SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”  
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care  
must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.  
Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.  
Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment)  
are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or  
changing connections.  
Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.  
Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.  
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way—switch  
off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.  
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.  
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation  
or has a standby mode.  
Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this.  
Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.  
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal  
to watch television whilst driving.  
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing.  
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.  
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.  
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws—to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s approved  
stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.  
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.  
ABOVE ALL  
— NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case—this could result in  
a fatal electrical shock.;  
— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind—it is better to be safe than sorry!

of the remote control.  
2 Insert batteries.  
General precautions  
• 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.  
Make sure to match the polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).  
3 Replace the cover.  
If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases,  
replace the batteries. Use two R6(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell  
batteries.  
Locations  
• Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from  
moisture and dust.  
• Supplied butteries are for initial setup. Replace for continued  
use.  
• The temperature around the receiver must be between –5˚C  
and 35˚C.  
CAUTION:  
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor  
ventilation could cause overheating and damage the receiver.  
• Leave sufficient distance between the receiver and the TV.  
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.  
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.  
• 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.  
• When you are away on travel or otherwise for an extended  
period or time, remove the plug from the wall outlet. A small  
amount of power is always consumed while the power cord is  
connected to the wall outlet.  
When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at  
the remote sensor on the front panel.  
Remote sensor  
The receiver has a built-in cooling fan which operates  
while the receiver is turned on. Be sure to leave enough  
ventilation to obtain sufficient cooling effect.

Setting the virtual surround back speaker  
—VIRTUAL SURROUND BACK  
You can enjoy the surround back channel while playing back  
Dolby Digital Surround EX software or DTS-ES software without  
the surround back speaker—Virtual Surround Back. This function  
creates the great surround effect from the behind as if you have  
connected the surround back speaker.  
The distance from your listening point to the speakers is one of  
the important elements to obtain the best possible sound effect  
from the Surround/DSP modes.  
By referring to the speaker distance, the receiver automatically  
sets the delay time of the sound through each speaker so that  
sounds through all the speakers can reach you at the same time.  
• If you have used Smart Surround Setup on pages 16 and 17,  
this setting is not required.  
Select “VIRTUAL SB: ON” when activating the Virtual Surround

Introducing the Surround modes  
■ Dolby Digital*  
Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed by  
Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and  
decoding.  
Creating realistic  
sound fields  
• When Dolby Digital signal is detected through the digital input,  
the DOLBY D indicator lights up on the display.  
Dolby Digital 5.1CH  
Dolby Digital 5.1CH (DOLBY D) 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.  
Reproducing theatre ambience  
In a movie theatre, many speakers are located on the walls to  
reproduce impressive multi-channel sound, reaching you from all  
directions.  
With these many speakers, sound localization and sound  
movement can be expressed.  
Surround/DSP modes built in this receiver can create almost the  
same Surround sound as you can feel in a real movie theatre.  
Another digital surround encoding format introduced by Dolby  
Laboratories is Dolby Digital EX, which adds the third surround  
channels, called “surround back.”  
Compared to the conventional Dolby Digital 5.1CH, these newly  
added surround back channels can reproduce more detailed  
movements behind you while viewing the video software. In  
addition, surround sound localization will become more stable.  
• You can use Virtual Surround Back (see page 22) when playing  
back Dolby Digital Surround EX software. This function creates  
the great surround effect from the behind as if you have  
connected the surround back speaker. The VIRTUAL SB  
indicator lights up on the display.

DTS 96/24  
■ Dolby Surround  
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.  
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 signal is detected, the DTS and 96/24  
indicators light up.You can enjoy its 5.1-channel sound with full-  
quality.  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
Dolby Pro Logic II is a 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).  
When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the

to the one created with discrete 5.1-channel  
sounds.  
Systems, Inc.  
When using Surround mode, the sounds come out of the  
activated speakers which the Surround mode requires.  
Suitable for playing any 2-channel stereo  
software.You can enjoy wide and deep sounds.  
• If either the surround speakers or center speaker is set to  
“NO” in the speaker setting (see page 21), the corresponding  
channel signals are allocated to and emitted through the front  
speakers.  
• If both the surround speakers and center speaker are set to  
“NO” in the speaker setting (see page 21), JVC’s original 3D-  
PHONIC processing (which has been developed to create the  
surround effect through the front speakers only) is used. The 3D  
indicator lights up on the display.  
• To enjoy software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the  
source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this  
receiver. (See page 11.)

3D HEADPHONE mode  
If you connect a pair of headphones while one of the Surround  
modes is in use, the 3D HEADPHONE mode is activated  
without respect to the type of software played back.  
“3DHEADPHONE” appears on the display and the DSP, 3D,  
and HP indicators light up.  
■ DTS**  
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).  
• When DTS signal is detected through the digital input, the DTS  
indicator lights up on the display.  
About other digital signals  
DTS Digital Surround  
Linear PCM  
DTS Digital Surround (DTS) 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.  
Uncompressed digital audio data used for DVDs, CDs, and  
Video CDs.  
DVDs support 2 channels with sampling rates of 48/96 kHz, at  
quantization of 16/20/24 bits. On the other hand, CDs and  
Video CDs are limited to 2 channels with 44.1 kHz at 16 bits.  
• When Linear PCM signal is detected, the LPCM indicator  
lights up.  
Another multi-channel digital surround encoding format introduced  
by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. is DTS Extended Surround  
(DTS-ES).  
Dual Mono  
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 and DTS-ES Matrix  
6.1ch.  
Dual Mono can be easily understood when you think of the  
bilingual broadcast for TV programs (however, the Dual Mono  
format is not identical with those analogue formats).  
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.  
• You can use the Virtual Surround Back (see page 22) when  
playing back DTS-ES software. This function creates the great  
surround effect from the behind as if you have connected the  
surround back speaker. The VIRTUAL SB indicator lights up on  
the display.  
• You can select either channel you want to listen to (see  
page 22).

■ Digital Acoustic Processor (DAP) modes  
You can use the following DAP modes in order to reproduce a  
more acoustic sound field in your listening room.  
Introducing the DSP modes  
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.  
HALL1  
Reproduces the spatial feeling of a large  
shoebox-shaped hall designed primarily for  
classical concerts. (Its seating capacity is about  
2000.)  
HALL2  
Reproduces the spatial feeling of a large  
vineyard-shaped hall designed primarily for  
classical concerts. (Its seating capacity is about  
2000.)  
The DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes can create these  
important elements, and give you a real “being there” feeling.  
Reflections from behind  
Early reflections  
LIVE CLUB  
Reproduces the spatial feeling of a live music club  
with a low ceiling.  
DANCE CLUB Reproduces the spatial feeling of a rocking dance  
club.  
PAVILION

NOTE  
The DSP modes include the following modes:  
• Digital Acoustic Processor (DAP) modes—HALL1, HALL2, LIVE  
CLUB, DANCE CLUB, PAVILION, THEATRE1, THEATRE2  
• MONO FILM—Used for all types of 2-channel signals (including  
Dual Mono signal)  
When “THEATRE1” or “THEATRE2” is activated while playing  
back 2-channel analogue or digital source, the built-in Dolby Pro  
Logic II decoder is activated and the  
indicator lights up.  
When using the DAP mode, the sounds come out of all the  
connected and activated speakers.  
• All Channel Stereo mode (ALL CH ST)  
When one of the DSP modes is activated, the DSP indicator lights  
up on the display.  
• If the surround speakers are set to “NO” in the speaker  
setting (see page 21), JVC’s original 3D-PHONIC processing  
(which has been developed to create the surround effect  
through the front speakers only) is used.
