Getting Started  
This section explains how to connect stereo components and speakers to the receiver, and how to connect the  
power supply.  
Before Installation  
General  
• 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.  
Locations  
• Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from moisture.  
• The temperature around the receiver must be between –5˚ and 35˚ C (23˚ and 95˚ F).  
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor ventilation could cause overheating and  
damage the receiver.  
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.  
Checking the Supplied Accessories  
Check to be sure you have all of the following items, which are supplied with the receiver.  
The number in the parentheses indicates quantity of the pieces supplied.  
• Remote Control (1)  
• Batteries (2)  
• AM (MW/LW) Loop Antenna (1)  
• FM Antenna (1)  
If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.

Connecting the Speakers  
You can connect the following speakers:  
• Two sets of front speakers to produce normal stereo sound  
• One set of rear speakers to enjoy the surround effect  
• One center speaker to produce more effective surround effect (to make human voices outstanding)  
• One subwoofer to enhance the bass  
For each speaker (except for subwoofer), connect one end of the speaker signal cable (not supplied) to the  
speaker terminal on the rear panel and the other end to the speaker. (For connecting a subwoofer, see page 7.)  
1. Open each terminal.  
2. Insert the end of the speaker signal cable as shown (be sure to remove the insulation at the end  
of each wire first).  
3. Close the terminals to clamp the speaker signal cables firmly in place.  
4. Connect the black (–) and red (+) terminals on the rear panel to the black (–) and red (+)  
terminals marked on the speakers.  
CAUTION:  
When connecting speakers, use speakers with the same SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by  
the speaker terminals.

About the speaker impedance of the speakers  
CAUTION:  
When connecting speakers, use speakers with the same SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by  
the speaker terminals.  
Notes:  
• The required speaker impedance of the front speakers does not differ depending on whether both the  
FRONT SPEAKERS 1 and FRONT SPEAKERS 2 terminals are used or only one of them is used.  
• The required speaker impedance of the front speakers differs depending on whether or not a center and/  
or rear speakers are connected at the same time. Since there are four possible speaker connections with  
the receiver, check which one fits your case and use the speaker with the impedance described below.

Connecting Audio Components for the COMPU LINK-3 Remote Control System  
The COMPU LINK-3 remote control system allows you to control other JVC audio components from the  
receiver or vice versa. To use this system, connect your JVC audio components and the receiver with the cable  
(monaural mini-plug) supplied with those components.  
If your audio component has two COMPU LINK-3 SYNCHRO jacks, you can use either one.  
If it has only one COMPU LINK-3 SYNCHRO jack, connect it so that it is the last item in the series of  
components (for example, the turntable and the CD player in the diagram below).  
Notes:  
• The COMPU LINK-3 remote control system is the upgraded version of the COMPU LINK-1 and COMPU  
LINK-2. Even if your component has the COMPU LINK-1 or COMPU LINK-2 jacks, you can still connect  
it in the COMPU LINK-3 remote control system, but some functions may not work correctly.  
• For more information about the COMPU LINK-3 (-1 and -2) remote control system, see page 31.

Connecting the Power Cord  
Before plugging the receiver into an AC outlet, make sure that all connections have been made.  
1. Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.  
POWER  
2. Press POWER to set it in the _ON position.  
The STANDBY lamp lights up. A small amount of power is always consumed.  
_ON —OFF  
To shut off the power completely:  
Press POWER to set it in the —OFF position.  
Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables for the TV, VCR, and 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.  
The difference between the POWER switch and the STANDBY/ON  
button  
• The POWER switch is the mains supply switch, allowing the receiver to connect to the mains supply.  
To shut off the power completely, press the POWER switch to set it in the —OFF position.  
• The STANDBY/ON  
button is a functional on/off (standby) switch, and does not disconnect the  
receiver from the mains supply. A small amount of power is consumed even in standby mode for the  
receiver to accept signals from the remote control.  
Note:  
The preset settings such as preset channel and sound adjustment may be erased in the following cases:  
• When you press POWER to set it in the —OFF position.  
• When you unplug the power cord.  
• When a power failure occurs.  
CAUTIONS:  
• Do not touch the power cord with wet hands.  
• Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the receiver. When unplugging the receiver, always  
grasp the plug itself so as not to damage the cord.  
Putting Batteries in the Remote Control  
Before using the remote control, put the two supplied batteries in first. When using the remote control, aim  
the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the receiver.  
1. On the back of the remote control, press down on the battery cover and slide it out.  
2. Insert batteries. Make sure to observe the proper polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).  
3. Slide the cover.  
R6P (SUM-3)/AA (15F)  
If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace the batteries. Use two R6P (SUM-3)/  
AA (15F) type dry-cell batteries.  
CAUTIONS:  
Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:  
• Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity indicated: (+) 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.

Using the RDS (Radio Data System) to Receive FM Stations  
RDS allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular program signals. For example,  
the stations send their station names, as well as information about what type of program they broadcast, such  
as sports or music, etc.  
When tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS service, the RDS indicator lights up on the display.  
With the receiver, you can receive the following types of RDS signals.  
PS (Program Service) :  
PTY (Program Type) :  
RT (Radio Text) :  
shows commonly known station names  
shows types of broadcast programs  
shows text messages the station sends  
About characters shown on the display  
When the display shows PS, PTY, or RT signals, the following characters are used.  
• The display cannot differentiate upper case and lower case letters and always uses upper case letters.  
• The display cannot show accented letters, “A”, for instance, may stand for accented “A’s” like “Å, Ä,  
Ã, Á, À, and Â.”

Using the Surround Processor  
The built-in surround processor provides three types of surround programs — Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby 3-  
Channel Logic, and JVC’s Hall Surround.  
What is surround?  
The sound heard in a concert hall or a movie theater consists of direct sound and indirect sound: early  
reflectionsandreflectionsfrombehind.Thereflectedsoundsarealwaysdelayedbythedistancesoftheceiling  
and walls from the listener. These reflections are some of the most important elements of the acoustic  
surround.  
On JVC’s Hall Surround  
Inordertoreproduceamorerealisticsoundfieldinyourlistening
