Introduction

English

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.

 

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

 

If you have a query that is not answered by the manual, please contact your dealer.

Features

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

The controls and operations have been redesigned to make them very easy to use, freeing you to just enjoy the music.

With JVC’s COMPU PLAY you can turn on the System and automatically start the Radio or CD Player with a single touch.

The System incorporates Active Hyper Bass PRO circuitry to faithfully reproduce low frequency sounds.

A 45-station preset capability (30 FM and 15 AM ) in addition to auto-seek and manual tuning.

CD options that include repeat, random and program play.

Timer functions; Daily Timer and Sleep Timer.

You can connect various external units, such as an MD recorder.

How This Manual Is Organized

Basic information that is the same for many different functions - e.g. setting the volume - is given in the section ‘Basic Operations’, and not repeated under each function.

The names of buttons/controls and display messages are written in all capital letters: e.g. FM/AM, “NO DISC”.

System functions are written with an initial capital letter only: e.g. Normal Play.

Use the table of contents to look up specific information you require.

We have enjoyed making this manual for you, and hope it serves you in enjoying the many features built into your System.

WARNINGS

DO NOT PUT ANYTHING ON THE TOP COVER. IF THE SYSTEM IS OPERATED WITH SOMETHING PUT ON THE TOP COVER, IT WILL BE DAMAGED WHEN YOU TRY TO OPEN THE TOP COVER.

NEVER REMOVE THE TOP COVER FROM THE UNIT. SERIOUS INJURY MAY OCCUR IF THE SYSTEM IS OPERATED WITHOUT THE TOP COVER.

IMPORTANT CAUTIONS

1Installation of the System

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 System and a TV.

Do not use the System in a place subject to vibrations.

2Power cord

Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!

Some power is always consumed as long as the power cord is connected to the wall outlet.

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

3Malfunctions, etc.

There are no user serviceable parts inside. In case of system failure, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer.

Do not insert any metallic object into the System.

AC IN

 

Power cord

CAUTIONS:

ONLY USE THE JVC POWER CORD PROVIDED WITH THIS SYSTEM TO AVOID MALFUNCTION OR DAMAGE TO THE SYSTEM.

BE SURE TO UNPLUG THE POWER CORD FROM THE OUTLET WHEN GOING OUT OR WHEN THE SYSTEM IS NOT IN USE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.

Now you can plug the AC power cord into the wall outlet, and your System is at your command!

COMPU Play

JVC’s COMPU PLAY feature lets you control the most frequently used System functions with a single touch.

With One Touch Operation you can play a CD, turn on the radio, or listen to an external equipment with a single press of the play button for that function. One Touch Operation turns the power on for you, then starts the function you have specified. At the same time, the Top Cover moves backward to allow the Unit’s top button operation. If the System is not ready (no CD in place), the System still powers on so you can insert a CD.

How One Touch Operation works in each case is explained in the section dealing with that function. The COMPU PLAY buttons are:

On the Remote Control

CD #/8 button

FM/AM button

MD/AUX button

Automatic Power On

The System automatically turns on with the following operation.

When you press the CD 0button on the Remote Control or the OPEN/CLOSE button on the Unit, the System automatically

turns on and the Top Cover opens to allow CD setting. However, this operation does not change the function to CD. When you press the %button to turn off the System, the Top Cover will be automatically closed if it is opened.

When you press the DOOR SLIDE button on the Remote Control, the System automatically turns on and the Top Cover

moves backwards to allow button operation.

When you press the %button to turn off the System, the Top Cover will automatically moves back to the original position, if it is in the backward position.

Turning the Power On and Off

Turning the System On

Press the %button.

The Top Cover moves backward and the Unit’s top buttons appear. The display comes on and “HELLO” is displayed once. The STANDBY/ON indicator lights in green.

The System comes on ready to continue in the mode it was in when the power was last turned off.

For example, if the last thing you were doing was listening to a CD, you are now ready to listen to a CD again. If you wish, you can change to another source.

If you were listening to the Tuner last, the Tuner comes on playing the station it was last set to.

When the System is Turned Off (STANDBY MODE)

Each time you press the DIMMER button on the Remote Control, the brightness of the backlighting changes as follows:

No backlighting = Dark backlighting

=(back to the beginning)

When the System is turned off again after power on, the brightness in Standby mode will be restored to the previous one since the brightness setting in Standby mode is stored in memory.

Turning the System Off

Press the %button again.

The Top Cover moves back to the original position.

“GOOD BYE” is displayed and the display goes out, except for the clock display. The STANDBY/ON indicator lights in red.

Some power is always consumed even though power is turned off (called Standby Mode).

To switch off the System completely, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet. When you unplug the AC power cord, the clock will be reset to 0:00 after about 20 minutes.

Adjusting the Brightness (DIMMER)

You can adjust the brightness of the backlighting for the display.

When the System is Turned On

Each time you press the DIMMER button on the Remote Control, the brightness of the backlighting changes as follows:

Bright = Dark = (back to the beginning)

Adjusting the Volume

Press the VOLUME + button to increase the volume or press the VOLUME – button to decrease it.

You can adjust the volume level between 0 and 50.

CAUTION:

DO NOT turn on the System and/or start playing any source without first setting the VOLUME control to minimum, as a sudden blast of sound could damage your hearing, speakers and/or headphones.

For private listening

Connect a pair of headphones to the PHONES jack. No sound comes out of the speakers.

Be sure to turn down the volume before connecting or putting on headphones.

*When the System is in use, the display shows other items as well. For simplicity, we show here only the items described in this section.

You can listen to FM and AM stations. Stations can be tuned in manually, automatically, or from preset memory storage.

Before listening to the radio:

Make sure that both the FM and AM antennas are correctly connected. (See pages 4 and 5).

Setting the AM Tuner Interval Spacing

When shipped, the AM tuner interval is set to 9 or 10 kHz spacing (Initial setting : U/UT/US...9 kHz, UY...10 kHz). You can change it to 10 or 9 kHz spacing.

Preparation to setting:

Turn on the power and press the FM/AM button to select FM or AM mode.

To select 10 kHz intervals, while holding down the 7 button on the Unit, press the VOLUME + button on the Unit. “AM 10kHz” will appear on the display (at the same time, the 100 kHz spacing is selected for FM broadcast).

To select 9 kHz intervals, while holding down the 7but-

ton on the Unit, press the

VOLUME − button on the Unit.

“AM 9kHz” will appear on the display.
