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.

English

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 System incorporates AHB (Active Hyper Bass) PRO circuitry to faithfully reproduce low

frequency sound.

❑ 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. The Daily Timer can select one of 10 melodies as a source, in addition to

CD, FM, AM and LINE.

❑ 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, “CD 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 CD DOOR. IF THE SYSTEM IS OPERATED WITH SOMETHING PUT ON THE CD DOOR, IT WILL BE DAMAGED WHEN YOU TRY TO OPEN THE CD DOOR.

• NEVER REMOVE THE CD DOOR FROM THE UNIT. SERIOUS INJURY MAY OCCUR IF THE SYSTEM IS OPERATED WITHOUT THE CD DOOR.

reset to “DISPLAY ON”.

Adjusting the Volume

Turn the VOLUME control on the Unit clockwise to increase the volume or turn it counterclockwise to decrease the volume. Press the VOLUME + button on the Remote Control to increase the volume or press the VOLUME _ button on the Remote Control to decrease the volume.

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.

Fade-out Muting (FADE MUTING)

You can mute the output with one touch operation.

To mute the output, press the FADE MUTING button on the Remote Control. Then, “FADE MUTING” blinks and the output will be faded out and becomes 0.

To release muting, press the FADE MUTING button once again. Then, the output will be faded in to the original level.

• Adjusting the volume causes the muting process (fading out to 0) to release.

• If you use the AHB PRO button or the BASS/TREBLE button during muting, the FADE MUTING button does not work to release muting. In this case, turn the VOLUME control on the Unit or the VOLUME+/ _ button on the Remote Control to newly set the volume.

Reinforcing the Bass Sound (Active Hyper Bass Pro.)

You can adjust the volume level between 0 and 50.

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.

11

You can reinforce the bass sound to maintain rich, full bass at low volume. (This effect does not apply to the headphones.)

To get the effect, press the AHB PRO button on the Unit or the Remote Control. “AHB PRO ON” appears and the “BASS” indicator lights up. To cancel the effect, press the AHB PRO button again. “AHB PRO OFF” appears and the “BASS” indicator goes out.

Tone Control (BASS/TREBLE)

Basic Operations

No signal condition:

Source CD: CD is stopped or no CD is inserted.

English

You can control the tone by changing the bass (low frequency) and treble (high frequency).

On the Remote Control

Waiting for five seconds will also return the System to the normal display.

Auto Power Off (A.P.off)

You can automatically turn off the System when no signal condition continues for three minutes. This function is effective when the source is set to “CD”, but not to “FM”, “AM” or “ LINE”.

When no signal condition continues, “A.P.off 20 sec” (20 seconds left before elapsed time reaches three minutes) appears on the display. The displayed time is counted down and, finally, the System is turned off (Standby mode).

• If a CD is played back, the “A.P.off” indicator stops blinking and stays lit again.

• If you press a button or turn the VOLUME control, three-minute counting down is reset and counting down newly restarts.

To disable the A.P.off function

When the source is “CD”, press the A.P.off button on the Remote Control until “A.P.off STOP” appears on the display. Then, the “A.P.off” indicator goes out.

Entering the Number with the Remote Control (Numeric Keys)

You will use the Numeric Keys on the Remote Control to enter numbers for presetting stations, recalling the preset stations, selecting track number, or programming the playing tracks on a CD. How to enter the number with the Numeric Keys is explained here.

Examples:

Care And Maintenance

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

Compact Discs

• Only CDs bearing these marks 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.

- 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 insecticides to it.

- DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact with it for a long time.

Cleaning the Lens

If the lens in the CD pickup is dirty, dropout, etc., could degrade sound. Open the CD door 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.

English

• 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 CD door closed when not in use.

Cleaning the Unit

• Stains on the Unit

Should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the Unit is heavily stained, wipe it with a 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 the followings.

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.
