Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a JVC product. Please read all instructions carefully before operation, to ensure your complete understanding and to obtain the best possible performance from the System.

Precautions

Installation

• Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in the System.

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

• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold—between 5°C and 35°C.

• Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.

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

Power sources

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

DO NOT handle the power cord with wet hands.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the System in the following cases:

• After starting to heat the room

• In a damp room

• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm place.

Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case, leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates, unplug the power cord, then plug it in again.

Internal heat

• Make sure there is good ventilation around the System. Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the System.

DO NOT block the ventilation openings or holes. If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.

Others

Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the System, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer before operating any further.

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

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

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

Connections (see pages 4 to 7)

• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals, connecting cords or the power cord. Also, keep the antennas away from metallic parts of the System, connecting cords, and the power cord. These could cause poor reception.

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

• The speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly, it may cause color distortions. So, pay attention to the following when installing the speakers.

– When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off

the TV’s main power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers. Then wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s main power switch again.

– Some TVs may still be affected even though

you have followed the above instructions. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV.

• You cannot connect a computer to the USB terminals of the System.

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a JVC product. Please read all instructions carefully before operation, to ensure your complete understanding and to obtain the best possible performance from the System.

Precautions

Installation

• Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in the System.

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

• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold—between 5°C and 35°C.

• Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.

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

Power sources

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

DO NOT handle the power cord with wet hands.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the System in the following cases:

• After starting to heat the room

• In a damp room

• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm place.

Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case, leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates, unplug the power cord, then plug it in again.

Internal heat

• Make sure there is good ventilation around the System. Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the System.

DO NOT block the ventilation openings or holes. If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.

Others

Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the System, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer before operating any further.

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

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

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