SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”  
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care  
must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.  
Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.  
Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment)  
are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or  
changing connections.  
Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.  
Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.  
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way—switch  
off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.  
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.  
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation  
or has a standby mode.  
Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this.  
Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.  
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal  
to watch television whilst driving.  
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing.  
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.  
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.  
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws—to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s approved  
stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.  
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.  
ABOVE ALL  
— NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case—this could result in  
a fatal electrical shock.;  
— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind—it is better to be safe than sorry!

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  
Power sources  
Hybrid Feedback Digital Amplifier  
RX-D701S/RX-D702B features the JVC-exclusive Hybrid  
Feedback Digital Amplifier. Premium-grade parts and devices,  
and special internal construction assure you will enjoy superior  
sound.  
• 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.  
USB WIRELESS  
Ventilation  
By using the USB wireless transmitter supplied with RX-D701S/  
RX-D702B, sound reproduced from your PC can be transmitted  
to this receiver.You can choose PC as another playback source  
for RX-D701S/RX-D702B.  
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.)  
Compatible with HDMI*  
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 enjoy digital video  
and sound without AD/DA conversion with easy connection.  
As RX-D701S/RX-D702B supports up to HDMI version 1.1, this  
receiver can digitally transmit 5.1-channel PCM with sampling  
rates of 96 kHz and 2-channel PCM with sampling rates of 192  
kHz. (These PCM signals are referred to as “multi channel  
PCM” in this instruction.) 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 a HDCP-  
compatible TV to this receiver.  
Others  
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall onto the unit, unplug the  
unit 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 top of this receiver.  
• Do not disassemble the unit since there are no user serviceable  
parts inside.  
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult  
your JVC dealer.

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.  
K2 Technology  
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.  
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.  
DCDi technology  
DCDi (Directional Correlational Deinterlacing) technology,  
developed by Faroudja, eliminates jagged edges generated in  
progressive scan conversion. With DCDi, you can enjoy clear  
and smooth video images on your display. For RX-D701S/RX-  
D702B, this function is applied only when the PAL analogue  
video signals are transmitted to the receiver.

1 Press and slide the battery cover on the back  
Before Installation  
of the remote control.  
2 Insert batteries.  
General precautions  
• Be sure your hands are dry.  
Turn the power off to all components.  
• Read the manuals supplied with the components you are going  
to connect.  
Make sure to match the polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).  
3 Replace the cover.  
If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases,  
replace the batteries. Use two R6(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell  
batteries.  
Locations  
• Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from  
moisture and dust.  
• Supplied butteries are for initial setup. Replace for continued  
use.  
• The temperature around the receiver must be between –5˚C  
and 35˚C.  
CAUTION:  
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor  
ventilation could cause overheating and damage the receiver.  
• Leave sufficient distance between the receiver and the TV.  
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.  
Handling the receiver  
• Do not insert any metal object into the receiver.  
• Do not disassemble the receiver or remove screws, covers, or  
cabinet.  
• Do not expose the receiver to rain or moisture.  
• 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.  
When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at  
the remote sensor on the front panel.  
• When you are away on travel or otherwise for an extended  
period or time, remove the plug from the wall outlet. A small  
amount of power is always consumed while the power cord is  
connected to the wall outlet.

2. Select [System] = [Hardware] = [Device Manager] =  
[Sound, video and game controllers] = [Universal Serial  
Bus controllers].  
For USB TERMINAL  
– select “USB TERMINALas the source.  
– connect the USB cable correctly.  
The following window appears, and you can check whether  
the drivers are installed.  
NOTES  
• DO NOT turn off the receiver or disconnect the transmitter or  
the USB cable while installing the drivers and for several  
seconds while your PC is recognizing the receiver.  
• If your PC does not recognize the receiver, disconnect the  
transmitter or the USB cable and connect it again. If it does not  
work yet, restart Windows.  
• The installed drivers can be recognized only when the  
transmitter is connected to your PC or the USB cable is  
connected between the receiver and your PC.  
• The sound may not be played back correctly—interrupted or  
degraded—due to your PC settings and PC specifications.  
• In case that the transmitter has an influence on the wireless  
systems (based on IEEE 802.11b/11g, the cordless telephone,  
and the microwave oven), try measures below:  
– press CHANNEL on the transmitter to search for another  
frequency. Each time you press CHANNEL, the frequency  
advances one channel up from CH 1 up to CH 13.  
– press and hold CHANNEL for more than three seconds to  
make sure the transmitter detects the best frequency  
automatically.  
– to keep the distance between the transmitter and the LAN  
antenna utilize the supplied extension cord.

After installation is completed, you can use your PC as the  
playback source. The PC automatically recognizes the receiver  
whenever the transmitter is connected to the PC or the USB cable  
is connected between the PC and the receiver while the receiver  
is turned on.  
• When not using the PC as the playback source, disconnect the  
transmitter or the USB cable.  
To play back sounds on the PC, refer to the manuals supplied  
with the sound reproduction application installed in the PC. Start  
the application after the USB device is recognized.  
When playing back with USB WIRELESS, connect the  
transmitter and aim the transmitter at the antenna. If any  
obstacles are in between, playback will be interrupted or the  
wireless communication will be canceled.  
If noise comes during playback or playback is interrupted  
with USB WIRELESS, try measures below:  
– press CHANNEL on the transmitter to search for another  
frequency. Each time you press CHANNEL, the frequency  
advances one channel up from CH 1 up to CH 13.  
– press and hold CHANNEL for more than three seconds to make  
sure the transmitter detects the best frequency automatically.

• “CROSSOVER: 100Hz” is shown as “CROSS <100Hz>” on the display.

Introducing the Surround modes  
Dolby Digital*  
Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed by  
Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and  
decoding.  
Creating realistic  
sound fields  
• 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).  
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.  
Reproducing theatre ambience  
In a movie theatre, many speakers are located on the walls to  
reproduce impressive multi-channel sound, reaching you from all  
directions.  
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 theatre.  
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.  
Dolby Surround  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
Dolby Pro Logic II is a multi-channel playback format 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

DTS Neo:6  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx is a newly introduced multi-channel playback  
format 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

no loss of sound quality) and the surround  
signals transmitted through the other speakers  
expand the sound field naturally.  
PLIIx MUSIC Suitable for playing any 2-channel stereo  
software.You can enjoy wide and deep 7.1-

When using Surround mode, the sounds come out of the  
activated speakers which the Surround mode requires.  
To enjoy software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the  
source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this  
receiver. (See page 16.)  
• If either “SURROUND SPK” or “CENTER SPK” is set to “NO”  
in the speaker setting (see page 28), 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 28), 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**  
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).  
• When DTS signal is detected through the digital input, the  
indicator lights up on the display.  
DTS Digital Surround  
DTS Digital Surround (DTS) is another 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.  
About other digital signals  
Linear PCM  
Uncompressed digital audio data used for DVDs, CDs, and  
Video CDs.  
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.  
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.  
Multi channel PCM  
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-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.  
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 bits.  
• When Multi channel PCM signal is detected, the LINEAR  
PCM indicator lights up and “MULTI CH PCM” appears on  
the display for a while.  
Dual Mono  
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 analogue 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.  
DTS 96/24  
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.  
You can select either channel you want to listen to (see  
page 30).  
• When DTS 96/24 signal is detected, the  
and 96/24  
indicators light up.You can enjoy its 5.1-channel sound with full-  
quality.

When using the DAP mode, the sounds come out of all the  
connected and activated speakers.  
Introducing the DSP modes  
• If “SURROUND SPK” is set to “NO” in the speaker setting  
(see page 28), JVC’s original 3D-PHONIC processing (which  
has been developed to create the surround effect through the  
front speakers only) is used.  
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.

and 2-channel digital signals including Dual Mono signal), you can  
use this mode.  
The surround effect will be added, and the sound localization of  
actor’s words will be improved.

(see page 28), 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.  
• 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.
