Using the DSP ModesThe 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 (Dolby Pro Logic and JVC Theater Surround.)

Early reflections

Reflections frombehind

Direct sounds

3D-PHONIC modesThe 3D-PHONIC mode gives you such a nearly surround effect as itis reproduced through the Dolby Surround decoder, which is widelyused to reproduce sounds with a feeling of movement like thoseexperienced in movie theaters. The 3D-PHONIC mode is the resultof research on sound localization technology carried out at JVC formany years. This mode is selected when two front speakers areconnected to this receiver (without respect to the rear/centerspeaker connection).You can select either 3D ACTION or 3D THEATER to yourpreference.

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

3D THEATER: Reproduces the sound field of a large theater.

Surround ModesWith this receiver, you can use two types of the Surround modes.

• Dolby Surround

Dolby Surround has been developed to reproduce the importantelements of the acoustic surround at home.To watch the soundtracks of video software bearing the mark

DOLBY SURROUND * which includes the same encoded surroundinformation as found in Dolby Stereo films, the receiver can provideyou with Dolby Surround decoder.There are two types of Dolby Surround – “Pro Logic” and “3Stereo.”“Pro Logic” can be used when the front speakers and rearspeakers are connected to this receiver (regardless of the centerspeaker connection). On the other hand, “3 Stereo” can be usedwhen the rear speakers are not connected (center speaker mustbe connected).

• JVC Theater Surround

In order to reproduce a more realistic sound field in your listeningroom while playing soundtracks of video software bearing the mark

DOLBY SURROUND , JVC Theater Surround has been designed to giveyou clearer vocals and to create a real “being there” feeling.This mode can be used when the front speakers and rearspeakers are connected to this receiver (without respect to thecenter speaker connection).

DAP modesThe sound heard in a concert hall or club consists of direct soundand indirect sound — early reflections and reflections from behind.Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any reflection. Onthe other hand, indirect sounds are delayed by the distances of theceiling and walls. These direct sounds and indirect sounds are themost important elements of the acoustic surround effects. The DAPmode can create these important elements, and gives you a real“being there” feeling. This mode can be used when the frontspeakers are connected to this receiver (without respect to therear/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 lowceiling.

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 highceiling.

Notes:• The DSP modes have no effect on monaural sources.• The DSP modes cannot be used for recording.• When you select “DVD MULTI” as the source to play, you cannot

select or adjust the DSP modes.

IMPORTANT:

Before recording, turn off the DVD MULTI playback mode.

As for the DVD MULTI playback mode, seepage 20.

COMPU LINK Remote Control SystemThe COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate JVC audio components through the remote sensor onthe receiver.

To use this remote control system, you need to connect JVC audiocomponents through the COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) jacks (seebelow) in addition to the connections using cables with RCA pinplugs (see page 5).• Make sure that the AC power cords of these components are

unplugged before connection. Plug the AC power cords only afterall 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 seriesof components. (For example, the turntable or CD player in thediagram above.)

• To operate the cassette deck or MD recorder using the COMPULINK remote control system, set the source name correctly. (Seepage 11.)

• Refer also to the manuals supplied with your audio components.

This remote control system allows you to use four functions listedbelow.

Remote Control through the Remote Sensor on theReceiverYou can control the connected audio components through the remotesensor on the receiver using this remote control. Aim the remotecontrol directly at the remote sensor on the receiver. For details, seepages 32 and 33.

Automatic Source SelectionWhen you press the play (33333) button on a connected component oron its own remote control, the receiver automatically turns on andchanges the source to the component. On the other hand, if youselect a new source on the receiver or the remote control, theselected component begins playing immediately.In both cases, the previously selected source continues playingwithout sound for a few seconds.

Synchronized RecordingSynchronized 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 theMD recorder), and a disc in the CD player (or arecord on the turntable).

2. Press the record (¶) button and the pause (8)button on the cassette deck (or MD recorder) atthe same time.This puts the cassette deck (or MD recorder) into recordingpause.If you do not press the record (¶) button and pause (8) button atthe same time, the synchronized recording feature will notoperate.

3. Press the play (3) button on the CD player or onthe turntable.The source changes on the receiver, and as soon as play starts,the cassette deck (or MD recorder) starts recording. When theplay ends, the cassette deck (or MD recorder) enters recordingpause, and stops about 4 seconds later.

Notes:

• During synchronized recording, the selected source cannot bechanged.

• If the power of any component is shut off during synchronizedrecording, the COMPU LINK remote control system may notoperate properly. In this case, you must start again from thebeginning.
