Before plugging the receiver into an AC outlet, make sure that all connections have been made. When the power cord is connected, the STANDBY lamp above the POWER button lights up. Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables for the TV, VCR, and antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. We recommend that you use a coaxial cable to connect the antenna, since it is well-shielded against interference. Notes: • A small amount of power is always consumed even in standby mode. To switch off the power completely, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. • If the power cord is unplugged or a power failure occurs, preset settings will be erased in a few days. CAUTIONS: • Do not touch the power cord with wet hands. • Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the cord. When unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage the cord. Putting Batteries in the Remote Control Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first. When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the receiver. 1. On the back of the remote control, remove the cover as illustrated. 2. Insert batteries. Make sure to observe the proper polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–). 3. Replace the cover in. If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace the batteries. Use two R03 (UM-4)/AAA (24F) type dry-cell batteries. CAUTIONS: Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells: • Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity indicated: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–). • Use the correct type of batteries.

The built-in surround processor provides three types of surround programs — Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby 3- Channel Logic, and JVC’s Hall Surround. What is surround? The sound heard in a concert hall or a movie theater consists of direct sound and indirect sound: early reflections and reflections from behind. The reflected sounds are always delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls from the listener. These reflections are some of the most important elements of the acoustic surround. On JVC’s Hall Surround In order to reproduce a more realistic sound field in your listening room while playing an ordinary stereo source, JVC’s Hall Surround has been designed to give you clear vocals and to create the feeling of a concert hall. The sound is reproduced through the front speakers and rear speakers. On Dolby Surround Dolby Surround has been also developed to reproduce the important elements of the acoustic surround at home. To watch the soundtracks of video software bearing the mark DOLBY SURROUND * which includes the same encoded surround information as found in Dolby Stereo films, the receiver can provide you with 2 Dolby Surround programs (Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby 3ch Logic). Dolby Pro Logic: Select this mode when the optional rear speakers are connected (as well as a center speaker). Dolby 3ch Logic: Select this mode when a center speaker is connected without rear speakers. Notes: • The surround processor has no effect on monaural sources. • The surround processor cannot be used for recording. Using JVC’s Hall Surround You need to connect one set of rear speakers to obtain the full effect. Once you have adjusted the Hall Surround, the receiver memorizes the settings. On the front panel: 1. Press SURROUND MODE so that the Control % %% %% / fi fifi fifi buttons work for selecting the surround modes. The lamp next to the button lights up. 2.

The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate JVC audio components through the remote sensor on the receiver. To use this remote control system, you need to connect JVC audio components through the COMPU LINK- 3 (SYNCHRO) jacks (see below) in addition to the connections using cables with RCA pin plugs (see page 8). Notes: • If your audio component has two COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) jacks, you can use either one. If it has only one COMPU LINK-3 (SYNCHRO) jack, connect it so that it is the last item in the series of components. (For example, the turntable or CD player in the diagram above.) • Refer also to the manuals supplied with your audio components. This remote control system allows you to use four functions listed below. 77777 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. For details, see pages 38 and 39. Note: Aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the receiver. 77777 Automatic Source Selection When you press the play (3 3 3 3 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 the remote control, the selected component begins playing immediately. In both cases, the previously selected source continues playing without sound for a few seconds. 77777 Automatic Power On/Off (only possible with the COMPU LINK-3 connection) Both the CD player and cassette deck turn on and off along with the receiver. When you turn on the receiver, the CD player or cassette deck will turn on automatically, depending on which component has been previously selected. When you turn off the receiver, both the CD player and cassette deck will turn off. 77777 Synchronized Recording Synchronized recording means the cassette deck starts recording as soon as a CD or a record begins playing. To use synchronized recording, follow these steps: 1 Put a tape in the cassette deck, and a disc in the CD player (or a record on the turntable). 2 Press the record (¶) button and the pause (8) button on the cassette deck at the same time. This puts the cassette deck into recording pause. Note: 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 or on the turntable. 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 your CD player is playing in program mode, a 4-second blank is recorded between tracks so that the music scan feature of your cassette deck can be used on the recorded tape. • 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. Turntable Cassette deck CD player COMPU LINK – 3 (SYNCHRO) RX-772VBK[J]_0052-001A.En.31-37 97.4.8, 6:36 PM 35

The AV COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate JVC video components (TV and VCR) through the receiver. CONNECTIONS: To use this remote control system, you need to connect the video components you want to operate, following the procedures below. CAUTION: The AV COMPU LINK remote control system cannot control the video components connected to the VIDEO jacks on the receiver. Use only VCR jacks for the VCR jacks. 1. Connect your VCR and TV as follows, using the cables with the monaural mini-plugs (not supplied). 2. Connect the VCR and TV as follows. VCR TV • When using an S-VHS VCR, connect it as follows: See also page 9. 3. When turning on the TV for the first time after the AV COMPU LINK connection, turn the TV volume to the minimum using the TV volume control on the TV. S-VHS VCR TV To video input 1 S-video jack (using S-video cable) To video input 2 jack (using video cable) DO NOT connect the VCR IN (PLAY) jack. • When using a VHS VCR, connect it as follows: See also page 9.

Note: Refer also to the manuals supplied with your video components. 77777 Remote Control of the TV through the Remote Sensor on the Receiver You can control the TV through the remote sensor on the receiver using this remote control. For details, see page 39. Note: Aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the receiver when operating the TV. (However, to operate the VCR, always aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the VCR.) 77777 One-Touch Video Play Simply by inserting a video cassette without its safety tab into the VCR, you can enjoy the video playback without setting other switches manually. The receiver automatically turns on and changes the source to “VCR.” The TV automatically turns on and changes the input mode to the position you can view the VCR playback. When you insert a video cassette with its safety tab, press the play (3 3 3 3 3) button on the VCR or on the remote control. So, you can get the same result. Note: When you connect an S-VHS VCR as described on page 36, you cannot see the on-screen displays (such as Visual Confirmation and Menus) since the AV COMPU LINK Remote Control System automatically changes the TV input mode to “Video input 1” when you operate the S-VHS VCR. If you do not mind stopping watching the picture, you can then show the on-screen displays after changing the TV input mode to the position (Video input 2) the receiver is connected to. 77777 Automatic Selection of TV’s Input Mode • When you select “TV SOUND” as the source to play on the receiver, the TV automatically changes the input mode to the TV tuner so that you can watch TV. • When you select “VIDEO” as the source to play on the receiver, the TV automatically changes the input mode to the Video Input 2 so that you can watch the playback picture. • When you select “VCR” as the source to play on the receiver, the TV automatically changes the input mode to the correct position (either Video Input 1 or 2) so that you can watch the playback picture. Note: When you select “TV SOUND” as the source on the receiver, you cannot see the on-screen displays (such as Visual Confirmation and the menu function) since the AV COMPU LINK remote control system automatically changes the TV’ input mode to the TV tuner. If you do not mind stopping listening to the TV sounds, you can then show the on-screen displays after changing the TV input mode to the position (Video input 2) the receiver is connected to. 77777 Automatic Power On/Off The TV and VCR turn on and off along with the receiver. When you turn on the receiver; • If the previously selected source is “VCR,” the TV and VCR will turn on automatically. • If the previously selected source is “VIDEO” or “TV SOUND,” only the TV will turn on automatically. When you turn off the receiver, the TV and VCR will turn off. Note: If you turn off the receiver while recording on the VCR, the VCR will not turn off, but continue recording.
