Easy operation

Great sound

Triple Tray

Thank you for purchasing the JVC Compact Component System.

We hope it will be a valued addition to your home, giving you years of enjoyment.

Be sure to read this instruction manual carefully before operating your new stereo system.

Here you will find all the information you need to set up and use the system.

For questions that are not be answered in the manual, please contact your dealer.

Features

Here are some of the things that make your System powerful and easy to use.

o The controls and operations have been redesigned to make them very easy to use, so you can spend your time listening to music.

• With the One Touch Operation feature of JVC’s

COMPU PLAY

you can turn on the System and start the radio, the Cassette Deck, or the CD Player with a single touch.

o To get such great sound from such a compact package the System has:

• Programmed sound mode includes live surround effects

D. CLUB, HALL,

and

STADIUM

. It also includes S.E.A. (Sound Effect Amplifier) effects

ROCK, CLASSIC,

and

POP

.

o CD changer function can operate 3 discs.

• Discs can be changed during play using the

TRIPLE TRAY

.

• Continuous, random or program play of 3 discs.

Includes a timer for recording broadcasts while you are out, and an easy-to-use Sleep timer.

How This Manual Is Organized

In this manual we have incorporated some special features:

• Basic information that is the same for many different functions is grouped in one place, and not repeated in each procedure. For instance, in the section on playing a CD, we do not repeat the information about setting the volume and the sound conditions, which are discussed in the Common

Operations section.

• Name of buttons and controls are written in all capital letters like this: SOUND MODE.

• When we are talking about the Function, rather than the BUTTON or DISPLAY, only the first letter is capitalized.

The manual has a table of contents to help you quickly look up what you want to know.

We’ve enjoyed making this manual for you, and hope you will use it to enjoy the sound and many features built into your System.

IMPORTANT CAUTIONS

1. Installation of the Unit

• Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold. (Between 5°C and 35°C or

41°F and 95°F.)

• Leave sufficient distance between the Unit and a TV.

• Do not use the Unit in a place subject to vibrations.

2. Power cord

• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!

• Some power (9 watts) is always consumed as long as the power cord is connected to the wall outlet.

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

3. Malfunctions, etc.

• There are no user serviceable parts inside. If anything goes wrong, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer.

• Do not insert any metallic object into the Unit.

Program or Repeat Play for the discs in CD1, CD2 and CD3. Repeat Play can repeat all the tracks on all the CD’s, the tracks on one of the CD’s or one track on one CD. There is also the Tray Lock function, which safely keeps discs in the trays.

Here are the basic things you need to know to play a CD and locate the different selections on it. Each selection is called a track, so when we are talking about locating a track, we are also talking about how you find a certain song or performance.

Finding the Beginning of the Current Selection —————

Press the P. DOWN

4 or ¢ P. UP button (or the 1 or ¡ button on

the Remote Control) during play.

o Make sure that you press the P. DOWN

4 or ¢ P. UP button (or the 1 or ¡ button on the

Press the P. DOWN

4 or ¢ P. UP button (or the 1 or ¡ button on

the Remote Control) during play.

o Make sure that you press the P. DOWN

4 or ¢ P. UP button (or the 1 or ¡ button on the

Remote Control) in the same direction as that in which the tape is playing. Searching stops at the beginning of the next selection, and the next selection starts automatically.

Music Scan works by detecting a 4-second long blank at the beginning of each selection, so it won’t work well if your tape has:

• No blank at the beginning of a selection .

• Noise (often caused by much use or poor quality dubbing) which fills the blank.

• Long, very soft passages or pauses in a selection. The scan will detect these as 4-second long blanks.

If this happens, just scan again until you reach the selection you want.

Reverse Mode

You can play both sides of a cassette, or play both the tapes in the two Cassette Decks continuously.

Press the REV. MODE button to switch to Reverse Mode.

The indicator changes with each press of the button as shown.

= = = = (back to the beginning)

: The Cassette Deck automatically stops after playing both sides of the tape being played (or set to play).

: After playing both sides of the tape being played (or set to play), the Unit always checks to see if a tape is in the other deck. If there is, it automatically starts playing that tape. This

Continuous Play function works regardless of which deck starts first. The tapes are played continuously until the

Recording onto a cassette from any of the sound sources is simple. Just place a tape in Deck B, have the source ready, make one or two settings, and you’re ready to record. For each source the procedure is a little bit different and now we’ll explain just what to do for each one. If you forget, just come back to the section which has the specific procedures you need. But first, here are a few things to make your recordings better.

Things to Know Before You Start Recording ———————

o

It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast or cable programme and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic embodied therein.

o When you want to record onto both sides of a tape, you can set Reverse mode on to do so. However, recording automatically stops after recording in the

2 direction in Reverse mode. Therefore, make sure that the tape direction is

3 when recording with Reverse mode on.

o The recording level, which is the volume at which the new tape is being made, is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME control on the System. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.

o Two small tabs on the back of the cassette tape, one for side A and one for side B, can be removed to prevent accidental erasure or re-recording. To record on a cassette with the tabs removed, you must cover the holes with adhesive tape first.

However, when a Type II tape is used, only cover part of the hole as shown, since the other part of the hole is used to detect the tape type.

o When recording, you can hear Sound Mode effects through the speakers or headphones. However, the sound is recorded without Sound Mode effects.

o Type I and Type II tapes can be used for recording.

REC

START/STOP

REC PAUSE

Note:

At the start and end of cassette tapes, there is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto. Depending on the recording source, the first part of the recording may be missing because of the leader. When recording CDs or radio broadcasts, to get the beginning of the recording on the tape, first wind on the leader before beginning recording.

CAUTION: If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static, the Unit may be too close to a TV which was on during the recording.

Either turn off the TV or increase the distance between the TV and the

System.

Standard Recording

This is the basic method for recording any source. The System also has special ways for recording CD to tape, and tape to tape, which save you time and effort, as well as give you some special effects. However, when you need to add a selection to a tape you have made, or are combining selections from several sources on one tape, use the method described below; just substitute the source you want into this procedure, such as a tape in Deck A, a CD, or the Tuner. You can also record from auxiliary source with this procedure.

Recording Any Sound Source to Tape ———————————

Follow these steps to record from any sound source onto a tape in Deck B.

Using the Unit

1. Insert a blank or erasable tape into Deck B.

2. Press the REV. MODE button if you want to record on both sides of the tape.

Press the button until the “ ” or “ ” indicator is lit.

• When using Reverse Mode, insert the tape so that it will be recorded in the forwards

3 direction.

3. Check the recording direction for the tape.

Check that the Tape Direction indicator is the same as that for the tape in the tape deck. If the directions are different, press the

7 button after pressing the TAPE ™ £ button to set the tape direction.

• When using Reverse Mode to record both sides of a tape, check that the Tape Direction indicator is in the forwards

3 direction. If the direction indicator is not in the forwards 3 direction, press the TAPE

™ £ button then press the 7 button.

4. Prepare the source by for example, tuning in a radio station, loading CDs, or turning on connected equipment.

5. Press the REC START/STOP button.

The “REC” indicator light comes on and the System begins recording.

Using the Remote Control

1. Insert a blank or erasable tape into Deck B.

2. Press the REV. MODE button on the Unit if you want to record on both sides of the tape.

Press the button until the “ ” or “ ” indicator is lit.

• When using Reverse Mode, insert the tape so that it will be recorded in the forwards

Notes for using Reverse Mode for recording

When recording in Reverse Mode, the System automatically stops when it reaches the end of the reverse

2 direction. To record on both sides of a tape, make sure that the recording direction for the tape inserted into Deck B is forwards

3, and that the Tape Direction indicator is also forwards 3, before you start recording.

Care And Maintenance

Compact Discs

Handle your compact discs, cassette tapes, and

Cassette Deck carefully, and they will last a long time.

• Remove the CD from the case by holding it at the edges while pressing the centre hole lightly.

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

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

• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the

CD when placing it back in the case.

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

• A dirty CD may not play correctly. If a CD does become dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in a straight line from centre to edge.

CAUTION: Do not use any solvent (for example, conventional record cleaner, spray thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean a CD.

Moisture Condensation

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

• After starting the 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.

General Notes

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

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

• Keep the Cassette Deck’s tape doors and the CD trays closed when not in use.

Cassette Tapes

• If the tape is loose in its cassette, take up the slack by inserting a pencil in one of the reels and rotating.

• If the tape is loose, it may get stretched, cut, or caught in the cassette.

• Do not touch the tape surface.

• Do not store the tape:

In dusty places

In direct sunlight or heat

In moist areas

On a TV or speaker

Near a magnet

Cassette Deck

• If the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers of the Cassette Deck become dirty, the following will occur:

Loss of sound quality

Discontinuous sound

Fading

Incomplete erasure

Difficulty recording

• Clean the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers using a cotton swab moistened with alcohol.

Pinch-rollers

Capstans

Heads

• If the heads become magnetized, the Unit will produce noise or lose high frequencies.

• To demagnetize the heads, turn off the Unit, and use a head demagnetizer (available at electronics and record shops).
