along — function, use the audio  
signal attenuating cord supplied  
with this receiver. If not, sound  
may be distorted.  
IMPORTANT:  
This receiver is equipped with both the composite video and S-video input  
terminals for the DVD player connection.  
You do not have to connect both the composite video and S-video terminals.  
However, remember that the video signals from the composite video input  
terminal are output only through the composite video output terminals, while  
the ones from the S-video input terminal are output only through the S-video  
output terminal.  
Therefore, if your DVD player is connected to the receiver only through the S-  
video input terminal, you cannot record the picture from the DVD player on the  
VCR.  
In addition, if the TV and the DVD player are connected to the receiver through  
the different video terminals, you cannot view the playback picture from the DVD  
player on the TV.

•
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.  
Putting Batteries in the Remote Control  
Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries 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, remove the battery cover as illustrated.  
CAUTION:  
2. Insert batteries. Make sure to observe the proper polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to  
(–).  
Follow these precautions to  
avoid leaking or cracking cells:  
• Place batteries in the remote  
control so they match the  
polarity indicated: (+) to (+)  
and (–) to (–).  
3. Replace the cover.  
R03 (UM-4)/AAA (24F)  
• Use the correct type of  
batteries. Batteries that look  
similar may differ in voltage.  
• Always replace both batteries  
at the same time.

Using the DSP Modes  
The built-in Surround Processor provides three types of the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) mode — 3D-  
PHONIC mode, DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) mode and Surround mode (Dolby Pro Logic and Theater  
Surround.)  
On 3D-PHONIC mode  
Notes:  
The 3D-PHONIC mode gives you such a  
nearly surround effect as it is reproduced  
through the Dolby Surround decoder, which  
is widely used to reproduce sounds with a  
feeling of movement like those experienced  
in movie theaters. The 3D-PHONIC mode is  
the result of research on sound localization  
technology carried out at JVC for many  
years and makes it possible to reproduce the  
surround sound with only two front  
speakers.  
• The DSP modes has no effect  
on monaural sources.  
• You can not use the two types  
of the DSP modes at the same  
time.  
• The DSP modes cannot be  
used for recording.  
• When you select “DVD MULTI”  
as the source to play, you  
cannot select or adjust the  
DSP modes.  
IMPORTANT:  
Before recording, turn off the  
DVD MULTI playback mode.  
On the DAP mode  
The sound heard in a concert hall or club  
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

COMPU LINK Remote Control System  
The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate JVC audio components through the remote  
sensor on the receiver.  
To use this remote control system, you need to connect JVC audio components through  
the COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) jacks (see below) in addition to the connections  
using cables with RCA pin plugs (see page 14).  
Notes:  
• If your audio component has  
two COMPU LINK-3  
(SYNCHRO) jacks, you can  
use either one. If it has only  
one COMPU LINK-3  
•
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.  
COMPU LINK – 3  
(SYNCHRO)  
(SYNCHRO) jack, connect it  
so that it is the last item in the  
series of components. (For  
example, the turntable or CD  
player in the diagram to the  
left.)  
CD player  
Cassette deck  
Turntable  
or  
MD recorder  
• To operate the cassette deck  
or MD recorder using the  
COMPU LINK remote control  
system, set the source name  
correctly. (See page 23.)  
• Refer also to the manuals  
supplied with your audio  
components.  
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, see pages 62 and 63.  
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 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 connection  
Both the CD player and cassette deck (or MD recorder) turn on and off (standby) along  
with the receiver.  
When you turn on the receiver, the CD player or cassette deck (or MD recorder) will  
turn on automatically, depending on which component has been previously selected.  
When you turn off the receiver, both the CD player and cassette deck (or MD recorder)  
will turn off (standby).  
Notes:  
Synchronized Recording  
• During synchronized  
recording, the selected source  
cannot be changed.  
Synchronized recording means the cassette deck (or MD recorder) starts recording as  
soon as a CD or a record begins playing.  
• If your CD player is playing in  
program mode, a 4-second  
blank is recorded between  
tracks so that the music scan  
feature of your cassette deck  
can be used on the recorded  
tape.  
• 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.  
To use synchronized recording, follow these steps:  
1. Put a tape in the cassette deck (or an MD in the MD recorder), and a disc in the  
CD player (or a record on the turntable).  
2. Press the record () button and the pause (8) button on the cassette deck (or  
MD recorder) at the same time.  
This puts the cassette deck (or MD recorder) 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.  
3. Press the play (3) button on the CD player or on the turntable.  
The source changes on the receiver, and as soon as play starts, the cassette deck (or  
MD recorder) starts recording. When the play ends, the cassette deck (or MD  
recorder) enters recording pause, and stops about 4 seconds later.

TEXT COMPU LINK Remote Control System  
The TEXT COMPU LINK remote control system has been newly developed to deal with the disc information  
recorded in the CD Text* and MDs. Using these information in the discs, you can operate the CD player or  
MD recorder equipped with the TEXT COMPU LINK remote control system through the receiver.  
CONNECTIONS:  
*What is a CD Text?  
In a CD Text, some information  
about the disc (its disc title,  
performer, composer, arranger,  
etc.) is recorded.  
To use this remote control system, you need to connect the CD player and/or MD  
recorder you want to operate, following the procedures below.  
1. If you have already plugged your CD player, MD recorder, and this receiver  
into the AC outlets, unplug their AC power cords first.  
2. Connect your CD player, MD recorder, and this receiver as follows, through the  
COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) jacks and TEXT COMPU LINK jacks.  
Notes:  
• 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 CD player in the  
diagram to the left.)  
• If your audio component has  
two TEXT COMPU LINK  
jacks, you can use either one.  
If it has only one TEXT
