Features

English

Easy operation

Great sound

Triple Tray

Three timers

Sing Along

Here are some of the things that make your CA-V808T 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 CA-V808T and start the radio, the Cassette Deck, or the Video CD Player with a single touch.

• You can use the MULTI CONTROL stick to set the Video CD Player, Tuner, Timer, and Sound Mode operations.

❏ To get such great sound from such a compact package the CA-V808T has:

• Programmed sound mode includes live surround effects D. CLUB, HALL, and STADIUM. It also includes S.E.A (Sound Effect Amplifier) effects ROCK, POP, and CLASSIC. You can also register up to three customized settings.

❏ Video CD changer function can operate 3 discs.

• Discs can be changed during play using the TRIPLE TRAY.

• Continuous, random or program play of 3 discs.

❏ The three timers,

• The Displays are large and clear. They are organized so you can tell at a glance what’s happening because functions light up as you use them, and blink to tell you they are ready. They provide some important messages like “NO DISC”, and other informations.

❏ You can enjoy Karaoke (sing-along) not only with video CDs for Karaoke but also with

conventional tapes and audio CDs by using the voice masking system. With an optional microphone, you can replace the lead singer’s voice on your favorite songs with your own.

• Digital Echo applied to your voice through the microphone gives you a professional sound.

DAILY Timer, REC (Recording) Timer,

and SLEEP Timer are extremely easy to set.

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 CDs, we do not repeat the information about setting the volume and the sound conditions, which are discussed in the Using the Amplifier 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 CA-V808T.

The Cassette Deck allows you to play, record and dub audio tapes. ❏ Most tapes are now recorded with the Dolby NR system, so first check which type of the Dolby

NR system has been used on the tape. Only Dolby B NR is incorporated into the CA-V808T.

❏ With Automatic Tape Detection, you can listen to type I or II tapes without changing any

settings.

The use of tapes longer than 120 minutes is not recommended, since characteristic deterioration may occur and these tapes easily jam in the pinch-rollers and the capstans.

Regular Play

One Touch Play —————————————————————————

❏ Press the TAPE button.

The power comes on and “TAPE” lights up on the display. If there is a tape in the deck corresponding to the Deck indicator DECK A/B, that tape starts to playback. If there is no tape in the deck corresponding to the Deck indicator, the CA-V808T automatically turns on the power and displays “TAPE” then the message “NO TAPE” and waits for you to insert a tape or select another function.

❏ Press the ¤ or ‹ button (or the ™ or £ button on the Remote Control).

The power comes on and “TAPE” appears in the display. When a tape is already in the tape deck, the tape is played in the direction of the button pressed. If there is no tape in the deck corresponding to the Deck indicator, the CA-V808T automatically turns on the power and displays “TAPE” then the message “NO TAPE” and waits for you to insert a tape or select another function.

If the power is already on, you can use this basic procedure:

1.Press the

0 button for the deck you want to use.

2.When the cassette holder opens, put the cassette in, with the exposed part of the tape down,

toward the base of the CA-V808T.

❏ If the cassette holder does not open, turn the Unit off, then back on and press the 0 button

Music Scan works by detecting a 4-second long blank at the beginning of each selection, so it won’t work well if your tape has:

• No blank at the beginning of a selection.

• Noise (often caused by much use or poor quality dubbing) which fills the blank with noise.

• Long, very soft passages or pauses in a selection. The scan will detect these as 4-second long blanks. If this happens, just scan again until you reach the selection you want.

Recording onto a cassette from any of the sound sources is simple. Just place a tape in Deck B, have the source ready, make one or two settings, and you’re ready to record. For each source the procedure is a little different and now we’ll explain just what to do for each one. If you forget, just come back to the section which has the specific procedures you need. But first, here are a few things to make your recordings better.

CD REC START

Things to Know Before You Start Recording ——————————————

❏ It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the

❏ Press the DOLBY B NR button — the indicator lights up — to reduce tape hiss, except when

dubbing tapes, since Dolby NR is inactive in Dubbing Mode regardless of the setting of DOLBY B NR. The dubbed tape automatically contains the same processing as the source tape.

❏ When you want to record onto both sides of a tape, you can set Reverse mode on to do so.

However, recording automatically stops after recording in the 2 direction in Reverse mode. Therefore, make sure that the tape direction is 3 when recording with Reverse mode on.

❏ The recording level, which is the volume at which the new tape is being made, is automatically

set correctly , so it is not affected by the VOLUME control on the CA-V808T. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.

❏ Two small tabs on the back of the cassette tape, one for

side A and one for side B, can be removed to prevent accidental erasure or rerecording. To record on a cassette with the tabs removed, you must cover the holes with adhesive tape first. However, when a type II tape is used, only cover part of the hole as shown, since the other part of the hole is used to detect the tape type.

❏ When recording, you can hear Sound Mode effects through the speakers or headphones.

However, SEA effects can not be recorded.

❏ Type I and Type II tapes can be used for recording.

Note: At the start and end of cassette tapes, there is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto. Depending on the recording source, the first part of the recording may be missing because of the leader. When recording CDs or radio broadcasts, to get the beginning of the recording on the tape, first wind on the leader before beginning recording.

CAUTION: If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static, the Unit may be too close to a TV which was on during the recording. Either turn off the TV or increase the distance between the TV and the CA-V808T.

Standard Recording

This is the basic method for recording any source. The CA-V808T also has special ways for recording CD to tape, and tape to tape, which save you time and effort, as well as give you some special effects. However, when you need to add a selection to a tape you have made, or are combining selections from several sources on one tape, use the method described below; just substitute the source you want into this procedure, such as a tape in Deck A, a CD, or the Tuner. You can also record from VCR with this procedure.

To Record Any Sound Source to Tape —————————————————

Follow these steps to record from any sound source onto a tape in Deck B.

Using the Unit

1.Insert a blank or erasable tape into Deck B.

2.Press the REVERSE MODE button if you want to record on both sides of the tape.

Reverse Mode comes on. ❏ When using Reverse Mode, insert the tape so that it will be recorded in the forwards 3

direction.

3.Check the recording direction for the tape.

Check that the Tape Direction indicator is the same as that for the tape in the tape deck. If the directions are different, press the 7 button after pressing the ¤ or ‹ button to set the tape direction. ❏ When using Reverse Mode to record both sides of a tape, check that the Tape Direction

indicator is in the forwards 3 direction. If the direction indicator is not in the forwards 3 direction, press the ‹ button then press the 7 button.

At the end of the tape, the CA-V808T automatically goes back to the beginning of the last selection and rerecords it, this time gently fading out at the end. If you selected Reverse Mode, “TAPE SIDE-B STANDBY” scrolls through the display then the reverse side starts with the last selection of the first side. The last selection of the first side will fade out at the end. (A 10 second blank is created at the beginning of the reverse side.)

Note:

When the recording is finished, the message “CD REC FINISHED” scrolls by on the display. The V ideo CD Player and Cassette Deck stop.

To Stop at Any Time during the Recording Process

Press the REC START/STOP button or the 7 button on the Cassette Deck or Video CD Player (or the 7 button on the Remote Control).

Note:

• When making SLEEP timer settings while doing CD Direct recording, set the time so that there is enough leeway to finish the recording before the power goes off. If the time is set to about the length of the CD, the power may go off before recording finishes.

For CD Direct Recording using more than one disc, use a blank tape. If you use a prerecorded tape, prerecorded material may not be earsed between newly-recorded tracks.

Auto Edit Recording

Using Auto Edit, you can record the CD tracks to fit the tape, so a selection isn’t cut off. Auto Edit is one of the best ways to copy all of a CD onto a tape. Auto Edit programs the CD tracks in numerical order.

Setting the SLEEP Timer

Use the Sleep Timer to turn the Unit off after a certain number of minutes when it is playing. By setting this timer, you can fall asleep to music and know your Unit will turn off by itself rather than play all night. ❏ You can only set the Sleep Timer when the Unit is on and a source is playing.

To set the SLEEP Timer, follow this procedure:

SLEEP

1.With the CA-V808T on and a source playing, press the SLEEP button on the Remote Control.

The message “SLEEP” appears on the display.

SLEEP

2.Set the length of time you want the source to play before shutting off.

❏ Each time you press this button while the “SLEEP” indicator is blinking, it changes the

number of minutes shown on the display in this sequence: → 10 → 20 → 30 → 60 → 90 → 120 → Cancelled → (back to the beginning)

When the number of minutes you want shows on the display, just wait 5 seconds until the indicator stops blinking, and is lighted steadily. The Unit is now set to turn off after the number of minutes you set.

To Change the SLEEP Timer Setting

Press the SLEEP button until the number of minutes you want appears on the display.

To Cancel the SLEEP Timer Setting

Press the SLEEP button until the “SLEEP” indicator goes off on the display. Turning off the Unit also cancels the SLEEP Timer.

Timer Priority

Example 1

REC Timer

SLEEP Timer

Since each timer can be set independently, you may wonder what happens if the settings overlap. Here are the priorities for each timer: ❏ The REC Timer always has priority. This means that:

• If another timer is set to come on during a time when the REC Timer is operating, the other

timer just won’t come on at all, so you will always get the entire program on tape.

• If the REC Timer is set to come on while another timer is operating, the other timer will shut

off 10 seconds before the REC Timer is set to turn on, and the REC Timer will then take over.

❏ The SLEEP Timer has the least priority. This means that if the SLEEP Timer is set while DAILY

Timer is operating, the DAILY Timer settings are cancelled. However, if DAILY Timer is set to come while the SLEEP Timer is operating, the SLEEP Timer setting will be cancelled and the Unit will use the settings from the DAILY Timer.

Care and Maintenance

Compact Discs

English

CAUTION: Do not use any solvent (for example, conventional record cleaner, spray thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean a CD.

Handle your compact discs, cassette tapes, and Cassette Deck carefully, and they will last a long time.

• Remove the CD from the case by holding it at the edges while pressing the center hole lightly.

• Do not touch the shiny surface of the CD, or bend the CD.

• Put the CD back in its case after use to prevent warping.

• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the CD when placing it back in the case.

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes, and moisture.

• A dirty CD may not play correctly. If a CD does become dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in a straight line, from center to edge.

Moisture Condensation

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

• After starting the heating in the room.

• In a damp room.

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

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

Cassette Tapes

• If the tape is loose in its cassette, take up the slack by inserting a pencil in one of the reels and rotating.

• If the tape is loose, it may get stretched, cut, or caught in the cassette.

• Do not touch the tape surface.

• Do not store the tape:

- In dusty places

- In direct sunlight or heat

- In moist areas
