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.

About This Manual

This manual is organized as follows:

• The manual mainly explains operations using the buttons and controls on the unit. You can also use the buttons on the remote control if they have the same or similar names (or marks) as those on the unit.

If operation using the remote control is different from that using the unit, it is then explained.

• Basic and common information that is the same for many functions is grouped in one place, and is not repeated in each procedure. For instance, we do not repeat the information about turning on/off the unit, setting the volume, changing the sound effects, and others, which are explained in the section “Common Operations” on pages

10 and 11.

• The following marks are used in this manual:

Gives you warnings and cautions to prevent damage or risk of fire/electric shock.

Also gives you information which is not good for obtaining the best possible performance from the unit.

Gives you information and hints you had better know.

Power sources

• When unplugging from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the AC power cord.

DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet hands.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in the following cases:

• After starting heating in the room

• In a damp room

• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm place

Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this case, leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, and then plug it in again.

Others

• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit, unplug the unit and consult your dealer before operating any further.

• If you are not going to operate the unit for an extended period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.

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 dealer.

Precautions

Installation

• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold—between 5˚C and 35˚C.

• Install the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat built-up in the unit.

• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.

• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference with TV.

DO NOT install the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.

Playing Back Discs

Continued

Disc Information

This unit has been designed to play back the following discs—CD, CD-R, CD-RW and VIDEO CD (VCD).

You can play back the discs containing the tracks in audio CD format or MP3 files in ISO 9660 Level 1 or Joliet format.

• In this instruction, we call a disc recorded MP3 files “MP3 disc,” “folder” is referred to as “group” and “file” is referred to as “track.”

• This unit cannot play CD-I (CD-I ready), CD-ROM and

Photo CD.

When playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs

• Before playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

• User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD-

ReWritable) can be played only if they are already

“finalized.”

• This unit cannot play “multi-session” discs.

• This unit cannot play “packet write” discs.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play on this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if the player’s lens is dirty.

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is because the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular discs.

About color system

• This unit accommodates both NTSC and PAL system and can playback discs recorded with either system.

To change the color system, see page 8.

Notes for MP3 files

• The unit can only recognize files with “MP3” or “mp3” as the extensions, which can be in any combination of upper and lower case.

• This unit recognizes up to 256 folders (including the root folder) and 640 files on a disc.

• It is recommended that you record your material at a 44.1

kHz sampling rate, using the 128 kbps data transfer rate.

• Some MP3 files or discs may not be played back because of their characteristics or recording conditions.

• MP3 discs requires a longer readout time than regular discs because of the complexity of the folder/file configuration.

• MP3i and MP3 Pro are not available.

• This unit supports ID3 Tag ver. 1/1.1.

General notes

In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your discs and the mechanism clean.

• Store discs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on shelves.

• Keep the unit’s disc cover closed when not in use.

• Continued use of irregular shape discs (heart-shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage the unit.

• indicates types of disc available for the operation. (Unavailable disc types are not shown.)

• If “ ” appears on the TV when you press a button, the disc cannot accept the operation you have tried to do.

Recording

IMPORTANT:

• It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright owner.

• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME +/–. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.

• While recording, you can hear sound modes through the speakers or headphones (see page 11). However, the sound is recorded without these effects.

• If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static, the unit may be too close to a TV. Increase the distance between the TV and the unit.

• You can use only type I (Normal) tapes for recording.

To protect your recording

Cassettes have two small tabs on the back to protect unexpected erasure or re-recording.

To protect your recording, remove these tabs.

To re-record on a protected tape, cover the holes with adhesive tape.

To keep the best recording and playback sound quality

If the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers of the cassette decks become dirty, the following will occur:

• Impaired sound quality

• Discontinuous sound

• Fading

• Incomplete erasure

• Difficulty in recording

To clean the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers

Use a cotton swab moistened with alcohol.

Handling discs

• Remove the disc from its case by holding it at the edge while pressing the center hole lightly.

• Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the disc.

• Put the disc back in its case after use to prevent warping.

• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc when placing it back in its case.

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes, and moisture.

Handling cassette tapes
