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.  
Before plugging the receiver into an AC outlet, make sure that all  
connections have been made.  
Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.  
1. On the back of the remote control, remove the  
battery cover.  
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.  
Notes:  
• The preset settings such as preset channels and sound adjustment  
may be erased in a few days in the following cases:  
– When you unplug the power cord.  
– When a power failure occurs.  
• If the wall outlet does not match the AC plug, use the supplied AC  
plug adaptor.  
2. Insert batteries. Make sure to match the  
polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).  
CAUTIONS:  
• Do not plug in before setting the voltage selector switch on the  
rear of the unit and all connection procedures are complete.  
• 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.  
R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F)  
3. Replace the cover.  
If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace  
the batteries. Use two R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell batteries.  
Note:  
After replacing the batteries, set the manufacturers’ codes again (see  
page 52).  
CAUTION:  
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.

Cr ea t ing a S ur r ound Field in Your Room  
The built-in Surround Processor provides Surround mode and four types of the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) mode —  
DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) mode, 5 CH/ 4 CH Stereo mode, 3 D-PHONIC mode, and HEADPHONE DSP mode.  
W ith this receiver, you can use a Surround mode and a DSP mode at the same time. Once you have adjusted Surround  
and/ or DSP modes, the adjustments done for each source are memorized.  
S ur r ound m odes  
DS P m odes  
With this receiver, you can use two types of the Surround mode.  
Following modes cannot be used when only the front speakers  
are connected to this receiver (without the rear speakers or  
center speaker).  
With this receiver, you can use four types of the DSP mode.  
DAP m odes  
In order to reproduce a more acoustic sound field in your listening  
room while playing music sources, you can use DAP modes. This  
mode can be used when the front speakers are connected to this  
receiver (without respect to the rear/center speaker connection).  
Dolby S ur r ound (Dolby Digit a l a nd Dolby P r o Logic) *

DOLBY SURROUND  
(bearing the mark  
).  
Dolby Surround encoding format records the left front channel, right  
front channel, center channel, and rear channel (total 4 channels)  
signals into 2 channels. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built in this  
receiver decodes these 2 channel signals into original 4 channel  
signals — matrix-based multichannel reproduction, and allows you  
to enjoy the realistic sound field in your listening room.  
On the other hand, Dolby Digital encoding method (so called a  
discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format) records and compresses  
the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left rear  
channel, right rear channel, and LFE channel (total 6 channels, but  
LFE channel is counted as 0.1 channel, therefore called 5.1  
channels) signals digitally. Each channel is completely independent  
from other channel signals to avoid interference, therefore, you can  
obtain much better sound quality with much stereo and surround  
effects.  
THEATER 1: Reproduces the sound field of a large theater  
(where the seating capacity about 1,000).  
THEATER 2: Reproduces the sound field of a small theater  
(where the seating capacity about 300).  
HALL 1:  
Gives clear vocal and the feeling of a large concert  
hall (where the seating capacity about 1,000).  
HALL 2:  
Gives clear vocal and the feeling of a small concert  
hall (where the seating capacity about 300).  
LIVE CLUB: Gives the feeling of a live music club with a low  
ceiling.  
DANCE CLUB: Gives a throbbing bass beat.  
PAVILION:  
Gives the spacious feeling of a pavilion with a  
high ceiling.  
The Dolby Digital decoder built in this receiver can create much  
more realistic sound field in your listening room. You may feel as if  
you were in a real theater.  
In addition, Dolby Digital enables stereo rear sounds, and sets the  
cutoff frequency of the rear treble at 20 kHz, comparing to 7 kHz for  
Dolby Pro Logic. These facts enhance the sound movement and  
being-there feelings much more than Dolby Pro Logic.  
• To enjoy the software encoded with Dolby Digital, you must  
connect the source component using the digital terminal on the  
rear of this receiver. (See page 8.)  
5 CH/ 4 CH S t er eo m ode  
You can create more powerful sound field for both of the digital and  
analog stereo sounds source. The 4 CH Stereo mode reproduces a  
sound field through the front left and right speakers and rear left and  
right speakers. The 5 CH Stereo mode adds the center channel  
element to the 4 CH Stereo sound field by outputting mixed left and  
right signals through the center speaker. This mode cannot be used  
when only the front speakers are connected to this receiver  
without the rear speakers.  
DTS Digit a l S ur r ound **  
DTS Digital Surround is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio  
format available on CD, LD, and DVD software encoded with DTS  
Note:  
Digital Surround (bearing the mark  
).  
“5CH STEREO” is selected when setting the center speaker to  
“LARGE” or “SMALL,and “4CH STEREO” is selected when setting  
the center speaker to “NONE” (see page 17).  
Comparing to Dolby Digital, audio compression rate is relatively  
low. This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format to add breadth  
and depth to the reproduced sounds. As a result, DTS Digital  
Surround features natural, solid and clear sound.  
• To enjoy the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround, you  
must connect the source component using the digital terminal on  
the rear of this receiver. (See page 8.)

3 D-P HONIC m odes  
Repr oducing t he S ound Field  
The 3D-PHONIC mode gives you such a nearly surround effect as 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 the front speakers are  
connected to this receiver (without respect to the rear/center  
speaker connection). When the 3D-PHONIC mode is reproduced  
with the center speaker connected, you can feel as if actors on the  
screen actually speak in your room.  
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 Surround and DSP modes can create these important elements,  
and give you a real “being there” feeling.  
You can select “3D ACTION” only when playing an analog or  
linear PCM (digital) source.  
You can select “3D DIGITAL” only when playing a source  
encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS Digital Surround.  
Reflections from  
behind  
Early reflections  
3D ACTION: Best for action and war movies — where the  
action is fast and explosive.  
3D DIGITAL: Reproduces multichannel source encoded with  
Dolby Digital or with DTS Digital Surround.  
HEADP HONE DS P m ode  
The HEADPHONE DSP mode can create the stereo sound as if you  
listen through the speakers while listening to a source using  
headphones. So you can feel as if you were in a music room. This  
mode can be used only when both of the front speakers are  
deactivated (see page 13.)  
Direct sounds  
DVD M ULTI P la yba ck M ode  
This receiver provides the DVD MULTI playback mode for  
reproducing the analog discrete 5.1 channel output mode of the  
DVD player or other equipment.  
You can adjust the DVD MULTI playback mode while playing  
back a video software such as a DVD using the analog discrete  
5.1 channel output mode.  
• For the DVD MULTI playback mode connection, see page 7.  
• For details on the DVD MULTI playback mode, see page 35.  
Notes:  
• When you select “DVD MULTI” as the source to play, you cannot  
select or adjust the Surround and DSP modes.  
• The PRO LOGIC indicator lights up when the Dolby Pro Logic  
decorder built in this receiver is activated.  
• When the line direct function is turned on, the Surround and DSP  
modes are canceled temporarily (see page 14).

COM P U LINK Rem ot e Cont r ol S ys t em  
The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate J VC 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 (SYNCHRO) jacks (see  
below) in addition to the connections using cables with RCA pin  
plugs (see pages 5 and 6).  
• 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.  
Aut om a t ic S our ce S elect ion  
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 on the remote control, the  
selected component begins playing immediately.  
In both cases, the previously selected source continues playing  
without sound for a few seconds.

to the previous version — COMPU LINK-3.  
• If your audio component has two COMPU LINK jacks, you can use  
either one. If it has only one COMPU LINK 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.)  
3. Press the play (3) button on the CD player.  
The source changes on the receiver, and as soon as play starts,  
the cassette deck (or MD recorder) starts recording. When the

connected to the VCR 1 jacks), DVD player, TV  
and this receiver into the AC outlets, unplug their  
AC power cords first.

on this receiver (and analog input is selected), the receiver  
automatically turns on and changes the source to “DVD” or  
“DVD MULTI.”  
When the DVD player is connected through the digital input  
terminal on this receiver (and digital input is selected), the  
receiver automatically turns on and changes the source to “DVD  
DGTL.”  
2. Connect your VCR 1, DVD player, TV and this  
receiver as follows, using the cables with the  
monaural mini-plugs (not supplied).
