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
Dolby Digital EX*
Dolby Digital EX is newly introduced surround encoding format
as an extension of multi-channel Dolby Digital, designed to add
an extra surround channel to Dolby Digital 5.1-channel. By using
a matrix encoding/decoding method, additional "surround back"
channel signal is encoded (and decoded) in both the left and right
surround channel signals.
DTS-ES Extended Surround (DTS-ES)**
DTS-ES is another new format developed by Digital Theater
Systems, Inc., adding a surround back channel on the basis of
DTS Digital Surround.
Dolby Pro Logic II*
Dolby Pro Logic II converts all 2-channel stereo software,
especially Dolby Surround encoded software, into 5-channel
(plus subwoofer) signals. It reproduces realistic Surround sounds
approaching to Dolby Digital 5.1-channel. Dolby Pro Logic II has
two modes to reproduce--Movie mode and Music mode.
Neo:6**
Neo:6 can reproduce realistic Surround fields by converting
2-channel stereo software into 6-channel (plus subwoofer) signals.
Neo:6 has two modes to reproduce--Neo:6 Cinema and Neo:6
Music.
DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor)
Sound field simulation technology allows precise ambience
recreation of existing theaters and halls. Thanks to the high-
performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and high-capacity
memory, you can enjoy 5.1-channel surround by playing
2-channel or multi-channel software.
Multi-channel headphone virtual surround
sound--3D HEADPHONE
The built-in headphone virtual surround system is compatible with
Multi-channel software like Dolby Digital, DTS Surround, etc.
Thanks to the new signal processing algorithms used by the high-
performance DSP, you can enjoy a natural surround sound through
the headphones.
COMPU LINK/TEXT COMPU LINK/AV COMPU
LINK remote control systems
These COMPU LINK remote control systems allow you to
operate other JVC's audio/video components from 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.
Ventilation
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.)
Others
· Should any metallic object or liquid fall onto the unit, unplug the
unit and consult your dealer before operating any further.
· Do not expose this apparatus to rain, moisture, dripping or
splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases
shall be placed on the apparatus.
· 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.
