Setting The Dynamic Range; Attenuating The Input Signal; Turning Analog Direct On And Off; Making Sounds Natural - JVC RX-8040B Instructions Manual

Setting the Dynamic Range

You can enjoy a powerful sound at night using Midnight Mode.
Press MIDNIGHT MODE so that "MID NIGHT: 1" or
"MID NIGHT: 2" appear on the display.
The MIDNIGHT MODE indicator also lights up.
MID NIGHT: 1 Select when you want to reduce the dynamic
range a little.
MID NIGHT: 2 Select when you want to apply the compress
effect fully (useful at midnight).
MID NIGHT: OFF Select when you want to enjoy surround with
its full dynamic range (no effect applied).
Notes:
• If Analog Direct is in use (see the right column), Midnight Mode is
temporarily canceled.
• Midnight Mode is not valid for DVD MULTI playback mode.

Attenuating the Input Signal

When the input level of the analog source is too high, the sounds
will be distorted. If this happens, you need to attenuate the input
signal level to prevent the sound distortion.
• Once you have made an adjustment, it is memorized for each
analog source.
Press and hold INPUT ATT (INPUT ANALOG) so that the
INPUT ATT indicator lights up on the display.
• Each time you press and hold the button, the input attenuator
mode turns on ("ATT ON") or off ("NORMAL").
Notes:
• This function is applied to only the Zone 1 analog sources.
• This function is not valid when DVD MULTI is selected or when
Analog Direct is activated.

Turning Analog Direct On and Off

You can enjoy the sound closer to the original source by overriding
the sound adjustments such as Midnight Mode (see the left column),
Bass Boost (see page 24), Equalization pattern (see page 40),
speaker output level adjustments (see page 40), and Surround and
DSP modes (see pages 42 to 49). You can only adjust the volume
level and the subwoofer output level while Analog Direct is in use.
• Once you have made an adjustment, it is memorized for each
analog source.
Press ANALOG DIRECT so that "A DIRECT" appears on the
display.
The lamp on the button also lights up.
• Each time you press the button, Analog Direct turns on and off
(the lamp goes off) alternately.
Notes:
• This function is applied to only the Zone 1 analog sources.
• When digital input mode is in use, Analog Direct is not available.
• Turning on Surround or DSP mode cancels Analog Direct and
previously selected sound adjustments are recalled.
• If Analog Direct is in use, Midnight Mode (see the left column) is
Remote temporarily canceled.
NOT
• Turning on Analog Direct cancels Input Attenuator (see the left
column) and CC Converter (see below).

Making Sounds Natural

JVC's CC (Compression Compensative) 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) on the front speakers.
By using the CC Converter, you can obtain a natural sound field
from both digital and analog sources.
Press CC CONVERTER so that the lamp on the button lights
up.
• Each time you press the button, CC Converter turns on and off (the
lamp goes off) alternately.
Notes:
• This function is applied to only the Zone 1 sources.
• You cannot use this function while Analog Direct is in use. If you
turn on Analog Direct while this function is in use, this function will
be canceled.
