Installing the System

Notes on installing the system
Always install the system on a flat, stable surface. When installing the system on a stand of some sort, be
l
sure to check the strength of the stand. The magnets used in the speakers may cause color irregularities on TV or PC screens. Do not set up the
l
speakers too close to a TV or PC.
Left speaker Right speakerMain unit
CAUTION
Observe the following cautions when installing the system. Insufficient heat radiation may build up internal heat and cause a malfunction or fire hazard.
Do not place any object on the system that may hinder heat radiation.
l
Do not place the system upside-down or lay it on its side.
l
Do not cover the system with a cloth or place it on a carpet or blanket.
l
Do not place the system in a narrow space that hinders the ventilation.
l
Leave the spaces specified below around the cabinets of the main unit.
l
Top panel: 50 cm (19-11/16 in.) or more Side panel: 10 cm (3-15/16 in.) or more Back panel: 10 cm (3-15/16 in.) or more
Install the system so the power outlet is easily accessible, and unplug the power cord from the power outlet immediately in case of any trouble. Note that the power supply to the system is not shut down completely by simply setting the power switch to OFF. To shut down the power supply completely, unplug the power cord.
Getting the best acoustic effect
The sound will vary depending on the positioning of the speakers. To get the best possible sound quality, note the guidelines below.
Ensure that the areas around the left and right speakers are as identical as possible. Set up the left
l
and right speakers away from the wall and hang thick curtains on any windows to minimize echoes or reverberation.
Place the left and right speakers as far apart as possible.
l
Position the speakers at the same height as your ears when you are using the system.

installation
For more information, see “Connecting Other Accessories (Commercially Available Units)” on P.10-11.
The speakers are not distinguished as either the left or right speaker.
Left speaker
Since antenna installation requires skill and experience, always consult your dealer before installation. The antenna should be located away from power lines. If the antenna falls over, contact with a power line creates the risk of electric shock.
Connecting the System
Microcomputer malfunctions
If the system is connected correctly and still does not operate normally or shows display errors, reset the microcomputer. (P.67)
Connecting the AM loop antenna
The antenna supplied with the system is for indoor use. Place it as far as possible away from the main unit, your TV set, the speaker cords and the power cord and point it in the direction that gives the best reception.
Connecting the antenna cord
l
As shown on the right, connect the AM antenna cord [AM] terminals.

Connecting the FM indoor antenna
The antenna supplied with the system is a basic antenna for indoor use. For stable signal reception, the use of an outdoor antenna (commercially available) is recommended. To connect an outdoor antenna, first remove the indoor antenna.
Connecting the speakers
Notes on connecting the
speaker cords
Preparing the ends of the speaker cords
l
Twist the plastic sleeve on the end of the cord as you pull it off.
Never short-circuit the positive (+) and negative (–) ends of the speaker cords. (Do not touch the + and - cords together.) Mistakenly reversing the positive and negative polarity will result in unnatural sound and unclear sound.

interference or no sound at all.
iPod
Attach the Dock adapter supplied with iPod to the system. Open the cover on the main unit, and then push down the Dock adapter into the unit with its slit facing toward the unit until it clicks.
Attach iPod to the iPod connector.
To remove the Dock adapter
l
Insert a flat-blade screwdriver or a similar tool into the slit of the Dock adapter, and then remove it upward.
You cannot attach iPod to the system if it is in
l
a cover, case, or with other accessories. Always remove it.
Connecting iPod to the system without using
l
the Dock adapter may deteriorate or damage the connector. Always use the Dock adapter.
Keep iPod on a straight position while connecting/
l
disconnecting it. Once iPod is connected, it can be charged.
l
For more information on which models can be connected, see P.34.
USB
Connect USB flash memory or USB mass storage class compliant digital audio players to the [USB ] port after opening the cover on the main unit.
Depending on the device being connected, it may
l
take some time for the system to recognize it. Some USB devices may not be recognized or cannot
l
play certain files. With some models, a USB connection mode selection
l
screen will appear. Select “Storage Mode”.
D.AUDIO IN
Connect digital audio players to the terminal on the rear panel of the main unit.
Portable digital audio players can be connected

You cannot connect a computer and JVC Everio
l
camcorder to the USB terminals of the System. Electrostatic shock at connecting a USB device may
l
cause abnormal playback of the device. In this case, disconnect the USB device then turn off this unit.
When connecting with a USB cable, use the USB 2.0

cable whose length is less than 1 m (3.28 ft.). You can connect a USB device such as a USB flash
l
memory device, hard disk drive, multimedia card reader, etc. to this System.
You may not be able to play discs that do not conform

used for recording onto a CD-R or CD-RW disc, and depending on the type of CD-R or CD-RW disc used, you may not be able to play the disc on this system.
ExplanationMedia
Precautions when writing data to media
Discs recorded in Packet Write mode or UDF (Universal Disc Format) cannot be played.
l
When writing data to a disc, always close the session or finalize the disc. The disc may not play properly if
l
you do not close the session or finalize the disc. Depending on the specifications of the writing software used, the recorded folder names and file names
l
may not be displayed correctly. Playback for multi-session discs or discs that contain large numbers of folders may take longer to begin
l
than for normal discs. If you write audio files and music CD tracks (CD-DA format) to the same disc, the disc may not play
l
correctly. Before writing audio files to a disc, check that the files play back correctly on the PC being used to write the
l
files. After you finish writing, check that the written files are played back correctly. Use the correct file extensions (mp3, wma, m4a) in the names of audio files. Files without file extensions
l
will not play. Also, do not use audio file extensions (mp3, wma, m4a) for files that are not audio files. For more information on file extensions, see <Supported Audio Files> on the right. In this manual, MP3, WMA and AAC files are referred to collectively as “audio files”.

Handling Discs
Handling precautions
Do not touch the shiny surface when handling a CD.
Discs playable on the system
This system can play back a CD (12 cm [4-3/4 in.], 8 cm [3-3/16 in.]), CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW or the audio part of a CD-EXTRA disc.
Notes on CD-ROM/CD-R/CD-RW discs
If the CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW disc being used has a printable label surface, the label surface may cause sticking that makes it impossible to remove the disc from the system. To prevent malfunction of the system, do not use such a disc.
Always use a disc carrying the marking.
A disc without this marking may be unable to be played back correctly. The disc rotates at a high speed during playback. Never use a cracked, chipped or greatly warped disc. Otherwise, damage or malfunction of the player may result. Also, do not use a disc with a non-circular shape as this may result in malfunction.

locations
Areas exposed to direct sunlight.
l
Areas subjected to excessive humidity or
l
dust. Areas exposed to direct heat from heating

equipment.
Be careful against condensation
n
Extreme di erences between system temperature and air temperature can cause water droplets (condensation) to form on the system. The system will not operate properly while condensation is present. If condensation forms, do not use the system for a few hours to allow the condensation to dry. Take special care against condensation when the system is moved between two locations of very di erent temperatures, or into a room where high humidity is present.
Cleaning the system
n
When the system gets dirty, wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Never use lacquer thinner, benzine, alcohol or contact revitalizer, which will cause discoloration or deformation.
Care and storage of CDs
