AM  
EXT  
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.  
A. Using the Supplied FM Antenna  
The FM antenna provided can be connected to the FM 75 Ω  
COAXIAL terminal as temporary measure.  
• Remote Control (1)  
B. Using the Standard Type Connector (Not Supplied)  
A standard type connector should be connected to the FM 75 Ω  
COAXIAL terminal.  
• Batteries (2)  
• AM Loop Antenna (1)  
• FM Antenna (1)  
Note:  
If reception is poor, connect the outdoor antenna.  
Before attaching a 75 Ω coaxial cable (the kind with a round wire  
going to an outdoor antenna), disconnect the supplied FM antenna.  
If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.

Notes:  
• If the AM loop antenna wire is covered with vinyl,  
remove the vinyl by twisting it as shown in the diagram.  
• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any  
other terminals, connecting cords and power cord. This could  
cause poor reception.  
• If reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinyl-covered wire to  
the AM EXT terminal. (Keep the AM loop antenna connected.)

About the speaker impedance  
Connecting the subwoofer speaker  
The required speaker impedance of the front speakers does differ  
depending on whether both the FRONT SPEAKERS 1 and FRONT  
SPEAKERS 2 terminals are used or only one of them is used.  
You can enhance the bass by connecting a subwoofer.  
Connect the input jack of a powered subwoofer to the  
SUBWOOFER OUT jack on the rear panel, using a cable with RCA  
pin plugs (not supplied).

This receiver is equipped with both the composite video and S-video  
input/output terminals for connecting video components.  
You do not have to connect both the composite video and S-video  
terminals.  
VCR

Cassette deck  
However, remember that the video signals from the composite  
video input terminals are output only through the composite  
video output terminals, while the ones from the S-video input  
terminals are output only through the S-video output terminals.  
Therefore, if a recording video component and a playing video  
component are connected to the receiver through the different video  
terminals, you cannot record the picture from the playing component  
on the recording component. In addition, if the TV and a playing video  
component are connected to the receiver through the different video  
terminals, you cannot view the playback picture from the playing  
component on the TV.

Using the DSP Modes  
The built-in Surround Processor provides two types of the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) mode — Surround mode and  
DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) mode.  
JVC Theater Surround  
What are the DSP Modes?  
In order to reproduce a more realistic sound field in your listening  
Surround modes  
room while playing soundtracks of software encoded with Dolby  
Surround (bearing the mark  
Theater Surround.  
), you can use JVC  
DOLBY SURROUND  
With this receiver, you can use three types of the Surround mode.  
Following modes cannot be used when only the front speakers  
are connected to this receiver (without the rear speakers or  
center speaker).  
Dolby Surround (Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic)*  
Used to watch the soundtracks of software encoded with Dolby  
Digital (bearing the mark  
) or with Dolby Surround  
D
I
G

T
L
(bearing the mark  
A).  
DOLBY SURROUND  
Dolby Surround encoding format records the left front channel, right  
front channel, center channel, and rear channel (total 4 channels)  
signals into 2 channels. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built in this  
receiver decodes these 2 channel signals into original 4 channel  
signals — matrix-based multichannel reproduction, and allows you  
to enjoy the realistic stereo sounds in your listening room.  
On the other hand, Dolby Digital encoding method (so called  
discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format) records and compresses  
the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left rear  
channel, right rear channel, and LFE channel (total 6 channels, but  
LFE channel is counted as 0.1 channel, therefore called 5.1  
channels) signals digitally. Each channel is completely independent  
from other channel signals to avoid interference, therefore, you can  
obtain much better sound quality with much stereo and surround  
effects.  
Notes:  
• The DSP modes have no effect on monaural sources.  
• When you select “DVD MULTI” as the source to play, you cannot  
select or adjust the DSP modes.  
• The PRO LOGIC indicator lights up when the Dolby Pro Logic  
decoder built in this receiver is activated.  
The Dolby Digital decoder built in this receiver can create much  
more realistic sound field in your listening room. You may feel as if  
you were in a real theater.  
In addition, Dolby Digital enables stereo rear sounds, and sets the  
cutoff frequency of the rear treble at 20 kHz, compared to 7 kHz for  
Dolby Pro Logic. These facts enhance the sound movement and  
being-there feelings much more than Dolby Pro Logic.  
• To enjoy the software encoded with Dolby Digital, you must  
connect the source component using the digital terminal on the  
rear of this receiver. (See page 8.)  
DTS Digital Surround**  
DTS Digital Surround is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio  
format available on CD, LD, and DVD software.  
Compared to Dolby Digital, audio compression rate is relatively low.  
This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format to add breadth and  
depth to the reproduced sounds. As a result, DTS Digital Surround  
features natural, solid and clear sound.  
• To enjoy the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround, you  
must connect the source component using the digital terminal on  
the rear of this receiver. (See page 8.)

DAP modes  
Reproducing the Sound Field  
In order to reproduce a more acoustic sound field in your listening  
room while playing soundtracks of stereo sources, you can use DAP  
modes. This mode can be used when the front speakers are  
connected to this receiver (without respect to the rear/center  
speaker connection).  
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 direct sounds and indirect sounds are the  
most important elements of the acoustic surround effects.  
You can select one of the following to your preference.  
JVC Theater Surround and DAP modes can create these important  
elements, and give you a real “being there” feeling.  
LIVE CLUB: Gives the feeling of a live music club with a low  
ceiling.  
DANCE CLUB: Gives a throbbing bass beat.  
HALL:  
Gives clear vocal and the feeling of a concert hall.  
Reflections from  
behind  
PAVILION:  
Gives the spacious feeling of a pavilion with a high  
ceiling.  
Early reflections  
DVD MULTI Playback Mode  
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.

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 (SYNCHRO) jacks (see  
below) in addition to the connections using cables with RCA pin  
plugs (see pages 5 and 6).  
• 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 Power On/Off (Standby): only possible  
with the COMPU LINK-3 and COMPU LINK--4  
connection  
The connected components turn on and off (standby) along with the  
receiver.  
When you turn on the receiver, one of the connected component 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).  
CD player  
Synchronized Recording  
Synchronized recording means the cassette deck starts recording as  
soon as a CD or a record begins playing.  
Cassette deck  
or  
CD recorder  
To use synchronized recording, follow these steps:  
COMPU LINK-4  
(SYNCHRO)  
1. Put a tape in the cassette deck, 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 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.  
Turntable  
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 starts recording. When the play ends, the  
cassette deck enters recording pause, and stops about 4 seconds  
later.  
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. (For example, the  
turntable or CD player in the diagram above.)  
Notes:  
• During synchronized recording, the selected source cannot be  
changed.  
• 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 operate the cassette deck or CD recorder using the COMPU  
LINK remote control system, set the source name correctly. (See  
page 13.)  
• 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 31 and 32.  
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.
