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
The newly introduced 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 newly developed 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-DP20VSL allows you to enjoy newly introduced 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 (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 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.
ZIST (Zero Interference audio Signal
Transmission) circuit
The ZIST circuit incorporated for the EXT 7.1 CH IN (input)
jacks successfully eliminates the video signal interference to the
audio signals by making the cold side of the audio signals
completely independent from the ground.
COMPU LINK remote control system
The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate
other JVC audio/video 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.
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.
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.

AM (MW/LW) Antenna Connections Connecting the Speakers
For full enjoyment of the THX modes (see page 45), it is
recommended to use THX-certified speakers.
You can connect the following speakers:
•Two pairs of front speakers to produce normal stereo sound.
•One pair of surround speakers to produce a three-dimensional
sound movement and environmental background-effect sounds.
•One or one pair of surround back speakers to enjoy 6.1-channel or
7.1-channel sound reproduction. A pair of the speakers is required
to use THX Ultra2 Cinema and THX Music modes.
•One center speaker to produce a rich sound image by stabilizing
the sound localization (also used to emphasize human voices).
•One powered subwoofer to enhance the bass and to reproduce the
LFE channel recorded in multi-channel software.
For each speaker (except for a subwoofer), connect the (+) and (–)
terminals on the rear panel to the (+) and (–) terminals marked on
the speakers. For connecting a subwoofer, see page 10.
CAUTIONS:
Use only the speakers of the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by
the speaker terminals.
•When connecting to both of the FRONT 1 and FRONT 2
SPEAKERS terminals, use speakers with an impedance of
8 Ωto 16 Ω.
•When connecting to either the FRONT 1 or FRONT 2
SPEAKERS terminals, use speakers with an impedance of
4 Ωto 16 Ω.
Basic connecting procedure
1 Cut, twist, and remove the insulation at the end of
each speaker signal cable (not supplied).
2 Turn the knob counterclockwise.
3 Insert the speaker signal cable.
4 Turn the knob clockwise.
Continued on the next page.
Outdoor single vinyl-covered wire (not supplied)
Turn the loop until you
have the best reception.
Notes:
•If the AM (MW/LW) loop antenna wire is covered with
vinyl, remove the vinyl by twisting it as shown in the
diagram.
•Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any
other terminals, connecting cords and power cord. This could
cause poor reception.
•If reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinyl-covered wire to
the AM EXT terminal. Keep the AM (MW/LW) loop antenna
connected.

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 unit can adjust the
delay time so that the sounds through all the speakers reach the
listener with the same timing. (See page 34.)
Front speakers and center speaker
•Place these speakers (position of the mid-range speaker units) at
the same height from the floor.
•Place these speakers aiming at the listener’s ears.
Surround and surround back speakers
•Place these speakers at a position which is 1 meter higher than
the listener’s ears.
•Point these speakers down aiming at the listener’s ears.

External 7.1-channel
output component
IMPORTANT:
This receiver is equipped with the following video jacks—composite
video, S-video and component video jacks. You can use any of the
three to connect a video component.
However, observe the following points when make connections:
•Composite video signals and S-video signals can be converted
into each other, and can be also converted into component
signals. So incoming signals of both types can be emitted through
all video output jacks. (If both signals are used, the unit
automatically gives priority to S-video signals.)
—Pictures may be distorted if the signals are converted. If this
happens, connect the playback source component and TV using
the cords of the same type.
•When the recording components and this unit are connected
using the video cords or S-video cords, playback components
and this unit need to be connected using the cords of the same
type.
•Component signals cannot be converted. So incoming signals of
this type can be emitted only through the component output jacks.

Note:
The ZIST circuit (see page 1) is incorporated for the EXT 7.1CH IN jacks
to clarify the audio signals independently from the video input circuit.
However, if the external component connected to the EXT 7.1CH IN jacks
and this receiver are not connected using video cords (composite, S-
video, or component), noise may happen to be generated when listening
to this external component.
In this case, connect the video output jacks on the external component
and unused video input jacks on this receiver.

How to view the pictures through an external component
connected to the EXT 7.1CH IN (audio input) jacks
The EXT 7.1CH IN jacks do not have any corresponding video input
jack on the rear. You have to use one of the following methods to
view the pictures through the external component.
•Connect the video output jack on the external component directly
to the TV, and select the connected input on the TV.
•Connect the video output jack on the external component to any
one of unused video input jacks on the rear, then...
1. Select that video input as the video source.
2. Select “EXT 7.1CH”as the audio source.
(See “Selecting different sources for picture and sound”on page 20).
Video component connections
Use cables with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).
Connect the white plug to the audio left jack, the red plug to the audio
right jack, and the yellow plug to the video jack.
•If your video components have S-video (Y/C-separation) and/or
component video (Y, PB, PR) jacks, connect them using an S-video
cable (not supplied) and/or component video cable (not supplied). By
using these jacks, you can get better picture quality—in the order:
Component video > S-video > Composite video.
