Using the DSP Modes
The built-in Surround Processor provides three types of the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) mode — 3D-
PHONIC mode, DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) mode and Surround mode (Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic
and JVC’s Theater Surround.)
On the 3D-PHONIC mode
The 3D-PHONIC mode gives you such a
nearly surround effect as it 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 of research on sound localization
technology carried out at JVC for many
years and makes it possible to reproduce the
surround sound with only two front
speakers.
On the DAP mode
The sound heard in a concert hall or club
consists of direct sound and indirect sound
— early reflections and reflections from
behind. Direct sounds reach the listener
directly without any reflection. On the other
hand, indirect sounds are delayed by the
distances of the ceiling and walls. These
direct sounds and indirect sounds are the
most important elements of the acoustic
surround effects. The DAP mode can create
these important elements, and gives you a
real “being there” feeling.
On Surround mode
With this receiver, you can use two types of
the surround mode.
Dolby Surround (Dolby Digital and
Dolby Pro Logic)
Used to watch the soundtracks of software
encoded with Dolby Digital (bearing the
mark
D I G I T A L
) or with Dolby Surround
(bearing the mark
DOLBY SURROUND
).
Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic can be
selected automatically according to
software played back.
JVC’s Theater Surround
In order to reproduce a more realistic sound field in your listening room while playing
soundtracks of software encoded with Dolby Digital (bearing the mark
D I G I T A L
) or
with Dolby Surround (bearing the mark
DOLBY SURROUND
), Theater Surround has been
designed to create a real “being there” feeling.

Notes:
• The DSP modes has no effect
on monaural sources.
• You can not use the two types
of the DSP modes at the same
time.
Note:
To enjoy the software encoded
with Dolby Digital, you must
connect the source component
using the digital terminal on the
rear of this receiver.
