determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that

Introduction
We would like to thank you for purchasing one of our JVC products.
Before operating this unit, read this manual carefully and thoroughly to obtain the best possible performance
from your unit, and retain this manual for future reference.
Features
Precautions
THX Ultra2 certified
Power sources
• When unplugging the receiver from the wall outlet, always pull
the plug, not the AC power cord.
• Do not handle the AC power cord with wet hands.
• If you are not going to operate the receiver for an extended period
of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.
The newly introduced THX Ultra2 standard ensures the highest
sound and picture quality and the most reliable performance by
using seven-channel amplification to reproduce multi-channel
software. In newly developed THX Ultra2 Cinema Mode and
THX Music Mode, all multi-channel software (5.1 channels or
more) is automatically detected and proper processing is applied
to improve directional and ambient surround information through
four surround speakers—two at the side and two at the back.
Multi-room operations
• Do not use the remote control outdoors or install the speakers
outdoors.
Compatible with various audio formats including
DTS 96/24
RX-DP20VBK allows you to enjoy newly introduced audio
formats such as Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS-ES,
DTS NEO:6, and DTS 96/24.
• When operating the receiver from a place where you cannot see
the receiver (for example, when controlling the receiver installed
in the living room from the kitchen), pay attention to the following
not to surprise other people:
– Be careful not to turn up the volume too high when controlling
the receiver without listening to the playback sound.
– Be careful not to surprise other people with a sudden sound
coming out of the receiver when turning it on. (Stopping the
sound suddenly may surprise people as well.)
• If the receiver operates by itself or malfunctions, the following
causes should be considered:
– Interference to RF communication between the receiver and the
remote control from outside.
– The remote control is operated unintentionally. For example, a
book is placed on the remote control, possibly, depressing some
of its buttons.
• If your neighbour uses the same or similar RF remote control
system, the receiver may happen to receive the RF signals sent
from such an RF remote control system, which could cause your
receiver to be operated unintentionally. If this happens, set the
BAND selectors both on the rear and on the remote control to
another band (either BAND 1 or BAND 2)—see page 17 for
details.
• This unit is also compatible with Dual Mono signals recorded in
Dolby Digital and DTS discs.
7.1 channel DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor)
Sound field simulation technology allows precise ambience
recreation of existing theaters and halls. Thanks to the high-
performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and high-capacity
memory, you can enjoy 7.1-channel surround by playing 2-
channel or multi-channel software.
Multi-channel headphone virtual surround
sound—3D HEADPHONE
The built-in headphone virtual surround system is compatible with
multi-channel software. You can enjoy a natural surround sound
through the headphones.
192 kHz/24 bit PEM DD audio DA converter
The JVC-exclusive converter is now upgraded to be fully
compatible with DVD Audio’s high specifications. Subtle nuances
are accurately reproduced.
If the problem still persists, stop using the RF rod antenna and the
remote control, and consult your JVC dealer or the nearest JVC
Service Center.
K2 Technology
K2 technology has been designed to enable natural audio
reproduction, achieving a drastic reduction in digital distortion
and creating original sound ambience with high precision.
Ventilation
The seven high power amplifiers built in this receiver will generate
heat inside the cabinet.
CC (Compensative Compression) Converter
CC Converter eliminates jitter and ripples, achieving a drastic
reduction in digital distortion by processing the digital music data
in 24 bit–quantization and by expanding the sampling frequency
to 128 kHz (for fs 32 kHz signals)/176.4 kHz (for fs 44.1 kHz
signals)/192 kHz (for fs 48 kHz signals). By using the CC
Converter, you can obtain a natural sound field from any source.
For safety, observe the following carefully:
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor
ventilation could overheat and damage the receiver.
• Do not block the ventilation openings or holes. (If the ventilation
openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the
heat may not be able to get out.)
Others
ZIST (Zero Interference audio Signal
Transmission) circuit
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall onto the unit, unplug the
unit and consult your dealer before operating any further.
• Do not use this receiver in a bathroom or places with water.
• Do not place any containers filled with water or liquids (such as
cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups, etc.) on
top of this receiver.
The ZIST circuit incorporated for the EXT 7.1 CH IN (input)
jacks successfully eliminates the video signal interference to the
audio signals by making the cold side of the audio signals
completely independent from the ground.
• Do not disassemble the unit since there are no user serviceable
parts inside.
Multi-room operations
You can connect two pairs of front speakers to the
RX-DP20VBK, and use them to listen to different sources in
different rooms (Zone 1 and Zone 2) at the same time.
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your
JVC dealer.
COMPU LINK/TEXT COMPU LINK/AV COMPU
LINK remote control systems
These COMPU LINK remote control systems allow you to
operate other JVC audio/video components from this receiver.

IMPORTANT:
External 7.1-channel
output component
This receiver is equipped with the following video jacks—composite
video, S-video and component video jacks. You can use any of the
three to connect a video component
Decoder
(or DVD player)
However, observe the following points when make connections:
• Composite video signals and S-video signals can be converted
into each other, and can be also converted into component
signals. So incoming signals of both types can be emitted through
all video output jacks. (If both signals are used, the unit
automatically gives priority to S-video signals.)
— Pictures may be distorted if the signals are converted. If this
happens, connect the playback source component and TV using
the cords of the same type.

The ZIST circuit (see page 1) is incorporated for the EXT 7.1CH IN jacks
to clarify the audio signals independently from the video input circuit.
However, if the external component connected to the EXT 7.1CH IN jacks
and this receiver are not connected using video cords (composite, S-
video, or component), noise may happen to be generated when listening
to this external component.
Video camera
The VIDEO input terminals on the front panel are convenient when
connecting and disconnecting the component frequently.
• When you do not use the VIDEO input terminals, attach the front
terminal cover (supplied) to these jacks to protect them from dust.

Notes:
Using the RF Rod Antenna and IR Signal
Transmitter
• The signal-reachable distance may differ depending on the
operating conditions and circumstances. To improve transmitting
conditions, change the distance to the receiver and the direction to
transmit while operating the remote control.
• To avoid a failure in the reception from the remote control, keep the
connecting cables and the IR signal transmitter’s cable away from
the RF rod antenna.
• If your neighbour uses the same or similar RF remote control
system, the receiver may happen to receive the RF signals sent
from such an RF remote control system, which could cause your
receiver to be operated unintentionally. If this happens, set the
BAND 1/2 selectors (both on the rear and on the remote control) to
another band (either BAND 1 or BAND 2).
The combination of the RF rod antenna and the IR signal transmitter
allows you to use the multi-room function more conveniently.
The remote control supplied for this receiver can transmit both RF
signal and IR signal at the same time. This receiver catches the RF
signals emitted from the remote control, and converts them into IR
signals, then transmits the converted signals to the remote sensor on
the other components through the IR signal transmitter.
This means that you can control not only this receiver but also other
components from Zone 2.

If the problem still persists, stop using the RF rod antenna and the
remote control, and consult your JVC dealer or the nearest JVC
Service Center.
Rear view
The remote control supplied for this receiver can transmit both RF
(Radio Frequency) signals as well as IR (infrared) signals. The RF
rod antenna can receive the RF signals emitted from the remote
control. So, with the RF rod antenna connected, you can operate the
receiver at a distance of up to 15 m (50 feet) using RF signals sent
from this receiver (more than twice as far as when using IR signals).
Moreover, RF signals can go through walls and other objects in the
house so you need not aim at the receiver directly.
However, if the antenna cannot receive signals stably, you cannot
operate the receiver correctly.
• Without the RF rod antenna connected, you can operate the
receiver with the remote control, aiming the remote control
directly at the remote sensor on the receiver.
Setting Up the IR Signal Transmitter
The IR signal transmitter can retransmit the IR signals.
It allows you to use the AV COMPU LINK system, and to operate
other manufacturers’ components without aiming the remote control
directly at the remote sensor on the target components. In addition,
the IR signal transmitter reduces the possibility of malfunction.
• The IR signal transmitter may not operate the target components
depending on the operating conditions and circumstances—
including the aiming angle and direction of the IR signal
transmitter at the remote sensors of the target components. If
this occurs, changing its aiming angle and direction at the
remote sensors may solve the problem.

Notes:
Connecting the Power Cord
• If you aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the
receiver, you can operate the receiver at a distance of up to 7 m
(23 feet).
• When replacing the batteries, finish changing them without delay;
otherwise, the stored signals are all erased (see pages 74 to 80).
Before plugging the receiver into an AC outlet, make sure that all
connections have been made.
Connect one end of the power cord to the
AC IN socket on
the rear (1) and the other end into an AC outlet (2) .

CAUTIONS:
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.
Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables and the
antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference.
• Always replace both batteries at the same time.
• Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.
Note:
The preset settings such as preset channels and sound adjustment
may be erased in a few days in the following cases:
– 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 cord.
When unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to
damage the cord.

About Dual Mono
Dual Mono can be easily understood when you think of the
bilingual broadcast or the MTS (Multi-channel TV Sound) used
for some TV programs (however, the Dual Mono format is not
identical with those analog formats).
From the remote control:
VOLUME
To increase the volume, press VOLUME +.
To decrease the volume, press VOLUME –.
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.
CAUTIONS:
• Always set the volume to the minimum before starting any source. If
the volume is set at a high level, the sudden blast of sound energy
can permanently damage your hearing and/or ruin your speakers.
• Be careful not to turn up the volume too high when controlling the
receiver without listening to the playback sound. For example, when
adjusting the volume level in Zone 2 from Zone 1.
• When Dual Mono signals are detected, the
DUAL indicator lights up.
You can select either channel you want to

Notes:
• The volume level can be adjusted within the range of “– – – dB”
(minimum), “–71.0 dB” to “+18.0 dB” (maximum).
• If you set One Touch Operation to “ON” (see page 44), you do not
have to adjust the volume level each time you change the source. It
is automatically set to the stored level. (However, if you have turned
off the receiver with the volume level set at more than level “–35
dB,” the volume level will be automatically set at level “–35 dB” next
time you turn on the receiver.)

and ripples, achieving a drastic reduction in digital distortion by
processing the digital music data in 24 bit quantization and by
expanding the sampling frequency to 128 kHz (for fs 32 kHz)/
176.4 kHz (for fs 44.1 kHz signals)/192 kHz (for fs 48 kHz signals).
By using the CC Converter, you can obtain a natural sound field
from both digital and analog sources.
Press DIMMER.

control system (see pages 61 and 63) to operate the MD
recorder.
For digital-to-digital recording
You can record the currently selected digital input source
through the receiver to a digital recording device connected to
the DIGITAL OUT terminal.
Notes:
• Analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog recordings are not
possible.
• No sound adjustments can affect the recording.

2 is turned off, Zone 2 is turned on with the audio source
selected.
• Always set the volume to the minimum before starting any source. If
the volume is set at a high level, the sudden blast of sound energy
can permanently damage your hearing and/or ruin your speakers.
• Be careful not to turn up the volume too high when controlling the
receiver without listening to the playback sound. For example, when
adjusting the volume level in Zone 2 from Zone 1.
Notes:
• The volume level can be adjusted within the range of “– – – dB”
(minimum) “–71.0 dB” to “+18.0 dB” (maximum).
• With “ZONE2PREOUT” set to “VARIABLE” (see page 43), no
sounds come out of the ZONE 2 PREOUT jacks if the volume level
is set to “– – – dB.” In this case, increasing the volume level will
enable the sound output through the ZONE 2 PREOUT jacks.
• You cannot select the following as a Zone 2 source:
– “TV,” “DVD MULTI,” and “EXT 7.1CH”
– Any digital input
You can only select the analog input as the Zone 2 source. (If
analog connections have not been made, no sound comes out of
the Zone 2 speakers.)

7 BASS PEAK LIMIT
5 Setting the THX Audio—THX AUDIO SETUP
When this setting is “ON,” Bass Peak Limit functions so that
sounds exceeding the preset peak level (see below) will be cut
off.
These settings are required to
obtain the optimum effect from
the THX modes.
When this setting is “ON,” you can set the bass peak level using
the bass test tone (see below) to eliminate bass sound distortion.
Select one of the following:
ON
: Normally select this.
Note:
OFF
: Select when not using Bass Peak Limit.
When “SUBWOOFER” is set to “NO” on the SPEAKER SETTING
submenu (see page 38), this submenu is not available in the following
cases:
– If and “SURR BACK SP” is also set to “NONE,” or
– If “SURR BACK OUT” is also set to “1SPK.”
Note:
If “THX ULTRA2 SUBWOOFER?” is set to “YES,” this function is
not available.
7 THX ULTRA2 SUBWOOFER?
7 BASS TEST TONE
A THX Ultra2 certified subwoofer can reproduce very low bass
sounds (up to 20 Hz) and, if it is used at home, the subwoofer
sounds may be reinforced unsuitably because of resonance and
reflection caused by the floor and walls (boundary gain).
Using this function, you can compensate for this over-enhanced
bass sound through the subwoofer.
Only when “BASS PEAK LIMIT” is “ON,” you can emit the
bass test tone through the subwoofer and/or other speakers
(depending on your settings on the SPEAKER SETTING
submenu), and adjust the bass peak level (see below).
• The bass test tone can be emitted when one of the Surround/
THX/DSP modes is in use.
Select one of the following.
Select one of the following:
YES
NO
: Select when a THX Ultra2 subwoofer is used.
: Select when a conventional subwoofer is used.
ON
: Select to emit the bass test tone.
: Select to stop the bass test tone.
OFF
Notes:
7 BOUNDARY GAIN COMPENSATION
• If “BASS PEAK LIMIT” is set to “OFF,” this function is not
available.
• While transmitting the bass test tone, Parametric Equalizer and
Midnight Mode will be canceled temporarily.
When the subwoofer sounds are unsuitably enhanced by so-
called boundary gain, compensate for it using this function.
Select one of the following:
ON
: Select to apply the compensation.
7 BASS PEAK LVL
OFF
: Select when no compensation is required.
Only when “BASS PEAK LIMIT” is “ON,” you can set the bass
peak level so that sounds exceeding the peak level will be cut off
to prevent the bass sound distortion.
Note:
If “THX ULTRA2 SUBWOOFER?” is set to “NO,” this function is
not available.
Adjust the bass peak level as follows:
• While listening to the bass test tone, press and hold # (RIGHT)
to increase the bass test tone output level, and stop increasing
the level just before the test tone is distorted. The level where
you stop can be memorized as the bass peak level.
• Each time you press # (RIGHT) or @ (LEFT), the bass peak
level changes by 1 dB.
• You can adjust the level within the range of “– – – dB
(minimum),” and “–71 dB” to +18 dB.” When shipped from
the factory, the level is set at “–10 dB.”
7 SBACK SP POSITION
Register the installation position of the surround back
speakers—whether they are placed close to each other or apart
from each other.
This setting takes effect only for the THX modes:
APART
CLOSE
: Select when two surround back speakers are
placed apart from each other (more than 120
cm)—recommended for THX Ultra2 Cinema
and THX Music modes.
Notes:

is reset to “– – – dB” (minimum).
• If “THX ULTRA2 SUBWOOFER?” is set to “YES,” this function
is not available.

Using the Surround and THX Modes
This unit activates a variety of Surround and THX modes automatically. The stored basic settings and adjustments
performed on the Setup and Adjustment Menus (see pages 35 to 50) are applied.
•
The following operations are only possible when the receiver is ready for Zone 1 operations, and are used only
for Zone 1 sources.
Reproducing Theater Ambience
Introducing the Surround and THX Modes
Home THX*1
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.
Home THX Audio Systems, developed by THX Ltd., has become
the world’s standard for film enjoyment in the home. It is one of the
multi-channel home entertainment systems to reproduce all multi-
channel sources accurately in the home.
In newly developed THX Ultra2 Cinema Mode or THX Music
Mode, all multi-channel software (5.1 channels or more) is
automatically detected and proper processing is applied to improve
directional and ambient surround information through four surround
speakers—two at the side and two at the back.
Surround modes built in this receiver can create almost the same
surround sounds as you can feel in a real movie theater—with only
five or seven speakers (plus subwoofer).
• This receiver provides four types of THX modes—THX Ultra2
Cinema (THX U2 CINEMA), THX Music (THX MUSIC), THX
Surround EX (THX SURR EX), THX Cinema (THX CINEMA).
When any one of the THX modes is activated, the
lights up on the display.
indicator
THX Ultra2 Cinema : Best for playing any 5.1-channel encoded
movie software, this mode can stabilize the
sound localization and enlarge the sound
field. (Only selectable with a pair of
surround back speakers.)
THX Music
: Best for playing any 5.1-channel encoded
music software. (Only selectable with a
pair of surround back speakers.)
THX Surround EX : Best for playing Dolby Digital EX encoded
software. (Only selectable with one or a
pair of surround back speakers.)
THX Cinema
: To reproduce the sound through all
activated speakers except surround back
speakers. (When THX Cinema is applied to
Neo: 6 Cinema, sounds can also be emitted
from the surround back speakers.)
• THX modes can be also applied to any source together with
another Surround mode.
Dolby Digital*2
Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed by
Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and
decoding (1ch up to 5.1ch).
• When a Dolby Digital signal is detected through the digital input,
DIGITAL
the
indicator lights up on the display.
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.
Note:
When the ZONE 2 speaker indicator is lit on the display, you
cannot use the THX modes and Surround modes requiring the
surround back speakers.
– You can only use those modes which do not require the
surround back speakers.

Dolby Digital EX
DTS Extended Surround (DTS-ES)
Dolby Digital EX (DOLBY D EX) is a new digital surround
encoding format that adds the third surround channels, called
“surround back.”
Compared to the conventional Dolby Digital 5.1CH, the newly
added surround back channel can reproduce more detailed
movements behind you while viewing the video software. In
addition, surround sound localization will become more stable.
DTS-ES is another new multi-channel digital encoding format.
It greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and space
expression by adding the third surround channel—surround back
channel.
DTS-ES includes two signal formats with different surround signal
recording methods—DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch (DTS-ES DSCRT)
and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1ch (DTS-ES MATRIX).
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch has been designed to encode (and decode) a
6.1-channel signal discretely to avoid interference with each
channel.
DTS-ES Matrix 6.1ch has been designed to add an extra surround
channel to DTS Digital Surround 5.1-channel. By using a matrix
encoding/decoding method, an additional “surround back” channel
signal is encoded (and decoded) in both the left and right surround
channel signals.
Dolby Pro Logic
Dolby Surround encoding format records the left front channel,
right front channel, center channel, and surround channel
(monaural) signals into 2 channels.
The Dolby Pro Logic (PRO LOGIC) built in this receiver decodes
these 2 channel signals into 4 original channel signals (plus
subwoofer)—matrix-based multi-channel reproduction.
• When Dolby Pro Logic is activated, the
on the display.
indicator lights up
DTS 96/24
• THX Cinema can be applied together with Pro Logic when an
analog or digital 2-channel software is played back.
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.
Dolby Pro Logic II
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.
• When DTS 96/24 signals are detected, the 96/24 indicator lights
up. You can enjoy its 5.1-channel sound with full-quality.
Dolby Pro Logic II has a newly developed 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).
DTS Neo:6
DTS Neo:6 is a newly developed conversion method to create
6-channel (plus subwoofer) from analog/digital 2-channel software
and DTS Digital Surround software by using the high precision
digital matrix decoder used for DTS-ES Matrix 6.1ch.
• This receiver provides two types of DTS Neo:6 modes—Neo:6
Cinema (NEO:6 CINEMA) and Neo:6 Music (NEO:6 MUSIC).
When either Neo:6 mode is activated, the Neo:6 indicator lights
up on the display.
When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the
lights up on the display.
indicator
Pro Logic II Movie : Suitable for playing any Dolby Surround
encoded software. You can enjoy a sound
field very close to the one created with
discrete 5.1-channel sounds.
Pro Logic II Music : Suitable for playing any 2-channel stereo
software. You can enjoy wide and deep
sounds.
Neo:6 Cinema :Suitable for playing movies. You can get the same
atmosphere with 2-channel software as with 6.1-
channel software. It is also effective for playing
software encoded with conventional surround
formats.
• THX Cinema can be applied together with Pro Logic II Movie
when an analog or digital 2-channel software is played back.
Neo:6 Music :Suitable for playing music software. The front
channel signals bypass the decoder (resulting in no
loss of sound quality) and the surround signals
transmitted through the other speakers expand the
sound field naturally.
DTS*3
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).
• THX Cinema can be applied together with Neo:6 Cinema when an
analog or digital 2-channel software is played back.
• When a DTS signal is detected through the digital input,
the
indicator lights up on the display.
DTS Digital Surround
About Dual Mono
This format is now adopted in Dolby Digital, DTS, and so on.
When Dual Mono signals are detected, “DUAL MONO”
appears, and the DUAL indicator lights up on the display.
• See page 24 for more details.
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.
• When 7.1-channel reproduction mode (EX/ES/7.1) is set to
“ON,” DTS Neo:6 (DTS NEO:6) is applied while playing back
multi-channel DTS software. It creates the same surround
ambience as playing 6.1-channel software.

Using the DSP Modes
This unit provides a variety of DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes. The stored basic settings and adjustments
performed on the Setup and Adjustment Menus (see pages 35 to 50) are applied.
•
The following operations are only possible when the receiver is ready for Zone 1 operations, and are used only
for the Zone 1 sources.
To use the DSP modes, press DSP so that the DSP modes change as
follows.
Reproducing the Sound Field
The DSP indicator also lights up on the display.
The sound heard in a concert hall, club, etc. 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.
The DSP modes can create these important elements, and give you a
real “being there” feeling.

COMPU LINK Remote Control System
The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate JVC audio components through this 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 page 11).
• 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.
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 created by adding 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 CD
recorder or CD player on the left column.)
• To operate the cassette deck or MD recorder using the COMPU
LINK remote control system, set the source name correctly. (See
page 27.)
