RDS allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular program signals. For example, the stations send their station names, as well as information about what type of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.

When an FM station which provides the RDS service is tuned in, the RDS indicator lights up on the display.

With the receiver, you can receive the following types of RDS signals:

NOTES

???RDS is not available for AM (MW) broadcasts.

???RDS may not operate correctly if the station tuned is not transmitting RDS signal properly or if the signal strength is weak.

What information can RDS signals provide?

You can see the RDS signals the station sends on the display.

Press DISPLAY while listening to an FM station.

???Each time you press the button, the display changes to show the following information:

PS PTY

Frequency RT (Normal indication)

PS (Program Service):

While searching, ???PS??? appears and then the station names will be displayed. ???NO PS??? appears if no signal is sent.

PTY (Program Type):

While searching, ???PTY??? appears and then the type of the broadcast program will be displayed. ???NO PTY??? appears if no signal is sent.

RT (Radio Text):

While searching, ???RT??? appears and then text messages the station sends will be displayed. ???NO RT??? appears if no signal is sent.

Frequency:

Station frequency (non-RDS service).

About characters shown on the display

When the display shows PS, PTY, or RT signals, the following characters are used:

???The display cannot show accented letters, ???A??? for instance, may stand for accented ???A???s??? like ?????, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, and

??.???

NOTE

If searching finishes at once, ???PS,??? ???PTY,??? and ???RT??? will not appear on the display.

Searching for a program by PTY codes

One of the advantages of the RDS service is that you can locate a particular kind of program from the preset channels (see pages 32 and 33) by specifying the PTY codes.

To search for a program using the PTY codes

Before you start, remember...

There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the setting is canceled before you finish, start from step 1 again.

1Press PTY SEARCH while listening to an FM station.

???PTY SELECT??? flashes on the display.

2While ???PTY SELECT??? is flashing, press PTY 9 or ( PTY until the PTY code you want appears on the display.

3Press PTY SEARCH again, while the PTY code selected in the previous step is still on the display.

While searching, ???SEARCH??? and the selected PTY code alternatively appears on the display.

The receiver searches 30 preset FM stations, stops when it finds the one you have selected, and tunes in to that station.

???To stop searching any time, press PTY SEARCH while searching.

???If no program is found, ???NOT FOUND??? appears on the display.

To continue searching after the first stop

Press PTY SEARCH again while the indications on the display are flashing.

Drama:All radio plays and serials.

Culture:Programs concerning any aspect of national or regional culture, including language, theatre, etc.

Classification of the PTY codes for some FM stations may be different from the above list.

Switching to broadcast program of your choice temporarily

Another convenient RDS service is called ???Enhanced Other

Networks.???

This allows the receiver to switch temporarily to a broadcast program of your choice (TA, NEWS, and/or INFO) from a different station except in the following case:

???The Enhanced Other Networks mode only works when receiving an FM station with the Enhanced Other Networks code.

Before you start, remember...

The Enhanced Other Networks function is only applicable to preset FM stations.

Press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly until the program type you want appears on the display.

???Each time you press the button, the program type(s) change, and the corresponding indicator(s) light up as follows:

TA NEWS INFO TA/NEWSTA/INFO

Canceled TA/NEWS/INFO NEWS/INFO

TA: Traffic Announcement in your area.

NEWS: News.

INFO: Program the purpose of which is to impart advice in the widest sense.

How the Enhanced Other Networks function actually works:

If another FM station starts broadcasting the program type you have selected while you are listening to an FM station

The receiver automatically switches to the station. The indicator of the received program type starts flashing.

???

When the program is over, the receiver goes back to the station previously tuned in, but still remains in Enhanced Other

Networks standby mode. The indicator of the received program type stops flashing and remains lit.

If the station currently tuned in starts broadcasting the program type you have selected

The receiver continues to receive the station, but the indicator of the received program type starts flashing.

???

When the program is over, the indicator of the received program type stops flashing and remains lit, but the receiver remains in Enhanced Other Networks standby mode.

To stop listening to the program selected by Enhanced Other Networks

Press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly again so that the program type

(TA/NEWS/INFO) indicator goes off from the display. The receiver exits from Enhanced Other Networks standby mode and goes back to the previously selected station.

When an emergency broadcast (Alarm ! signal) is sent from an FM station

The receiver automatically tunes in to the station except in the following cases:

???When you are listening to non-RDS Networks???all AM (MW) stations, some FM stations and other sources.

???When the receiver is in standby mode or TV Direct mode.

While receiving an emergency broadcast, ???Alarm !??? appears on the display.

The TEST signal is used for equipment test???whether it can receive the Alarm ! signal correctly

The TEST signal makes the receiver work in the same way as the Alarm ! signal does. If the TEST signal is received, the receiver automatically switches to the station broadcasting the TEST signal.

While receiving the TEST signal, ???TEST??? appears on the display.

NOTES

???Enhanced Other Networks data sent from some stations may not be compatible with this receiver.

???Enhanced Other Networks does not function for some FM stations with RDS service.

???While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other

Networks function, the station does not change even if another network station starts broadcasting a program of the same

Enhanced Other Networks data.

???While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other Networks function, you can only use the TA/NEWS/INFO and

DISPLAY.

CAUTION:

If the stations alternate intermittently between the station tuned by the Enhanced Other Networks function and the currently tuned station, press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly to cancel the Enhanced

Other Networks function.

If you do not press the button, the currently tuned station is received finally, and the indication of the Enhanced Other

Networks data type flashing on the display disappears.

Creating realistic sound fields

Reproducing theatre ambience

In a movie theatre, many speakers are located on the walls to reproduce impressive multi-channel sound, reaching you from all directions.

With these many speakers, sound localization and sound movement can be expressed.

Surround/DSP modes built in this receiver can create almost the same Surround sound as you can feel in a real movie theatre.

Introducing the Surround modes

??? Dolby Digital*

Dolby Digital is a digital signal compression method, developed by Dolby Laboratories, and enables multi-channel encoding and decoding.

???When Dolby Digital signal is detected through the digital input, the DOLBY D indicator lights up on the display.

Dolby Digital 5.1CH

Dolby Digital 5.1CH (DOLBY D) encoding method records and digitally compresses the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left surround channel, right surround channel, and

LFE channel signals (total 6 channels, but the LFE channel is counted as 0.1 channel. Therefore, called 5.1 channel).

Dolby Digital enables stereo surround sounds, and sets the cutoff frequency of the surround treble at 20 kHz, compared to 7 kHz for

Dolby Pro Logic. As such, the sound movement and ???being-there??? feeling are enhanced much more than Dolby Pro Logic.

Another digital surround encoding format introduced by Dolby Laboratories is Dolby Digital EX, which adds the third surround channels, called ???surround back.???

Compared to the conventional Dolby Digital 5.1CH, these newly added surround back channels can reproduce more detailed movements behind you while viewing the video software. In addition, surround sound localization will become more stable.

???You can use Virtual Surround Back (see page 22) when playing back Dolby Digital Surround EX software. This function creates the great surround effect from the behind as if you have connected the surround back speaker. The VIRTUAL SB indicator lights up on the display.

??? Dolby Surround

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II is a multi-channel playback format to convert 2-channel software into 5-channel (plus subwoofer). The matrix- based conversion method used for Dolby Pro Logic II makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the surround treble and enables stereo surround sound.

???This receiver provides two types of Dolby Pro Logic II modes???

Pro Logic II Movie (PLII MOVIE) and Pro Logic II Music (PLII MUSIC).

When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the indicator lights up on the display.

PLII MOVIE Suitable for playing any Dolby Surround encoded software. You can enjoy a sound field very close to the one created with discrete 5.1-channel sounds.

PLII MUSIC Suitable for playing any 2-channel stereo software. You can enjoy wide and deep sounds.

???To enjoy software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver. (See page 11.)

*Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. ???Dolby???, ???Pro Logic???, and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.

??? DTS**

DTS is another digital signal compression method, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., and enables multi-channel encoding and decoding (1ch up to 6.1ch).

???When DTS signal is detected through the digital input, the DTS indicator lights up on the display.

DTS Digital Surround

DTS Digital Surround (DTS) is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software.

Compared to Dolby Digital, the DTS Digital Surround format has a lower audio compression rate which enables it to add breadth and depth to the sounds reproduced. As such, DTS Digital Surround features natural, solid, and clear sound.

Another multi-channel digital surround encoding format introduced by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. is DTS Extended Surround

(DTS-ES).

It greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and space expression by adding the third surround channel???surround back channel.

DTS-ES includes two signal formats with different surround signal recording methods???DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1ch.

???You can use the Virtual Surround Back (see page 22) when playing back DTS-ES software. This function creates the great surround effect from the behind as if you have connected the surround back speaker. The VIRTUAL SB indicator lights up on the display.

DTS 96/24

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in higher sampling rates both for recording and for reproducing at home.

Higher sampling rates allow wider frequency range and greater bit depths provide extended dynamic range.

DTS 96/24 is a multi-channel digital signal format (fs 96 kHz/24 bits) introduced by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. to deliver ???better- than-CD sound quality??? into the home.

???When DTS 96/24 signal is detected, the DTS and 96/24 indicators light up. You can enjoy its 5.1-channel sound with full- quality.

**???DTS??? and ???DTS 96/24??? are trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.

When using Surround mode, the sounds come out of the activated speakers which the Surround mode requires.

???If either the surround speakers or center speaker is set to ???NO??? in the speaker setting (see page 21), the corresponding channel signals are allocated to and emitted through the front speakers.

???If both the surround speakers and center speaker are set to ???NO??? in the speaker setting (see page 21), JVC???s original 3D- PHONIC processing (which has been developed to create the surround effect through the front speakers only) is used. The 3D indicator lights up on the display.

3D HEADPHONE mode

If you connect a pair of headphones while one of the Surround modes is in use, the 3D HEADPHONE mode is activated without respect to the type of software played back. ???3DHEADPHONE??? appears on the display and the DSP, 3D, and HP indicators light up.

About other digital signals

Linear PCM

Uncompressed digital audio data used for DVDs, CDs, and Video CDs.

DVDs support 2 channels with sampling rates of 48/96 kHz, at quantization of 16/20/24 bits. On the other hand, CDs and Video CDs are limited to 2 channels with 44.1 kHz at 16 bits.

???When Linear PCM signal is detected, the LPCM indicator lights up.

Dual Mono

Dual Mono can be easily understood when you think of the bilingual broadcast for TV programs (however, the Dual Mono format is not identical with those analogue formats).

This format is now adopted in Dolby Digital, DTS, and so on. It allows two independent channels (called main channel and sub-channel) to be recorded separately.

???You can select either channel you want to listen to (see page 22).

Introducing the DSP modes

The sound heard in a concert hall, club, etc. consists of direct sound and indirect sound???early reflections and reflections from behind. Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any reflection. On the other hand, indirect sounds are delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls. These direct sounds and indirect sounds are the most important elements of the acoustic surround effects.

The DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes can create these important elements, and give you a real ???being there??? feeling.

Reflections from behind

Early reflections

Direct sounds

The DSP modes include the following modes:

???Digital Acoustic Processor (DAP) modes???HALL1, HALL2, LIVE

CLUB, DANCE CLUB, PAVILION, THEATRE1, THEATRE2

???MONO FILM???Used for all types of 2-channel signals (including Dual Mono signal)

???All Channel Stereo mode (ALL CH ST)

When one of the DSP modes is activated, the DSP indicator lights up on the display.

??? Digital Acoustic Processor (DAP) modes

You can use the following DAP modes in order to reproduce a more acoustic sound field in your listening room.

DANCE CLUB Reproduces the spatial feeling of a rocking dance club.

PAVILION Reproduces the spatial feeling of an exhibition hall with a high ceiling.

THEATRE1 Reproduces the spatial feeling of a large theatre where the seating capacity is about 600.

THEATRE2 Reproduces the spatial feeling of a small theatre where the seating capacity is about 300.

NOTE

When ???THEATRE1??? or ???THEATRE2??? is activated while playing back 2-channel analogue or digital source, the built-in Dolby Pro

Logic II decoder is activated and the indicator lights up.

When using the DAP mode, the sounds come out of all the connected and activated speakers.

???If the surround speakers are set to ???NO??? in the speaker setting (see page 21), JVC???s original 3D-PHONIC processing

(which has been developed to create the surround effect through the front speakers only) is used.

The 3D indicator lights up on the display.

??? MONO FILM

In order to reproduce a more acoustic sound field in your listening room while viewing monaural sound video software (analogue and 2-channel digital signals including Dual Mono signal), you can use this mode.

The surround effect will be added, and the sound localization of actor???s words will be improved.

This mode cannot be used for multi-channel digital signals.

When ???MONO FILM??? is used, sounds come out of all the connected (and activated) speakers.

???If the surround speakers are set to ???NO??? in the speaker setting (see page 21), JVC???s original 3D-PHONIC processing (which has been developed to create the surround effect through the front speakers only) is used.

The 3D indicator lights up on the display.

???If incoming signals change from 2-channel digital signal to another digital signal type, ???MONO FILM??? is canceled and an appropriate Surround mode is activated.

??? All Channel Stereo mode (ALL CH ST)

This mode can reproduce a larger stereo sound field using all the connected (and activated) speakers.

This mode cannot be used if the surround speakers are set to ???NO??? in the speaker setting (see page 21).

Activating the Surround/DSP modes

Available Surround/DSP modes vary depending on the incoming signals. For details, see page 43.

Activating one of the Surround/DSP modes automatically recalls the memorized settings and adjustments.

???To adjust the speaker output level, see page 29.

???To adjust the effect level for the DSP mode (except All Channel Stereo mode,) see page 31.

???To add ???wraparound??? sound effect to ???PLII MUSIC??? (PANORAMA control,) see page 31.
