Features

English

Easy operation

Great sound

Triple T ray

Sing Along

Here are some of the things that make your System powerful and easy to use.
o The controls and operations have been redesigned to make them very easy to use, so you can spend

your time listening to music.

• With the One Touch Operation feature of JVC’s COMPU PLAY you can turn on the System and

start the radio, the Cassette Deck, or the CD Player with a single touch.

o To get such great sound from such a compact package the System has:

• Programmed sound mode includes live surround effects D. CLUB, HALL, and STADIUM. It
also includes S.E.A (Sound Effect Amplifier) effects ROCK, CLASSIC, and POP.

o CD changer function can operate 3 discs.

• Discs can be changed during play using the TRIPLE TRA Y.

• Continuous, random or program play of 3 discs.

Includes a timer for recording broadcasts while you are out, and an easy-to-use Sleep timer.
You can use conventional tapes and CDs for Karaoke with the voice masking system. With an
optional microphone, you can replace the lead singer’s voice on your favorite songs with your own.

• Digital Echo applied to your voice through the microphone gives you a professional sound.

How This Manual Is Organized

In this manual we have incorporated some special features:

• Basic information that is the same for many different functions is grouped in one place, and not
repeated in each procedure. For instance, in the section on playing a CD, we do not repeat the
information about setting the volume and the sound conditions, which are discussed in the Common
Operations section.

• Name of buttons and controls are written in all capital letters like this: SOUND MODE.

• When we are talking about the Function, rather than the BUTTON or DISPLAY, only the first letter is
capitalized.

The manual has a table of contents to help you quickly look up what you want to know.
We’ve enjoyed making this manual for you, and hope you will use it to enjoy the sound and many
features built into your System.

IMPORTANT CAUTIONS

1. Installation of the Unit

Press the 4 P.DOWN or ¢ P.UP button (or the 1 or ¡ button on
the Remote Control) during play.

o Make sure that you press the 4 P.DOWN or ¢ P.UP button (or the 1 or ¡ button on the

Remote Control) in the same direction as that in which the tape is playing. Searching stops at the
beginning of the next selection, and the next selection starts automatically.

Music Scan works by detecting a 4-second long blank at the beginning of each selection,
so it won’t work well if your tape has:

• No blank at the beginning of a selection .

• Noise (often caused by much use or poor quality dubbing) which fills the blank with noise.

• Long, very soft passages or pauses in a selection. The scan will detect these as 4-second long

blanks. If this happens, just scan again until you reach the selection you want.

When the System is being used, the display shows other items as well.
However, we have only shown the items described in this section.

Recording onto a cassette from any of the sound sources is simple. Just place a tape in Deck B, have the
source ready, make one or two settings, and you’re ready to record. For each source the procedure is a
little bit different and now we’ll explain just what to do for each one. If you forget, just come back to the
section which has the specific procedures you need. But first, here are a few things to make your record­ings better.

Things To Know Before You Start Recording ———————

o It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of

the copyright owner.

o When you want to record onto both sides of a tape, you can set Reverse mode on to do so. However,

recording automatically stops after recording in the 2 direction in Reverse mode. Therefore, make
sure that the tape direction is 3 when recording with Reverse mode on.

o The recording level, which is the volume at which the new tape is being made, is automatically set

correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME control on the System. Thus, during recording you can
adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.

o Two small tabs on the back of the cassette tape, one for side A and one for side B, can be removed to

prevent accidental erasure or re-recording. To record on a cassette with the tabs removed, you must
cover the holes with adhesive tape first.
However, when a type II tape is used, only cover part of the hole as shown, since the other part of the
hole is used to detect the tape type.

o When recording, you can hear Sound Mode effects through the speakers or headphones. However, the

sound is recorded without Sound Mode effects.

o Type I and Type II tapes can be used for recording.

Note: At the start and end of cassette tapes, there is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto. Depend-

START/STOP

REC

ing on the recording source, the first part of the recording may be missing because of the leader. When
recording CDs or radio broadcasts, to get the beginning of the recording on the tape, first wind on the
leader before beginning recording.

CAUTION: If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static,
the Unit may be too close to a TV which was on during the recording.
Either turn off the TV or increase the distance between the TV and the
System.

Standard Recording

This is the basic method for recording any source. The System also has special ways for recording CD to
tape, and tape to tape, which save you time and effort, as well as give you some special effects. However,
when you need to add a selection to a tape you have made, or are combining selections from several
sources on one tape, use the method described below; just substitute the source you want into this
procedure, such as a tape in Deck A, a CD, or the Tuner. You can also record from auxiliary source with
this procedure.

To Record Any Sound Source To Tape ——————————

Follow these steps to record from any sound source onto a tape in Deck B.

Using the Unit

1. Insert a blank or erasable tape into Deck B.

English

REC PAUSE

2. Press the REVERSE MODE button if you want to record on both
sides of the tape.

Press the button until the “ ” or “ ” indicator is lit.

• When using Reverse Mode, insert the tape so that it will be recorded in the forwards 3 direction.

3. Check the recording direction for the tape.

Check that the Tape Direction indicator is the same as that for the tape in the tape deck. If the
directions are different, press the 7 button after pressing the ¤ TAPE ‹ button to set the tape
direction.

• When using Reverse Mode to record both sides of a tape, check that the Tape Direction indicator

is in the forwards 3 direction. If the direction indicator is not in the forwards 3 direction, press
the ¤ TAPE ‹ button then press the 7 button.

4. Prepare the source, by, for example, tuning in a radio station,
loading CDs, or turning on connected equipment.

5. Press the REC START/STOP button.

The “REC” indicator light comes on and the System begins recording.

Using the Remote Control

1. Insert a blank or erasable tape into Deck B.

2. Press the REC PAUSE button.

The “REC” indicator blinks.

3. Press the REVERSE MODE button on the Unit if you want to record
on both sides of the tape.

Press the button until the “ ” or “ ” indicator is lit.

• When using Reverse Mode, insert the tape so that it will be recorded in the forwards 3 direction.

4. Prepare the source by, for example, tuning in a radio station, load­ing CDs, or turning on connected equipment.

5. Press the ™ or £ button.

Recording starts in the direction of the button pressed.

• When using Reverse Mode to record both sides of a tape, press the £ button.

Notes for using Reverse Mode for recording

When recording in Reverse Mode, the System automatically stops when it reaches the end of the reverse
2 direction. To record on both sides of a tape, make sure that the recording direction for the tape inserted
into Deck B is forwards 3, and that the Tape Direction indicator is also forwards 3, before you start
recording.

To stop at any time during the recording process, p ress the 7 button.

Note: When making SLEEP timer settings while doing CD Direct recording, set the time so that there is

enough leeway to finish the recording before the power goes off. If the time is set to about the length of
the CD, the power may go off before recording finishes.

For CD Direct Recording using more than one disc, use a blank tape, If you use a prerecorded tape,
prerecorded material may not be erased between newly-recorded tracks.

Tape to Tape Recording (Dubbing)

Recording from one tape to another is called dubbing.
You can dub tapes simply, with just a single button.
o When dubbing tapes, make sure that the playback direction of Deck A and Deck B are the same.
o When you want to record both sides of a tape, press the REVERSE MODE button to turn Reverse

mode on.

o It is preferable that the type of tape (Type I or Type II) you record from be the same as the type you
