The rs-Vp2 accepts digital audio sourced from dVd players, satellite receivers, digital set top
boxes, Hd-dVd players, blu-ray players, game consoles, and other video components with digital
audio. These inputs are compatible with most consumer digital audio formats, including CD-Audio
(44.1kHz/16 bit LPCM), Dolby Digital, and DTS. The coaxial digital audio inputs are compatible with
any format with a sampling frequency between 24kHz and 192kHz, and with a data word structure up
to 24 bits in length. The optical digital audio inputs are compatible with any format with a sampling
frequency between 24kHz and 96kHz and with a data word structure up to 24 bits in length.
The HDMI audio inputs are compatible with all of the HDMI 1.3 audio formats.
Audio Outputs
There are two discrete digital audio outputs, one coaxial and one optical. Both are active at the same
time, with the selected input audio stream.
The HDMI 1.3 output carries both audio and video.
12V Trigger Outputs
There are two 12-volt trigger ports that are designed to supply a combined total of 500mA.
RS232 Serial Connection
This connection is used as an interface to control the rs-Vp2 with an automation system
and to update the software in the RS-VP2. The most current software version is available at
www.jvc.com/pro.
Power Supply Input
The rS-VP2 comes with a 6V@7A AC-to-DC converter power supply, which accepts
100-240 VAC at 50/60Hz.

Initial Setup
STEP 1 - Power Up
1. Attach the removable power cord to the external power supply.
2. Plug the removable power cord into a wall outlet or power conditioner, if applicable.
3. Plug the small connector attached to the cable that comes out of the power supply into
the RS-VP2. The RS-VP2 should power on and display ‘Reference Series RS-VP2 / by JVC’
on the Front Panel Display (FPD). If this does not happen, check all connections and
verify that the power outlet does supply power with another device.
IMPORTANT: Use only the power supply that came with your RS-VP2, or a
replacement procured directly from JVC.
STEP 2 - Connect the RS-VP2 to the Display
Displays with a DVI or HDMI Input
based on the factory default settings, just connecting an rs-Vp2 to a display with an HdMi or
dVi input should complete this step as the default output is for the HdMi output to be active with
a RGB 4:4:4 signal which is the standard signal for a DVI/HDMI connection. Press the Menu
button once to confirm that you can see the On Screen Display (OSD).
Displays without a DVI or HDMI input:
follow steps 1-4 for a Component input and steps 1-8 for an rGbHV input
Press the Menu button on the front panel of the RS-VP2 once. You should see ‘MAIN MENU / INPUT
SELECT’ on the FPD.
1. Press the Output Setup button once. You should see ‘MAIN MENU / OUTPUT SETUP’
on the FPD.
2. Press the
u
button. You should see ‘OUTPUT SETUP / Analog/Digital’ on the FPD.
3. Press the
p
button and you should see ‘Analog/Digital / HDMI (Digital)’. Press the
p
button once so that ‘Analog/Digital / BNC (Analog)’ is displayed on the FPD.
Press the Enter button.
4. You should now see the OSD
5. Press the
q
button one time and you should see ‘OUTPUT SETUP / Format’ on the FPD.
6. Press the
u
button one time to enter the Format menu.
7. Press the
q
button until you see ‘Format / VGA’ and then press the Enter button.
8. You should now see the OSD
STEP 3 - Selecting the Optimal Output Resolution on the RS-VP2 for
the Connected Display
Once you have installed the RS-VP2 into the system, you must properly configure it for the display
device being driven. If the OSD is not visible on the display’s screen when you press one of the
menu or sub-menu (Output Setup/Config./Picture Control/Input Adjust) buttons on the remote
control, then you must complete Step 2 before continuing.
Determine the optimal output resolution to set the RS-VP2 to get the best picture from the display.
To do this correctly, the native resolution or maximum resolution of the display must be known.
