MONO: Reception will be improved although you will lose the stereo effect. In this mode, you will hear noise while tuning into the stations. The AUTO MUTING indicator goes off on the display.

The built-in Surround Processor provides three types of the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) mode — 3D-PHONIC mode, DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) mode and Surround mode.

3D-PHONIC modes

The 3D-PHONIC mode gives you such a nearly surround effect as it is reproduced through the Dolby Surround decoder, which is widely used to reproduce sounds with a feeling of movement like those experienced in movie theaters. The 3D-PHONIC mode is the result of research on sound localization technology carried out at JVC for many years. This mode can be used when the front speakers are connected to this receiver (without respect to the rear/center speaker connection).

- You can select either 3D ACTION or 3D THEATER to your preference when playing an analog or Linear PCM (digital) source.

3D ACTION: Best for action and war movies — where the action is fast and explosive.

3D THEATER: Reproduces the sound field of a large theater. This mode can be selected when only front speakers are connected to this receiver and "REAR SPK" and "CENTER SPK" is set to "NONE" (see page 12).

DAP modes

The sound heard in a concert hall or club 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 DAP mode can create these important elements, and gives you a real “being there” feeling. This mode can be used when the front speakers are connected to this receiver (without respect to the rear/center speaker connection).

You can select one of the following to your preference.

LIVE CLUB: Gives the feeling of a live music club with a low ceiling.

DANCE CLUB: Gives a throbbing bass beat.

HALL: Gives clear vocal and the feeling of a concert hall.

PAVILION: Gives the spacious feeling of a pavilion with a high ceiling.

Notes:

• If "REAR SPK" and "CENTER SPK" are set to "NONE," — you can select only "HEAD PHONE" or "OFF" for the DSP mode. — you cannot select Surround mode.
• No sounds come out of the center speaker, even if it is connected.

Headphones mode

This mode can reproduce the LFE channel signals, mixing them to the front channel signals. So you will not miss the subwoofer sounds even if you listen to a source using the headphones.

Surround modes

With this receiver, you can use three types of the Surround mode. Following modes cannot be used when only the front speakers are connected to this receiver (without the rear speakers or center speaker).

Dolby Surround (Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic) *

Used to watch the soundtracks of software encoded with Dolby Digital (bearing the mark ☐DOLBY) or with Dolby Surround (bearing the mark ☐DOLBY SURROUND).

Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic can be selected automatically according to software played back and the speaker arrangement you have done.

- To enjoy the software encoded with Dolby Digital, you must connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver. (See page 7.)

DTS Digital Surround **

DTS Digital Surround is a discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software.

To watch the soundtracks of video software bearing the mark, the receiver can provide you with DTS Digital Surround decoder. DTS Digital Surround is automatically selected according to software played back and the speaker arrangement you have done.

- To enjoy the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround, you must connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver. (See page 7.)

Note:

When playing a CD encoded with DTS Digital Surround, select "DTS" as the incoming digital signal type. (See page 14)

JVC Theater Surround

In order to reproduce a more realistic sound field in your listening room while playing soundtracks of software encoded with Dolby Surround (bearing the mark ☐☐[DOLBY SURROUND]), you can use JVC Theater Surround.

Notes:

• The DSP modes have no effect on monaural sources.
• The DSP modes will not be applied when recording a source.
• The PRO LOGIC indicator lights up when the Dolby Pro Logic decoder built in this receiver is activated.

COMPU LINK Remote Control System

The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate JVC audio components through the remote sensor on the receiver.

To use this remote control system, you need to connect JVC audio components through the COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) jacks (see below) in addition to the connections using cables with RCA pin plugs (see page 5).

- Make sure that the AC power cords of these components are unplugged before connection. Plug the AC power cords only after all connections are complete.

Notes:

• If your audio component has two COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) jacks, you can use either one. If it has only one COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) jack, connect it so that it is the last item in the series of components. (For example, the turntable or CD player in the diagram above.)
• To operate the cassette deck or MD recorder using the COMPU LINK remote control system, set the source name correctly. (See page 11.)
• Refer also to the manuals supplied with your audio components.

This remote control system allows you to use four functions listed below.

Remote Control through the Remote Sensor on the Receiver

You can control the connected audio components through the remote sensor on the receiver using this remote control. Aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the receiver. For details, see pages 29 and 30.

Automatic Source Selection

When you press the play (▶) button on a connected component or on its own remote control, the receiver automatically turns on and changes the source to the component. On the other hand, if you select a new source on the receiver or on the remote control, the selected component begins playing immediately.

In both cases, the previously selected source continues playing without sound for a few seconds.

Automatic Power On/ Off (Standby): only possible with the COMPU LINK-3 connection

Both the CD player and cassette deck (or MD recorder) turn on and off (standby) along with the receiver.

When you turn on the receiver, the CD player or cassette deck (or MD recorder) will turn on automatically, depending on which component has been previously selected.

When you turn off the receiver, both the CD player and cassette deck (or MD recorder) will turn off (standby).

Synchronized Recording

Synchronized recording means the cassette deck (or MD recorder) starts recording as soon as a CD or a record begins playing.

To use synchronized recording, follow these steps:

1. Put a tape in the cassette deck (or an MD in the MD recorder), and a disc in the CD player (or a record on the turntable).
2. Press the record (●) button and the pause (II) button on the cassette deck (or MD recorder) at the same time.

This puts the cassette deck (or MD recorder) into recording pause.

If you do not press the record (●) button and pause (■) button at the same time, the synchronized recording feature will not operate.

1. Press the play (▶) button on the CD player or on the turntable.

The source changes on the receiver, and as soon as play starts, the cassette deck (or MD recorder) starts recording. When the play ends, the cassette deck (or MD recorder) enters recording pause, and stops about 4 seconds later.

Notes:

• During synchronized recording, the selected source cannot be changed.
• If the power of any component is shut off during synchronized recording, the COMPU LINK remote control system may not operate properly. In this case, you must start again from the beginning.

AV COMPU LINK Remote Control System
