Once the Playback Timer has been set, the indicator and timer number (1, 2, or 3) indicator are lit on the display. Playback Timer is activated at the same time everyday until the timer is turned off manually.

• Playback Timer starts working only when the System is turned off (on standby).

When the start time comes

The System turns on, tunes in to the specified station or starts playing the specified source, and sets the volume level gradually to the preset level after about 30 seconds.

When the end time comes

The System stops playback, and turns off (standby).

• The timer setting remains in memory until you change it.

4 Select the source to play.

• When you want to listen to the radio broadcast (FM or AM):

Select the preset number of the desired station.

• You can also use the number buttons to select the preset number.

• When you want to play back a disc, built-in memory or USB device:

Select the group number, then the track number of the desired track.

1 Prepare the playback source.

• When you want to play back the radio broadcast (FM or AM):

Preset the desired station. (See “To preset the stations” on page 7.)

Additional Information

Learning More about This System

Getting Started

(see pages 3 to 5)

Connections:

• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals, connecting cords or the power cord. Also, keep the antennas away from metallic parts of the System, connecting cords, and the AC power cord. This could cause poor reception.

• Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of the System.

• If the power cord has been unplugged for more than 1 day, the System turns on automatically when you connect the cord again.

Daily Operations—Playback


Listening to the Radio:

• If you store a new station into an occupied preset number, the station previously stored in that number will be erased.

Playing Back a Disc/Track:

• When you change the source to “CD” or “USB,” it may take a while to activate the source.

• This System can recognize up to 4 000 tracks in a disc/USB device/built-in memory. Also, the System can recognize up to 150 tracks (for a disc) or 999 tracks (for a USB device/ built-in memory) per group and up to 99 groups in a disc/

USB device/built-in memory.

– If there are any unplayable tracks in a group, those tracks are also counted in the total track number.

• For playback of files in the USB device...

– When connecting a USB device, refer also to its manual.

– Connect one USB device to the System at a time. Do not use a USB hub.

– You can charge the USB device through the (USB

Memory) jack of this System.

– While playing back/recording/editing tracks or groups in a USB device, do not disconnect the device. It may cause malfunction on both the System and the device.

– JVC bears no responsibility for any loss of data in the

USB device while using this System.

– This System is compatible with USB 2.0 Full Speed.

– You can play back MP3/WMA/WAV files in a USB device (maximum data transfer rate: 2 Mbps):

– You cannot play back a file larger than 2 GB.

– This System cannot recognize a USB device whose rating is other than 5 V and does not exceed 500 mA.

– This System may not play back some USB devices.

– This System may not play back some files even though their formats are listed above.

– It will take some time to start up a USB device larger than

1 GB.

• For MP3/WMA/WAV playback...

– MP3/WMA/WAV discs require a longer readout time than regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/file configuration.)

– Some MP3/WMA/WAV files cannot be played back and will be skipped. This results from their recording processes and conditions.

– This System can play only a disc of ISO 9660 Level 1 or

Level 2.

– This System can play back MP3/WMA/WAV files with the extension code <.mp3>, <.wma>, or <.wav>

(regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).

– It is recommended to make each MP3/WMA file at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at a bit rate of 128 kbps.

– It is recommended to make each WAV file at a sampling rate of 44.1kHz and quantization bit rate of 16 bit.

Playing Back an other equipment:

• When QP Link fails due to a weak sound signal from the

AUX jack, Auto Standby may turn the System off even if you can hear the sound from the speakers.

In such cases, adjust the volume level of the component louder so that the System can detect the sound signal properly.

• Changing from AUX to another source while QP Link is working deactivates QP Link temporarily.

In this case, the following reactivate QP Link:

– Pressing QP LINK on the remote control twice.

– Unplug the component from the AUX jack, then plug it in again.

• If you press (Standby/on) to turn the System off or if preset Timer turns the System off while QP Link is working, the System deactivates QP Link temporarily.

In such cases, the followings reactivate QP Link:

– When the sound signal from the AUX jack stops or is too weak for about 30 seconds after the System is turned off.

– When you turn on the power again.

• QP Link may start working when you just plug in the component to the AUX jack or unplug it. This is not malfunction.

• In the following cases QP Link does not work:

– While recording.

– While recording using Recording Timer.

– While the System is turned off and display brightness is changed to “DIMMER OFF” (see page 13).
