Thank you for purchasing the JVC Ultra Compact Component System.
We hope it will be a valued addition to your home, giving you years of enjoyment.
Be sure to read this instruction manual carefully before operating your new stereo system.
In it you will find all the information you need to set up and use the system.

English

If you have a query that is not answered by the manual, please contact your dealer.

Features

Here are some of the things that make your System both powerful and simple to use.

■ The controls and operations have been redesigned to make them very easy to use, freeing you to just enjoy the music.

• With JVC’s COMPU PLAY you can turn on the System and automatically start the Radio or CD Player with a

single touch.

■ Versatile CD options include repeat, random and program play.

■ Timer functions; set the system to automatically come on, switch off.

■ You can connect various external units, such as an MD recorder, tape deck, etc.

How This Manual Is Organized

• Basic information that is the same for many different functions - e.g. setting the volume - is given in the section ‘Common Operations’,
and not repeated under each function.

• The names of buttons/controls and display messages are written in all capital letters: e.g. TUNER BAND, “NO DISC”.

• System functions are written with an initial capital letter only: e.g. Normal Play.

Use the table of contents to look up specific information you require.
We’ve enjoyed making this manual for you, and hope it serves you in enjoying the many features built into your System.

IMPORTANT CAUTIONS

• Leave sufficient distance between the System and a TV.

• Do not use the System in a place subject to vibrations.

2. Power cord

■

• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!

• Some power (5W) is always consumed as long as the power cord is connected to the wall outlet.

• When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the power cord.

3. Malfunctions, etc.

■

• There are no user serviceable parts inside. In case of system failure, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer.

Moisture Condensation

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

• After turning on heating in the room.

• In a damp room.

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.

• If there are fingerprints, etc. on the lens, gently wipe clean with
a cotton swab.
