This unit (CA-FSSD1000) includes an internal cooling fan, so as to
allow for high-power operation within a small space.
This fan comes on when the sound level is set high, and may also
come on even at low sound levels if the internal temperature rises. To
ensure effective fan operation, please leave at least 15cm (5-15/16”)
clearance between the rear of the unit and the wall, and at least 1cm
(7/16”) clearance on each side of the unit.

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the JVC 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.
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.

■ The powered Subwoofer provides richness of bass in addition to faithfull reproduction at low fre­quency.

■ A 45-station preset capability (30 FM and 15 AM) in addition to auto-seek and manual tuning.

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

■ Timer functions; Daily Timer and Sleep Timer.

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

■ The system can play CD-R and CD-RW after they have been finalized.

■ You can play back your original CD-R or CD-RW recorded in Music CD format. (However they may not be played back

depending on their characteristics or recording conditions.)

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

‘Basic Operations’, and not repeated under each function.

• The names of buttons/controls and display messages are written in all capital letters: e.g. FM/AM, “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 have enjoyed making this manual for you, and hope it serves you in enjoying the many features built into your System.

WARNINGS

• DO NOT PUT ANYTHING ON THE TOP COVER. IF THE SYSTEM IS OPERATED WITH SOMETHING

PUT ON THE TOP COVER, IT WILL BE DAMAGED WHEN YOU TRY TO OPEN THE TOP COVER.

• NEVER REMOVE THE TOP COVER FROM THE UNIT. SERIOUS INJURY MAY OCCUR IF THE SYS-

TEM IS OPERATED WITHOUT THE TOP COVER.

• SUPPLIED SPEAKERS (SP-FSSD1000) ARE EXCLUSIVELY FOR THIS SYSTEM. USING WITH OTHER

DEVICES WILL DAMAGE THE SPEAKERS.

IMPORTANT CAUTIONS

Getting Started

Connecting the AC Power Cord

Firmly insert the supplied AC power cord into the AC inlet on the back of the Unit.

AC IN

Power cord

The provided AC power cord for this unit has certain one-way direction connections to prevent electric shock. Refer to the
illustration for correct connection.

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:

On the Remote Control

CD #/8 button
FM/AM button
MD/AUX button

Automatic Power On

The System automatically turns on with the following operation.

• When you press the CD 0 button on the Remote Control or the OPEN/CLOSE button on the Unit, the System automatically

turns on and the Top Cover opens to allow CD setting. Howev er, this operation does not change the function to CD.
When you press the ü button to turn off the System, the Top Cov er will be automatically closed if it is opened.

• When you press the DOOR SLIDE button on the Remote Control, the System automatically turns on and the Top Cover

moves backwards to allow button operation.
When you press the ü button to turn off the System, the Top Cov er will automatically mo v es back to the original po sition,
if it is in the backward positi on.

Care And Maintenance

Handle your CDs carefully, and they will last a long time.

Compact Discs

• Only CDs bearing this mark can
be used with this System. How­ever, continued use of irregular
shape CDs (heart-shape, octago­nal, etc.) can damage the System.

• Remove the CD from its case by
holding it at the edges while press­ing the case’s 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.

Cleaning the Lens

If the lens in the CD pickup is dirty, dropout, etc., could de­grade sound.
Open the Top Cover and clean the lens as shown.

• Use a blower (available from a camera store) to blow
dust off the lens.

Blower

Lens

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

• 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.

CAUTION:

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

General Notes

In general, you will have the best performance by keeping
your CDs and the mechanism clean.

• Store CDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on
shelves.

• Keep the System’s Top Cover closed when not in use.

Cleaning the unit

• Stains on the unit
Should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the un it is heavily
stained, wipe it witha cloth soaked in water-diluted neutral
detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.

• Since the unit may deteriorate in quality, become damaged
or get its paint peeled off, be careful about t h e followings.

- DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth.

- DO NOT wipe it strong.

- DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.

- DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as insecti-

cides to it.

- DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in con-

tact with it for a long time.

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.

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

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.

21

Troubleshooting

• If you are having a problem with your System, check this
list for a possible solution before calling for service.

Symptom Possible Cause Action

No sound is heard. • Connections are incorrect, or loose.

• Headphones are connected.

Poor radio reception • The antenna is disconnected.

• The AM Loop Antenna is too close
to the System.

• The FM Wire Antenna is not prop­erly extended and positioned.

The CD skips. The CD is dirty or scratched. Clean or replace the CD.
The CD does not play. The CD is upside down. Put the CD in with the label side up.
Unable to operate the Remote Control. • The path between the Remote Con-

trol and the sensor on the Unit is
blocked.

• The batteries have lost their charge.

Operations are disabled. The built-in microprocessor has mal-

functioned due to external electrical in­terference.

• If you cannot solve the problem from the hints given
here, or the System has been physically damaged, call a
qualified person, such as your dealer, for service.

• Check all connections and make cor­rections. (See pages 4 to 8.)

• Disconnect the headphones.
