Getting Started
Putting Batteries in the Remote Control
Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.
•When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at
the remote sensor on the unit.
1 On the back of the remote control, remove the
battery cover.
2 Insert batteries. Make sure to match the polarity:
(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
3 Replace the cover.
If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace
the batteries. Use two R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell batteries.
CAUTION:
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.
Before Installation
General Precautions
•DO NOT insert any metal object into the unit.
•DO NOT disassemble the unit or remove screws, covers, or
cabinet.
•DO NOT expose the unit to rain or moisture.
Locations
•Install the unit in a location that is level and protected from
moisture.
•The temperature around the unit must be between –5˚C and 35˚C
(23˚F and 95˚F).
•Make sure there is good ventilation around the unit. Poor
ventilation could cause overheating and damage the unit.
Handling the unit
•DO NOT touch the power cord with wet hands.
•DO NOT pull on the power cord to unplug it. When unplugging
the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage the cord.
•Keep the power cord away from the connecting cords and the
antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. It
is recommended to use a coaxial cable for antenna connection,
since it is well-shielded against interference.
•When a power failure occurs, or when you unplug the power cord,
the preset settings such as preset FM or AM channels and sound
adjustments may be erased in a few days.
Checking the Supplied Accessories
Check to be sure you have all of the following supplied accessories.
The number in the parentheses indicates the quantity of the pieces
supplied.
•Remote Control (1)
•Batteries (2)
•AM Loop Antenna (1)
•FM Antenna (1)
•Composite Video Cord (1)
If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.

1 Remove the insulation if the AM loop antenna
wire is covered with vinyl.
2 Press and hold the clamp of the terminal (1),
then insert the wire (2).
3 Release the clamp.
Turn the loop until you have the best reception.
•If the reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinyl-

AM loop antenna connected.
FM antenna connection
Connect the FM antenna supplied to the FM 75 ΩCOAXIAL
terminal as temporary measure.
Extend the supplied FM antenna horizontally.
•If the reception is poor, connect an outdoor FM antenna (not
supplied). Before attaching a 75 Ωcoaxial cable (with a
standard type connector), disconnect the supplied FM antenna.
Note:
•Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other
terminals, connecting cords and power cord. This could cause poor
reception.

speaker terminals (8 –16 Ω).
•DO NOT connect more than one speaker to one speaker terminal.
Connecting the front, center, and rear speakers
For each speaker, connect the (+) and (–) terminals on the rear panel
to the (+) and (–) terminals marked on the speakers respectively.
1 Cut, twist and remove the insulation at the end of
each speaker cord (not supplied).

Connecting the subwoofer speaker
By connecting a subwoofer, you can enhance the bass or reproduce
the original LFE signals recorded in the digital software.

WOOFER OUT jack on the rear panel, using a cable with RCA pin
plugs (not supplied).
•Refer also to the manual supplied with your subwoofer.

Attenuating the Input Signal
When the input level of the analog source is too high, the sounds
will be distorted. If this happens, you need to attenuate the input
signal level to prevent the sound distortion.
•You have to make this adjustment for each analog source.
Press and hold INPUT ATT. (INPUT ANALOG/
DIGITAL) until the INPUT ATT indicator lights up
on the display.
•Each time you press and hold the button, the Input Attenuator
turns on (“ATT ON”) or off (“ATT NORMAL”*).

ATT NORMAL : Normally select this. The analog sound is not
attenuated.
ATT ON : Select this when the analog sound is
distorted.
Notes:
•Some progressive TVs and High-Definition TVs are not fully
compatible with this system. When a DVD VIDEO is played back in
the progressive scanning mode on those TVs, the unnatural picture
may be in a result. In such a case, change the scanning mode to
“INTERLACE.”To check the compatibility of your TV, contact your
dealer. All JVC progressive TVs and High-Definition TVs are fully
compatible with this system respectively.
•When you select “PROGRESSIVE”as the scanning mode, the
picture does not come out correctly through composite video and
S-video jacks.
* 480p and 480i indicate the number of scanning lines and scanning
format of an image signal.

–480i indicates 480 scanning lines with interlaced format.
Activating the Recording Mode
When you play back the multichannel sources, Recording mode
enables you to record the sounds without missing surround elements
by down-mixing the center and rear channel signals into the front
channel signals.
•When the multichannel software is played back with Recording
mode activated, the sounds are down-mixed and come out through
the front speakers only.
Press and hold REC MODE (SURROUND MODE)
until “RECMODE ON”appears on the display.
•Each time you press and hold the button, Recording mode is
activated (“RECMODE ON”) and deactivated
(“RECMODE OFF”*) alternately.
*“RECMODE OFF”is the initial setting.
RECMODE OFF : Normally select this. The down-mixing is
canceled.
RECMODE ON : Select this for recording the down-mixed
sounds.
When recording with VCR:
You can record the picture on your video tape without the volume
level indication when Recording mode is activated.
•When you do not want to record the on-screen guide icons, see
page 52.
•The choice menu and on-screen bar are always recorded when
they appears on the TV.
