Technical Notes

If you have a 5.1‑channel home theater system, the Rear Virtual Surround feature allows you to simulate a 6.1‑channel setup without adding an extra speaker. When the source is encoded in 6.1 (Dolby Digital EX or DTS‑ES), the rear surround information is distributed across the left and right surround channels to recreate the intended effect.

Advanced Digital Acoustics Processor (DAP)
JVC’s DAP technology digitally recreates acoustic environments—such as halls, pavilions, and clubs—directly in your living room. Developed in collaboration with leading acousticians, this system uses extensive data to simulate sound fields with exceptional realism. Each sound mode is refined through repeated critical listening to ensure natural, lifelike reflections and an immersive audio experience.
