SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.

✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮

Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.

Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.

Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.

Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.

✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮

DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.

DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.

DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode.

Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this.

Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.

DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.

DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing.

DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.

Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

• When not in use

When not using the unit for an extended period of time, disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet.

• AC power cord

– Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

– When unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet, always grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.

– Do not modify the power cord in any manner. Do not bend it sharply or twist it.

– Consult your dealer when damage, disconnection or contact failure is found with the power cord.

– In case of lightning, unplug the AC power cord.

• Do not disassemble the unit.

• Foreign objects and liquid

– Do not insert any metallic objects into the unit.

– If water or some liquid gets inside the unit, unplug the power cord from the outlet and consult your dealer.

• Avoid installing the unit in the following places:

– Where the temperature may become excessively high or low; the recommended temperature range is between 5°C and 35°C.

– Where subject to vibrations.

– Where it is excessively humid, such as in a bathroom.

– In a badly ventilated place.

– Near strong magnetic fields.

• Do not use the unit in direct sunlight or leave it in a closed automobile, etc.

The unit might be exposed to high temperatures above

40°C.

• Ventilation

Do not block the ventilation holes of the unit; otherwise heat cannot escape from the unit.

• CD pickup lens

Do not leave the disc compartment cover open; otherwise the CD pickup lens might be contaminated with dust. Do not touch the lens with fingers.

• Condensation

Moisture may form on the CD pickup lens when:

– A heater has just been switched on in the room where the unit is used.

– The unit is in a place with smoke or high humidity.

– The unit has just moved from a cold place to a warm room.

If the unit has condensation inside, it may not function correctly. Should this occur, turn on the unit and wait one or two hours before use.

• Do not place magnetic objects near the speakers.

Since the speakers contain magnets inside, do not place cassette tapes or magnetic cards nearby as recorded data could be erased.

• Keep the unit away from a TV.

Do not place the unit near a TV or avoid using the unit when the TV is turned on; otherwise the TV picture could be distorted.

• Carrying handle

– Do not raise or lower the carrying handle with the telescopic antenna extended, to avoid damage to the antenna.

– Position the carrying handle so that it does not interfere with operation.

POWER SUPPLY

Operation on household AC

1 Connect the supplied AC power cord to the

AC IN

Ó jack on the rear panel of the unit.

2 Plug the AC power cord into an AC power outlet.

Cautions

• Use only the JVC power cord provided with this unit to avoid malfunction or damage to the unit.

• Even when you turn off the unit by pressing the

STANDBY/ON button, a very small current continues to flow. To save power and for safety when not using the unit for an extended period of time, disconnect the power cord from the household AC outlet.

Operation on batteries

Installing batteries

1 Open the battery compartment cover by pressing down the two tabs.

2

Install eight R20P (SUM-1)/D (13F) batteries.

Insert the batteries with

ª and · positioned correctly referring to the drawing above the battery compartment.

3 Replace the cover.

Battery replacement

When the tape speed or output sound level decreases, or

CD playback becomes intermittent, replace all batteries with fresh ones.

For better battery usage

• When making an important recording, use of new batteries (preferably alkaline batteries with a longer service life) is recommended to avoid any possible failure.

• To prevent the power from being accidentally turned on, remove the batteries when carrying the unit by hand or in the trunk of a car, thus avoiding wasteful battery consumption.

• Continuous operation of the unit causes the battery power to be consumed quicker than non-continuous operation.

• Operation of the unit in a cold place causes the battery power to be consumed more quickly than in a warm place.

Cautions

If batteries are used incorrectly, it may result in electrolyte leakage or they may explode.

• Make sure that the batteries are installed with the positive

ª and negative · terminals positioned correctly.

• Do not mix new and old batteries together, or mix different types of batteries.

• Do not try to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.

• Remove the batteries when the unit is not to be used for an extended period of time.

• Remove the batteries when operating the unit on the household AC; though the power supply is automatically switched from the batteries to the household AC when the AC power cord is connected.

• If chemicals leaking from batteries come in contact with your skin, wash them off immediately with water. If chemicals leak on the surface of the unit, clean the unit completely.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the cabinet

Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Never use benzene or thinner as these could damage the surface finish.

Cleaning the heads, capstan and pinch roller

When the tape is running, magnetic powder and dust naturally accumulate on the heads, capstan and pinch roller.

When they become too dirty:

• Sound quality deteriorates.

• The sound output level drops.

• The previous recording is not completely erased.

• Recording is not performed correctly.

To avoid these, clean the heads, capstan and pinch roller every 10 hours of use.

For effective cleaning, use a cleaning kit available at audio stores. Make sure that the cleaning fluid has dried completely before loading a cassette.

Cleaning the CD pickup lens

If the CD pickup lens is dirty, clean the lens to prevent sound deterioration.

Gently wipe off fingerprints, etc. on the lens using a cotton swab.

To blow off dust on the lens, use a blower available at camera shops, etc., as shown below.

Blower

Heads

Capstan

Pinch roller

Note

Do not use thinner or benzene, as these will damage the rubber pinch roller (use of alcohol is permitted).

Demagnetizing the recording/playback head

If the head becomes magnetized, noise will increase and the sound will deteriorate.

Demagnetize the recording/playback head every 20 to

30 hours of use with a head demagnetizer available at audio stores. When demagnetizing the head, turn off the unit to the standby mode by pressing the STANDBY/

ON button.

Caution

As the erasure head of the unit is of magnetic type, do not demagnetize it.
