Digital Connections
By connecting the receiver and the source component through the
digital terminals, sound reproduction quality will be much improved.
In addition, you can enjoy multi-channel reproduction and some
other convenient functions.
IMPORTANT:
-When connecting a video component using the digital
terminals, you also need to connect it to the video jacks on
the rear. Without connecting it to the video jacks, you can
view no 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 Setting the Digital Input Terminals on
page 22.
-“Select the digital input mode correctly. For details, see
Selecting the Analog or Digital Input Mode on page 13.
Notes:
-When shipped from the factory, the DIGITAL IN terminals have
been set for use with the following components:
-“DIGITAL 1 (coaxial): For DVD player
-“DIGITAL 2 (optical): For CD player
Only for RX-6040B/RX-6042S:
-“DIGITAL 3 (optical): For digital TV broadcast tuner
-When you want to operate the CD player or CD recorder using the
COMPU LINK remote control system (see page 30), connect it also
as described in Analog Connections (see page 7).
-When you want to operate a DVD player or TV using the AV
COMPU LINK remote control system (see page 31), connect it also
as described in Analog Connections (see pages 8 and 9).
Connecting the Power Cord
Before plugging the receiver into an AC outlet, make sure that all
connections have been made.
Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.
Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables and the
antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen 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.
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. Digital input terminals
You can connect any digital components having coaxial or optical
digital output terminal.
Digital coaxial cable (not supplied)
between digital coaxial terminals
Digital optical cable (not supplied)
between digital optical terminals
Before connecting a digital
optical cable, unplug the
protective plug. When the component has a digital
optical output terminal, connect it to the
DIGITAL 2 (CD)-or DIGITAL 3 (TV)
for RX-6040B/RX-6042S-terminal,
using a digital optical cable (not
supplied).When the component has a digital
coaxial output terminal, connect it to
the DIGITAL 1 (DVD) terminal, using a
digital coaxial cable (not supplied).

DTS* 2
DTS is another digital signal compression method, developed by
Digital Theater Systems, Inc., and enables multi-channel encoding
and decoding (1ch up to 6.1ch).
- When DTS signal is detected through the digital input, the
indicator lights up on the display.
DTS Digital Surround
DTS Digital Surround (DTS SURROUND) is another discrete
5.1-channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD
software.
Compared to Dolby Digital, the DTS Digital Surround format has a
lower audio compression rate which enables it to add breadth and
depth to the sounds reproduced. As such, DTS Digital Surround
features natural, solid, and clear sound.
Another multi-channel digital encoding format introduced by Digital
Theater Systems, Inc. is DTS Extended Surround (DTS-ES).
It greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and space
expression by adding the third surround channel-surround back
channel.
DTS-ES includes two signal formats with different surround signal
recording methods-DTS-ES Discrete 6.1ch and DTS-ES Matrix
6.1ch.
- You can use Virtual Surround Back (see page 22) when playing
back DTS-ES software. This function creates the great surround
effect from the behind as if you have connected the surround back
speakers.
DTS 96/24
In recent years, there has been increasing interest in higher sampling
rates both for recording and for reproducing at home. Higher
sampling rates allow wider frequency range and greater bit depths
provide extended dynamic range.
DTS 96/24 is a multi-channel digital signal format (fs 96 kHz/24
bits) introduced by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. to deliver better-
than-CD sound quality into the home.
- When DTS 96/24 signal is detected, the
indicator
lights up. You can enjoy its 5.1-channel sound with full-quality.What is Linear PCM?
Uncompressed digital audio data used for DVDs, CDs and Video
CDs.
DVDs support 2 channels with sampling rates of 48/96 kHz, at
quantization of 16/20/24 bits. On the other hand, CDs and Video
CDs are limited to 2 channels with 44.1 kHz at 16 bits.
- When Linear PCM signal is detected, the
indicator lights up.
What is Dual Mono?
Dual Mono can be easily understood when you think of the
bilingual broadcast or the MTS (Multichannel Television Sound)
format used for TV programs (however, the Dual Mono format
is not identical with those analog formats).
This format is now adopted in Dolby Digital, DTS, and so on. It
allows two independent channels (called main channel and sub-
channel) to be recorded separately.
- When Dual Mono signal is detected, the
indicator
lights up. You can select either channel you want to listen to
(see page 21).
When using the Surround mode, the sounds come out of the
activated speakers which the Surround mode requires.
- If either the surround speakers or center speaker is set to NONE
in the speaker setting, the corresponding channel signals are
allocated to and emitted through the front speakers.
- If both the surround speakers and center speaker are set to
NONE in the speaker setting, JVCs original 3D-PHONIC
processing (which has been developed to create the surround
effect through the front speakers only) is used. The 3D-PHONIC
indicator lights up on the display.
3D Headphone Mode-3D H PHONE
If you activate Surround when the front speakers are deactivated,
3D Headphone Mode is activated without respect to the type of
software played back. 3D H PHONE appears on the display
and the DSP and H.PHONE indicators also light up.
