Getting Started  
This section explains how to connect stereo components and speakers to the amplifier, and how to connect  
the power supply.  
Before Installation  
General  
• 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.  
Locations  
• Install the amplifier in a location that is level and protected from moisture.  
• The temperature around the amplifier must be between –5˚ and 35˚ C (23˚ and 95˚ F).  
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the amplifier. Poor ventilation could cause overheating and  
damage the amplifier.  
Handling the amplifier  
• Do not insert any metal object into the amplifier.  
• Do not disassemble the amplifier or remove screws, covers, or cabinet.  
• Do not expose the amplifier to rain or moisture.  
Checking the Supplied Accessories  
Check to be sure you have all of the following items, which are supplied with the amplifier.  
The number in the parentheses indicates quantity of the pieces supplied.  
• Remote Control (1)  
• Batteries (2)  
If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.  
Page 3

Connecting the Speakers  
You can connect the following speakers:  
• Two sets of front speakers to produce normal stereo sound  
• One set of rear speakers to enjoy the surround effect  
• One center speaker to produce more effective surround effect (to make human voices outstanding)  
• One subwoofer to enhance the bass  
For each speaker (except for subwoofer), connect one end of the speaker signal cable (not supplied) to the  
speaker terminal on the rear panel and the other end to the speaker. (For connecting a subwoofer, see page 6).  
1. Open each terminal.  
2. Insert the end of the speaker signal cable as shown (be sure to remove the insulation at the end  
of each wire first).  
3. Close the terminals to clamp the speaker signal cables firmly in place.  
4. Connect the black (–) and red (+) terminals on the rear panel to the black (–) and red (+)  
terminals marked on the speakers.  
CAUTION:  
When connecting speakers, use speakers with the same SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by  
the speaker terminals.

About the speaker impedance of the speakers  
CAUTION:  
When connecting speakers, use speakers with the same SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by  
the speaker terminals.  
Notes:  
• The required speaker impedance of the front speakers does not differ depending on whether both the  
FRONT SPEAKERS 1 and FRONT SPEAKERS 2 terminals are used or only one of them is used.  
• The required speaker impedance of the front speakers differs depending on whether or not a center and/  
or rear speakers are connected at the same time. Since there are four possible speaker connections with  
the amplifier, check which one fits your case and use the speaker with the impedance described below.

Connecting Audio Components for the COMPU LINK-3 Remote Control System  
The COMPU LINK-3 remote control system allows you to control other JVC audio components from the  
amplifier or vice versa. To use this system, connect your JVC audio components and the amplifier with the  
cable (monaural mini-plug) supplied with those components.  
If your audio component has two COMPU LINK-3 SYNCHRO jacks, you can use either one.  
If it has only one COMPU LINK-3 SYNCHRO jack, connect it so that it is the last item in the series of  
components. (for example, the turntable and the tuner in the diagram below)  
Notes:  
• The COMPU LINK-3 remote control system is the upgraded version of the COMPU LINK-1 and COMPU  
LINK-2. Even if your component has the COMPU LINK-1 or COMPU LINK-2 jacks, you can still connect  
it in the COMPU LINK-3 remote control system, but some functions may not work correctly.  
• For more information about the COMPU LINK-3 (-1 and -2) remote control system, see page 24.

The built-in surround processor provides three types of surround programs — Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby 3-  
Channel Logic, and JVC’s Hall Surround.  
What is surround?  
The sound heard in a concert hall or a movie theater consists of direct sound and indirect sound: early  
reflectionsandreflectionsfrombehind.Thereflectedsoundsarealwaysdelayedbythedistancesoftheceiling  
and walls from the listener. These reflections are some of the most important elements of the acoustic  
surround.  
On JVC’s Hall Surround

COMPU LINK Remote Control System  
The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate JVC audio components through the remote  
sensor on the amplifier.  
To use this remote control system, you need to connect JVC audio components through the COMPU LINK-  
3 SYNCHRO jacks with the cables (monaural mini-plug supplied with those components). For details, see  
page 7.  
Notes:  
• Without connecting the audio components with RCA pin plugs as described on page 6, the COMPU LINK  
remote control system cannot operate the components.  
• Refer also to the manuals supplied with your audio components.  
This remote control system allows you to use the four functions listed below.  
7
Remote Control through the Remote Sensor on the Amplifier  
You can control JVC audio components through the remote sensor on the amplifier using this remote control.  
Aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the amplifier.  
For details, see page 25.

Automatic Source Selection  
Whenyoustartplayingonaconnectedcomponent,theamplifierautomaticallyturnsonandchangesitssource  
to the component. On the other hand, if you select a new source on the amplifier or the remote control, the  
selected component begins playing immediately.  
In both cases, the previously selected source continues playing without sound for a few seconds.  
7
Automatic Power On/Off (Standby) (only possible with the COMPU LINK-3 connection)  
The audio components (tuner, CD player and cassette deck) connected to the amplifier automatically turn on  
and off (into standby mode) with the amplifier.  
Whenyouturnontheamplifier,oneoftheconnectedcomponentswillturnonautomatically,dependingwhich  
component has been previously selected.  
When you turn off the amplifier (into standby mode), these components connected will turn off (into standby  
mode).  
7
Synchronized Recording  
Synchronized recording means the cassette deck starts recording as soon as a CD or record begins playing.  
To use synchronized recording, follow these steps:  
1
2
Put a tape in the cassette deck, and a disc in the CD player (or a record on the turntable).  
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.  
Note:  
Ifyoudonotpresstherecord()buttonandpause(8)buttonatthesametime,thesynchronizedrecording  
feature will not operate.  
3
Press the play (3) button on the CD player or on the turntable.  
The source changes on the amplifier, and as soon as play starts, the cassette deck starts recording.  
When the play ends, the cassette deck enters recording pause, and stops 4 seconds later.  
Notes:  
• During synchronized recording, the selected source cannot be changed.  
• IfyourCDplayerisplayinginprogrammode,a4-secondblankisrecordedbetweentrackssothat themusic  
scan feature of your cassette deck can be used on the recorded tape.  
• 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 CD player and cassette deck.
