JVC RX-DP10VBK Introduction, Features, Precautions, THX Surround EX DTS-EScompatible, Ventilation

Introduction

We would like to thank you for purchasing one of our JVC products.

Before operating this unit, read this manual carefully and thoroughly to obtain the best possible performance

from your unit, and retain this manual for future reference.

Features Precautions

THX Surround EX (DTS-ES compatible)

THX Surround EX is a format that has additional left and right surround back channels on the basis of Dolby Digital 5.1 channels. It improves the definition and the sense of sound movement in surround (rear) channels.

•This receiver is also compatible with DTS Extended Surround (DTS-ES)—another multichannel surround containing additional left and right surround back channels.

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 multichannel software.

Multichannel headphone virtual surround sound—3D HEADPHONE

The built-in headphone virtual surround system is compatible with multichannel software like Dolby Digital, DTS Surround, etc. Thanks to the new signal processing algorithms used by the high- performance DSP, 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.

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 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.

Multi-room operations

You can connect two pairs of front speakers to the RX-DP10VBK, 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/learning 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 signals sent from the remote control to operate the receiver. In addition, the supplied IR signal transmitter can transmit IR signals which can control other video components.

•The remote control provided for this receiver can transmit control signals for many manufacturers’ components, and can learn and store any signals.

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.

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 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 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 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 15 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

Seven high power amplifiers built in this receiver will generate heat inside the cabinet. When the temperature inside the cabinet increases, the internal fan automatically starts rotating to reduce the internal temperature. 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.
