You can enjoy a powerful sound at night using Midnight Mode.

Press MIDNIGHT MODE so that “MID NIGHT: 1” or

“MID NIGHT: 2” appear on the display.

The MIDNIGHT MODE indicator also lights up.

MID NIGHT: 1 Select when you want to reduce the dynamic range a little.

MID NIGHT: 2 Select when you want to apply the compress effect fully (useful at midnight).

MID NIGHT: OFF Select when you want to enjoy surround with its full dynamic range (no effect applied).

Notes:

•If Analog Direct is in use (see the right column), Midnight Mode is temporarily canceled.

•Midnight Mode is not valid for DVD MULTI playback mode.

Attenuating the Input Signal

Remote

NOT

When the input level of the analog source is too high, the sounds will be distorted. If this happens, you need to attenuate the input signal level to prevent the sound distortion.

•Once you have made an adjustment, it is memorized for each analog source.

Press and hold INPUT ATT (INPUT ANALOG) so that the INPUT ATT indicator lights up on the display.

•Each time you press and hold the button, the input attenuator mode turns on (“ATT ON”) or off (“NORMAL”).

Notes:

•This function is applied to only the Zone 1 analog sources.

•This function is not valid when DVD MULTI is selected or when Analog Direct is activated.

Turning Analog Direct On and Off

You can enjoy the sound closer to the original source by overriding the sound adjustments such as Midnight Mode (see the left column), Bass Boost (see page 24), Equalization pattern (see page 40), speaker output level adjustments (see page 40), and Surround and DSP modes (see pages 42 to 49). You can only adjust the volume level and the subwoofer output level while Analog Direct is in use.

•Once you have made an adjustment, it is memorized for each analog source.

Press ANALOG DIRECT so that “A DIRECT” appears on the display.

The lamp on the button also lights up.

•Each time you press the button, Analog Direct turns on and off (the lamp goes off) alternately.

Notes:

•This function is applied to only the Zone 1 analog sources.

•When digital input mode is in use, Analog Direct is not available.

•Turning on Surround or DSP mode cancels Analog Direct and previously selected sound adjustments are recalled.

•If Analog Direct is in use, Midnight Mode (see the left column) is temporarily canceled.

•Turning on Analog Direct cancels Input Attenuator (see the left column) and CC Converter (see below).

Making Sounds Natural

JVC’s CC (Compression Compensative) 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) on the front speakers.

By using the CC Converter, you can obtain a natural sound field from both digital and analog sources.

Press CC CONVERTER so that the lamp on the button lights up.

•Each time you press the button, CC Converter turns on and off (the lamp goes off) alternately.

Notes:

•This function is applied to only the Zone 1 sources.

•You cannot use this function while Analog Direct is in use. If you turn on Analog Direct while this function is in use, this function will be canceled.
