EN01_11.RX-9000V[J]/f 10 00.2.15, 2:45 PM Putting Batteries in the Remote Control Connecting the Power Cord

Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first. Before plugging the receiver into an AC outlet, make sure that all connections have been made. 1. On the back of the remote control, remove the battery cover. Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.

Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables and the 2. Insert batteries. Make sure to match the polarity: antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. We (+) to (+). recommend that you use a coaxial cable to connect the antenna, since it is well-shielded against interference.

Note: The preset settings such as preset channels and sound adjustment may be erased in a few days in the following cases: – When you unplug the power cord. – When a power failure occurs.

3. Replace the cover. 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.

If the remote control cannot transmit signals and operate the receiver correctly, replace the batteries. Use two R6P(SUM3)/ AA(15F) type dry-cell batteries. • When the remote control transmits a signal, the remote operation lamp on the remote control lights up.

Note: When you can aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the receiver, you can operate the receiver at a distance of up to 23 feet (7 m).

CAUTION: Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells: • Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity: (+) to (+). • 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.

EN31_41.RX-9000V[J]/f 31 00.2.15, 4:33 PM Using the DSP Modes

The built-in Surround Processor provides three types of the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) mode — Surround mode, DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) mode and 3D-PHONIC mode. The following operations are only possible while the receiver is ready for the main room operations, and are only used for the main room sources.

Each channel is completely independent from other channel signals to avoid interference, therefore, you can obtain much better sound quality with much stereo and surround effects. The Dolby Digital decoder built in this receiver can create much more realistic sound field in your listening room. You may feel as if you were in a real theater. In addition, Dolby Digital enables stereo rear sounds, and sets the cutoff frequency of the rear treble at 20 kHz, compared to 7 kHz for Dolby Pro Logic. These facts enhance the sound movement and being-there feelings much more than Dolby Pro Logic. • To enjoy the software encoded with Dolby Digital, you must connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this receiver. (See page 9.)

3D-PHONIC modes The 3D-PHONIC mode gives you such a nearly surround effect as is reproduced through the Dolby Surround decoder, which is widely used to reproduce sounds with a feeling of movement like those experienced in movie theaters. The 3D-PHONIC mode is the result Direct sounds of research on sound localization technology carried out at JVC for many years. This mode can be used when the front speakers are connected to this receiver (without respect to the rear/center speaker connection). No adjustments are required for the 3D-PHONIC modes. By simply selecting one of the 3D-PHONIC modes, you can enjoy the 3D- PHONIC effect. • You can select “3D ACTION” only when playing an analog or linear PCM (digital) source. • You can select “3D DIGITAL” only when playing a source encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS Digital Surround. • You can select “3D L. THEATER” and “3D S. THEATER” when only front speakers are connected to this receiver and “REAR SPK” and “CENTER SPK” are set to “NONE” (see page 24).

3D ACTION: Best for action and war movies — where the action is fast and explosive. 3D DIGITAL: Reproduces multichannel source encoded with Dolby Digital or with DTS Digital Surround. 3D L. (large) THEATER: Reproduces the sound field of a large theater (where the seating capacity is about 1,000). 3D S. (small) THEATER: Reproduces the sound field of a small theater (where the seating capacity is about 500).

DVD MULTI Playback Mode This receiver provides the DVD MULTI playback mode for reproducing the analog discrete 5.1 channel output mode of the DVD player or other equipment. You can adjust the DVD MULTI playback mode while playing back a video software such as a DVD using the analog discrete 5.1 channel output mode. • For the DVD MULTI playback mode connection, see page 8. • For details on the DVD MULTI playback mode, see page 41. 33
