Detachable WorldSpace satellite antenna

• Freely position the antenna for optimal signal reception using the supplied WS specified extension cable.

Program and language search

• Easily find the type of program you want to listen to and the language you want to hear (subject to availability).

Digital synthesizer tuner

• Receive AM (MW/SW) and FM radio stations. Additionally, the AUTO PRESET function can be used to automatically create a list of presets for frequencies that can be received in your area.

LCD Display with back-light

• Read broadcaster information and display messages with ease. The back-light does not function when using batteries.

Safety Precautions

Prevention of Electric Shocks, Fire Hazards, and Damage

1. Even when the

to standby, a very small current will flow. To save power and for safety reasons, when not using the unit for an extended period of time, disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

2. Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

3. When unplugging from the wall outlet, always

grasp and pull the plug, not the power cord.

4. Consult your nearest dealer when damage,

disconnection, or connect failure is found with the power cord.

5. Do not bend sharply, pull or twist the cord.

6. Do not modify the power cord in any manner.

7. To avoid accidents, do not remove screws to

disassemble the unit and do not touch anything inside the unit.

8. Do not insert any metallic objects into the unit.

9. Unplug the power cord when there is a

possibility of lightning.

10. If water gets inside the unit, unplug the power

cord from the outlet and consult your dealer.

11. Do not block the ventilation holes of the unit so

that heat can escape. Do not place the unit in a badly ventilated place.

(STANDBY/ON) button

When the power cord is connected to an AC outlet, the standby indicator is lit red, when the unit is in the standby mode (this indicator does not light when DC power is supplied). When the power is switched on, the indicator turns off showing that the power is on.

(STANDBY/ON) button is set

PRECAUTIONS REGARDING WS ANTENNA SHORT-CIRCUIT

When there is a possible short-circuit in the WS antenna, the unit will exhibit the following.

1. The WS antenna reception indicator and WorldSpace band indicator will occasionally disappear.

2. When the WS band is selected, the WS band indicator and WS antenna reception indicator will blink.

3. After broadcaster reception is initiated, the sound will be muted for about two seconds before being received.

When these precautionary signs are noted, bring the unit to an authorized JVC dealer or service station.

Handling Precautions

1. Avoid installing in the following places.

• Where it could be subject to vibrations.

• Where it is excessively humid, such as in a bathroom.

• Where it could be magnetized by a magnet or speaker.

2. Do not place cassette tapes, etc. near the speakers.

Since there are magnets in the speakers, do not place tapes or magnetic cards on them as recorded data could be erased.

3. Keep this unit away from your TV.

When this unit is used near a TV, the TV picture could be distorted. If this happens, move this unit away from the TV. If this does not correct the situation, avoid using this unit when the TV is turned on.

4. Cleaning the cabinet

If the cabinet gets dirty, wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Never use benzene or thinner as these could damage the surface finish.

5. When listening with headphones

• Do not listen at high volumes as it could damage your hearing.

• For safety, do not drive while listening to this unit on headphones.

6. Carrying handle

• Do not raise or lower the carrying handle with the telescopic antenna extended, to avoid damaging the antenna. Place the carrying handle so that it does not interfere with operation.

• After connecting the WS antenna cable, be sure to check that the cable is under and not over the carrying handle. If the cable is over the handle, using the handle to carry this unit may stretch the cable and cause the unit to malfunction.

When this unit is plugged into an AC outlet, it consumes a small current to back up the memory

of the microprocessor, even when the (STANDBY/ON) is set to standby.

Unpacking
