Main Functions

•Dolby Digital Decoder Incorporated

•Compatible with DTS Digital Surround

The RX-9000VBK is compatible with DTS Digital Surround as well. DTS Digital Surround is the latest digital movie soundtrack format that delivers 5.1-channel audio like Dolby Digital. Using a low audio-data compression rate, it features natural, solid and clear sound.

•Multi Room Operations

You can connect two pairs of the front speakers to the RX- 9000VBK, and use them to listen to different sources in the different rooms (Main room and Sub-room) at the same time.

•RF/IR Multi-brand Remote Control

The remote control sends out not only IR (infrared) signals but also RF (radio frequency) signals as coded commands to control the receiver. The RF rod antenna can receive the RF (Radio Frequency) signals sent from the remote control to operate the receiver. In addition, the supplied RF signal transmitter can transmit IR signals which could control other video components.

–The remote control provided with this receiver can transmit control signals for many manufacturers’ video components.

•COMPU LINK Remote Control System

The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate other JVC audio components from this receiver.

•TEXT COMPU LINK Remote Control System

The TEXT COMPU LINK remote control system has been 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 through the receiver.

•AV COMPU LINK Remote Control System

The AV COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate other JVC video components from this receiver.

Precautions

Power sources

•When unplugging the receiver from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the AC power cord.

•Do not handle the AC power cord with wet hands.

•If you are not going to operate the receiver for an extended period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.

Multi-room operations

•Do not use the remote control outdoors or install the speakers outdoors.

•When operating the receiver from the place where you cannot see the receiver (for example, when controlling the receiver installed in the living room, from the kitchen), pay attention to the following not to surprise other people:

–Be careful not to turn up the volume so high when controlling the receiver without listening to the playback sound.

–Be careful not to surprise other people at a sudden sound coming out of the receiver when turning it on. (A sudden stop of the sound may also surprise other people.)

•If the receiver operates by itself or malfunctions, the following causes will be considered.

–Interference to RF communication between the receiver and the remote control from outside.

–The remote control is operated unintentionally. For example, a book is placed on the remote control, possibly, depressing some buttons on the remote control.

•If your neighbour uses the same or similar RF remote control system, the receiver may happen to receive the RF signals sent from such an RF remote control system, which could cause your receiver to be operated unintentionally. If this happen, stop using the RF rod antenna and the remote control, and consult your JVC dealer or the nearest JVC Service Center.

Others

•Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit, unplug the unit and consult your dealer before operating any further.

•Do not disassemble the unit since there are no user serviceable parts inside.

If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your JVC dealer.

Dynamic Super-A is JVC’s exclusive technology which combines the silky, distortion-free sound of a class-A amplifier and the robust efficiency of a class-B amplifier.
