through the subwoofer. In other words, you can determine
whether or not the bass elements of the front speaker channels
are transmitted through the subwoofer regardless of the front
speaker size setting (either “SMALL” or “LARGE”).
Setting the Speaker Distance
The distance from your listening point to the speakers is another
important element to obtain the best possible sound of the Surround
and DSP modes. Set the distance from your listening point to the
speakers.
Select one of the following:
By referring to the speaker distance setting, this unit automatically
sets the delay time of the sound through each speaker so that sounds
through all the speakers can reach you with the same timing.
• If you have used Quick Speaker Setup on page 18, this setting is
not required.
SWFR LFE: Select to emit only the LFE signals (while
playing Dolby Digital and DTS software) or the
bass elements of the “SMALL” front speakers
(while playing any source other than the above).
SWFR LFE+MAIN: Select to always emit the bass elements of
the front speaker channels (MAIN). While
playing Dolby Digital and DTS software, the
bass element and the LFE signals are both
emitted.

Using the Surround Modes
This unit activates a variety of Surround modes automatically. The basic settings and adjustments stored (see pages
18 to 24) are applied automatically.
Reproducing Theater Ambience
Introducing the Surround Modes
Dolby Digital*1
Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed
by Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and
decoding (1ch up to 5.1ch).
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.
• When Dolby Digital signal is detected through the digital input,
the
indicator lights up on the display.
Surround modes built in this receiver can create almost the same
surround sounds as you can feel in a real movie theater—with only
a limited number of the speakers.
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.
Another digital surround encoding format introduced by Dolby
Laboratories is Dolby Digital EX, which 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.
• You can use Virtual Surround Back (see page 22) when playing
back Dolby Digital EX software. This function creates the great
surround effect from the behind as if you have connected the
surround back speakers.
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).
Subwoofer
When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the
indicator lights up on the display.

Using the Surround Modes
DTS*2
What is 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
indicator lights up.
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 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.
What is Dual Mono?
Dual Mono can be easily understood when you think of the
bilingual broadcast or the MTS (Multichannel Television Sound)
format 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.
• When Dual Mono signal is detected, the
lights up. You can select either channel you want to listen to
(see page 21).
Another multi-channel digital encoding format introduced by Digital
Theater Systems, Inc. is DTS Extended Surround (DTS-ES).
It greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and space
expression by adding the third surround channel—surround back
channel.
indicator
DTS-ES includes two signal formats with different surround signal
recording methods—DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch and DTS-ES Matrix
6.1ch.
• You can use Virtual Surround Back (see page 22) when playing
back DTS-ES software. This function creates the great surround
effect from the behind as if you have connected the surround back
speakers.
When using the Surround mode, the sounds come out of the
activated speakers which the Surround mode requires.
• If either the surround speakers or center speaker is set to “NONE”
in the speaker setting, the corresponding channel signals are
allocated to and emitted through the front speakers.
• If both the surround speakers and center speaker are set to
“NONE” in the speaker setting, 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 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.

COMPU LINK Remote Control System
The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate JVC’s audio components through the remote sensor on
the receiver.
To use this remote control system, you need to connect JVC’s audio
components through the COMPU LINK (SYNCHRO) jacks using
the cables with monaural mini-plugs (not supplied, see below) in
addition to the connections using cables with RCA pin plugs (see
page 7).
• Make sure that the AC power cords of these components are
unplugged before connection. Plug the AC power cords only after
all connections are complete.
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 on the remote control, the
selected component begins playing immediately.
In both cases, the previously selected source continues playing
without sound for a few seconds.
Automatic Power On/Off (standby)—only possible with
the COMPU LINK-3 and COMPU LINK-4
Cassette deck
or
CD recorder
The connected components turn on and off (standby) along with the
receiver.
CD player
When you turn on the receiver, one of the connected components
will turn on automatically, depending on which component has been
previously selected.
When you turn off the receiver, the connected components will turn
off (standby).
Synchronized Recording
Synchronized recording means the cassette deck starts recording as
soon as a CD begins playing.
COMPU LINK-4
(SYNCHRO)
To use synchronized recording, follow these steps:
1 Put a tape in the cassette deck, and a disc in the
CD player.
2 Press the record (¶) button and the pause (8)
button on the cassette deck at the same time.
This puts the cassette deck into recording pause.
If you do not press the record (¶) button and pause (8) button at
the same time, the synchronized recording feature will not
operate.
Notes:
• There are four versions of COMPU LINK remote control system.
This receiver is equipped with the fourth version—COMPU LINK-4.
This version is added systematic operations with the CD recorder to
the previous version—COMPU LINK-3.
• If your audio component has two COMPU LINK jacks, you can use
either one. If it has only one COMPU LINK jack, connect it so that it
is the last item in the series of components.
3 Press the play (3) button on the CD player.
The source changes on the receiver, and as soon as play starts,
the cassette deck starts recording. When the play ends, the
cassette deck enters recording pause, and stops about 4 seconds
later.
• To operate the cassette deck or CD recorder using the COMPU
LINK remote control system, set the source name correctly if
required. (See page 14.)
Notes:
• During synchronized recording, the selected source cannot be
changed.
• Refer also to the manuals supplied with your audio components.
• If the power of any component is shut off during synchronized
recording, the COMPU LINK remote control system may not
operate properly. In this case, you must start again from the
beginning.
This remote control system allows you to use four functions listed
below.
Remote Control through the Remote Sensor on the
Receiver
You can control the connected audio components through the remote
sensor on the receiver using this remote control. Aim the remote
control directly at the remote sensor on the receiver. For details,
