Audio/Video Control Receiver Rx-dp10vbk

IntroductionWe 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 performancefrom your unit, and retain this manual for future reference.FeaturesPrecautionsTHX Surround EX (DTS-ES compatible)THX Surround EX is a format that has additional left and rightsurround back channels on the basis of Dolby Digital 5.1channels. It improves the definition and the sense of soundmovement in surround (rear) channels. This receiver is also compatible with DTS Extended Surround(DTS-ES)—another multichannel surround containingadditional left and right surround back channels.7.1 channel DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor)Sound field simulation technology allows precise ambiencerecreation of existing theaters and halls. Thanks to the highperformance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and high-capacitymemory, you can enjoy 7.1-channel surround by playing 2channel or multichannel software.Multichannel headphone virtual surroundsound—3D HEADPHONEThe built-in headphone virtual surround system is compatible withmultichannel software like Dolby Digital, DTS Surround, etc.Thanks to the new signal processing algorithms used by the highperformance DSP, you can enjoy a natural surround sound throughthe headphones.192 kHz/24 bit PEM DD audio DA converterThe JVC-exclusive converter is now upgraded to be fullycompatible with DVD Audio’s high specifications. Subtle nuancesare accurately reproduced.CC (Compensative Compression) converterCC Converter eliminates jitter and ripples, achieving a drasticreduction in digital distortion by processing the digital music datain 24 bit–quantization and by expanding the sampling frequencyto 176.4 kHz (for fs 44.1 kHz signals)/192 kHz (for fs 48 kHzsignals). By using the CC Converter, you can obtain a naturalsound field from any source.Multi-room operationsYou can connect two pairs of front speakers to theRX-DP10VBK, and use them to listen to different sources in thedifferent rooms (Main room and Sub-room) at the same time.RF/IR multi-brand/learning remote controlThe remote control sends out not only IR (infrared) signals butalso RF (radio frequency) signals as coded commands to controlthe receiver. The RF rod antenna can receive the RF signals sentfrom the remote control to operate the receiver. In addition, thesupplied IR signal transmitter can transmit IR signals which cancontrol other video components. The remote control provided for this receiver can transmitcontrol signals for many manufacturers’ components, and canlearn and store any signals.COMPU LINK/TEXT COMPU LINK/AV COMPULINK remote control systemsThese COMPU LINK remote control systems allow you tooperate other JVC audio/video components from this receiver.Power sources When unplugging the receiver from the wall outlet, always pullthe 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 periodof time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.Multi-room operations Do not use the remote control outdoors or install the speakersoutdoors. When operating the receiver from the place where you cannot seethe receiver (for example, when controlling the receiver installedin the living room from the kitchen), pay attention to the followingnot to surprise other people:– Be careful not to turn up the volume so high when controllingthe receiver without listening to the playback sound.– Be careful not to surprise other people with a sudden soundcoming out of the receiver when turning it on. (A sudden stop ofthe sound may also surprise other people.) If the receiver operates by itself or malfunctions, the followingcauses will be considered:– Interference to RF communication between the receiver and theremote control from outside.– The remote control is operated unintentionally. For example, abook is placed on the remote control, possibly, depressing somebuttons on the remote control. If your neighbour uses the same or similar RF remote controlsystem, the receiver may happen to receive the RF signals sentfrom such an RF remote control system, which could cause yourreceiver to be operated unintentionally. If this happens, set theBAND selectors both on the rear and on the remote control toanother band (either BAND 1 or BAND 2)—see page 15 fordetails.If the problem still persists, stop using the RF rod antenna and theremote control, and consult your JVC dealer or the nearest JVCService Center.VentilationSeven high power amplifiers built in this receiver will generate heatinside the cabinet. When the temperature inside the cabinetincreases, the internal fan automatically starts rotating to reduce theinternal temperature. For safety, observe the following carefully. Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poorventilation could overheat and damage the receiver. Do not block the ventilation openings or holes. (If the ventilationopenings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., theheat may not be able to get out.)Others Should any metallic object or liquid fall onto the unit, unplug theunit 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 ascosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups, etc.) ontop of this receiver. Do not disassemble the unit since there are no user serviceableparts inside.If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult yourJVC dealer.2EN01-16 RX-DP10VBK[J] f201.6.19, 0:25 PM
