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

• Do not grasp the control knobs when moving or carrying the unit.

• 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 CDs

This unit has been designed to playback the following CDs:

• Audio CD

• CD-R (CD-Recordable)

• CD-RW (CD-ReWritable)

• MP3 disc (MP3 files recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW) *

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

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

(CD-ReWritable) can be played back when they are already “finalized.”

• 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.

Important notices:

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

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

- Keep the unit’s carrousel closed when not in use.

• Continuous use of irregular shaped discs (heart-shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage the disc rotating mechanism.

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.

*For MP3 discs

• This unit manages files and folders on MP3 discs as

“tracks” and “albums.”

• Playback order of the MP3 files (tracks) recorded on a disc are determined by the writing (or encoding) application; therefore, playback order may be different from the one you have intended while recording the files and the folders.

• This unit show the file name—Available characters: 0–9,

A–Z, _ (underscore)—on the display when the file (tracks) starts play; however some file names are not shown correctly.

More about MP3 discs

• MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout time. (It varies due to the complexity of the recording configuration.)

• When making an MP3 disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 as the disc format.

• This unit does not support multisession recording.

• This unit can play MP3 files only with the following file extensions— “.MP3,” “.Mp3,” “.mP3,” and “.mp3.”

• Non-MP3 files are ignored. If non-MP3 files are recorded together with MP3 files, this unit will take a longer time to scan the disc. It may also cause the unit to malfunction.

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

Playing Back CDs—All Disc and One Disc

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, the SUBWOOFER LEVEL, and the SOUND MODE controls. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.

• While recording, you can hear the SOUND TURBO effect through the speakers or headphones. However, the sound is recorded without this effect (see page 10).

• 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 re-recording.

To protect your recording, remove these tabs.

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

Using Daily Timer

With Daily Timer, you can wake to your favorite music or radio program. You can set the timer whether the unit is on or off.

How Daily Timer actually works

The unit automatically turns on, set the volume level to the preset level, and starts playing the specified source when the on-time comes (the indicator flashes while the timer is operating). Then, when the off-time comes, the unit automatically turns off (stands by).

Daily Timer works every day unless you cancel it.


• If you have made a mistake while setting timer, press

CANCEL/DEMO. (However, this does not always work. If

CANCEL/DEMO does not work, press CLOCK/TIMER repeatedly and start from step 1 again.)

Before you start...

• When using a CD as the source to play:

—Make sure there is a CD on the currently selected

disc number tray.

• When using a tape as the source to play:

—Make sure that a tape is in the deck whose deck

indicator (A or B) is lit on the display.

• When using the external component as the source to play:

—Set the timer equipped with the external component

at the same time.

Maintenance

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

Cleaning the unit

• Stains on the unit

Should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the unit is heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water-diluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.

• Avoid the following since they may cause damage to the unit.

- DO NOT wipe it strong.

- DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.

- DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as insecticides to it.

- DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact with it for a long time.

Handling 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.

• Be careful not to touch the tape surface.

• Avoid the following places to store the tape:

— In dusty places

— In direct sunlight or heat

— In moist areas

— Near a magnet

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.

To clean the disc

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