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 Decoder Incorporated
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.
Compatible with DTS Digital Surround
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.
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.
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 IR 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.
TEXT COMPU LINK Remote Control System
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.
AV COMPU LINK Remote Control System
The AV COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to
operate other JVC 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.
Multi-room operations
· 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.)
· 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.
Others
· 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.
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your
JVC dealer.
