Using the DSP Modes

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 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).

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” are set to “NONE” (see page 14).

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 while playing an analog or linear PCM source.

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.

Surround modes
With this receiver, you can use four 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 ) or with Dolby Surround (bearing the mark   ).
Dolby Surround encoding format records the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, and rear channel (total 4 channels) signals into 2 channels. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built in this receiver decode these 2 channel signals into original 4  channel signals — matrix-based multichannel reproduction, and allows you to enjoy the realistic stereo sounds in your listening room.
On the other hand, Dolby Digital encoding method (so called a discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format) records and compresses the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left rear channel, right rear channel, and LFE channel (total 6 channels, but LFE channel is counted as 0.1 channel, therefore called 5.1 channels) signals digitally. Each channel is completely independent from other channel signals to avoid interference, therefore, you can obtain much better sound quality with much stereo and surround effects.
The Dolby Digital decoder built in this receiver can create much more realistic sound field in your listening room. You may feel as if you were in a real theater.
In addition, Dolby Digital enables stereo rear sounds, and sets the cutoff frequency of the rear treble at 20 kHz, comparing to 7 kHz for Dolby Pro Logic. These facts enhance the sound movement and being-there feelings much more than Dolby Pro Logic.
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 8.)
DTS Digital Surround **
DTS Digital Surround is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software.
Comparing to Dolby Digital, audio compression rate is relatively low. This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format to have more data recorded than Dolby Digital even using the same media, and to add breadth and depth to the reproduced sounds. As a result, DTS Digital Surround features natural, solid and clear sound.
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 8.)
MPEG Multichannel
MPEG Multichannel is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on DVD software, and uses encoding method called MPEG2-Audio. (MPEG stands for “Motion Picture Expert Group” and has been originally developed for compressing video signals. )
To watch the soundtracks of video software bearing the mark , the receiver can provide you with MPEG Multichannel decoder.
MPEG Multichannel is automatically selected according to software played back and the speaker arrangement you have done.
To enjoy the software encoded with MPEG Multichannel, you must connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver. (See page 8.)
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 ) you can use JVC Theater Surround. Notes:

  • The DSP modes have no effect on monaural sources.
  • When you select “DVD MULTI” as the source to play, you cannot select or adjust the DSP modes.
  • The PRO LOGIC indicator lights up when the Dolby Pro Logic decoder built in this receiver is activated.

DVD MULTI Playback Mode
This receiver provides the DVD MULTI playback mode for reproducing the analog discrete 5.1 channel output mode of the DVD player or other equipment.
You can adjust the DVD MULTI playback mode while playing back a video software such as a DVD using the analog discrete 5.1 channel output mode.

  • For the DVD MULTI playback mode connection, see page 7.

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 pages 5 and 6).

  • 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 13.)
  • 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 43 and 44.
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 ( ) 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.

  3. Press the play (3 ) 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 bechanged.
  • 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.

TEXT COMPU LINK Remote Control System

The TEXT COMPU LINK remote control system has been newly developed to deal with the disc information recorded in the CD Text* and MDs. Using these information in the discs, you can operate the CD player or MD recorder equipped with the TEXT COMPU LINK remote control system through the receiver.
