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 Surround EX (DTS-ES compatible)
THX Surround EX is a format that has additional left and right
surround back channels on the basis of Dolby Digital 5.1
channels. It improves the definition and the sense of sound
movement in surround (rear) channels.
• This receiver is also compatible with DTS Extended Surround
(DTS-ES)—another multichannel surround containing
additional left and right surround back channels.
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 multichannel software.
Multichannel headphone virtual surround
sound—3D HEADPHONE
The built-in headphone virtual surround system is compatible with
multichannel 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.
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.
CC (Compensative Compression) 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 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-DP10VBK, 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/learning 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 signals sent
from the remote control to operate the receiver. In addition, the
supplied IR signal transmitter can transmit IR signals which can
control other video components.
• The remote control provided for this receiver can transmit
control signals for many manufacturers’ components, and can
learn and store any signals.
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 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 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 15 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
Seven high power amplifiers built in this receiver will generate heat
inside the cabinet. When the temperature inside the cabinet
increases, the internal fan automatically starts rotating to reduce the
internal temperature. 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 theAC power cord and consult your
JVC dealer.

Setting Up the RF Rod Antenna
The remote control supplied for this receiver can transmit both RF
(Radio Frequency) signal as well as IR (infrared) signal. 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 (50 feet) 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.
• 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.
• 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.
To set up the RF rod antenna
1. Insert the RF rod antenna to the RF REMOTE
ANTENNA terminal.
2. Rotate the fixing nut to attach the RF rod
antenna firmly.
Notes:
• 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.
• 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).
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.
The RF rod antenna and IR signal Transmitter
The combination of the RF rod antenna and the IR signal transmitter
(below) allows you to use the Multi-room function more
conveniently.
The remote control supplied for this receiver can transmit both RF
signal 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 sensor on
the other components through IR signal transmitter.
This means that you can control not only this receiver but also the
other components from the sub-room.
Setting Up the IR Signal Transmitter
The IR signal transmitter can transmit the IR signals.
It allows you to use theAV COMPU LINK system, and to operate
other manufacturers’components without aiming the remote control
directly at the remote sensor 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.
To set up the IR signal transmitter
1. Find the place where you attach the IR signal
transmitter.
• Place it where the signal can reach the remote sensor of the
target components directly (in the 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.

Connecting the Power Cord
Before plugging the receiver into an AC outlet, make sure that all
connections have been made.
Plug the power cord into anAC outlet.
Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables and the
antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference.
We recommend that you use a coaxial cable to connect the antenna,
since it is well-shielded against interference.
Note:
The preset settings such as preset channels and sound adjustment
may be erased in a few days in the following cases:
– When you unplug the power cord.
– When a power failure occurs.
CAUTIONS:
• Do not touch the power cord with wet hands.
• Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the cord.
When unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to
damage the cord.
Putting Batteries in the Remote Control
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 LR6(AM3)/L40(15A) type
dry-cell batteries.
• When the remote control transmits a signal, the signal
transmission indicator on the remote’s display lights up.
Notes:
• If 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
(23 feet).
• When replacing the batteries, finish it without delay;otherwise, the
stored signals are all erased (see pages 67 and 71).
When using the remote control in
the dark
Press LIGHT.
The buttons on the remote control are backlit while you are using
the remote control.
If you do not press any button for about 5 seconds, the backlight
will turn off.
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.
