Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the JVC Micro 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. In it you will ﬁ nd all the information you need to set up and use the system. If you have a query that is not answered by the manual, please contact your dealer.

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 System in a location with adequate

ventilation to prevent internal heat buildup inside 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.

• Leave sufﬁ cient distance between the System

and the TV.

• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid

interference with TV.

Internal heat

• A cooling fan is mounted on the right side

of the unit to prevent heat buildup inside the main unit (see page G-1).

For safety, observe the following carefully:

• Make sure there is good ventilation the

main unit. Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the System.

• DO NOT block the cooling fan and the

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

Power sources

• When unplugging the System from the wall

outlet, always pull on the plug, not the AC power cord.

DO NOT handle the AC power cord with

wet hands.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lenses 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 AC power cord, then plug it in again.

Others

• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into

the System, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before operating any further.

Indicates that you press the button brieﬂ y.

Indicates that you press the button brieﬂ y and repeatedly until an option you want is selected.

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 AC power cord from the wall outlet.

If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power

cord and consult your dealer.

How to Read This Manual

To make this manual as simple and easy-tounderstand as possible, we have adapted the following methods:

• Button and control operations are explained

as listed in the table below. In this manual, the operations using the remote control is mainly explained; however, you can use the buttons and controls on the main unit if they have the same (or similar) name and marks.

• Some related tips and notes are explained

later in the sections “Learning More about This System” and “Troubleshooting,” but not in the same section explaining the operations.

If you want to know more about the functions,

or if you have a doubt about the functions, go to these sections and you will ﬁ nd the answers.

Remote ONLY

2 sec.

Indicates that you press one of the buttons.

Indicates that you press and hold the button for speciﬁ ed seconds.

• The number above indicates the

period of press (in this example, 2 seconds).

• If no number is indicated,press

and hold until the entire procedure is complete or until you get a result you want.

Indicates that this operation is only possible using the remote control.

Getting Started

Step 1: Unpack the package and check the

accessories.

Step 2: Prepare the remote control.

Step 3: Hook up the components such as

AM/FM antennas, speakers, etc. (see pages 5 to 7).

Step 1: Unpack

After unpacking, check to be sure that you have all the following items. The number in parentheses indicates the quantity of each piece supplied.

• FM antenna (1)

• AM loop antenna (1)

• Speaker cords (2)

• Remote control (1)

• Batteries (2)

• iPod connection cable (1)

• iPod stand (1) If any item is missing, consult your dealer immediately.

Step 2: Prepare the Remote Control

Insert the batteries into the remote control by matching the polarity (+ and –) correctly.

Finally plug the AC power cord. Now you can operate the System.

R6P(SUM-3) / AA (15F)

• DO NOT use an old battery together with

a new one.

• DO NOT use different types of batteries

together.

• DO NOT expose batteries to heat or

ﬂ ame.

•

DO NOT leave the batteries in the battery

compartment when you are not going to use the remote control for an extended period of time. Otherwise, the remote control will be damaged from battery leakage.

Step

Hook Up

If you need more detailed information, see page 7.

Illustrations of the input/output terminals below are typical examples. When you connect other components, refer also to their manuals since the terminal names actually printed on the rear may vary.

Turn the power off to all components before connections.

For better FM/AM reception

Outdoor FM antenna (not supplied)

Vynil-covered wire (not supplied)

Extend it horizontally.

AM loop antenna

Keep it connected.

Disconnect the supplied FM antenna, and connect to an outdoor FM antenna using a 75 Ω wire with coaxial type connector.

To a wall outlet Plug the AC power cord only after all connections are complete.

FM antenna (supplied)

Extend it so that you can obtain the best reception.

Speaker cord (supplied)

Connect the black cord to the black (−) terminal.

AM loop antenna (supplied)

Turn it until the best reception is obtained.

Speaker cord (supplied)

Connect the white cord to the red (+) terminal.

To assemble and connect the AM loop antenna

To assemble the AM loop antenna

To connect the AM loop antenna

Make sure to connect the wire correctly.

• If the AM loop antenna wire or speaker cords

are covered with vinyl, remove the vinyl to expose the tip of the antenna by twisting the vinyl.

• Make sure the antenna conductors do not

touch any other terminals, connecting cords and power cord. Also, keep the antennas away from metallic parts of the System, connecting cords, and the AC power cord. This could cause poor reception.

To connect the speaker cords

Make sure the both speakers are connected correctly and ﬁ rmly.

When connecting the speaker cords, match the polarity of the speaker terminals. Red (+) terminal : white cord of the speaker

cord

Black (–) terminal : black cord of the speaker

cord

• DO NOT connect more than one speaker

to each terminal.

• DO NOT allow the conductor of the

speaker cords to be in touch with the metallic parts of the System.

Before Operating the System

The indications on the display teach you a lot of things while you are operating the System. Before operating the System, be familiar with when and how the indicator illuminates on the display.
