How the JC 2 BP connects to your surround system:
How is the JC 2 BP different than the JC 2?
The JC 2 BP comes with an all-new remote control
The JC 2 BP has Bypass circuitry and special software control which allow you to easily integrate it into a surround sound system. The JC 2 is not equipped with this.
Should I buy the JC 2 BP or the JC 2?
You should buy the JC 2 BP if you want to use the same left and right speakers and amplifier for both your analog stereo sources and for your digital surround sound sources. If you have the luxury of two entirely separate systems for stereo and surround you should consider the JC 2 because there will be no advantage to the JC 2 BP.
Do the JC 2 BP and JC 2 sound different?
In a word, no. The JC 2 BP sound and specifications are identical to the JC 2 in every respect. The Bypass function in the JC 2 BP is implemented without modifying the JC 2 left and right channel audio boards in any way.
Can my present JC 2 be modified to include the JC 2 BP Bypass function?
Yes. Parasound can modify your present JC 2 to include the new Bypass function. You can find additional information at www.parasound.com or by writing to service@parasound.com.
