INTRODUCTIONS
We would like to thank you for purchasing one of our JVC products.
Before operating this System,
read this manual carefully and
thoroughly to obtain the best possible performance from your System,
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 System. You can also use the buttons
on the remote control if they have the same or similar
names (or marks) as those on the System.
If operation using the remote control is different from that of
using the System, 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 infor
mation about turning on/off the System, setting the volume,
changing the sound effects, and others, which are ex
plained in the section “Common Operations” on page 10.
• The following marks are used in this manual:
CAUTION:
Gives you warnings and cautions to prevent from a damage
or risk of fire or electric shock.
Also gives you information which is not good for obtaining
the best possible performance from the System.
Notes:
Gives you information and hints you had better know.
Power sources
• When unplugging from the wall outlet, always pull the plug,
not the AC power cord.
|— CAUTION------------------------------------------------------
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet hands.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the System in the
following cases:
• After starting the heating in 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, and then plug it in
again.
Others
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the System,
unplug the System and consult your dealer before operat
ing any further.
• If you are not going to operate the System for an extended
period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall
outlet.
Precautions
Installation
• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot or too
cold — between 5°C (41 °F) and 35°C (95°F).
• Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent internal heat built-up in the System.
• Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.
• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference
with TV.
- CAUTION
DO NOT install the System in a location near heat sources,
or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or
vibration.
---------------------------------------------------------------
____________________
r- CAUTION----------------------------------------------------------------
DO NOT disassemble the System since there are no user
serviceable parts inside.
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult
your dealer.

Page 2
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Connecting other equipment
You can connect the following equipment to this System:
• TV with a video input jack — used as a monitor of VCR
playback or video CD playback.
• VCR — used as a sound playback and sound recording
device.
• Audio/video equipment such as a video disc player—used
only as a playback device.
• Audio equipment with an optical digital input terminal —
used only as a digital recording device like MD/DCC player.
— Caution---------------------------------------------------------------
DO NOT connect other equipment while power is on.
DO NOT plug in the AC power cord/until all connections are
complete.
To connect a TV
______
To connect audio/video equipment such as a video disc
player
Video disc player
Connect the audio output jacks on the other equipment and the
AUX jacks, using an audio cord (not supplied).
To connect a VCR
Connect the video input jack on the TV and the VIDEO OUT
jack, using the supplied video cord.
To view a video CD, you need to connect an NTSC-compatible
TV.
By using audio cords (not supplied), connect:
• Between the audio input jacks on the VCR and the MD/
DCC OUT (REC) jacks,
• Between the audio output jacks on the VCR and the MD/
DCC IN (PLAY) jacks.
Page 3
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
To connect MD, DCC and DAT
You can connect the audio output terminals to the MD DCC IN
(PLAY) jacks, and the audio input terminals to MD DCC OUT
(REC) jacks.
Make sure to connect the wires correctly: Red to red and white
to white.
Notes
When recording onto the MD through this terminai
• You can record only audio signals of conventional CDs and
CD-Gs through this terminal.
• It is not recommended to use the automatic marking
function of the MD player since the marking signal cannot
be recorded correctly between recorded tracks. It is prefer
able to use manual marking while recording.
Connecting the power cord
NOW, you can plug the power cord.
If the wall outlet does not match the AC plug, use the supplied
AC plug adaptor.
When the power cord is connected, the STANDBY light on the
left-hand side of the System’s front panel comes on. [See
“Overview of controls” for a description of the controls on the
System.]

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Putting the batteries into the remote
controi unit_____________________
The battery compartment is located on the back of the remote
control.
1. Press down on the triangular mark of the compartment
cover, and slide the cover off to open the compartment.
2. Place the two accessory R6P (SUM-3)AA (15F) batter
ies in the remote control according to the polarity
markings (“+” and inside the compartment and on
the batteries.
Precautions for the safe use of batteries
Observe the following precautions for the safe use of batteries.
Their life will be shortened, they may burst or their contents
may leak if they are used improperly:
• Remove batteries from the remote control if it is not going
to be used for a long period of time.
• Remove dead batteries and dispose of them properly.
• Never leave dead batteries lying around, take them apart,
mix them with other refuse, or throw them into an incinera
tor.
• Never touch liquid that has leaked out of a battery.
• Do not mix new and old batteries, or batteries of different
types, when replacing them.
Using the remote control
_________
The remote control is ready to use when its batteries are
installed properly.
To use it, point its infrared light-emitting window toward the
display window of the System and press a button. The oper
ating range of the remote control is up to about seven meters
in front of the System and within about 30 degrees to each side
— with nothing between the remote control and the System
interrupting the beam path.
If pressing a button on the remote control does not produce
any response, check to make sure it is pointed correctly and
try again. If it still does not function, check the batteries.
3. Place the cover over the compartment, press down
lightly, and push it upward until it snaps on.
The batteries last about one year with normal use. If function
of the remote control become erratic, replace the batteries.
See “Precautions for the safe use of batteries” below for more
information.

ing the sound fields of world famous concert halls using a
“symmetrical 6-point sound analysis method”, a unique three
dimensional sound field measuring method created by JVC.
