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.

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:

Turning the Power On and Off
Turning the System On
Press the % button.
The Top Cover moves backward and the Unit’s top buttons appear. The display comes on and “HELLO” is displayed once. The STANDBY/ON indicator lights in green. The System comes on ready to continue in the mode it was in when the power was last turned off.
For example, if the last thing you were doing was listen-
ing to a CD, you are now ready to listen to a CD again. If you wish, you can change to another source.
If you were listening to the Tuner last, the Tuner comes
on playing the station it was last set to.
Turning the System Off
Press the % button again.
The Top Cover moves back to the original position. “GOOD BYE” is displayed and the display goes out, except for the clock display. The STANDBY/ON indicator lights in red.
Some power is always consumed even though power is
turned off (called Standby Mode).
To switch off the System completely, unplug the AC
power cord from the wall outlet. When you unplug the AC power cord, the clock will be reset to 0:00 after about 20 minutes.
Adjusting the Brightness (DIMMER)
You can adjust the brightness of the backlighting for the dis­play.
When the System is Turned On
Each time you press the DIMMER button on the Remote Control, the brightness of the backlighting changes as fol­lows: Bright = Dark = (back to the beginning)
When the System is Turned Off (STANDBY MODE)
Each time you press the DIMMER button on the Remote Control, the brightness of the backlighting changes as fol­lows:
No backlighting = Dark backlighting = (back to the beginning)
• When the System is turned off again after power on, the brightness in Standby mode will be restored to the previ­ous one since the brightness setting in Standby mode is stored in memory.
Adjusting the Volume
Press the VOLUME + button to increase the volume or press the VOLUME – button to decrease it.
You can adjust the volume level between 0 and 50.
CAUTION:
• DO NOT turn off the System with the vol­ume set to an extremely high level; other­wise a sudden blast of sound could damage your hearing, speakers and/or headphones when you turn on the System or start playing any source next time. REMEMBER you cannot adjust the volume level while the System is in standby mode.
For private listening
Connect a pair of headphones to the PHONES jack. No sound comes out of the speakers. Be sure to turn down the volume before connecting or put­ting on headphones.

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.
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.
