SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.

✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮

Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment. Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between

pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’ s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.

Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment. Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.

✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮

DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it w orking normally, or if it is damaged in any way – switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.

DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages. DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unat-

tended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people. DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffic

safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving. DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing. DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment. DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always fit the

manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions. DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.

ABOVE ALL

— NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes , slots or an y other opening in the case —

this could result in a fatal electrical shock.

— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than sorry!

Introduction

Continued

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:

• This manual mainly explains playback operations using the remote control, and the other operation such as recording and editing operations using the buttons and controls on the unit. You can use the buttons and controls both on the remote control and on the unit for the same operations if they have the same or similar names (or marks), unless mentioned otherwise.

• 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 unit, setting the volume, changing the sound effects, and others, which are explained in the section “Basic and Common Operations” on pages 13 – 16.

• The following marks are used in this manual:

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

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 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.

Power sources

• When unplugging the unit 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 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 this 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.

Others

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

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

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

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

Precautions on Disc Playback and Recording

Playback

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

CD ReWritable (CD-RW)

Recording

This unit has been designed to record on the discs bearing the following logos:

CD ReWritable (CD-RW)

CD Recordable (CD-R)

Audio CD

CD Text (Text information can be shown only when playing on 3-CD Changer.)

In addition to the above discs, this unit can play back audio data recorded on CD-G (CD Graphics) and CD-Extra.

Notes on playing a CD-R or CD-RW:

• The built-in CD Recorder can play back both finalized and unfinalized CD-Rs/CD-RWs.

• The built-in 3-CD Changer can also play back both finalized and unfinalized CD-Rs/CD-RWs. However,

some unfinalized discs cannot be played back because of their disc characteristics.

• Either on 3-CD Changer or on CD Recorder, you can play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded on a personal computer only if they have been recorded in the CD audio format.

• Neither on 3-CD Changer nor on CD Recorder, you can play back MP3 discs.

• Some CD-Rs and CD-RWs may not be played back either on 3-CD Changer or on CD Recorder because of their disc characteristics, damage or stains.

Important notice:

• Continuous use of irregular–shaped discs (heart-shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage the disc rotating mechanism.

In addition to the logos shown above, the words shown below or their equivalent should also be indicated somewhere on the package or accompanying documentation.

• FOR CONSUMER

• FOR CONSUMER USE

• FOR MUSIC USE ONLY

The following discs cannot be used for recording:

• Discs bearing logos other than the above.

• Discs intended for professional use.

• Discs intended for recording computer data.

Important notice:

• The manufacturer assumes no liability whatsoever for any damage resulting from missed opportunity or accidental erasure that occurs while conducting recording or playback operations due to malfunctioning of or trouble in the unit, or for any incidental damage.

• Before recording on a CD-R, it is recommended to make a test recording using a CD-RW.

• If PCA (Power Calibration Area) or PMA (Program Memory Area) of the disc is recorded fully, recording cannot be performed on this disc even though there are still unused memory spaces on the disc.

• DO NOT subject the unit to any shock or vibration while recording.

• DO NOT use a dusty or scratched CD-R/CDRW for recording; otherwise, you cannot obtain the satisfactory recording quality.

• 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 CDs.

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

Receiving FM Stations with RDS

RDS allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular program signals. For example, the stations send their station names, as well as information about what type of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.

When tuned into an FM station which provides the RDS service, the RDS indicator lights on the display.

• Some FM stations do not provide RDS signals. With the unit, you can receive the following types of RDS

signals.

PS (Program Service):

Shows commonly known station names.

PTY (Program Type):

Shows types of broadcast programs.

RT (Radio Text):

Shows text messages the station sends.

EON (Enhanced Other Networks):

Provides the information about the types of the programs sent by other RDS stations than the one being received.

More about RDS

• Broadcast RDS signals differ among FM stations. If in doubt, check with local radio stations for details on RDS in your area.

• RDS may not work correctly if the received station is not transmitting the signals properly or if the signal strength is weak.

Before You Start Recording

• When you record onto a partially recorded unfinalized CD-R or CD-RW, its contents are not erased or overwritten. The recording starts from the point following the last recorded track of the disc. For CD-RW only: If you want to record on such a CD-RW from the beginning, you have to erase its contents first (see “Erasing All Tracks (Only for CD-RW)” on page 46). (You cannot erase the contents recorded on a CD-R.)

• When the data recordable memory area of an CD-R or CD-RW becomes fully while recording, recording will stop automatically.

Optimum Power Control (OPC)

When an unfinalized CD-R or CD-RW is loaded in CD Recorder, this CD Recorder automatically checks the disc condition and automatically adjusts the laser output level to obtain optimum recording on the disc before recording.

While OPC is being performed (for about 10 seconds), “UPDATE OPC” flashes in the main display (and the REC indicator also lights on the display).

If “OPC ERROR” appears in the main display

The disc inserted cannot be used for recording.

Sampling frequency rate converter

The sampling frequency rate converter built in the CD Recorder allows you to record a digital source having sampling frequency (fs) of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz.

• When you can record dts* CD or HDCD coming through the LINE DIGITAL IN terminal, bypass the built-in sampling frequency rate converter.

To bypass the sampling frequency rate converter, see “Turning On or Off Sampling Frequency Rate Converter” on page 44.

* dts is a trademark of Digital Theater Systems, Inc. **HDCD® is a registered trademark of Pacific Microsonic, Inc.

** signals

Auto track-marking

Whenever you turn on the unit, auto track-marking is activated. (The AUTO TRACK indicator will light on the display.)

When auto track-marking is activated

• Recording from 3-CD Changer:

Track marks are recorded automatically at the points where the tracks change.

• Recording an analog source—FM, AM, and

external component connected to the LINE IN jacks:

No track mark is recorded on a disc. This means that, when playing this disc, a CD player will regard the entire recording as one track. However, if there is a blank of 3 seconds or more, CD Recorder will consider it as a blank separating 2 tracks and consequently put a track mark.

• Recording through the LINE DIGITAL IN

terminal:

– If the playback source DOES have track marks

recorded, they are recorded automatically at the points where the tracks change.

– If the playback source DOES NOT have track

marks recorded, this unit functions in the same way for recording an analog source.

To cancel auto track-marking and use manual trackmarking, see “Recording Track Marks Manually—

Manual Track-Marking” on page 43.

Auto track space

While recording from the 3-CD Changer onto CD Recorder, you can use this function. When this function is turned on, CD Recorder automatically makes 2-second blank portion at the beginning of each track on a recorded disc.

To use this function for your recording, see “Separating Recorded Tracks Automatically—Auto Track Space” on page 44.

– 32 –

Page 38

Available recording modes—REC MODE

CD Recorder provides a variety of the recording methods—called “Recording Modes.” Available recording modes vary according to the playback source and its playback status.

By pressing REC MODE after all preparation for recording is finished, you can select and use the following recording modes.

7 When the source is 3-CD Changer

—CD Synchronized Recording:

• CD Direct Recording (with or without finalization)—See page 36.

• First Track Recording—See page 38.

• Listening Edit Recording (with or without finalization)—See page 39.

During play, you can only perform a single track recording—See page 41.

7 When the source is the external component

• Sound Synchronized Recording—See page 40.

When recording is stopped or finished, CD Synchronized Recording and Sound Synchronized Recording are canceled automatically.

Digital recording or analog recording?

CD Recorder automatically selects appropriate recording— either digital or analog—during CD Synchronized Recording. When digital source is selected as the playback sound, it will be recorded digitally unless it is a first-generation digital copy (see “SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)” on page 54). In this case, CD Recorder selects analog recording.

High-Speed Recording

When using some of the Recording Modes mentioned on the left column, this unit allows you to change the recording speed—normal speed and high speed. For CD-R, high speed means 4 times normal speed and for CD-RW, 2 times normal speed.

When you select high speed for your recording, you cannot listen to the played-back sounds.

During high-speed recording

You cannot listen to any source, and therefore, cannot adjust the volume level. (“CANNOT LISTEN” will flash in the main display if you try to do.)

Finalization

This is the final process in recording on a CD-R or CDRW. “Finalizing a disc” means writing the TOC (Table of Contents) on the recorded disc. Only after this process is completed, a recorded CD-R or CD-RW can be played back on a CD player compatible with CD-R/CD-RW.

• It is also recommended to finalize a disc in order to play it back on 3-CD Changer.

To finalize a disc, see “Finalizing a Disc—CD-R/CDRW” on page 41.

• Repeat Play will be canceled automatically.

During CD Synchronized Recording

• Auto track-marking is activated automatically.

Other recording methods

You can also use the REC PAUSE button to perform the recording. See “Recording Any Sound Source—Standard Recording” on page 34.

Maintenance

To get the best performance of the unit, keep your discs and mechanism clean.

General Notes

In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your discs and the mechanism clean.

• Store discs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on shelves.

• Keep the disc trays closed when not in use.

To handling discs

When removing a disc from its case, press down the center holder of the case and lift the disc out, holding it by the edges.

• Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not touch its recording surface. When storing a disc into its case, gently insert the disc around the center holder (with the printed surface facing up).

• Make sure to store discs into the cases after use.

• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc when placing it back in its case.

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes, and moisture.

To clean the disc

Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.

DO NOT use any solvent—such as conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner, or benzine—to clean the disc.

To play new discs

New discs may have some rough spots around the inner and outer edges. If such a disc is used, this unit may reject the disc. To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with a pencil or ballpoint pen, etc.

Moisture condensation

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

• After starting the heater.

• When the unit is moved from the extremely hot place to the extremely cold place.

Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this case, eject the disc and leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates.

• DO NOT expose discs to direct sunlight or any heat source or place them in a place subject to high temperature and humidity.

• DO NOT leave discs in a car.

To clean 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 waterdiluted 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.

— 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.

Glossary

OPC (Optimum Power Control)

OPC is a function that checks the loaded disc and automatically adjusts the laser for optimum recording setting before recording through the Digital Optical Input terminal.

PCA (Power Calibration Area)

A space reserved at the beginning of a CD-R/CD-RW for calibrating the laser output power required to record on that disc.

PMA (Program Memory Area)

A temporary memory area on a CD-R/CD-RW, where the information about the recordings on the disc—track numbers, tracks’ start points and end points, etc. is stored until the disc is finalized. When the disc is finalized, this information is written in the TOC (see below).

Sampling Frequency

When analog signals are converted into digital signals, they are divided into many points and digitized. This dividing method is called “sampling.” The sampling frequency indicates how many points one second is divided into—for example, for CD sound, one second is divided into 44 100 points since its sampling frequency is 44.1 kHz.

SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)

Digital audio components, such as CD recorder, MD (Mini-Disc) recorder and DAT (Digital Audio Tape) recorder, can exchange audio signals in the digital forms through digital input/output terminals. The digital audio components allow digital copy of music signals with little deterioration. This has made it necessary to have a copy restriction rule for protecting the copyright, and “SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)” has been established as a result. To protect the copyright, the SCMS allows only first-generation digital copies to be made from premastered software (like CDs or prerecorded MDs).

TOC (Table of Contents)

TOC is a kind of disc information containing sub-data (track number, playing time, etc.) that enables us to search for tracks quickly on the disc. To write the TOC on a CD-R or CD-RW, you need to finalize the disc.

Signification

Skip marks are recorded to all the tracks. You are trying to erase a track or add a skip mark on a finalized

disc. You are trying to unfinalize an unfinalized disc. Loaded disc is blank. Loaded disc is damaged. Erasure on this disc is impossible. Loaded disc is damaged. Finalization on this disc is impossible. You are trying to adjust the volume during high-speed recording.

Disc is damaged. Recording on this disc is impossible. Loaded disc is damaged. Unfinalization on this disc is

impossible. Loaded CD-R is damaged. You are trying to unfinalize a CD-RW which has been recorded

using the “Disc At Once” recording system. You are trying to record on a fully recorded CD-R or CD-RW. Incoming digital signal is not of an audio format.

You are trying to use the REC MUTE button during Synchronized Recording.

Loaded disc is not an audio disc. You are trying to perform one of the functions which is only

possible on a CD-RW. You are trying to perform one of the functions which is only

possible on a CD-R or CD-RW. OPC cannot be performed. No recording or erasure can be

performed on this disc. PCA is full. No recording or erasure can be performed on this

disc. PMA is full. No recording or erasure can be performed on this

disc. Digital recording is prohibited in accordance with SCMS

regulations. The remaining time on a disc is shorter than the playing time of

the track you are trying to record. 21 skip marks are already recorded. 99 tracks have been recorded. No further recording is possible. The external digital component is not connected properly or is

turned off, or its signals are incompatible. OPC is being performed before recording, if a disc is just

inserted in CD Recorder.

Solution
