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 9 to 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 (41˚F) and 35˚C (95˚F).

• 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 CDs

This unit has been designed to playback the following CDs:

Audio CD, CD-R, and CD-RW.

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

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

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

(Rewritable) can be played back only if they are already

“finalized.”

• You can play back your original CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded in music CD format. (However, they may not be played back depending on their characteristics or recording conditions.)

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

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back 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 caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.)

About the disc indicators

Each disc indicator corresponds to the disc tray of the same number.

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 control, the SOUND MODE control and the SUBWOOFER LEVEL control. 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. However, the sound is recorded without these effects (see page 11).

• If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static, the unit may be too close to a TV. Place the unit away from the TV.

• You can use type I tape for recording.

To protect your recording

Cassettes have two small tabs on the back to protect unexpected erasure or rerecording.

To protect your recording, remove these tabs.

Timer Priority

Since each timer can be set separately, you may wonder what happens if the setting for these timers overlaps.

Here are examples.

• Recording Timer has priority over Daily Timer.

If Daily Timer is set to come on while Recording Timer is operating, Daily Timer will not come on at all.

• If Sleep Timer overlaps with another timer (either Daily

Timer or Recording Timer), a timer with the earlier shut-off time has priority.

AM 6:00 6:30 7:00 7:30

Recording Timer canceled.

When using the Recording Timer and Sleep Timer at the same time, pay special attention to the shut-off time.

Maintenance

To get the best performance of the unit, keep your discs, tapes, and mechanism clean.

Handling discs Handling cassette tapes

• 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.

• 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.

• Be careful not to touch the tape surface.

To clean the disc

Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.

• Avoid the following places to store the tape:

— In dusty places

— In direct sunlight or heat

— In moist areas

— Near a magnet

DO NOT use any solvent — such as conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner, or benzine — to clean the disc.
