the important elements to obtain the best possible sound effect  
from the Surround/DSP modes.  
Setting bass sound  
Setting subwoofer outputSUBWFR OUT  
You can select the type of the signal which can be transmitted  
through the subwoofer. In other words, you can determine  
whether or not the bass elements of the front speaker channels  
are transmitted through the subwoofer regardless of the front  
speaker size setting (either SMLor LRG).  
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.

Introducing the Surround modes  
I Dolby Digital*  
Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed by  
Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and  
decoding (1ch up to 5.1ch).  
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 theater ambience  
In a movie theater, many speakers are located on the walls to  
reproduce impressive multi-surround 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 theater.  
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 18) 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.  
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

When using Surround mode, the sounds come out of the  
activated speakers which the Surround mode requires.  
I 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.  
If either the surround speakers or center speaker is set to  
NOin the speaker setting (see page 16), the corresponding  
channel signals are allocated to and emitted through the front  
speakers.  
If both the surround speakers and center speaker are set to  
NOin the speaker setting (see page 16), JVCs 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.  
DTS Digital Surround  
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.  
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.  
3DHEADPHONEappears on the display and the DSP, 3D,  
and HP indicators light up.  
Another multi-channel digital surround encoding format introduced  
by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. is DTS Extended Surround  
(DTS-ES).  
It greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and  
space expression by adding the third surround channelsurround  
back channel.  
DTS-ES includes two signal formats with different surround signal  
recording methodsDTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch and DTS-ES Matrix  
6.1ch.  
You can use the Virtual Surround Back (see page 18) 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.  
About other digital signals  
Linear PCM  
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.  
DTS 96/24  
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 qualityinto 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.  
Dual Mono  
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 analog 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 select either channel you want to listen to (see  
page 18).

When using the DAP mode, the sounds come out of all the  
connected and activated speakers.  
Introducing the DSP modes  
If the surround speakers are set to NOin the speaker  
setting (see page 16), JVCs original 3D-PHONIC processing  
(which has been developed to create the surround effect  
through the front speakers only) is used.  
The sound heard in a concert hall, club, etc. consists of direct  
sound and indirect soundearly 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 3D indicator lights up on the display.  
I MONO FILM  
The DSP modes can create these important elements, and give  
you a real being therefeeling.  
In order to reproduce a more acoustic sound field in your listening  
room while viewing monaural sound video software (analog and  
2-channel digital signals including Dual Mono signal), you can use  
this mode.  
The surround effect will be added, and the sound localization of  
actors words will be improved.  
Reflections from behind  
Early reflections  
This mode cannot be used for multi-channel digital signals.  
When MONO FILMis used, sounds come out of all the  
connected (and activated) speakers.  
If the surround speakers are set to NOin the speaker  
setting (see page 16), JVCs 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.  
If incoming signals change from 2-channel digital signal to  
another digital signal type, MONO FILMis canceled and an  
appropriate Surround mode is activated.  
Direct sounds  
The DSP modes include the following modes:  
Digital Acoustic Processor (DAP) modesHALL1, HALL2, LIVE  
CLUB, DANCE CLUB, PAVILION, THEATER1, THEATER2  
MONO FILMUsed for all types of 2-channel signals (including  
Dual Mono signal)
