Features

Precautions

THX Ultra2 certified

The newly introduced THX Ultra2 standard ensures the highest sound and picture quality and the most reliable performance by using seven-channel amplification to reproduce multi-channel software. In newly developed THX Ultra2 Cinema Mode and THX Music Mode, all multi-channel software (5.1 channels or more) is automatically detected and proper processing is applied to improve directional and ambient surround information through four surround speakers—two at the side and two at the back.

Compatible with various audio formats including DTS 96/24

RX-DP20VBK allows you to enjoy newly introduced audio formats such as Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS-ES, DTS NEO:6, and DTS 96/24.

•This unit is also compatible with Dual Mono signals recorded in Dolby Digital and DTS discs.

7.1channel DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor)

Sound field simulation technology allows precise ambience recreation of existing theaters and halls. Thanks to the high- performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and high-capacity memory, you can enjoy 7.1-channel surround by playing 2- channel or multi-channel software.

Multi-channel headphone virtual surround sound—3D HEADPHONE

The built-in headphone virtual surround system is compatible with multi-channel software. You can enjoy a natural surround sound through the headphones.

192 kHz/24 bit PEM DD audio DA converter

The JVC-exclusive converter is now upgraded to be fully compatible with DVD Audio’s high specifications. Subtle nuances are accurately reproduced.

K2 Technology

K2 technology has been designed to enable natural audio reproduction, achieving a drastic reduction in digital distortion and creating original sound ambience with high precision.

CC(Compensative Compression) Converter

CC 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 any source.

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 a 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 too high when controlling the receiver without listening to the playback sound.

–Be careful not to surprise other people with a sudden sound coming out of the receiver when turning it on. (Stopping the sound suddenly may surprise people as well.)

•If the receiver operates by itself or malfunctions, the following causes should 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 of its buttons.

•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 happens, set the BAND selectors both on the rear and on the remote control to another band (either BAND 1 or BAND 2)—see page 17 for details.

If the problem still persists, stop using the RF rod antenna and the remote control, and consult your JVC dealer or the nearest JVC Service Center.

Ventilation

The seven high power amplifiers built in this receiver will generate heat inside the cabinet.

For safety, observe the following carefully:

•Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the receiver.

•Do not block the ventilation openings or holes. (If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)

ZIST (Zero Interference audio Signal Transmission) circuit

The ZIST circuit incorporated for the EXT 7.1 CH IN (input) jacks successfully eliminates the video signal interference to the audio signals by making the cold side of the audio signals completely independent from the ground.

Multi-room operations

You can connect two pairs of front speakers to the RX-DP20VBK, and use them to listen to different sources in different rooms (Zone 1 and Zone 2) at the same time.

Others

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

•Do not use this receiver in a bathroom or places with water.

•Do not place any containers filled with water or liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups, etc.) on top of this receiver.

•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.

COMPU LINK/TEXT COMPU LINK/AV COMPU LINK remote control systems

These COMPU LINK remote control systems allow you to operate other JVC audio/video components from this receiver.
