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.
COMPU LINK/AV COMPU LINK remote control
systems
Features
The COMPU LINK/AV COMPU LINK remote control systems
allow you to operate other JVC audio/video components from this
receiver.
THX Surround EX (DTS-ES compatible)
By adding surround back speakers through an amplifier
(separately purchased) connected to the PREOUT (SURR BACK)
jacks, you can enjoy THX Surround EX. It is a format that has
additional left and right surround back channels on the basis of
Dolby Digital 5.1 channels. It improves the definition and the
sense of sound movement in surround (rear) channels.
• This receiver is also compatible with DTS Extended Surround
(DTS-ES)—another multichannel surround containing
additional left and right surround back channels.
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.
5.1 channel DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor)
Precautions
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 5.1-channel surround by playing 2-
channel or 5.1-channel software.
• By adding surround back speakers through an amplifier
(separately purchased) connected to the PREOUT (SURR
BACK) jacks, you can enjoy 7.1-channel surround.
Power sources
• 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
Multichannel headphone virtual surround
sound—3D HEADPHONE
Five high power amplifiers built in this receiver will generate heat
inside the cabinet. When the temperature inside the cabinet
increases, the internal fan automatically starts rotating to reduce the
internal temperature. 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.)
The built-in headphone virtual surround system is compatible with
multichannel software like Dolby Digital, DTS Surround, etc.
Thanks to the new signal processing algorithms used by the high-
performance DSP, you can enjoy a natural surround sound through
the headphones.
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
• 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.
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 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.
Multi-brand remote control
The remote control provided for this receiver can transmit control
signals for many manufacturers’ components.
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your
JVC dealer.

Video component connections
IMPORTANT:
Use the cables with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).
Connect the white plug to the audio left jack, the red plug to the
audio right jack, and the yellow plug to the video jack.
• If your video components have S-video (Y/C-separation) and/or
component video (Y, PB/CB, PR/CR) jacks, connect them using an
S-video cable (not supplied) and/or component video cable (not
supplied). By using these jacks, you can get a better picture
quality—in the order : Component video > S-video > Composite
video.
This receiver is equipped with the following video jacks—composite
video, S-video and component video jacks.You can use any of the
three to connect a video component.
However, the video signals from one type of these input jacks are
output only through the video output jacks of the same type.
Therefore, if a recording video component and a playing video
component are connected to the receiver through the video jacks of
the different type, you cannot record the picture. In addition, if the TV
and a playing video component are connected to the receiver through
the video jacks of the different type, you cannot view the playback
picture on the TV.

Digital Connections
• When shipped from the factory, the DIGITAL IN terminals have
been set for use with the following components:
– DIGITAL 1 (coaxial): For DVD player
This receiver is equipped with four DIGITAL IN terminals—one
digital coaxial terminal and three digital optical terminals—and one
DIGITAL OUT terminal.
– DIGITAL 2 (optical): For CD player
– DIGITAL 3 (optical): For digital TV broadcast tuner
– DIGITAL 4 (optical): For CD recorder
IMPORTANT:
• When you want to operate the CD player, CD recorder, or MD
recorder using the COMPU LINK remote control system, connect
the target component also as described in “Analog connections”
(see page 10).
• When connecting the DVD player, digital TV broadcast tuner, or
DBS tuner using the digital terminals, you also need to connect it to
the video terminal on the rear. Without connecting it to the video
terminal, you cannot view any playback picture.
• When you want to operate the VCR or DVD player using the AV
COMPU LINK remote control system, connect the target
component also as described in “Analog connections” (see pages
11, 13).
• After connecting the components using the DIGITAL IN terminals,
set the following correctly if necessary.
– Set the digital input (DIGITAL IN) terminal setting correctly. For
details, see “Setting the Digital Input Terminals—DIGITAL IN” on
page 32.
– Select the digital input mode correctly. For details, see “Selecting
the Analog or Digital Input Mode” on page 20.

Connecting the Power Cord
Putting Batteries in the Remote Control
Before plugging the receiver into an AC outlet, make sure that all
connections have been made.
Before using the remote control, insert the two supplied batteries
first.
Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.
1. On the back of the remote control, remove the
battery cover.
2. Insert the batteries.
• Make sure to match the polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables and the
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.
R6(SUM3)/AA(15F)
Note:
The preset settings such as preset channels and sound adjustment
may be erased in a few days in the following cases:
– When you unplug the power cord.
– When a power failure occurs.
CAUTIONS:
3. Replace the cover.
• 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.
If the remote control cannot transmit signals or operate the receiver
correctly, replace the batteries. Use two R6(SUM3)/AA(15F) type
dry-cell batteries.
• When the remote control transmits a signal, the signal
transmission indicator on the remote’s display lights up.
Notes:
• If you aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the
receiver, you can operate the receiver at a distance of up to 7 m
(23 feet).
• When replacing the batteries, finish it without delay; otherwise, the
preset signals are all erased (see page 58).
CAUTIONS:
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.

NOTICE—
When performing sound adjustments viewing the indications on the
main unit’s display, the indications shown are slightly different from
what is shown on the on-screen display.
This is because of the limited number of characters shown on the
main unit’s display.
• If Line Direct is in use (see page 21), you cannot make any
sound adjustments using the Adjustment Menu.
• Items on the menus shown above are all set to the initial
values when shipped from the factory.
• Some of the menus or some items on the menu cannot be
shown or cannot be adjusted. (For details, see the respective
explanation in this section.)
Ex. • “FRONT L LEVEL” is shown as “FRONT L LVL” on the main
unit’s display.
• “CENTER LEVEL” is shown as “CENTER LVL” on the main unit’s
display.

Using the Surround Modes
This unit activates a variety of Surround Modes automatically according to the stored basic settings and adjustments
performed on the Setup and Adjustment Menus (see pages 26 to 38).
Introducing the Surround Modes
Reproducing Theater Ambience
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.
THX Surround EX (Dolby Digital EX)*
Best used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software
encoded with Dolby Digital EX.
• To enjoy the software encoded with Dolby Digital EX, connect the
source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this
receiver. (See page 14.)
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).
Dolby Digital EX is a new digital surround encoding format that
adds the third surround channels, called “surround back”
(2 channels—but, the same signals are recorded for both left and
right surround back channels).
Comparing 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.
The THX Surround EX* mode built in this receiver decodes Dolby
Surround EX encoding, and allows you to enjoy a realistic surround
field in your listening room.
Furthermore, this decoder also works for any sound source, applying
one of two THX Surround modes—“THX SURR EX” or “THX
CINEMA.”
• “THX SURR EX” or “THX CINEMA” is automatically selected
when you press THX ON/OFF.
THX SURR EX : To reproduce the sound through all activated
speakers. (Best for playing Dolby Digital EX or
DTS-ES encoded software)
THX CINEMA : To reproduce the sound through all activated
speakers except the surround back speakers.
Dolby Digital 5.1CH*
Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software
encoded with Dolby Digital (
).

• To enjoy the software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the
source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this
receiver. (See page 14.)
Subwoofer
Dolby Digital 5.1CH encoding method (so-called discrete 5.1
channel digital audio format) 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 LFE channel is counted as 0.1 channel. Therefore,
called 5.1 channel).
Left front speaker(s)
Right front speaker(s)
Center speaker
As each channel is completely independent from the other channel
signals to avoid interference, you can obtain a much better sound
quality with better stereo and surround effects.
In addition, 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.

Note:
Dolby Surround (Dolby Pro Logic)**
When you select “DVD MULTI” as the source to play, you cannot
select the Surround and DSP modes.
Used to reproduce sound tracks of the software encoded with Dolby
DOLBY SURROUND
Surround (
).
Dolby Surround encoding format records the left front channel,
right front channel, center channel, and surround channel signals
(total 4 channels) into 2 channels.
3D HEADPHONE Mode
The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built in this receiver decodes these 2
channel signals into 4 original channel signals—matrix-based
multichannel reproduction, and allows you to enjoy a realistic
surround sound in your listening room.
• When Dolby Pro Logic is activated, the PRO LOGIC indicator
lights up on the display.
You can also enjoy the surround effect (except THX Surround
modes) through the headphones.
By pressing SURROUND ON/OFF when the headphones are
connected, 3D HEADPHONE mode is activated without respect
to the type of software played back.
• Dolby Pro Logic will be activated for all 2 channel software when
the Surround mode is turned on. (The PRO LOGIC indicator lights
up.)
The DSP and HEADPHONE indicators also light up.
• Dolby Pro Logic will be activated for all 2-channel software.
(The PRO LOGIC indicator lights up.)
DTS Surround***
Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software
encoded with DTS Surround (
).
DVD MULTI Playback Mode
• To enjoy the software encoded with DTS Surround, connect the
source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this
receiver. (See page 14.)
This receiver provides the DVD MULTI playback mode for
reproducing the analog discrete 5.1 channel output mode of the
DVD player or other equipment.
You can adjust the DVD MULTI playback mode while playing
back a video software such as a DVD using the analog discrete
5.1 channel output mode.
• For the DVD MULTI playback mode connection, see page 13.
• For details on the DVD MULTI playback mode, see page 46.
DTS Surround is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format
available on CD, LD, and DVD software.
Compared to Dolby Digital, the DTS Surround format has a lower
audio compression rate which enables it to add breadth and depth to
the sounds reproduced. As such, DTS Surround features natural,
solid and clear sound.
DTS Extended Surround (DTS-ES)
This is another new digital surround encoding format that adds the
third surround channels.
• This unit is compatible with DTS Extended Surround (DTS-ES).
You can play back DTS-ES encoded software using THX
Surround EX.

Using the DSP Modes
This unit provides a variety of DSP (Digital Signal Processor) Modes.
To use the DSP modes, press DSP MODE so that the DSP modes
change as follows.
Reproducing the Sound Field
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 Surround and DSP modes can create these important elements,
and give you a real “being there” feeling.
= LARGE HALL 1 = LARGE HALL 2 = RECITAL HALL
= OPERA HOUSE = CHURCH = LIVE CLUB
= DANCE CLUB = PAVILION = ALL CH STEREO
= LARGE THEATER = SMALL THEATER
= STEREO FILM = MONO FILM = 3D THEATER
= SURROUND OFF (DSP off) = (Back to the beginning)
: Suitable for audio sources
: Suitable for video sources
Reflections from
behind
Early reflections
DAP modes
You can use the following DAP modes in order to reproduce a more
acoustic sound field in your listening room.
LARGE HALL 1 : Reproduces the spatial feeling of a large
shoebox-shaped hall designated primarily for
classical concerts. (Its seating capacity is about
2000.)
Direct sounds
LARGE HALL 2 : Reproduces the spatial feeling of a large
vineyards-shaped hall designated primarily for
classical concerts. (Its seating capacity is about
2000.)
Introducing the DSP Modes
RECITAL HALL : Reproduces the spatial feeling of a small hall
designated primarily for classical recitals.
The DSP modes include the following modes—
• DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes (LARGE HALL 1,
LARGE HALL 2, RECITAL HALL, OPERA HOUSE,
CHURCH, LIVE CLUB, DANCE CLUB, PAVILION, LARGE
THEATER, SMALL THEATER)
(Seating capacity is about 500.)
OPERA HOUSE : Reproduces the spatial feeling of an opera
house with a high ceiling and multi-level
seating layout.
• ALL CH STEREO
• STEREO FILM/MONO FILM
• 3D THEATER
CHURCH
: Reproduces the spatial feeling of a majestic
church with a high ceiling.
LIVE CLUB
: Reproduces the spatial feeling of a live music
club with a low ceiling.
DANCE CLUB : Reproduces the spatial feeling of a rocking

ALL Channel Stereo mode (ALL CH STEREO)
Activating the DSP Modes
This mode can reproduce a larger stereo sound field using all the
connected (and activated) speakers. This mode cannot be used
without connecting the surround speakers.
Perform the basic settings and adjustments using the Setup and
Adjustment Menus first (see pages 26 to 38).
• The CENTER CHANNEL submenu settings and the DSP
PARAMETER submenu settings cannot be applied to All Channel
Stereo mode. (You cannot adjust them for this mode.)
• If headphones are connected or if the front speakers are
deactivated, “ALL CH STEREO” cannot be selected (see
