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

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.

(See page 23 for details.)

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.

Compatible with various audio formats including

Dolby Pro Logic IIx

This receiver allows you to enjoy audio formats such as Dolby

Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS-ES, DTS Neo:6, and DTS

96/24.

· This receiver is also compatible with Dual Mono signals

recorded in Dolby Digital and DTS discs.

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 multi-channel surround sound by playing

2-channel or multi-channel software according to the speaker

setting.

Multi-channel headphone virtual surround

sound--3D Headphone mode

The built-in headphone virtual surround system is compatible with

multi-channel software like Dolby Digital, DTS, etc. Thanks to

the signal processing algorithms used by the high-performance

DSP, you can enjoy a natural surround sound through the

headphones.

Multi-room operations

You can connect two pairs of front speakers to this receiver, and

use them to listen to different sources in different rooms (Zone 1

and Zone 2) at the same time.

COMPU LINK/AV COMPU LINK remote control

systems

These functions allow you to operate other JVC's audio/video

components from this receiver.

Precautions

General

· 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.

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.

Multi-room operations

· Do not use the remote control outdoors or install the speakers

outdoors.

· When operating the receiver from a 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 too 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.)

· If the receiver operates by itself or malfunctions, the following

causes should 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

of its buttons.

· 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 happens, stop using

the RF rod antenna and the remote control, and consult your JVC

dealer or the nearest JVC Service Center.

Location

· Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from

moisture and dust.

· The temperature around the receiver must be between 5°C and

35°C.

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

· Do not insert any metal object into the receiver.

· 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 receiver or remove screws, covers, or

cabinet.

If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your

JVC dealer.
