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
THX Ultra2 certified
THX Ultra2 standard ensures the highest sound and picture
quality and the most reliable performance by using seven-channel
amplification to reproduce multi-channel software. In THX Ultra2
Cinema Mode and THX Music Mode, all multi-channel software
(5.1 channels or more) is automatically detected and proper
processing is applied to improve directional and ambient surround
information through four surround speakers--two at the side and
two at the back.
Compatible with various audio formats including
DTS 96/24
RX-DP15B allows you to enjoy audio formats such as Dolby
Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS-ES, DTS Neo:6, and DTS
96/24.
· This unit is also compatible with Dual Mono signals recorded in
Dolby Digital and DTS discs.
7.1 channel 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 7.1-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. You can enjoy a natural surround sound
through the headphones.
192 kHz/24 bit PEM DD audio DA converter
The JVC-exclusive converter is now upgraded to be fully
compatible with DVD Audio's high specifications. Subtle nuances
are accurately reproduced.
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 bitquantization 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.
Multi-room operations
You can connect two pairs of front speakers to the RX-DP15B,
and use them to listen to different sources in different rooms
(Zone 1 and Zone 2) at the same time.
COMPU LINK/TEXT COMPU LINK/AV COMPU
LINK remote control systems
These COMPU LINK remote control systems allow you to
operate other JVC 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.
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. (Stopping the
sound suddenly may surprise people as well.)
· 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, set the
BAND selectors both on the rear and on the remote control to
another band (either BAND 1 or BAND 2)--see page 17 for
details.
If the problem still persists, stop using the RF rod antenna and the
remote control, and consult your JVC dealer or the nearest JVC
Service Center.
Ventilation
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.)
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.
