CAUTIONS:

• ONLY USE THE JVC POWER CORD PROVIDED WITH THIS SYSTEM TO AVOID MALFUNC­TION OR DAMAGE TO THE SYSTEM.

• BE SURE TO UNPLUG THE POWER CORD FROM THE OUTLET WHEN GOING OUT OR WHEN
THE SYSTEM IS NOT IN USE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.

Now you can plug the AC power cord into the wall outlet, and your System is at your command!
Before operating, verify that the display shows the clock. If malfunctions may occur, re-connect

the power cord.

COMPU Play

JVC’s COMPU PLAY feature lets you control the most frequently used System functions with a single touch.
With One Touch Operation you can play a CD, turn on the radio, or listen to an external equipment with a single press of the
play button for that function. One Touch Operation turns the power on for you, then starts the function you have specified. At
the same time, the Top Cover moves backward to allow the Unit’s top button operation. If the System is not ready (no CD in
place), the System still powers on so you can insert a CD.
How One Touch Operation works in each case is explained in the section dealing with that function.
The COMPU PLAY buttons are:
