Introduction  
We would like to thank you for purchasing one of our JVC products.  
Before operating this unit, read this manual carefully and thoroughly to obtain the best possible performance  
from your unit, and retain this manual for future reference.  
Features  
Precautions  
Dolby Digital Decoder Incorporated  
Power sources  
You can enjoy Dolby Digital, one of the most advanced home  
theater sound systems available. Dolby Digital, with five full-  
range channels and a LFE (subwoofer) channel, lets you enjoy the  
most spectacular theater sound at home when you view movies on  
DVD.  
• When unplugging the receiver from the wall outlet, always pull  
the plug, not the AC power cord.  
• Do not handle the AC power cord with wet hands.  
• If you are not going to operate the receiver for an extended period  
of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.  
Compatible with DTS Digital Surround  
Multi-room operations  
The RX-9010VBK is compatible with DTS Digital Surround as  
well. DTS Digital Surround is the digital movie soundtrack format  
that delivers 5.1-channel audio like Dolby Digital. Using a low  
audio-data compression rate, it features natural, solid and clear  
sound.  
• Do not use the remote control outdoors or install the speakers  
outdoors.  
• When operating the receiver from the place where you cannot see  
the receiver (for example, when controlling the receiver installed  
in the living room from the kitchen), pay attention to the following  
not to surprise other people:  
– Be careful not to turn up the volume so high when controlling  
the receiver without listening to the playback sound.  
– Be careful not to surprise other people with a sudden sound  
coming out of the receiver when turning it on. (A sudden stop of  
the sound may also surprise other people.)  
Multi-room Operations  
You can connect two pairs of the front speakers to the  
RX-9010VBK, and use them to listen to different sources in the  
different rooms (Main room and Sub-room) at the same time.  
• If the receiver operates by itself or malfunctions, the following  
causes will be considered:  
– Interference to RF communication between the receiver and the  
remote control from outside.  
– The remote control is operated unintentionally. For example, a  
book is placed on the remote control, possibly, depressing some  
buttons on the remote control.  
• If your neighbour uses the same or similar RF remote control  
system, the receiver may happen to receive the RF signals sent  
from such an RF remote control system, which could cause your  
receiver to be operated unintentionally. If this happen, stop using  
the RF rod antenna and the remote control, and consult your JVC  
dealer or the nearest JVC Service Center.  
RF/IR Multi-brand Remote Control  
The remote control sends out not only IR (infrared) signals but  
also RF (radio frequency) signals as coded commands to control  
the receiver. The RF rod antenna can receive the RF (Radio  
Frequency) signals sent from the remote control to operate the  
receiver. In addition, the supplied RF signal transmitter can  
transmit IR signals which could control other video components.  
• The remote control provided for this receiver can transmit  
control signals for many manufacturers’ components.  
COMPU LINK Remote Control System  
The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate  
other JVC audio components from this receiver.  
Others  
TEXT COMPU LINK Remote Control System  
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit, unplug the  
unit and consult your dealer before operating any further.  
• Do not disassemble the unit since there are no user serviceable  
parts inside.  
The TEXT COMPU LINK remote control system has been  
developed to deal with the disc information recorded on the CD  
Text and MDs. Using this information on the discs, you can  
operate the CD player or MD recorder through the receiver.  
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your  
JVC dealer.  
AV COMPU LINK Remote Control System  
The AV COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to  
operate other JVC video components from this receiver.

Setting Up the RF Rod Antenna  
Setting Up the IR Signal Transmitter  
The remote control supplied for this receiver can transmit RF (Radio  
Frequency) signal. The RF rod antenna can receive the RF signals  
emitted from the remote control. So, with the RF rod antenna  
connected, you can operate the receiver at a distance of up to 50 feet  
(15 m) using the remote control. However, if the antenna cannot  
receive signals stably, you cannot operate the receiver correctly.  
• The signal-reachable distance may differ depending on the  
operating conditions and circumstances. To improve transmitting  
conditions, change the distance to the receiver and the direction  
to transmit while operating the remote control.  
The IR signal transmitter can transmit the IR signals.  
It allows you to use the AV COMPULINK system, and to operate  
other manufacturers’ components without aiming the remote control  
directly toward the remote sensor on the target components. In  
addition, the IR signal transmitter reduces the possibility of  
malfunction.  
• The IR signal transmitter may not operate the target components  
depending on the operating conditions and circumstances —  
including the aiming angle and direction of the IR signal  
transmitter toward the remote sensors of the target components.  
If this occurs, changing its aiming angle and direction toward the  
remote sensors may solve the problem.  
• Without the RF rod antenna connected, you can operate the  
receiver with the remote control, aiming the remote control  
directly toward the remote sensor on the receiver.  
To set up the IR signal transmitter  
To set up the RF rod antenna  
1. Find the place where you attach the IR signal  
transmitter.  
1. Insert the RF rod antenna to the RF REMOTE  
ANTENNA terminal.  
• Place it where the signal can reach the remote sensor of the  
target components directly (in the line-of-sight).  
• If the cord length of the IR signal transmitter is not long  
enough, use an extension cord (not supplied).

The remote control supplied for this receiver can transmit both RF  
(Radio Frequency) signal and IR (infrared) signal at the same time.  
This receiver catches the RF signals emitted from the remote  
control, and converts them into IR signals, then transmits the  
converted signals to the remote sensor on the other components  
through IR signal transmitter.

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.  
1. On the back of the remote control, remove the  
battery cover.  
Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.  
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.  
2. Insert batteries. Make sure to match the polarity:  
(+) to (+).  
Note:  
R6P(SUM3)/AA(15F)  
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.  
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.  
3. Replace the cover.  
If the remote control cannot transmit signals and operate the  
receiver correctly, replace the batteries. Use two R6P(SUM3)/  
AA(15F) type dry-cell batteries.  
Notes:  
• When you can aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor  
on the receiver, you can operate the receiver at a distance of up to  
23 feet (7 m).  
• After replacing the batteries, set the manufacturers’ codes again  
(see page 68).  
CAUTIONS:  
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.

mode can be used when the front speakers are connected to this  
receiver (without respect to the rear/center speaker connection).

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 decode 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.  
5 CH/4 CH Stereo mode  
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 filed 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.  
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 10.)

DTS Digital Surround (bearing the mark  
5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD  
software.  
) is another discrete  
Note:  
“5CH STEREO” is selected when setting the center speaker to  
“LARGE” or “SMALL.4CH STEREO” is selected when setting the  
center speaker to “NONE” (see page 29).  
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 10.)

3D-PHONIC modes  
Reproducing the Sound 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.  
HEADPHONE DSP mode  
The HEADPHONE DSP mode can create the stereo sound while  
listening to a source using headphones as if you listen through the  
speakers. 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 19).  
Direct sounds  
Notes:  
DVD MULTI Playback Mode  
• When the SUB ROOM and SPEAKERS SUB ROOM indicators are  
lit on the display, the SURROUND ON/OFF button do not work.  
• When the SUB ROOM and SPEAKERS SUB ROOM indicators are  
lit on the display, you can only use DAP and 3D-PHONIC modes for  
the main room source. In this case, “DSP” and “3D-PHONIC”  
indicators light up on the front panel.  
• When you select “DVD MULTI” as the source to play, you cannot  
select or adjust the Surround and DSP modes.  
• When the Line Direct function is turned on, the DSP modes are  
canceled temporarily (see page 22).  
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 9.  
• For details on the DVD MULTI playback mode, see page 49.  
• No adjustment can be made for the HEADPHONE DSP mode.

COMPU LINK Remote Control System  
The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate JVC audio components through this 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 7 and 8).  
• 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.  
Notes:  
• There are four versions of COMPU LINK remote control system.  
This receiver is equipped with the fourth version — COMPU LINK-  
4. This version is created by adding systematic operations with the  
CD recorder 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.)  
To operate the cassette deck or MD recorder using the COMPU  
LINK remote control system, set the source name correctly. (See  
page 33.)  
• Refer also to the manuals supplied with your audio components.  
CD player  
This remote control system allows you to use four functions listed  
below.  
CD recorder  
Remote Control through the Remote Sensor on the  
Receiver  
Cassette deck  
or  
MD recorder  
You can control the connected audio components through the  
receiver using this remote control. For details, see pages 65 – 67.  
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 main room source to the component.
