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.

Placing speakers
Front speakers (L/R) and center speaker (C)
• Place these speakers at the same height from the floor, at or near
ear level.
• Array across the front of the viewing area.
Surround speakers (LS/RS) and surround back speakers (SB)
• Place these speakers at a position which is 60 cm to 90 cm higher
than the listener’s ears.
• Point these speakers directly across the listening area, but not at
the listener’s ears.
Subwoofer
• You can place it wherever you like since bass sound is non-
directional. Normally place it in front of you.
Note:
Ideal speaker layout requires that all speakers be placed at the
same distance from the listener. However, since in some places it
may be difficult to fulfil this requirement, this receiver can adjust the
delay time so that the sounds through all the speakers reach the
listener with the same timing. (See page 35.)

Connecting the RF Rod Antenna and
IR Signal Transmitter
The combination of the RF rod antenna and the IR signal transmitter
allows you to use the multi-room function more conveniently.
The remote control supplied with this receiver can transmit both RF
and IR signal at the same time. This receiver catches the RF signals
emitted from the remote control, and converts them into IR signals,
then transmits the converted signals to the remote sensors on the
other components through the IR signal transmitter.
This means that you can control not only this receiver but also other
components from Zone 2.
Setting up the RF rod antenna
The remote control supplied with this receiver can transmit RF
(Radio Frequency) signals as well as IR (infrared) signals. The RF
rod antenna can receive the RF signals emitted from the remote
control. So, with the RF rod antenna connected, you can operate the
receiver at a distance of up to 15 m using RF signals sent from this
receiver (more than twice as far as when using IR signals).
Moreover, RF signals can go through walls and other objects in the
house so you need not aim at the receiver directly.
However, if the antenna cannot receive signals stably, you cannot
operate the receiver correctly.
• Without the RF rod antenna connected, you can operate the
receiver with the remote control, aiming the remote control
directly at the remote sensor on the receiver.
1. Insert the RF rod antenna onto the RF REMOTE
ANTENNA terminal.
2. Rotate the fixing nut to attach the RF rod
antenna firmly.

Notes:
•The signal-reachable distance may differ depending on the
operating conditions and circumstances. To improve transmitting
conditions, change the distance to the receiver and the direction to
transmit while operating the remote control.
•To avoid a failure in the reception from the remote control, keep the
connecting cables and the IR signal transmitter’s cable away from
the RF rod antenna.
Setting up the IR signal transmitter
The IR signal transmitter can retransmit the IR signals. The
transmitter allows you to use the AV COMPULINK remote control
system, and to operate other manufacturers’ components without
aiming the remote control directly at the remote sensors on the target
components. In addition, the IR signal transmitter reduces the
possibility of malfunction.
• The IR signal transmitter may not operate the target components
depending on the operating conditions and circumstances—
including the aiming angle and direction of the IR signal
transmitter at the remote sensors of the target components. If this
occurs, changing its aiming angle and direction at the remote
sensors may solve the problem.
1. Find a place where you can attach the IR signal
transmitter.
• Place the transmitter where the signal can reach the remote
sensor of the target components in a direct line of sight.
• If the cord length of the IR signal transmitter is not long
enough, use an extension cord (not supplied).
2. Attach the double-sided adhesive tape (supplied)
to the IR signal transmitter.
3. Connect the plug of the transmitter to the IR OUT
terminal of the receiver and attach the transmitter.

Before using the remote control, insert the two supplied batteries
first.
1. On the back of the remote control, remove the
battery cover.
2. Insert the batteries.
• Make sure to match the polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
3. Replace the cover.
If the remote control cannot transmit signals or operate the receiver
correctly, replace the batteries. Use two R6(SUM3)/AA(15F) type
(alkaline) dry-cell batteries.
Notes:
•When you aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the
receiver, you can operate the receiver at a distance of up to 7 m.
•After replacing the batteries, set the manufacturers’codes again
(see pages from 59 to 62).
CAUTIONS:
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.
