Introduction
We would like to thank you for purchasing one of our JVC products.
Before operating this unit, read this manual carefully and thoroughly to obtain the best possible performance
from your unit, and retain this manual for future reference.
Features
THX Ultra2 certified
The newly introduced THX Ultra2 standard ensures the highest
sound and picture quality and the most reliable performance by
using seven-channel amplification to reproduce multi-channel
software. In newly developed THX Ultra2 Cinema Mode and
THX Music Mode, all multi-channel software (5.1 channels or
more) is automatically detected and proper processing is applied
to improve directional and ambient surround information through
four surround speakers—two at the side and two at the back.
Compatible with various audio formats including
DTS 96/24
RX-DP20VSL allows you to enjoy newly introduced audio
formats such as Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS-ES,
DTS NEO:6, and DTS 96/24.
• This unit is also compatible with Dual Mono signals recorded in
Dolby Digital and DTS discs.
7.1 channel DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor)
Sound field simulation technology allows precise ambience
recreation of existing theaters and halls. Thanks to the high-
performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and high-capacity
memory, you can enjoy 7.1-channel surround by playing 2-
channel or multi-channel software.
Multi-channel headphone virtual surround
sound—3D HEADPHONE
The built-in headphone virtual surround system is compatible with
multi-channel software. You can enjoy a natural surround sound
through the headphones.
192 kHz/24 bit PEM DD audio DA converter
The JVC-exclusive converter is now upgraded to be fully
compatible with DVD Audio’s high specifications. Subtle nuances
are accurately reproduced.
K2 Technology
K2 technology has been designed to enable natural audio
reproduction, achieving a drastic reduction in digital distortion
and creating original sound ambience with high precision.
CC (Compensative Compression) Converter
CC Converter eliminates jitter and ripples, achieving a drastic
reduction in digital distortion by processing the digital music data
in 24 bit–quantization and by expanding the sampling frequency
to 128 kHz (for fs 32 kHz signals)/176.4 kHz (for fs 44.1 kHz
signals)/192 kHz (for fs 48 kHz signals). By using the CC
Converter, you can obtain a natural sound field from any source.
ZIST (Zero Interference audio Signal
Transmission) circuit
The ZIST circuit incorporated for the EXT 7.1 CH IN (input)
jacks successfully eliminates the video signal interference to the
audio signals by making the cold side of the audio signals
completely independent from the ground.
COMPU LINK remote control system
The COMPU LINK remote control system allows you to operate
other JVC audio/video components from this receiver.
TEXT COMPU LINK remote control system
The TEXT COMPU LINK remote control system has been
developed to deal with the disc information recorded on the CD
Text and MDs. Using this information on the discs, you can
operate the CD player or MD recorder through the receiver.
Precautions
Power sources
• When unplugging the receiver from the wall outlet, always pull
the plug, not the AC power cord.
• Do not handle the AC power cord with wet hands.
• If you are not going to operate the receiver for an extended period
of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.
Ventilation
The seven high power amplifiers built in this receiver will generate
heat inside the cabinet.
For safety, observe the following carefully:
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor
ventilation could overheat and damage the receiver.
• Do not block the ventilation openings or holes. (If the ventilation
openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the
heat may not be able to get out.)
Others
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall onto the unit, unplug the
unit and consult your dealer before operating any further.
• Do not use this receiver in a bathroom or places with water.
• Do not place any containers filled with water or liquids (such as
cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups, etc.) on
top of this receiver.
• Do not disassemble the unit since there are no user serviceable
parts inside.
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your
JVC dealer.
