Features

CC(Compression Compensative) 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. (See page 23 for details.)

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.

Compatible with various audio formats including Dolby Pro Logic IIx

This receiver allows you to enjoy audio formats such as Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS-ES, DTS Neo:6, and DTS 96/24.

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

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 multi-channel surround sound by playing 2-channel or multi-channel software according to the speaker setting.

Multi-channel headphone virtual surround sound—3D Headphone mode

The built-in headphone virtual surround system is compatible with multi-channel software like Dolby Digital, DTS, etc. Thanks to the signal processing algorithms used by the high-performance DSP, you can enjoy a natural surround sound through the headphones.

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. (A sudden stop of the sound may also surprise other people.)

•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, stop using the RF rod antenna and the remote control, and consult your JVC dealer or the nearest JVC Service Center.

Location

•Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from moisture and dust.

•The temperature around the receiver must be between –5˚C and 35˚C.

Multi-room operations

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

COMPU LINK/AV COMPU LINK remote control systems

These functions allow you to operate other JVC’s audio/video components from this receiver.

Precautions

General

•Be sure your hands are dry.

•Turn the power off to all components.

•Read the manuals supplied with the components you are going to connect.

Ventilation

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.)

Others

•Do not insert any metal object into the receiver.

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