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-DP20VBK 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.

Multi-room operations

You can connect two pairs of front speakers to the

RX-DP20VBK, and use them to listen to different sources in

different rooms (Zone 1 and Zone 2) at the same time.

COMPU LINK/TEXT COMPU LINK/AV COMPU

LINK remote control systems

These COMPU LINK remote control systems allow you to

operate other JVC audio/video components from this 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.

Multi-room operations

• Do not use the remote control outdoors or install the speakers

outdoors.

• When operating the receiver from a place where you cannot see

the receiver (for example, when controlling the receiver installed

in the living room from the kitchen), pay attention to the following

not to surprise other people:

– Be careful not to turn up the volume too high when controlling

the receiver without listening to the playback sound.

– Be careful not to surprise other people with a sudden sound

coming out of the receiver when turning it on. (Stopping the

sound suddenly may surprise people as well.)

• If the receiver operates by itself or malfunctions, the following

causes should be considered:

– Interference to RF communication between the receiver and the

remote control from outside.

– The remote control is operated unintentionally. For example, a

book is placed on the remote control, possibly, depressing some

of its buttons.

• If your neighbour uses the same or similar RF remote control

system, the receiver may happen to receive the RF signals sent

from such an RF remote control system, which could cause your

receiver to be operated unintentionally. If this happens, set the

BAND selectors both on the rear and on the remote control to

another band (either BAND 1 or BAND 2)—see page 17 for

details.

If the problem still persists, stop using the RF rod antenna and the

remote control, and consult your JVC dealer or the nearest JVC

Service Center.

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.

AM Antenna Connections

Connecting the Speakers

For full enjoyment of the THX modes (see page 51), it is

recommended to use THX-certified speakers.

You can connect the following speakers:

• Two pairs of front speakers to produce normal stereo sound.

• One pair of surround speakers to produce a three-dimensional

sound movement and environmental background-effect sounds.

• One or one pair of surround back speakers to enjoy 6.1-channel or

7.1-channel sound reproduction. A pair of the speakers is required

to use THX Ultra2 Cinema and THX Music modes.

• One center speaker to produce a rich sound image by stabilizing

the sound localization (also used to emphasize human voices).

• One powered subwoofer to enhance the bass and to reproduce the

LFE channel recorded in multi-channel software.

For each speaker (except for a subwoofer), connect the (+) and (–)

terminals on the rear panel to the (+) and (–) terminals marked on

the speakers. For connecting a subwoofer, see page 10.

CAUTIONS:

Use only the speakers of the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by

the speaker terminals.

• When connecting to both of the FRONT 1 and FRONT 2 / ZONE

2 SPEAKERS terminals, use speakers with an impedance of

8 Ω to 16 Ω.

• When connecting to either the FRONT 1 or FRONT 2 / ZONE 2

SPEAKERS terminals, use speakers with an impedance of

4 Ω to 16 Ω.

Basic connecting procedure

1 Cut, twist, and remove the insulation at the end of

each speaker signal cable (not supplied).

2 Turn the knob counterclockwise.

3 Insert the speaker signal cable.

4 Turn the knob clockwise.

Continued on the next page.

External 7.1-channel

output component

IMPORTANT:

This receiver is equipped with the following video jacks—composite

video, S-video and component video jacks. You can use any of the

three to connect a video component

However, observe the following points when make connections:

• Composite video signals and S-video signals can be converted

into each other, and can be also converted into component

signals. So incoming signals of both types can be emitted through

all video output jacks. (If both signals are used, the unit

automatically gives priority to S-video signals.)

— Pictures may be distorted if the signals are converted. If this

happens, connect the playback source component and TV using

the cords of the same type.

• When the recording components and this unit are connected

using the video cords or S-video cords, playback components

and this unit need to be connected using the cords of the same

type.

• Component signals cannot be converted. So incoming signals of

this type can be emitted only through the component output jacks.

Notice: Pictures through the video components only

connected to the component input jacks on the rear of this unit

cannot be viewed in Zone 2.

How to view the pictures through an external component

connected to the EXT 7.1CH IN (audio input) jacks

The EXT 7.1CH IN jacks do not have any corresponding video input

jack on the rear. You have to use one of the following methods to

view the pictures through the external component.

• Connect the video output jack on the external component directly

to the TV, and select the connected input on the TV.

• Connect the video output jack on the external component to any

one of unused video input jacks on the rear, then...

1. Select that video input as the video source.

2. Select “EXT 7.1CH” as the audio source.

(See “Selecting different sources for picture and sound”

on page 24).

Video component connections

Use cables with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).

Connect the white plug to the audio left jack, the red plug to the

audio right jack, and the yellow plug to the video jack.

• If your video components have S-video (Y/C-separation) and/or

component video (Y, P

B, PR) jacks, connect them using an S-video

cable (not supplied) and/or component video cable (not supplied).

By using these jacks, you can get better picture quality—in the

order: Component video > S-video > Composite video.

Note:

The ZIST circuit (see page 1) is incorporated for the EXT 7.1CH IN jacks

to clarify the audio signals independently from the video input circuit.

However, if the external component connected to the EXT 7.1CH IN jacks

and this receiver are not connected using video cords (composite, S-

video, or component), noise may happen to be generated when listening

to this external component.

In this case, connect the video output jacks on the external component

and unused video input jacks on this receiver.

Video camera

The VIDEO input terminals on the front panel are convenient when

connecting and disconnecting the component frequently.

• When you do not use the VIDEO input terminals, attach the front

terminal cover (supplied) to these jacks to protect them from dust.

Digital Connections

This receiver is equipped with six DIGITAL IN terminals—three

digital coaxial terminals and three digital optical terminals—and one

DIGITAL OUT (optical) terminal on the rear.

• Another digital optical input terminal is located on the front panel

(see page 12).

IMPORTANT:

• When connecting the DVD player, digital TV broadcast tuner, digital

VCR, or DBS tuner using the digital terminals, you also need to

connect it to the video terminal on the rear. Without connecting it to

the video terminal, you cannot view any playback picture.

• After connecting the components using the DIGITAL IN terminals,

set the following correctly if necessary:

– Set the digital input (DIGITAL IN) terminal setting correctly. For

details, see “9 Setting the Digital Input/Output Terminals—

DIGITAL IN/OUT” on page 42.

– Select the digital input mode correctly. For details, see “Selecting

the Analog or Digital Input Mode” on page 25.

Notes:

• When shipped from the factory, the DIGITAL IN terminals have

been set for use with the following components:

– 1 (coaxial) : For DVD player

– 2 (coaxial) : For CD player

– 3 (coaxial) : For digital TV broadcast tuner

– 4 (optical) : For CD recorder

– 5 (optical) : For MD recorder

– 6 (optical) : For VCR 1 (VCR connected to the VCR 1 jacks)

• When you want to operate the CD player, CD recorder, or MD

recorder using the COMPU LINK or TEXT COMPU LINK remote

control system, connect the target component also as described in

“Analog Connections” (see page 11).

• When you want to operate the VCR, TV or DVD player using the AV

COMPU LINK remote control system, connect the target

component also as described in “Analog Connections” (see pages

13 to 15).

• To use the digital source components for Zone 2, connect them

using analog connection methods as well.

Notes:

• The signal-reachable distance may differ depending on the

operating conditions and circumstances. To improve transmitting

conditions, change the distance to the receiver and the direction to

transmit while operating the remote control.

• To avoid a failure in the reception from the remote control, keep the

connecting cables and the IR signal transmitter’s cable away from

the RF rod antenna.

• If your neighbour uses the same or similar RF remote control

system, the receiver may happen to receive the RF signals sent

from such an RF remote control system, which could cause your

receiver to be operated unintentionally. If this happens, set the

BAND 1/2 selectors (both on the rear and on the remote control) to

another band (either BAND 1 or BAND 2).

If the problem still persists, stop using the RF rod antenna and the

remote control, and consult your JVC dealer or the nearest JVC

Service Center.

Setting Up the IR Signal Transmitter

The IR signal transmitter can retransmit the IR signals.

It allows you to use the AV COMPU LINK system, and to operate

other manufacturers’ components without aiming the remote control

directly at the remote sensor on the target components. In addition,

the IR signal transmitter reduces the possibility of malfunction.

• The IR signal transmitter may not operate the target components

depending on the operating conditions and circumstances—

including the aiming angle and direction of the IR signal

transmitter at the remote sensors of the target components. If

this occurs, changing its aiming angle and direction at the

remote sensors may solve the problem.

To set up the IR signal transmitter

1. Find a place where you can attach the IR signal

transmitter.

• Place the transmitter where the signal can reach the remote

sensor of the target components in a direct line of sight.

• If the cord length of the IR signal transmitter is not long

enough, use an extension cord (not supplied).

2. Attach the double-sided adhesive tape (supplied)

to the IR signal transmitter.

Using the RF Rod Antenna and IR Signal

Transmitter

The combination of the RF rod antenna and the IR signal transmitter

allows you to use the multi-room function more conveniently.

The remote control supplied for this receiver can transmit both RF

signal and IR signal at the same time. This receiver catches the RF

signals emitted from the remote control, and converts them into IR

signals, then transmits the converted signals to the remote sensor on

the other components through the IR signal transmitter.

This means that you can control not only this receiver but also other

components from Zone 2.

Setting Up the RF Rod Antenna

The remote control supplied for this receiver can transmit both RF

(Radio Frequency) signals as well as IR (infrared) signals. The RF

rod antenna can receive the RF signals emitted from the remote

control. So, with the RF rod antenna connected, you can operate the

receiver at a distance of up to 15 m (50 feet) using RF signals sent

from this receiver (more than twice as far as when using IR signals).

Moreover, RF signals can go through walls and other objects in the

house so you need not aim at the receiver directly.

However, if the antenna cannot receive signals stably, you cannot

operate the receiver correctly.

• Without the RF rod antenna connected, you can operate the

receiver with the remote control, aiming the remote control

directly at the remote sensor on the receiver.

To set up the RF rod antenna

1. Insert the RF rod antenna onto the RF REMOTE

ANTENNA terminal.

2. Rotate the fixing nut to attach the RF rod

antenna firmly.
