Connecting the Power Cord  
Putting Batteries in the Remote Control  
Before plugging the receiver into an AC outlet, make sure that all  
connections have been made.  
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 receiver.  
Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.  
1. On the back of the remote control, remove the  
battery cover as illustrated.  
2. Insert batteries. Make sure to observe the proper  
polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).  
Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables and the  
antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference.  
We recommend that you use a coaxial cable to connect the  
antenna, since it is well-shielded against interference.  
Note:  
The preset settings such as preset channels and sound adjustment  
may be erased in a few days in the following cases:  
R6P (SUM-3)/AA (15F)  
– When you unplug the power cord.  
– When a power failure occurs.  
CAUTIONS:  
3. Replace the cover.  
• 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.  
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  
indicated: (+) 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.

Using the RDS (Radio Data System) to  
Receive FM Stations  
Notes:  
RDS allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their  
regular program signals. For example, the stations send their station  
names, as well as information about what type of program they  
broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.  
• When pressing DISPLAY on the remote control, make sure that you  
have selected FM station using the remote control. If not, the

RDS indicator lights up on the display.  
With the receiver, you can receive the following types of RDS  
signals.  
PS (Program Service) : shows commonly known station names  
PTY (Program Type) : shows types of broadcast programs  
RT (Radio Text) : shows text messages the station sends  
EON (Enhanced Other Network): see page 16.  
Notes:  
• RDS is not available for AM (MW/LW) broadcasts.  
• RDS may not operate correctly if the station tuned is not

DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) mode and Surround mode (Dolby Pro Logic and JVC Theater Surround).  
3D-PHONIC modes  
Surround Modes  
The 3D-PHONIC mode gives you such a nearly surround effect as it  
is reproduced through the Dolby Surround decoder, which is widely  
used to reproduce sounds with a feeling of movement like those  
experienced in movie theaters. The 3D-PHONIC mode is the result  
of research on sound localization technology carried out at JVC for  
many years. This mode can be used when two front speakers are  
connected to this receiver (without respect to the rear/center  
speaker connection).  
With this receiver, you can use two types of the Surround modes.  
• Dolby Surround  
Dolby Surround has been developed to reproduce the important  
elements of the acoustic surround at home.  
To watch the soundtracks of video software bearing the mark  
DOLBY SURROUND  
* which includes the same encoded surround  
information as found in Dolby Stereo films, the receiver can provide  
you with Dolby Surround decoder.  
There are two types of Dolby Surround – “Pro Logic” and “3  
Stereo.”  
You can select either 3D ACTION or 3D THEATER to your  
preference.  
3D ACTION: Best for action and war movies — where the  
“Pro Logic” can be used when the front speakers and rear  
speakers are connected to this receiver (regardless of the center  
speaker connection). On the other hand, “3 Stereo” can be used  
when the rear speakers are not connected (center speaker must  
be connected).  
action is fast and explosive.  
3D THEATER: Reproduces the sound field of a large theater.  
• JVC Theater Surround  
In order to reproduce a more realistic sound field in your listening  
room while playing soundtracks of video software bearing the mark  
DOLBY SURROUND  
, JVC Theater Surround has been designed to give  
you clearer vocals and to create a real “being there” feeling.  
This mode can be used when the front speakers and rear  
speakers are connected to this receiver (without respect to the  
center speaker connection).  
DAP modes  
The sound heard in a concert hall or club 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 DAP  
mode can create these important elements, and gives you a real  
“being there” feeling. This mode can be used when the front  
speakers are connected to this receiver (without respect to the  
rear/center speaker connection).  
Notes:  
You can select one of the following to your preference.  
• The DSP modes have no effect on monaural sources.  
• The DSP modes cannot be used for recording.  
• When you select “DVDMULTI” as the source to play, you cannot  
select or adjust the DSP modes.  
DANCE CLUB: Gives a throbbing bass beat.  
LIVE CLUB: Gives the feeling of a live music club with a low  
ceiling.  
IMPORTANT:  
HALL:  
Gives clear vocal and the feeling of a concert hall.  
Before recording, turn off the DVD MULTI playback mode.  
PAVILION:  
Gives the spacious feeling of a pavilion with a high  
ceiling.  
As for the DVD MULTI playback mode, see  
page 22.

COMPU LINK Remote Control System  
The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate JVC audio components through the remote sensor on  
the receiver.  
To use this remote control system, you need to connect JVC audio  
components through the COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) jacks (see  
below) in addition to the connections using cables with RCA pin  
plugs (see page 5).  
• 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.  
Automatic Power On/Off (Standby): only possible  
with the COMPU LINK-3 connection  
Both the CD player and cassette deck (or MD recorder) turn on and  
off (standby) along with the receiver.  
When you turn on the receiver, the CD player or cassette deck (or  
MD 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 MD recorder) will turn off (standby).  
CD player  
Synchronized Recording  
Synchronized recording means the cassette deck (or MD recorder)  
starts recording as soon as a CD or a record begins playing.  
Cassette deck  
or  
MD recorder  
To use synchronized recording, follow these steps:  
COMPU LINK – 3  
(SYNCHRO)  
1. Put a tape in the cassette deck (or an MD in the  
MD recorder), and a disc in the CD player (or a  
record on the turntable).  
2. Press the record () button and the pause (8)  
button on the cassette deck (or MD recorder) at  
the same time.  
This puts the cassette deck (or MD recorder) into recording  
pause.  
Turntable  
If you do not press the record () button and pause (8) button at  
the same time, the synchronized recording feature will not  
operate.  
To connect the components, use the cables with  
monaural mini plug.  
3. Press the play (3) button on the CD player or on  
the turntable.  
Notes:  
The source changes on the receiver, and as soon as play starts,  
the cassette deck (or MD recorder) starts recording. When the  
play ends, the cassette deck (or MD recorder) enters recording  
pause, and stops about 4 seconds later.  
• 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 or CD player in the  
diagram above.)  
• To operate the cassette deck or MD 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.  
• Refer also to the manuals supplied with your audio components.  
• 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.  
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 24 and 25.  
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 the remote control, the  
selected component begins playing immediately.  
In both cases, the previously selected source continues playing  
without sound for a few seconds.
