Setting the speaker distance
The distance from your listening point to the speakers is one of
the important elements to obtain the best possible sound effect
from the Surround/DSP modes.
By referring to the speaker distance, the receiver automatically
sets the delay time of the sound through each speaker so that
sounds through all the speakers can reach you at the same time.
• If you have used Smart Surround Setup on page 14, this setting
is not required.
7 Measuring unit—DIST UNIT
Select which measuring unit you use.
UNIT :meter

Select to set the distance in meters.

UNIT : feet

SURR R DIST (for the right surround speaker)

Setting bass sound
Setting subwoofer output—SUBWFR OUT
You can select the type of the signal which can be transmitted
through the subwoofer. In other words, you can determine
whether or not the bass elements of the front speaker channels
are transmitted through the subwoofer regardless of the front
speaker size setting (either “SML” or “LRG”).

Select to emit only the LFE signals (while
playing Dolby Digital and DTS software) or
the bass elements of the “SML (small)” front
speakers (while playing any source other than
above).

SW:LFE+MAIN

Select to always emit the bass elements of
the front speaker channels (MAIN). While
playing Dolby Digital and DTS software, the
bass elements and the LFE signals are both
emitted.

Initial setting: SW: LFE

Adjustable range: 0.3 m to 9.0 m in 0.3 m intervals
(1 ft to 30 ft in 1 ft intervals)
Initial setting: 3.0 m (10 ft) for all speakers

Small speakers cannot reproduce the bass sounds efficiently. If
you use a small speaker in any position, this receiver
automatically reallocates the bass sound elements assigned to
the small speaker to the large speakers.
To use this function properly, set this crossover frequency level
according to the size of the small speaker connected.
• If you have selected “LRG (large)” for all speakers (see page
16), this function will not take effect (“CROSS: OFF” appears).

RDS allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with
their regular program signals. For example, the stations send their
station names, as well as information about what type of program
they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.

While searching, “RT” appears and then text messages the
station sends will be displayed. “NO RT” appears if no signal is
sent.

Searching for a program by PTY

Creating realistic
sound fields

Introducing the Surround modes
■ Dolby Digital*
Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed by
Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and
decoding (1ch up to 5.1ch).
• When Dolby Digital signal is detected through the digital input,
the DOLBY D indicator lights up on the display.

Dolby Digital 5.1CH

Reproducing theatre ambience
In a movie theatre, many speakers are located on the walls to
reproduce impressive multi-surround sound, reaching you from all
directions.
With these many speakers, sound localization and sound
movement can be expressed.
Surround/DSP modes built in this receiver can create almost the
same Surround sound as you can feel in a real movie theatre.

Dolby Digital 5.1CH (DOLBY D) encoding method records and
digitally compresses the left front channel, right front channel,
center channel, left surround channel, right surround channel, and
LFE channel signals (total 6 channels, but the LFE channel is
counted as 0.1 channel. Therefore, called 5.1 channel).
Dolby Digital enables stereo surround sounds, and sets the cutoff
frequency of the surround treble at 20 kHz, compared to 7 kHz for
Dolby Pro Logic. As such, the sound movement and “being-there”
feeling are enhanced much more than Dolby Pro Logic.
Another digital surround encoding format introduced by Dolby
Laboratories is Dolby Digital EX, which adds the third surround
channels, called “surround back.”
Compared to the conventional Dolby Digital 5.1CH, these newly
added surround back channels can reproduce more detailed
movements behind you while viewing the video software. In
addition, surround sound localization will become more stable.
• You can use Virtual Surround Back (see page 18) when playing
back Dolby Digital Surround EX software. This function creates
the great surround effect from the behind as if you have
connected the surround back speaker. The VIRTUAL SB
indicator lights up on the display.

Dolby Pro Logic II

PLII MOVIE:

Suitable for playing any Dolby Surround encoded
software. You can enjoy a sound field very close
to the one created with discrete 5.1-channel
sounds.

PLII MUSIC:

Suitable for playing any 2-channel stereo
software. You can enjoy wide and deep sounds.

• To enjoy software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the
source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this
receiver. (See page 9.)

Creating realistic sound fields

Dolby Pro Logic II is a multi-channel playback format to convert 2channel software into 5-channel (plus subwoofer). The matrixbased conversion method used for Dolby Pro Logic II makes no
limitation for the cutoff frequency of the surround treble and
enables stereo surround sound.
• This receiver provides two types of Dolby Pro Logic II modes—
Pro Logic II Movie (PLII MOVIE) and Pro Logic II Music (PLII
MUSIC).
When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the
indicator lights
up on the display.

■ DTS**
DTS is another digital signal compression method, developed by
Digital Theater Systems, Inc., and enables multi-channel
encoding and decoding (1ch up to 6.1ch).
• When DTS signal is detected through the digital input, the DTS
indicator lights up on the display.

DTS Digital Surround
DTS Digital Surround (DTS) is another discrete 5.1 channel digital
audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software.
Compared to Dolby Digital, the DTS Digital Surround format has a
lower audio compression rate which enables it to add breadth and
depth to the sounds reproduced. As such, DTS Digital Surround
features natural, solid, and clear sound.
Another multi-channel digital surround encoding format introduced
by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. is DTS Extended Surround
(DTS-ES).
It greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and
space expression by adding the third surround channel—surround
back channel.
DTS-ES includes two signal formats with different surround signal
recording methods—DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch and DTS-ES Matrix
6.1ch.
• You can use the Virtual Surround Back (see page 18) when
playing back DTS-ES software. This function creates the great
surround effect from the behind as if you have connected the
surround back speaker. The VIRTUAL SB indicator lights up on
the display.

DTS 96/24
In recent years, there has been increasing interest in higher
sampling rates both for recording and for reproducing at home.
Higher sampling rates allow wider frequency range and greater bit
depths provide extended dynamic range.
DTS 96/24 is a multi-channel digital signal format (fs 96 kHz/24
bits) introduced by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. to deliver “betterthan-CD sound quality” into the home.
• When DTS 96/24 signal is detected, the DTS and 96/24
indicators light up. You can enjoy its 5.1-channel sound with fullquality.

• If either the surround speakers or center speaker is set to
“NO” in the speaker setting (see page 16), the corresponding
channel signals are allocated to and emitted through the front
speakers.
• If both the surround speakers and center speaker are set to
“NO” in the speaker setting (see page 16), JVC’s original 3DPHONIC processing (which has been developed to create the
surround effect through the front speakers only) is used. The 3D
indicator lights up on the display.

3D HEADPHONE mode
If you connect a pair of headphones while one of the Surround
modes is in use, the 3D HEADPHONE mode is activated
without respect to the type of software played back.
“3DHEADPHONE” appears on the display and the DSP, 3D,
and HP indicators light up.

About other digital signals
Linear PCM
Uncompressed digital audio data used for DVDs, CDs, and
Video CDs.
DVDs support 2 channels with sampling rates of 48/96 kHz,
at quantization of 16/20/24 bits. On the other hand, CDs and
Video CDs are limited to 2 channels with 44.1 kHz at 16 bits.
• When Linear PCM signal is detected, the LPCM indicator
lights up.
Dual Mono
Dual Mono can be easily understood when you think of the
bilingual broadcast for TV programs (however, the Dual Mono
format is not identical with those analogue formats).
This format is now adopted in Dolby Digital, DTS, and so on.
It allows two independent channels (called main channel and
sub-channel) to be recorded separately.
• You can select either channel you want to listen to (see
page 18).

Creating realistic sound fields

**“DTS” and “DTS 96/24” are trademarks of Digital Theater
Systems, Inc.

When using Surround mode, the sounds come out of the
activated speakers which the Surround mode requires.

Introducing the DSP modes
The sound heard in a concert hall, club, etc. consists of direct
sound and indirect sound—early reflections and reflections from
behind. Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any
reflection. On the other hand, indirect sounds are delayed by the
distances of the ceiling and walls. These direct sounds and
indirect sounds are the most important elements of the acoustic
surround effects.
The DSP modes can create these important elements, and give
you a real “being there” feeling.

Reflections from behind
Early reflections

When using the DAP mode, the sounds come out of all the
connected and activated speakers.
• If the surround speakers are set to “NO” in the speaker
setting (see page 16), JVC’s original 3D-PHONIC processing
(which has been developed to create the surround effect
through the front speakers only) is used.
The 3D indicator lights up on the display.

■ MONO FILM
In order to reproduce a more acoustic sound field in your listening
room while viewing monaural sound video software (analogue
and 2-channel digital signals including Dual Mono signal), you can
use this mode.
The surround effect will be added, and the sound localization of
actor’s words will be improved.
This mode cannot be used for multi-channel digital signals.

Direct sounds
The DSP modes include the following modes:
• Digital Acoustic Processor (DAP) modes—HALL1, HALL2, LIVE
CLUB, DANCE CLUB, PAVILION, THEATRE1, THEATRE2
• MONO FILM—Used for all types of 2-channel signals (including
Dual Mono signal)
• All Channel Stereo mode (ALL CH ST.)

When “MONO FILM” is used, sounds come out of all the
connected (and activated) speakers.
• If the surround speakers are set to “NO” in the speaker
setting (see page 16), JVC’s original 3D-PHONIC processing
(which has been developed to create the surround effect
through the front speakers only) is used.
The 3D indicator lights up on the display.
• If incoming signals change from 2-channel digital signal to
another digital signal type, “MONO FILM” is canceled and an
appropriate Surround mode is activated.

■ All Channel Stereo mode (ALL CH ST.)
This mode can reproduce a larger stereo sound field using all the
connected (and activated) speakers. This mode cannot be used
without activating the surround speakers.

When one of the DSP modes is activated, the DSP indicator lights
up on the display.

■ Digital Acoustic Processor (DAP) modes
You can use the following DAP modes in order to reproduce a
more acoustic sound field in your listening room.
Reproduces the spatial feeling of a large
shoebox-shaped hall designed primarily for
classical concerts. (Its seating capacity is about

Bass sound is reinforced too much when listening in stereo.

Troubleshooting

\ Adjust audio position level (see page 12).
Sounds are intermittently distorted by the outside noise such
as a lightning discharge.
\ When you use the digital coaxial connection, the sounds
may be intermittently distorted by the outside noise such as
a lightning discharge but the sound will be restored
automatically. This is not a malfunction.

Use this chart to help you solve daily operational problems. If
there are any problems you cannot solve, contact your JVC’s
service center.

Power
The power does not come on.
\ The power cord is not plugged in. Plug the power cord into
an AC outlet.
The receiver turns off (enters standby mode).
\ Speakers are overloaded because of high volume.
1. Stop the playback source.
2. Turn on the receiver again, then turn the volume down.
\ Speakers are overloaded because of a short circuit at the
speaker terminals. Check the speaker wiring.
If speaker wiring is not short-circuited, contact your dealer.
\ The receiver is overloaded because of a high voltage.
Consult your dealer after unplugging the power cord.
“OVER HEAT” flashes on the display, then the receiver turns
off.
\ The receiver is overheated because of high volume or long
time usage.
Turn on the receiver again. If the receiver turns off soon,
consult your dealer after unplugging the power cord.

Remote control

operation.
Remote control does not work.
\ There is an obstruction hiding the remote sensor on the
receiver. Remove the obstruction.
\ Batteries are weak. Replace batteries.
\ The mode selector is set to the incorrect position. Set the
mode selector to the proper position.
Buttons cannot be used.
\ TV Direct is activated. Deactivate TV Direct (see page 12).

Tuner
Continuous hiss or buzzing during FM reception.
\ Incoming signal is too weak. Connect an outdoor FM
antenna or contact your dealer.
\ The station is too far away. Select another station.
\ The wrong antenna is being used. Check with your dealer to
be sure you have the correct antenna.
