Introduction

English

We would like to thank you for purchasing one of our JVC products.
Before operating this compact component system, read this manual

carefully and thoroughly to obtain the best possible performance

from your system, 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 units. You can also use the buttons
on the remote control if they have the same or similar
names (or marks) as those on the units.
If operation using the remote control is different from
that using each 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 in
each procedure. For instance, we do not repeat the
information about turning on/off the system, setting the
volume, changing the sound effects, and others, which
are explained in the section “Basic Settings” and
“Common Operations” on pages 10 to 13.

• The following marks are used in this manual:

Power sources

• When unplugging from the wall outlet, always pull the
plug, not the AC power cord.

DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet
hands.

Moisture condensation

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

• After starting heating in the room

• In a damp room

• If the units are brought directly from a cold to a warm
place

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

Gives you warnings and cautions to
prevent from a damage or risk of fire/
electric shock.
Also gives you information which is not
good for obtaining the best possible
performance from the units.

Gives you information and hints you had
better know.

Precautions

Installation

• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot
nor too cold — between 5˚C (41˚F) and 35˚C (95˚F).

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

• Leave sufficient distance between the units and the TV.

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

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

Others

• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into a unit, unplug
the units and consult your dealer before operating any
further.

• If you are not going to operate the units for an extended
period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall
outlet.

DO NOT disassemble the units since there are
no user serviceable parts inside.

If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and
consult your dealer.
