Introduction

We would like to thank you for purchasing one of our JVC products.

Before operating this micro component system, read this manual carefully

and thoroughly to obtain the best possible performance from your system,

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 units. You can also use the buttons
on the remote control if they have the same or similar
names (or marks) as those on the units.
If operation using the remote control is different from
that using each 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 system, setting the
volume, changing the sound effects, and others, which
are explained in the section “Basic Settings” and
“Common Operations” on pages 10 to 13.

• The following marks are used in this manual:

Gives you warnings and cautions to
prevent from a damage or risk of fire/
electric shock.
Also gives you information which is not
good for obtaining the best possible
performance from the units.

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 units in the
following cases:

• After starting heating in the room

• In a damp room

• If the units are brought directly from a cold to a warm
place

Should this occur, the system may malfunction. In this case,
leave the units 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 a unit, unplug
the units and consult your dealer before operating any
further.

• If you are not going to operate the units for an extended
period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall
outlet.

DO NOT disassemble the units since there are
no user serviceable parts inside.

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 units in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent internal heat buildup in the units.

• Leave sufficient distance between the units and the TV.

• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference
with TV.

DO NOT install the units in a location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust or vibration.

1

If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and
consult your dealer.

Turn the AM loop antenna until you have the best
reception.

To connect an external AM antenna

When reception is poor, connect a single vinyl-covered
wire to the AM EXT terminal and extend it horizontally.
(The AM loop antenna must remain connected.)

For better reception of both FM and AM

• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch
any other terminals and connecting cables.

• Keep the antennas away from metallic parts of
the units, connecting cables, and the AC power
cord.

Right speaker

1

Open the speaker terminal.

2

Insert the end of the speaker cord to the terminal.

Left speaker

Match the polarity of the speaker terminals: Red (+)
to red (+) and black (–) to black (–).

3

Close the speaker terminal on the rear of the unit.

When connecting speaker cords

• Make sure to connect the cords correctly following
the right series of above steps.
During operation, wrong connection or a short
circuit make the power turned off to protect the
system.
The clock loses the setting and is reset to “0:00”.
Also the MD recording may fail.

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

Connecting Other Equipments

You can connect the following equipments to the system:

• Audio equipment — used only as an analog playback
device.

• Audio equipment with an optical digital input terminal
— used as a digital recording device.

When you connect and use these equipments, refer also to
the manuals supplied with them.

To connect audio equipment without a digital
output terminal

Connect the audio output jacks on the other equipment and
the ANALOG IN jacks, using an audio cable (not supplied).

Be sure that the plugs of the audio cables and the jacks on
the rear panel of the unit are color coded: White plugs and
jacks are for left audio signals, and red ones for right audio
signals.

• DO NOT connect other equipment while the
power is on.

• DO NOT plug in any equipment until all
connections are complete.

To connect audio equipment with an optical digital
input terminal

By using both an optical digital cable (not supplied) and an
audio cable (not supplied), connect:

• Between the optical digital input terminal on the other
equipment and the optical digital output terminal on XT ­UXG6R.

• Between the audio output jacks on the other equipment
and the ANALOG IN jacks.
