Getting Started This section explains how to connect audio/video components and speakers to the receiver, and how to connect the power supply. Before Installation Connecting the FM and AM (MW/LW) Antennas General • Be sure your hands are dry. • Turn the power off on all components. • Read the manuals supplied with the components you are going to connect. Location • Install the receiver in a location that is level, well-ventilated and free from moisture.
AM (MW/LW) Antenna Connections 3 2 1 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.
Front speakers 1 Right / Left Center speaker FRONT 1 SPEAKERS CAUTION : SPEAKER IMPEDANCE IMPORTANT: After connecting the speakers, set the speaker setting information properly: • To obtain the best possible Surround/THX/DSP effect, see “Basic Settings” on pages 29 to 38. • To connect the speakers to the FRONT 2 SPEAKERS terminal, set the speaker terminal usage correctly. (See “w Setting the Speakers 2 Usage—SPEAKER 2” on page 37.
About the FRONT 2 SPEAKERS terminals The FRONT 2 SPEAKERS terminals can be used as follows: • To connect another pair of the front speakers. • To connect only one pairs of the speakers and to drive them using two amplifiers built in this receiver. If the speakers connected are of the bi-wiring connection type, you can connect the speakers as illustrated below. (You can use either front speaker terminals for high frequency or for low frequency terminals.

2. Press INPUT MODE (or ANALOG/DIGITAL INPUT) to change the input mode. When playing software encoded with the Dolby Digital or DTS Surround, the following symptoms may occur: • Sound does not come out at the beginning of playback. • Noise comes out while searching for or skipping chapters or tracks.
Muting the Sound Making Sounds Natural From the remote control ONLY: JVC’s CC (Compensative Compression) 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 both digital and analog sources.
When changing the source name from “TV ” to “DBS”: TV/DBS 1. Press TV/DBS. Recording a Source For analog-to-analog recording 2. Press and hold TV/DBS until “ASSGN. DBS” appears on the display. ANALOG L SPEAKERS R 1 VOLUME SUBWFR dB To change the source name to “TAPE” or “TV,” repeat the same procedure above—press and hold TAPE/MD to select “TAPE,” or press and hold TV/DBS to select “TV” in step 2.
Receiving Radio Broadcasts You can browse through all the stations or use the preset function to go immediately to a particular station.

Using the Surround and THX Modes This unit activates a variety of Surround and THX modes automatically. The stored basic settings and adjustments performed on the Setup and Adjustment Menus (see pages 29 to 44) are applied. Reproducing Theater Ambience In a movie theater, many speakers are located on the walls to reproduce impressive multi-surround sounds, reaching you from all directions. With these many speakers, sound localization and sound movement can be expressed.
Dolby Digital EX DTS Extended Surround (DTS-ES) Dolby Digital EX (DOLBY D EX) is a new digital surround encoding format that adds the third surround channels, called “surround back.” Compared to the conventional Dolby Digital 5.1CH, the newly added surround back channel can reproduce more detailed movements behind you while viewing the video software. In addition, surround sound localization will become more stable. DTS-ES is another new multi-channel digital encoding format.
Surround and THX Modes Applicable to the Various Software Available Surround modes and THX modes vary depending on the speaker settings and the incoming signals. The tables from this page to the next page show the relation of the Surround/THX modes and the incoming signals (with surround back speakers and 7.1-channel reproduction mode settings). • If only front speakers are activated, you cannot use the THX modes and the 7.1-channel reproduction mode (ES/EX/7.1).
Incoming Signal Type (multi-channel) Surround Back Ch (NONE/1SPK/2SPK) 2SPK/1SPK DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch ES/EX/7.
