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 “Basic Settings” and “Common Operations” on pages 10, 11, and 12.

•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 unit.

Gives you information and hints you had better know.

Precautions

Installation

•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.

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.

Here are basic and common things that apply to all the functions of the unit.

Turning On the Power and Selecting the

Sources

When you press the play button for a particular source, the unit automatically turns on (and starts playing the source).

To select the external equipment as the source, press TAPE or AUX so that the unit automatically turns on.

To turn on the unit without playing, press so that the STANDBY/ON lamp lights orange.

To turn off the unit (on standby), press again so that the STANDBY/ON lamp lights red.

A little power is always consumed even while the unit is in standby mode.

To switch off the power supply completely, unplug the AC power cord from the AC outlet.

The STANDBY/ON lamp goes off.

When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power

failure occurs

The clock is reset to 0:00 right away, while the tuner preset stations will be erased in a few days.

Adjusting the Volume

You can adjust the volume level only while the unit is turned on.

Turn VOLUME clockwise to increase the volume or counterclockwise to decrease it.

When using the remote control, press VOLUME + to increase the volume or press VOLUME – to decrease it.

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 headphones.

PHONES jack

DO NOT turn off (on standby) the unit with the volume set to an extremely high level; otherwise, the sudden blast of sound can damage your hearing, speakers and/or headphones when you turn on the unit or start playing any source.

REMEMBER you cannot adjust the volume level while the unit is in standby mode.

To turn down the volume level temporarily

Press FADE MUTING on the remote control. To restore the sound, press the button again.
