The FM antenna provided can be connected to the FM 75-  
ohm COAXIAL terminal as temporary measure.  
Using the Standard Type Connector (Not Supplied)  
A standard type connector (IEC or DIN45325) should be  
connected to the FM 75-ohm COAXIAL terminal.  
Note: Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any  
other terminals, connecting cords or power cord.  
This could cause poor reception.

Connecting the Speakers  
You can connect the following speakers:  
• Two pairs of front speakers to produce normal stereo sound.  
• One pair of rear speakers to enjoy the surround effect.  
• One center speaker to produce more effective surround effect (to emphasize human voices).  
• One subwoofer to enhance the bass.  
For each speaker (except for subwoofer), connect the black (–) and red (+) terminals on the rear panel to the  
black (–) and red (+) terminals marked on the speakers. For connecting a subwoofer, see page 7.  
CAUTION:  
Use speakers with the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by the speaker terminals.  
Connecting the front speakers  
Cut, twist and remove the insulation at the end of each speaker signal cable first, and then, connect the front  
speakers to the FRONT SPEAKERS terminals by using the cables.  
You can connect two pairs of front speakers (one pair to the FRONT SPEAKERS 1 terminals, and another  
pair to the FRONT SPEAKERS 2 terminals).

About the speaker impedance of the speakers  
CAUTION:  
Use speakers with the 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 receiver, check which one fits your case and use the speaker with the impedance described below.

Connecting the Power Cord  
Before plugging the receiver into an AC outlet, make sure that all connections have been made.  
1. Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.  
POWER  
2. Press POWER to set it in the _ON position.  
The STANDBY lamp lights up. A small amount of power is always consumed.  
_ON OFF  
To shut off the power completely  
Press POWER to set it in the OFF position.  
Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables for the TV, VCR, and 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.  
The difference between the POWER switch and the STANDBY/ON  
button  
• The POWER switch is the mains supply switch, allowing the receiver to connect to the mains supply.  
To shut off the power completely, press the POWER switch to set it in the OFF position.  
• The STANDBY/ON  
button is a functional on/off (standby) switch, and does not disconnect the  
receiver from the mains supply. A small amount of power is consumed even in standby mode for the  
receiver to accept signals from the remote control.  
Note:  
A preset settings such as preset channels and sound adjustments may be erased in the following cases:  
• When you press POWER to set it in the OFF position.  
• 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.

Using the RDS (Radio Data System) to Receive FM Stations  
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 tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS service, the RDS indicator lights up on the display.  
With the receiver, you can receive the following types of RDS signals.  
PS (Program Service) :  
PTY (Program Type) :  
RT (Radio Text) :  
shows commonly known station names  
shows types of broadcast programs  
shows text messages the station sends  
About characters shown on the display  
When the display shows PS, PTY, or RT signals, the following characters are used.  
• The display cannot differentiate upper case and lower case letters and always uses upper case letters.  
• The display cannot show accented letters, “A”, for instance, may stand for accented “A’s” like “Å, Ä,  
Ã, Á, À, and Â.”

Using the Surround Processor  
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  
Inordertoreproduceamorerealisticsoundfieldinyourlistening  
roomwhileplayinganordinarystereosource,JVC’sHallSurround  
has been designed to give you clear vocals and to create the  
feeling of a concert hall. The sound is reproduced through the  
front speakers and rear speakers.

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  
9).

Notes:  
• If your audio component has two COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) jacks, you can use either one. If it has only  
oneCOMPULINK-3(SYNCHRO)jack, connectitsothatitisthelastitemintheseriesofcomponents. (For  
example, the turntable or CD player in the diagram above.)  
• Refer also to the manuals supplied with your audio components.  
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. For details, see page 36.  
Note:  
Aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the receiver.  
7
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.  
7
Automatic Power On/Off (Standby) (only possible with the COMPU LINK-3 connection)  
Both the CD player and cassette deck turn on and off (into standby mode) along with the receiver.  
When you turn on the receiver, the CD player or cassette deck will turn on automatically, depending on which  
component has been previously selected.  
When you turn off the receiver (into standby mode), both the CD player and cassette deck will turn off (into  
standby mode).  
7
Synchronized Recording  
Synchronized recording means the cassette deck starts recording as soon as a CD or a 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 receiver, and as soon as play starts, the cassette deck starts recording.  
When the play ends, the cassette deck enters recording pause, and stops about 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.
