Getting Started
This section explains how to connect audio/video components and speakers to the receiver, and how to connect the power supply.
Before Installation
General Precautions
???Be sure your hands are dry.
???Turn the power off to all components.
???Read the manuals supplied with the components you are going to connect.
Locations
???Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from moisture and dust.
???The temperature around the receiver must be between
???Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor ventilation could cause overheating and damage the receiver.
Notes:
???Supplied batteries are for the initial setup. Replace for continued use.
???After replacing the batteries, set the manufacturers??? codes again (see pages 35 and 36).
CAUTION:
Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:
???Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity: (+) to (+) and
???Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may differ in voltage.
???Always replace both batteries at the same time.
???Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.
Handling the receiver
???Do not insert any metal object into the receiver.
???Do not disassemble the receiver or remove screws, covers, or cabinet.
???Do not expose the receiver to rain or moisture.
Connecting the FM and AM Antennas

Basic Settings
Some of the following settings are required after connecting and positioning your speakers while others will make operations easier. You can use QUICK SPEAKER SETUP to easily set up your speaker configuration.
Quick Speaker Setup helps you to easily and quickly register the speaker size and speaker distance according to your listening room to create the best possible surround effect.
???You can also register each speaker???s information manually. For details, see page 20.
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.
1 Press QUICK SPEAKER SETUP.

Speaker channel number and the size
You can find how each of the speaker size is defined according to the number of connected speakers (speaker channel ???CH??? number) you select.
??? Subwoofer (S.WFR) is counted as 0.1 channel.
Room size and the speaker distance
According to the selected room size, speaker distance for each activated speaker is set as follows:

Setting the Speaker Distance
The distance from your listening point to the speakers is another important element to obtain the best possible sound of the Surround and DSP modes. Set the distance from your listening point to the speakers.
By referring to the speaker distance setting, this unit automatically sets the delay time of the sound through each speaker so that sounds through all the speakers can reach you with the same timing.

To use this remote control system, you need to connect JVC???s audio components through the COMPU LINK (SYNCHRO) jacks using the cables with monaural
???Make sure that the AC power cords of these components are unplugged before connection. Plug the AC power cords only after all connections are complete.

Notes:
???There are four versions of COMPU LINK remote control system. This receiver is equipped with the fourth
This version is added systematic operations with the CD recorder to the previous
???If your audio component has two COMPU LINK jacks, you can use either one. If it has only one COMPU LINK jack, connect it so that it is the last item in the series of components.
???To operate the cassette deck or CD recorder using the COMPU
LINK remote control system, set the source name correctly if required. (See page 14.)
???Refer also to the manuals supplied with your audio components.
This remote control system allows you to use four functions listed below.
Automatic Source Selection
When you press the play (3) button on a connected component or on its own remote control, the receiver automatically turns on and changes the source to the component. On the other hand, if you select a new source on the receiver or on the remote control, the selected component begins playing immediately.
In both cases, the previously selected source continues playing without sound for a few seconds.
Automatic Power On/Off
The connected components turn on and off (standby) along with the receiver.
When you turn on the receiver, one of the connected components will turn on automatically, depending on which component has been previously selected.
When you turn off the receiver, the connected components will turn off (standby).
Synchronized Recording
Synchronized recording means the cassette deck starts recording as soon as a CD begins playing.
To use synchronized recording, follow these steps:
1Put a tape in the cassette deck, and a disc in the CD player.
2Press the record (??) button and the pause (8)
button on the cassette deck at the same time.
This puts the cassette deck into recording pause.
If you do not press the record (??) button and pause (8) button at the same time, the synchronized recording feature will not operate.
3 Press the play (3) button on the CD player.
The source changes on the receiver, and as soon as play starts, the cassette deck starts recording. When the play ends, the cassette deck enters recording pause, and stops about 4 seconds later.
Notes:
???During synchronized recording, the selected source cannot be changed.
???If the power of any component is shut off during synchronized recording, the COMPU LINK remote control system may not operate properly. In this case, you must start again from the beginning.
Remote Control through the Remote Sensor on the Receiver
You can control the connected audio components through the remote sensor on the receiver using this remote control. Aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the receiver. For details, see pages 33 and 34.

???If your audio component has two COMPU LINK jacks, you can use either one. If it has only one COMPU LINK jack, connect it so that it is the last item in the series of components.
???To operate the cassette deck or CD recorder using the COMPU
LINK remote control system, set the source name correctly if required. (See page 14.)
???Refer also to the manuals supplied with your audio components.
This remote control system allows you to use four functions listed below.
Automatic Source Selection
When you press the play (3) button on a connected component or on its own remote control, the receiver automatically turns on and changes the source to the component. On the other hand, if you select a new source on the receiver or on the remote control, the selected component begins playing immediately.
In both cases, the previously selected source continues playing without sound for a few seconds.
Automatic Power On/Off
The connected components turn on and off (standby) along with the receiver.
When you turn on the receiver, one of the connected components will turn on automatically, depending on which component has been previously selected.
When you turn off the receiver, the connected components will turn off (standby).
Synchronized Recording
Synchronized recording means the cassette deck starts recording as soon as a CD begins playing.
To use synchronized recording, follow these steps:
1Put a tape in the cassette deck, and a disc in the CD player.
2Press the record (??) button and the pause (8)
button on the cassette deck at the same time.
This puts the cassette deck into recording pause.
If you do not press the record (??) button and pause (8) button at the same time, the synchronized recording feature will not operate.
3 Press the play (3) button on the CD player.
The source changes on the receiver, and as soon as play starts, the cassette deck starts recording. When the play ends, the cassette deck enters recording pause, and stops about 4 seconds later.
Notes:
???During synchronized recording, the selected source cannot be changed.
???If the power of any component is shut off during synchronized recording, the COMPU LINK remote control system may not operate properly. In this case, you must start again from the beginning.
