Thank you for purchasing the JVC Compact Component System.
We are proud to serve you and we hope this valued addition to your home will give you years of enjoyment. Please read this instruction manual carefully before operating your new stereo system.
For questions that are not answered in the manual, kindly refer to your dealer.
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 the buttons and controls are written in all capital letters like this: SOUND MODE.
•Illustrations used in this manual are of CA-V908T unless mentioned otherwise.
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.
English
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

•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 — CA-V908T, 10 watts — MX-V608T/MX-V688T) 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.

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:

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.
You can also create up to three of your own customized S.E.A. (Sound Effect Amplifier) settings and store them in the Unit’s memory (MANUAL 1, MANUAL 2 and MANUAL 3).
The preset sound modes include modes using surround effects and modes using S.E.A. effects. Sound Mode effects cannot be recorded.
To get an effect, press SOUND MODE repeatedly until the Sound Mode you want appears on the display. The Sound Mode selected will appear on the display for three seconds. When a surround effect mode is selected, the frame around the SOUND MODE indicator will light up. When an S.E.A. effect mode is selected, the SOUND MODE indicator will light up.
Each time you press SOUND MODE, the Sound Mode changes as follows:
=D. CLUB = HALL = STADIUM = ROCK = POP = CLASSIC =MANUAL 1 =
MANUAL 2 = MANUAL 3 =OFF =(back to the beginning)
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. |
POP |
Good for vocal music. |
CLASSIC |
Set for wide and dynamic sound stereo systems. |
To cancel an effect, press SOUND MODE until “OFF” appears on the display. The SOUND MODE indicator goes out.
To recall the previous Sound Mode, press SOUND MODE once.
