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. Here you will find all the information you need to set up and use the system. For questions that are not be answered in the manual, please contact your dealer.

Features

English

Easy operation

Great sound

Triple Tray

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

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.

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.

The System is compatible with RDS (Radio Data System) broadcasting.

• The EON data enables you to standby for desired information.

• The PTY Search function searches for programmes in the category you wish.

In addition, Radio Text can be displayed using data sent by station. 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.

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

• 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 Unit and a TV.

• Do not use the Unit in a place subject to vibrations.

2. Power cord

• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!

• Some power (12 watts) is always consumed as long as the power cord is connected to the wall

outlet.

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

3. Malfunctions, etc.

• There are no user serviceable parts inside. If anything goes wrong, unplug the power cord and

consult your dealer.

• Do not insert any metallic object into the Unit.

For CA-D551TR———————————————————————

For each speaker, connect one end of the speaker wire to the speaker terminals on the back of the System and the other end to the speaker.

1. Open each of the terminals and insert the speaker wires firmly (be sure to remove the insulation at the end of each wire first), then close the terminals.

2. Connect the red (+) and black (–) terminals of the right side speaker to the red (+) and black (–) terminals marked RIGHT on the System. Connect the red (+) and black (–) terminals of the left side speaker to the red (+) and black (–) terminals marked LEFT on the System.

COMPU PLAY

COMPU PLAY is JVC’s feature that lets you control the most frequently used functions of the System with a single touch. One Touch Operation starts playing a CD, turns on the radio, plays a tape, etc. with a single press of the play button for that function. What One Touch Operation does for you is to turn the power on, then start the function you have specified. If the Unit is not ready, such as no CD or tape in place, the Unit still powers on so you can insert a CD or tape. How One Touch Operation works in each case is explained in the section dealing with that function. The COMPU PLAY buttons are:

Turning the Power On and Off

Turning the System On ——————————————————

Press the button.

The display comes on and the STANDBY indicator goes out. The System comes on ready to continue in the mode it was in when the power was last turned off. o If the last thing you were doing was listening to a tape in Deck B, you are now ready to listen to a tape

again in Deck B, or you can change to another source.

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

Turning the System Off ——————————————————

Press the button again.

The STANDBY indicator lights up and the display is blank, except for the clock display. o Some power (12 watts) is always consumed even though power is turned off (called Standby Mode). o To switch off the Unit completely, unplug the AC power cord from the AC outlet. When you unplug

the AC power cord, the clock will be reset to 0:00 immediately, and preset Tuner stations will be erased after a few days.

Turn the VOLUME control clockwise to increase the volume or anticlockwise to decrease it. Turning the VOLUME control quickly also adjusts the volume level quickly. When using the Remote Control, 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: The Volume cannot be adjusted while the Unit is in STANDBY mode. DO NOT turn on the Unit and/or start playing any source without setting the VOLUME control to 0; otherwise, the sudden blast of sound can 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.

Reinforcing the Bass Sound

The richness and fullness of the bass sound is maintained regardless of how low you set the volume. You can use this effect only for playback.

Sound Modes

The System has some preset sound effects that give you control of the way your music sounds, so you can tailor it for your room and for the quality of the source. We can give you some idea of how each one affects the music, but the only way to really tell is to try them yourself. o The preset sound modes include modes using surround effects and modes using S.E.A. effects. o Sound Mode effects cannot be recorded.

Surround effect modes

D. CLUB (Dance Club) Increases resonance and bass. HALL Adds depth and brilliance to the sound, like in a concert hall. STADIUM Adds clarity and spreads the sound, like in an outdoor stadium.

S.E.A. effect modes

ROCK Boosts low and high frequencies. CLASSIC Set for wide and dynamic sound stereo systems. POP Good for vocal music.

To get an effect, press the SOUND MODE button repeatedly until the Sound Mode you want appears

in the display. The frame around the “S.MODE” indicator lights up. Each time you press the SOUND MODE button, the display changes as shown below:
