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.

IMPORT ANT CAUTIONS

SET /

COMPU PLAY

When the CA-V808T is connected to an AC power outlet, a DEMO mode displaying some of the system’s features automatically starts. The DEMO display cycles through the following items repeatedly.

• Scrolling display of “DEMO MODE START”.

• Demo of MULTI CONTROL.

• Demo of Sound Modes.

• Demo of continuous play from DISC-1 to DISC-3.

• Scrolling display of “TUNER RANDOM 40CH PRESET”.

To turn the DEMO display off, press any of the operation buttons. “DEMO OFF” appears on the display and the DEMO display automatically stops.

To turn the DEMO display on, press the SET/DEMO button during standby.

Note:

• The DEMO display automatically starts when the power cord is inserted into a wall outlet.

COMPU PLAY is JVC’s feature that lets you control the most frequently used functions of the CA-V808T with a single touch. One Touch Operation starts playing CDs, 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:

Press the button.

The display comes on and the STANDBY indicator goes out. The CA-V808T comes on ready to continue in the mode it was in when the power was last turned off. ❏ If the last thing you were doing was listening to a tape in Deck B, you are now ready to listen to

a tape again in Deck B, or you can change to another source.

❏ If you were listening to the Tuner last, the T uner comes on playing the station it was last set to.

Turning the CA-V808T Off —————————————————————

Press the button again.

The STANDBY indicator lights up and the display is blank, except for the clock display. ❏ Some power (17 watts) is always consumed even though power is turned off (called Standby

Mode).

❏ To switch off the Unit completely, unplug the AC power cord from the AC outlet. When you

unplug the AC power cord, the clock will be reset to 0:00 immediately, and preset Tuner stations will be erased after a few days.

Set the Volume Level to 0 by pressing the MUTE button on the Remote Control. Press this button again to restore the Volume Level to its previous level.

Sound Modes

The CA-V808T 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.

❏ The preset sound modes include modes using surround effects and modes using S.E.A. effects. ❏ SEA effects cannot be recorded.
