Getting Started  
Putting Batteries in the Remote Control  
Before Installation  
General Precautions  
• DO NOT insert any metal object into the unit.  
• DO NOT disassemble the unit or remove screws, covers, or  
cabinet.  
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 unit.  
1 On the back of the remote control, remove the  
• DO NOT expose the unit to rain or moisture.  
battery cover.  
Locations  
• Install the unit in a location that is level and protected from  
moisture.  
• The temperature around the unit must be between –5˚C and 35˚C  
(23˚F and 95˚F).  
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the unit. Poor  
ventilation could cause overheating and damage the unit.  
Handling the unit  
• 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.  
2 Insert batteries.  
• Make sure to match the polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).  
• Keep the power cord away from the connecting cords and the  
antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. It  
is recommended to use a coaxial cable for antenna connection,  
since it is well-shielded against interference.  
• When a power failure occurs, or when you unplug the power cord,  
the preset settings such as preset FM/AM channels and sound  
adjustments may be erased in a few days.  
Checking the Supplied Accessories  
Check to be sure you have all of the following supplied accessories.  
The number in the parentheses indicates the quantity of the pieces  
supplied.  
3 Replace the cover.  
• Remote Control (1)  
• Batteries (2)  
• AM Loop Antenna (1)  
• FM Antenna (1)  
If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.  
If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace  
the batteries. Use two R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell batteries.  
CAUTION:  
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.

AM antenna connection  
Connect the supplied AM loop antenna to the AM LOOP  
terminals.  
Turn the loop until you have the best reception.  
• If the reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinyl-  
covered wire (not supplied) to the AM EXT terminal. (Keep the  
AM loop antenna connected.)  
FM antenna connection  
Notes:  
• If the AM loop antenna wire is covered with vinyl,  
remove the vinyl while twisting it as shown on the  
right.  
• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any  
other terminals, connecting cords and power cord.  
This could cause poor reception.  
Connect the supplied FM antenna to the FM 75 Ω COAXIAL  
terminal as a temporary measure.  
Extend the supplied FM antenna horizontally.  
• If the reception is poor, connect an outdoor FM antenna (not  
supplied). Before attaching a 75 Ω coaxial cable (with a  
standard type connector), disconnect the supplied FM antenna.

Creating Realistic Sound Fields  
You can use the following Surround modes to reproduce a realistic  
sound field:  
Dolby Digital*  
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 9.)

I All Channel Stereo  
Dolby Digital 5.1 ch encoding method (so-called discrete  
multichannel digital audio format) records and digitally compresses  
the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left rear  
channel, right rear channel, and LFE channel signals.  
Since each channel is completely independent from the other  
channel signals to avoid interference, you can obtain much better  
sound quality with much stereo and surround effect.  
I Dolby Surround  
Dolby Pro Logic II*  
Dolby Pro Logic II has a newly developed multichannel playback  
format to decode all 2 channel sources—stereo source and Dolby  
Surround encoded source—into 5.1 channel.  
Matrix-based encoding/decoding method for Dolby Pro Logic II  
makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the rear treble and  
enables stereo rear sound compared to conventional Dolby Pro  
Logic.  
Note:  
Dolby Digital software can be roughly grouped into two categories  
—multichannel (up to “5.1” ch) and 2 channel software. To enjoy  
surround sounds while playing Dolby Digital 2 ch software, you can  
use Dolby Pro Logic II.  
Dolby Pro Logic II enables to reproduce spacious sound from  
original sound without adding any new sounds and tonal colorations.  
Dolby Pro Logic II has two modes—Movie mode and Music mode:  
I DTS Digital Surround**  
Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software  
encoded with DTS Digital Surround (

Pro Logic II Movie (PL II MOVIE)—suitable for reproduction of  
• To enjoy the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround,  
connect the source component using the digital terminal on the  
rear of this receiver. (See page 9.)  
DOLBY SURROUND  
Dolby Surround encoded sources bearing the mark  
.
You can enjoy soundfield very close to the one created with discrete  
5.1 channel sounds.  
Pro Logic II Music (PL II MUSIC)—suitable for reproduction of  
any 2 channel stereo music sources. You can enjoy wide and deep  
sound by using this mode. For this mode, Panorama control can be  
selected, which gives “wraparound” sound effect with side-wall  
image.  
DTS Digital Surround is another discrete multichannel digital  
audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software.  
Compared to Dolby Digital, audio compression ratio 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.  
• When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the  
PRO LOGIC II  
indicator lights up on the display.

Creating Realistic Sound Fields  
I DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes  
I All Channel Stereo  
DAP modes have been designed to create important acoustic  
surround elements.  
This mode can reproduce a larger stereo sound field using all the  
connected (and activated) speakers.  
The sound heard in a live club, dance club, hall or pavilion 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 (see the diagram below).  
These indirect sounds are important elements of the acoustic  
surround effects. The DAP mode can reproduce a realistic sound  
field by adding these indirect sounds.  
All Channel Stereo can be used when the front and rear  
speakers are connected to this receiver without respect to the  
center speaker connection.  
If the center speaker is connected and activated, the same phase of  
the front left and right signals are output through the center speaker.  
All Channel Stereo can be used while reproducing 2 channel stereo  
software, either analog or digital except Dolby Digital and DTS  
Digital Surround.  
DAP modes can be used when the front and rear speakers are  
connected to this receiver (without respect to the center speaker  
connection: no sound comes out of the center speaker even if it is  
connected).  
• When All Channel Stereo is selected, the DSP indicator lights up  
on the display.  
All Channel Stereo reproduction  
The following DAP modes are provided with this receiver:  
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.  
PAVILION  
: Gives the spacious feeling of a pavilion with a  
high ceiling.  
These DAP modes can be used to add the acoustic surround effects  
while reproducing 2 channel stereo software—either analog or  
digital except Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround—and can  
give you a real “being there” feeling.  
• When one of the DAP modes is selected, the DSP indicator lights  
up on the display.  
Sound reproduced from All Channel Stereo  
DVD MULTI Playback Mode  
Creating sound field  
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 speaker output levels 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’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-4 (SYNCHRO) jacks (see  
below) in addition to the connections using cables with RCA pin  
plugs (see pages 6 and 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 completed.  
Automatic Power On/Off (Standby): only possible with the  
COMPU LINK-3 and COMPU LINK-4  
Both the CD player and cassette deck (or CD recorder) turn on and  
off (standby) along with the receiver.  
When you turn on the receiver, the CD player or cassette deck (or  
CD 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 CD recorder) will turn off (standby).  
Synchronized Recording  
Synchronized recording means the cassette deck starts recording as  
soon as a CD begins playing.  
Cassette deck  
or  
CD recorder  
To use synchronized recording, follow these steps:  
1 Put a tape in the cassette deck and a disc in the  
COMPU LINK-4  
(SYNCHRO)  
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.  
CD player  
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.  
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.  
• To operate the cassette deck or CD recorder using the COMPU  
LINK remote control system, set the source name correctly.  
(See page 11.)  
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.  
• 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 34 and 35.  
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.
