clear and smooth video images on your display. For RX-  
D411S/RX-D412B, this function is applied only when the NTSC  
analog video signals are transmitted to the receiver.  
K2 technology  
Compatible with HDMI*  
K2 technology has been designed to enable natural audio  
reproduction, achieving a drastic reduction in digital  
distortion and creating original sound ambience with high  
precision.  
The HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the  
standard interface for the next-generation TV. By connecting  
the source components, this receiver, and TV with the HDMI  
cables, digital video signals and audio signals (including Dolby  
Digital, DTS) are transmitted through the cables. You can  
transmit digital video signal and audio signal without AD/DA  
conversion with easy connection.  
As RX-D411S/RX-D412B supports up to HDMI version 1.1, this  
receiver can digitally receive 5.1-channel PCM with fs 96 kHz  
and 2-channel PCM with fs 192 kHz. (These PCM signals are  
referred to as “multi-channel PCM” in this instructions.) You  
can enjoy digital sound without deterioration. In addition, this  
receiver is compatible with HDCP** (High-bandwidth Digital  
Content Protection), and HDCP contents can be viewed if you  
connect an HDCP-compatible TV to this receiver.  
Precautions  
Power sources  
• 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.  
* HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia  
Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI  
Licensing LLC.  
Ventilation  
**HDCP is the abbreviation of “High-bandwidth Digital  
Content Protection,” and is the high-reliable copy control  
technology licensed by Digital Content Protection, LLC.  
The seven high power amplifiers built in this receiver will  
generate heat inside the cabinet.  
For safety, observe the following carefully:  
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver.  
Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the receiver.  
• Do not block the ventilation openings or holes. (If the  
ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or  
cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)  
7.1 channel DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor)  
Sound field simulation technology allows precise ambience  
recreation of existing theatres and halls. Thanks to the high-  
performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and high-capacity  
memory, you can enjoy 7.1-channel surround by playing  
2-channel or multi-channel software.  
Others  
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the receiver,  
unplug the receiver and consult your dealer before  
operating any further.  
• Do not use this receiver in a bathroom or places with water.  
• Do not place any containers filled with water or liquids (such  
as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups,  
etc.) on the top of this receiver.  
Precise Surround Setup  
Precise Surround Setup is a newly-developed JVC solution for  
quick, easy and systematic optimization of surround sound.  
By using Precise Surround Setup, you can enjoy the best  
possible surround performance. Precise Surround Setup  
measures the listening environment accurately with the  
dedicated earphone-type microphones and adjusts the  
speaker settings automatically.  
• Do not disassemble the receiver since there are no user  
serviceable parts inside.  
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and  
consult your JVC dealer.  
CC (Compression Compensative) Converter  
CC Converter eliminates jitter and ripples, achieving a drastic  
reduction in digital distortion by processing the digital music  
data in 24 bit–quantization and by expanding the sampling  
frequency to 128 kHz (for fs 32 kHz signals)/176.4 kHz (for fs  
44.1 kHz signals)/192 kHz (for fs 48 kHz signals). By using the  
CC Converter, you can obtain a natural sound field from any  
source.

Component > S-video > Composite  
IMPORTANT:  
* When connecting the TV to the receiver through the HDMI  
MONITOR OUT terminal and selecting “HDMI” for the video  
output setting, you can view the playback picture on the TV.  
The video signals from one type of these input jacks are  
transmitted only through the video output jacks of the  
same type. Therefore, if a recording video component and  
a playing video component are connected to the receiver  
through the video terminals of different type, you cannot  
record the picture. In addition, if the TV and a playing video  
component are connected to the receiver through the video  
terminals of different type, you cannot view the playback  
picture on the TV.*  
Do not connect the AC power cord until all other connections have been made.

Creating realistic  
sound fields  
7Dolby Digital*  
Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method,  
developed by Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel  
encoding and decoding.  
• When Dolby Digital signal is detected through the digital  
input, the  
indicator lights up on the display.  
Dolby Digital 5.1CH  
Dolby Digital 5.1CH (DOLBY DIGITAL) encoding method  
records and digitally compresses the left front channel, right  
front channel, center channel, left surround channel, right  
surround channel, and LFE channel signals (total 6 channels,  
but the LFE channel is counted as 0.1 channel; therefore,  
called 5.1 channel).  
Reproducing theater ambience  
In a movie theater, many speakers are located on the walls to  
reproduce impressive multi-channel sound, reaching you from  
all directions.  
Dolby Digital enables stereo surround sounds, and sets the  
cutoff frequency of the surround treble at 20 kHz, compared  
to 7 kHz for Dolby Pro Logic. As such, the sound movement  
and “being-there” feeling are enhanced much more than  
Dolby Pro Logic.  
With these many speakers, sound localization and sound  
movement can be expressed.  
Surround/DSP modes built in this receiver can create almost  
the same Surround sound as you can feel in a real movie  
theater.  
Dolby Digital EX  
Dolby Digital EX (DOLBY D EX) is a digital surround encoding  
format that adds the third surround channels, called “surround  
back.”  
Compared to the conventional Dolby Digital 5.1CH, these  
newly added surround back channels can reproduce more  
detailed movements behind you while viewing the video  
software. In addition, surround sound localization will become  
more stable.  
7Dolby Surround  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
Dolby Pro Logic II is a multi-channel playback decoder to  
convert 2-channel software into 5-channel (plus subwoofer).  
The matrix-based conversion method used for Dolby Pro Logic  
II makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the surround  
treble and enables stereo surround sound.  
• This receiver provides three types of Dolby Pro Logic II  
modes—Pro Logic II Movie (PLII MOVIE), Pro Logic II Music  
(PLII MUSIC), and Pro Logic II Game (PLII GAME).  
When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the

Dolby Pro Logic IIx  
DTS 96/24  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx is another multi-channel playback  
decoder to convert not only multi-channel software but  
2-channel software into 7.1 channel (or 6.1 channel) that  
developed from Dolby Pro Logic II. The matrix-based  
conversion method used for Dolby Pro Logic IIx makes no  
limitation for the cutoff frequency of the surround treble.  
• This receiver provides three types of Dolby Pro Logic IIx  
modes—Pro Logic IIx Movie (PLIIx MOVIE), Pro Logic IIx  
Music (PLIIx MUSIC), and Pro Logic IIx Game (PLIIx GAME).  
When Dolby Pro Logic IIx is activated, “PLIIx MOVIE,” “PLIIx  
In recent years, there has been increasing interest in higher  
sampling rates both for recording and for reproducing at  
home. Higher sampling rates allow wider frequency range and  
greater bit depths provide extended dynamic range.  
DTS 96/24 is a multi-channel digital signal format (fs 96  
kHz/24 bits) introduced by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. to  
deliver “better-than-CD sound quality” into the home.

indicator  
DTS Neo:6  
DTS Neo:6 is another conversion method to create 6-channel  
(plus subwoofer) from analog/digital 2-channel software by  
using the high precision digital matrix decoder used for DTS-  
ES Matrix 6.1ch.  
PLIIx MOVIE Suitable for playing any Dolby Surround  
encoded software. You can enjoy a sound field  
with a natural wraparound effect.  
• This receiver provides the following DTS Neo:6 modes—  
Neo:6 Cinema (NEO:6 CINEMA) and Neo:6 Music (NEO:6  
MUSIC).  
When one of them is activated, the NEO:6 indicator lights up  
on the display.  
PLIIx MUSIC Suitable for playing any 2-channel stereo  
software. You can enjoy wide and deep 7.1-  
channel sounds.  
PLIIx GAME Suitable for when playing a video game. You  
can enjoy 7.1-channel sounds with “being  
there” feeling. This mode is available only for  
an analog 2-channel signal.  
NEO:6 CINEMA Suitable for playing movies. You can get the  
same atmosphere with 2-channel software  
as with 6.1-channel software. It is also  
effective for playing software encoded with  
conventional surround formats.  
7DTS*  
DTS is another digital signal compression method, developed  
by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., and enables multi-channel  
encoding and decoding (1ch up to 6.1ch).  
NEO:6 MUSIC Suitable for playing music software. The  
front channel signals bypass the decoder  
(resulting in no loss of sound quality) and  
the surround signals transmitted through  
the other speakers expand the sound field  
naturally.  
• When DTS signal is detected through the digital input, the  
indicator lights up on the display.  
DTS Digital Surround  
DTS Digital Surround (DTS) is a discrete 5.1-channel digital  
audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software.  
Compared to Dolby Digital, the DTS Digital Surround format  
has a lower audio compression rate which enables it to add  
breadth and depth to the sounds reproduced. As such, DTS  
Digital Surround features natural, solid, and clear sound.  
DTS Extended Surround (DTS-ES)  
DTS-ES is another multi-channel digital encoding format.  
It greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and  
space expression by adding the third surround channel—  
surround back channel.  
DTS-ES includes two signal formats with different surround  
signal recording methods—DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch (ES  
DISCRETE) and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1ch (ES MATRIX).  
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch has been designed to encode (and  
decode) a 6.1-channel signal discretely to avoid interference  
with each channel.  
* “DTS”, “DTS-ES”, “Neo:6” and “DTS 96/24” are trademarks  
of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.  
When using Surround mode, the sounds come out of the  
activated speakers which the Surround mode requires.  
• If either “SURROUND SPK” or “CENTER SPK” is set  
to “NO” in the speaker setting (see page 30), the  
corresponding channel signals are allocated to and emitted  
through the front speakers.  
• If both “SURROUND SPK” and “CENTER SPK” are set to  
“NO” in the speaker setting (see page 30), JVC’s original  
3D-PHONIC processing (which has been developed to create  
the surround effect through the front speakers only) is used.  
The 3D-PHONIC indicator lights up on the display.  
DTS-ES Matrix 6.1ch has been designed to add an extra  
surround channel to DTS Digital Surround 5.1-channel. By  
using a matrix encoding/decoding method, an additional  
“surround back” channel signal is encoded (and decoded) in  
both the left and right surround channel signals.

7Digital Acoustic Processor (DAP) modes  
About other digital signals  
Linear PCM—Uncompressed digital audio data used for  
DVDs, CDs, and Video CDs  
You can use the following DAP modes in order to reproduce a  
more acoustic sound field in your listening room.  
DVDs support 2 channels with sampling rates of 48/96 kHz,  
at quantization of 16/20/24 bits. On the other hand, CDs  
and Video CDs are limited to 2 channels with 44.1 kHz at 16  
bits.  
• When Linear PCM signal is detected, the LINEAR PCM  
indicator lights up.  
Multi-channel PCM—Uncompressed multi-channel digital  
audio data used for DVD-Audios  
DVD-Audios support up to 5.1 channels with sampling rates  
of 44.1/48/88.2/96 kHz and 2 channels with sampling rates  
of 44.1/48/88.2/96/176/192 kHz, at quantization of 16/20/24

PAVILION  
THEATER1  
Reproduces the spatial feeling of an exhibition  
hall with a high ceiling.  
Dual Mono  
Reproduces the spatial feeling of a large  
theater where the seating capacity is about  
600.  
Dual Mono can be easily understood when you think of the  
bilingual broadcast for TV programs (however, the Dual  
Mono format is not identical with those analog formats).  
This format is now adopted in Dolby Digital, DTS, and so on.  
It allows two independent channels (called main channel  
and sub-channel) to be recorded separately.  
• You can select either channel you want to listen to (see  
page 32).  
THEATER2  
Reproduces the spatial feeling of a small  
theater where the seating capacity is about  
300.  
NOTE  
When “THEATER1” or “THEATER2” is activated while playing back  
2-channel analog or digital source, the built-in Dolby Pro Logic II  
decoder is activated and the  
indicator lights up.  
When using the DAP mode, the sounds come out of all the  
connected and activated speakers.  
• If “SURROUND SPK” is set to “NO” in the speaker setting  
(see page 30), JVC’s original 3D-PHONIC processing (which  
has been developed to create the surround effect through  
the front speakers only) is used.  
Introducing the DSP modes  
The sound heard in a concert hall, club, etc. 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 3D-PHONIC indicator lights up on the display.  
The DSP modes can create these important elements, and  
give you a real “being there” feeling.  
7MONO FILM  
In order to reproduce a more acoustic sound field in your  
listening room while viewing monaural sound video software  
(analog and 2-channel digital signals including Dual Mono  
signal), you can use this mode.  
Reflections from behind  
Early reflections  
The surround effect will be added, and the sound localization  
of actor’s words will be improved.  
This mode cannot be used for multi-channel digital  
signals.  
When “MONO FILM” is used, sounds come out of all the  
connected (and activated) speakers.  
• If “SURROUND SPK” is set to “NO” in the speaker setting  
(see page 30), JVC’s original 3D-PHONIC processing (which  
has been developed to create the surround effect through  
the front speakers only) is used.  
Direct sounds  
The 3D-PHONIC indicator lights up on the display.  
• If incoming signals change from 2-channel digital signal to  
another digital signal type, “MONO FILM” is canceled and an  
appropriate Surround mode is activated.  
The DSP modes include the following modes:  
• Digital Acoustic Processor (DAP) modes—HALL1, HALL2,  
LIVE CLUB, DANCE CLUB, PAVILION, THEATER1, THEATER2  
• MONO FILM—Used for all types of 2-channel signals  
(including Dual Mono signal)  
• All Channel Stereo mode (ALL CH STEREO)  
When one of the DSP modes is activated, the DSP indicator  
lights up on the display.

7Connections 2: Video cable connection  
The AV COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to  
operate JVC’s video components (TV, DVD player*, and  
VCR) through this receiver.  
This receiver is equipped with the AV COMPU LINK-III, which  
has added a function to operate JVC’s video components  
through the component video jacks. To use this remote  
control system, you need to connect the video components  
you want to operate, following the diagrams below and the  
procedures on page 46.  
This receiver is equipped with three types of the video  
terminals as well as the HDMI terminals—composite video,  
S-video, and component video—and the signals coming into  
this receiver through one type of video terminals can output  
only through the terminal of the same type. So you need to  
connect the video components to this receiver using one of  
the following three ways.  
• When using the AV COMPU LINK remote control system,  
set the video input and video output setting for the DVD  
player and the VCR correctly (see “Selecting the video  
input setting” on page 21 and “Selecting the output video  
signals—VIDEO OUTPUT” on page 34); otherwise, the  
correct input for this receiver will not be selected on the TV.  
• Refer also to the manuals supplied with your video  
components.  
* “DVD player” on pages 45 and 46 can be replaced with “DVD  
recorder.”
