video signals and S-video signals can be converted  
into each other, and can be also converted into component  
signals. So incoming signals of both types can be emitted through  
all video output jacks. (If both signals are used, the unit  
automatically gives priority to S-video signals.)  
Pictures may be distorted if the signals are converted. If this  
happens, connect the playback source component and TV using  
the cords of the same type.

The ZIST circuit (see page 1) is incorporated for the EXT 7.1CH IN jacks  
to clarify the audio signals independently from the video input circuit.  
However, if the external component connected to the EXT 7.1CH IN jacks  
and this receiver are not connected using video cords (composite, S-  
video, or component), noise may happen to be generated when listening  
to this external component.  
The VIDEO input terminals on the front panel are convenient when  
connecting and disconnecting the component frequently.  
When you do not use the VIDEO input terminals, attach the front  
terminal cover (supplied) to these jacks to protect them from dust.

bilingual broadcast 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.

Using this function, you can compensate for this over-enhanced  
bass sound through the subwoofer.  
Only when BASS PEAK LIMITis ON,you can emit the  
bass test tone through the subwoofer and/or other speakers  
(depending on your settings on the SPEAKER SETTING  
submenu), and adjust the bass peak level (see below).

Using the Surround and THX Modes  
This unit activates a variety of Surround and THX modes automatically. The stored basic settings and adjustments  
performed on the Setup and Adjustment Menus (see pages 29 to 44) are applied.  
Reproducing Theater Ambience  
Introducing the Surround and THX Modes  
Home THX*1  
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.  
Home THX Audio Systems, developed by THX Ltd., has become  
the world’s standard for film enjoyment in the home. It is one of the  
multi-channel home entertainment systems to reproduce all multi-  
channel sources accurately in the home.  
In newly developed THX Ultra2 Cinema Mode or THX Music  
Mode, all multi-channel software (5.1 channels or more) is  
automatically detected and proper processing is applied to improve  
directional and ambient surround information through four surround  
speakers—two at the side and two at the back.  
Surround modes built in this receiver can create almost the same  
surround sounds as you can feel in a real movie theater—with only  
five or seven speakers (plus subwoofer).  
• This receiver provides four types of THX modes—THX Ultra2  
Cinema (THX U2 CINEMA), THX Music (THX MUSIC), THX  
Surround EX (THX SURR EX), THX Cinema (THX CINEMA).  
When any one of the THX modes is activated, the  
indicator  
lights up on the display.  
THX Ultra2 Cinema : Best for playing any 5.1-channel encoded  
movie software, this mode can stabilize the  
sound localization and enlarge the sound  
field. (Only selectable with a pair of  
surround back speakers.)  
THX Music  
: Best for playing any 5.1-channel encoded  
music software. (Only selectable with a  
pair of surround back speakers.)  
THX Surround EX : Best for playing Dolby Digital EX encoded  
software. (Only selectable with one or a  
pair of surround back speakers.)  
THX Cinema  
: To reproduce the sound through all  
activated speakers except surround back  
speakers. (When THX Cinema is applied to  
Neo: 6 Cinema, sounds can also be emitted  
from the surround back speakers.)  
THX modes can be also applied to any source together with  
another Surround mode.  
Dolby Digital*2  
Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed by  
Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and  
decoding (1ch up to 5.1ch).  
When a Dolby Digital signal is detected through the digital input,  
DIGITAL  
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.

Dolby Digital EX  
DTS Extended Surround (DTS-ES)  
Dolby Digital EX (DOLBY D EX) is a new digital surround  
encoding format that adds the third surround channels, called  
surround back.”  
Compared to the conventional Dolby Digital 5.1CH, the newly  
added surround back channel can reproduce more detailed  
movements behind you while viewing the video software. In  
addition, surround sound localization will become more stable.  
DTS-ES is another new 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 (DTS-ES DSCRT)  
and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1ch (DTS-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.  
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.  
The Dolby Pro Logic (PRO LOGIC) 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  
on the display.  
indicator lights up  
DTS 96/24  
THX Cinema can be applied together with Pro Logic when an  
analog or digital 2-channel software is played back.  
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.  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
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 signals are detected, the 96/24 indicator lights  
up. You can enjoy its 5.1-channel sound with full-quality.  
Dolby Pro Logic II has a newly developed 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).  
DTS Neo:6  
DTS Neo:6 is a newly developed conversion method to create  
6-channel (plus subwoofer) from analog/digital 2-channel software  
and DTS Digital Surround software by using the high precision  
digital matrix decoder used for DTS-ES Matrix 6.1ch.  
This receiver provides two types of DTS Neo:6 modesNeo:6  
Cinema (NEO:6 CINEMA) and Neo:6 Music (NEO:6 MUSIC).  
When either Neo:6 mode is activated, the Neo:6 indicator lights  
up on the display.  
When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the  
lights up on the display.  
indicator  
Pro Logic II 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.  
Pro Logic II Music : Suitable for playing any 2-channel stereo  
software. You can enjoy wide and deep  
sounds.  
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 playing  
software encoded with conventional surround  
formats.  
THX Cinema can be applied together with Pro Logic II Movie  
when an analog or digital 2-channel software is played back.  
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.  
DTS*3  
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).  
THX Cinema can be applied together with Neo:6 Cinema when an  
analog or digital 2-channel software is played back.  
When a DTS signal is detected through the digital input,  
the  
indicator lights up on the display.  
About Dual Mono  
This format is now adopted in Dolby Digital, DTS, and so on.  
When Dual Mono signals are detected, DUAL MONO”  
appears, and the DUAL indicator lights up on the display.  
See page 20 for more details.  
DTS Digital Surround  
DTS Digital Surround (DTS SURROUND) 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 7.1-channel reproduction mode (EX/ES/7.1) 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.

Surround and THX Modes Applicable to the Various Software  
Available Surround modes and THX modes vary depending on the speaker settings and the incoming signals.  
The tables from this page to the next page show the relation of the Surround/THX modes and the incoming signals (with surround back  
speakers and 7.1-channel reproduction mode settings).  
If only front speakers are activated, you cannot use the THX modes and the 7.1-channel reproduction mode (ES/EX/7.1).  
The numbers inside the parentheses under the incoming signal type indicate the number of the front channels and that of the surround  
channels. For example, (3/2) indicates that the signals are encoded with three front signals (left/right/center) and two (stereo) surround  
signals.

About Dialog Normalization  
Dialog Normalization is one of the standard functions for Dolby  
Digital and its level is encoded together with the audio signals.  
With this function, the sound output level of Dolby Digital  
software can be kept at almost the same level even if the  
recording levels differ among software.

digital software.  
THX also has the same function and its own standard level,  
which is different from that for Dolby Digital.  
If you see a message in the main display that shows DIAL.  
NORM: XX (number)this means that the source material that  
you are listening to has been encoded at a higher or lower level  
than normal. To keep the volume level consistent from program  
to program, adjust the volume control by the amount (XX) in  
this message.  
When an analog or digital 2-channel source is playing with  
Surround activated, you can adjust the 7.1-channel reproduction  
mode and store the setting, but it will not affect the current  
source.
