Hybrid Feedback Digital Amplifier

Power sources

RX-D401S/RX-D402B features the JVC-exclusive Hybrid Feedback Digital Amplifier. Premium-grade parts and devices, and special internal construction assure you will enjoy superior sound.

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.

Compatible with HDMI*

The HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is the standard interface for the next-generation TV. By connecting the source components, this receiver, and TV with the HDMI cables, digital video signals and audio signals (including Dolby Digital, DTS) are transmitted through the cables. You can enjoy digital video and sound without AD/DA conversion with easy connection.

As RX-D401S/RX-D402B supports up to HDMI version 1.1, this receiver can digitally transmit 5.1-channel PCM with sampling rates of 96 kHz and 2-channel PCM with sampling rates of 192 kHz. (These PCM signals are referred to as “multi channel PCM” in this instruction.) You can enjoy digital sound without deterioration. In addition, this receiver is compatible with HDCP** (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection), and HDCP contents can be viewed if you connect a HDCP- compatible TV to this receiver.

*HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing LLC.

**HDCP is the abbreviation of “High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection,” and is the high-reliable copy control technology licenced by Digital Content Protection, LLC.

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.)

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.

7.1 channel DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor)

Sound field simulation technology allows precise ambience recreation of existing theatres 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.

DCDi technology

DCDi (Directional Correlational Deinterlacing) technology, developed by Faroudja, eliminates jagged edges generated in progressive scan conversion. With DCDi, you can enjoy clear and smooth video images on your display. For RX-D401S/RX- D402B, this function is applied only when the NTSC analog video signals are transmitted to the receiver.
