Disc Play Introduction

CD 1 READY

CD 2 READY CD 3 READY C D4 READY C D5 READY

This unit has been designed to play back the following discs:

• CD (Audio CD)/CD-R (CD-Recordable)/CD-RW (CDReWritable)

• MP3 disc (MP3 files recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW)*

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD-ReWritable) can be played back only if they have been “finalized.”

• You can play back your original CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded in music CD format or in MP3 format. However, they may not be played back depending on their characteristics or recording conditions.

• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if the player’s lens is dirty.

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular discs.

About the CD ready lamps

Each CD ready lamp shows the status of a disc placed on each corresponding disc tray (CD1 – CD5).

• CD ready lamps light up

When the disc is loaded and currently selected.

• CD ready lamps light slightly

When the disc is loaded, but not currently selected.

• CD ready lamp flashes

When the disc is played back or paused.

*About MP3

MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a data compression ratio of 1:10 (128 kbps*). By using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contains 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can.

* Bit rate is the average number of bits that one second of audio

data will consume. The basic unit of measurement for bitrate is kbps (1,024 bits per second). To get a better audio quality, choose a higher bit rate. The most popular bit rate for encoding (recording) is 128 kbps.

MP3 disc structure

On an MP3 disc, each song (material) is recorded as a file. Files are grouped into a folder. Folders can also include other directories, creating hierarchical directory layers. (See “How are MP3 files recorded and played back?” on page 14.)

This unit manages files and folders as “tracks” and “groups.” This unit can recognize up to 255 groups per disc (up to 999 tracks). The unit ignores those exceeding the maximum numbers and cannot play them back.

More about MP3 discs

• MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout time. (It varies due to the complexity of the recording configuration.)

• When making an MP3 disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 as the disc format.

• This unit does not support multisession recording.

• This unit can play MP3 files only with the following file extensions— “.MP3,” “.Mp3,” “.mP3,” and “.mp3.”

• Files other than MP3 are ignored.

• Some MP3 discs may not be played back because of their disc characteristics or recording conditions.

• CD ready lamps goes off

When the unit detects there is no disc loaded on a certain tray. (“NO DISC # (number)” appears on the display.)

If the loaded disc is an MP3 disc

The corresponding CD ready lamp and the MP3 indicator will light up.

MP3 “tracks (files)” can be recorded in “group”—folders in PC terminology. During recording, the tracks and groups can be arranged similarly to the tracks and folders of computer data. “Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every track and group can be linked to the root. In compliance with ISO 9660, the maximum allowable depth of nested directories—so called “hierarchy”—is eight (inclusive of the root).

Playback order, track search order, and group search order of the MP3 tracks recorded on a disc are determined by the writing (or encoding) application; therefore, playback order may be different from the one you have intended while recording the groups and the tracks.

The illustration shows an example of how MP3 tracks are recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW, how they are played back and how they are searched for on this unit.

• The numbers in circles next to the MP3 tracks ( the playback order and search order of the MP3 tracks. Normally this unit plays back MP3 tracks in the recorded order.

• The numbers inside the groups indicate the playback order and search order of the groups on an MP3 disc. Normally this unit plays back MP3 tracks in the groups in the recorded order. The groups marked with asterisk (*) will be skipped since they do not include any MP3 tracks.

IMPORTANT:

• It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast or cable program and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic embodied therein.

• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME, the SUBWOOFER LEVEL, and the SOUND MODE controls, or the SOUND TURBO button. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.

• If there are excessive noise or static in the recording you have made, the unit may be too close to a TV. Increase the distance between the TV and the unit.

• You can only use type I tape for recording.

To protect your recording

Cassettes have two small tabs on the back to protect from unexpected erasure or rerecording. To protect your recording, remove these tabs. To re-record on a protected tape, cover the holes with adhesive tape.

To keep the best recording and playback sound quality

If the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers of the cassette deck become dirty, the following will occur:

• Impaired sound quality

Introduction

English

We would like to thank you for purchasing one of our JVC products.

Before operating this unit, read this manual carefully and thoroughly to

obtain the best possible performance from your unit, and retain this manual

for future reference.

About This Manual

This manual is organized as follows:

• The manual mainly explains operations using the

buttons and controls on the unit. You can also use the buttons on the remote control if they have the same or similar names (or marks) as those on the unit. If operation using the remote control is different from that using the unit, it is then explained.

• Basic and common information that is the same for many functions is grouped in one place, and is not repeated for each procedure. For instance, we do not repeat the information about turning on/off the unit, setting the volume, changing the sound effects, etc., which are explained in the section “Common Operations” on pages 9 to 11.

• The following symbols are used in this manual:

Gives you warning and caution to prevent damage or risk of fire/electric shock. Furthermore, it gives you information about what is not good for obtaining the best possible performance from the unit.

Gives you information and hints you should know.

Precautions

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in the following cases:

• After starting heating in the room

• In a damp room

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

Should condensation occur, the unit may malfunction. In this case, leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.

Internal heat

A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel to prevent heat buildup inside the unit.

For safety, observe the following carefully:

• Make sure there is good ventilation around the unit. Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the unit.

• DO NOT block the cooling fan and the ventilation openings or holes. If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.

Installation

• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold—between 5˚C and 35˚C.

• Install the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat buildup in the unit.

• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.

• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference with TV.

DO NOT install the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.

Disc Play Introduction

CD 1 READY

CD 2 READY CD 3 READY C D4 READY C D5 READY

English

This unit has been designed to play back the following discs:

• CD (Audio CD)/CD-R (CD-Recordable)/CD-RW (CDReWritable)

• MP3 disc (MP3 files recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW)*

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD-ReWritable) can be played back only if they have been “finalized.”

• You can play back your original CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded in music CD format or in MP3 format. However, they may not be played back depending on their characteristics or recording conditions.

• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if the player’s lens is dirty.

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular discs.

*About MP3

MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a data compression ratio of 1:10 (128 kbps*). By using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contains 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can.

* Bit rate is the average number of bits that one second of audio

data will consume. The basic unit of measurement for bitrate is kbps (1,024 bits per second). To get a better audio quality, choose a higher bit rate. The most popular bit rate for encoding (recording) is 128 kbps.

MP3 disc structure

On an MP3 disc, each song (material) is recorded as a file. Files are grouped into a folder. Folders can also include other directories, creating hierarchical directory layers. (See “How are MP3 files recorded and played back?” on page 14.)

This unit manages files and folders as “tracks” and “groups.” This unit can recognize up to 255 groups per disc (up to 999 tracks). The unit ignores those exceeding the maximum numbers and cannot play them back.

About the CD ready lamps

Each CD ready lamp shows the status of a disc placed on each corresponding disc tray (CD1 – CD5).

• CD ready lamps light up

When the disc is loaded and currently selected.

• CD ready lamps light slightly

When the disc is loaded, but not currently selected.

• CD ready lamp flashes

When the disc is played back or paused.

• CD ready lamps goes off

When the unit detects there is no disc loaded on a certain tray. (“NO DISC # (number)” appears on the display.)

If the loaded disc is an MP3 disc

The corresponding CD ready lamp and the MP3 indicator will light up.

More about MP3 discs

• MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout time. (It varies due to the complexity of the recording configuration.)

• When making an MP3 disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 as the disc format.

• This unit does not support multisession recording.

• This unit can play MP3 files only with the following file extensions— “.MP3,” “.Mp3,” “.mP3,” and “.mp3.”

• Files other than MP3 are ignored.

• Some MP3 discs may not be played back because of their disc characteristics or recording conditions.

MP3 “tracks (files)” can be recorded in “group”—folders in PC terminology. During recording, the tracks and groups can be arranged similarly to the tracks and folders of computer data. “Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every track and group can be linked to the root. In compliance with ISO 9660, the maximum allowable depth of nested directories—so called “hierarchy”—is eight (inclusive of the root).

Playback order, track search order, and group search order of the MP3 tracks recorded on a disc are determined by the writing (or encoding) application; therefore, playback order may be different from the one you have intended while recording the groups and the tracks.

The illustration shows an example of how MP3 tracks are recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW, how they are played back and how they are searched for on this unit.

• The numbers in circles next to the MP3 tracks ( the playback order and search order of the MP3 tracks. Normally this unit plays back MP3 tracks in the recorded order.

• The numbers inside the groups indicate the playback order and search order of the groups on an MP3 disc. Normally this unit plays back MP3 tracks in the groups in the recorded order. The groups marked with asterisk (*) will be skipped since they do not include any MP3 tracks.

Locating the Beginning of a Song—Music Scan

You can use Music Scan to locate the beginning of a song. Music Scan searches for blank portions that usually separate recorded songs, then plays the next song.

To find the beginning of the current song

During play, press ¡ or 1 (or ¢ (¡) / 4 (1) on the remote control) in the opposite direction to the tape play. The tape direction indicator of the opposite direction to the tape play starts flashing intermittently.

Searching stops automatically at the beginning of the current song, and it starts automatically.

To find the beginning of the next song

During play, press ¡ or 1 (or ¢ (¡) / 4 (1) on the remote control) in the same direction as the tape is playing. The tape direction indicator of the same direction as the tape is playing starts flashing intermittently.

Searching stops automatically at the beginning of the next song, and the song starts automatically.

Music Scan works by detecting a 4-second long blank between each song, so it will not work well in the following cases

• No blank at the beginning of a song.

• Noise (often caused by much use or poor quality dubbing) which

fills the blank.

• Long, very soft passages or pauses in a song.

The use of C-120 or thinner tape is not recommended, since characteristic deterioration may occur and this tape easily jams in the pinchrollers and the capstans.

IMPORTANT:

• It may be unlawful to record or playback copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright owner.

• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME, the SUBWOOFER LEVEL, and the SOUND MODE controls, or the SOUND TURBO button. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.

• If there are excessive noise or static in the recording you have made, the unit may be too close to a TV. Increase the distance between the TV and the unit.

• You can only use type I tape for recording.

To protect your recording

Cassettes have two small tabs on the back to protect from unexpected erasure or rerecording. To protect your recording, remove these tabs. To re-record on a protected tape, cover the holes with adhesive tape.

To keep the best recording and playback sound quality

If the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers of the cassette deck become dirty, the following will occur:

• Impaired sound quality

• Discontinuous sound

• Fading

• Incomplete erasure

• Difficulty in recording

To clean the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers
