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.

To turn off the unit (on standby), press

again so that the STANDBY/ON lamp lights red, and the CDR lamps go off.

• When the power is off (on standby), clock time appears

in the main display—initial setting when shipped from the factory (see “Saving the Power Consumption while On Standby” below).

• A little power is always consumed even while the unit is

in standby mode.

To switch off the power supply completely, unplug the AC power cord from the AC outlet.

Saving the Power Consumption while On Standby

You can save the power consumption while the unit is turned off by erasing the clock display.

To save the power consumption while on standby, press DISPLAY on the remote control while the unit is turned off (on standby—while the STANDBY/ON lamp lights red).

• Power consumption during standby is reduced (see

To cancel the power consumption saving mode, press DISPLAY again while the unit is turned off (on standby).

Selecting the Sources and Starting Play

To select 3-CD Changer as the source, press CD 3 / 8. The unit automatically turns on. (Play starts if a CD is on the last selected disc tray.) To stop play, press 7.

• For more detailed operations, see pages 23 to 28. To select CD Recorder as the source, press CDR 3 / 8.

The unit automatically turns on. (Play starts if a disc is in CD Recorder.) To stop play, press 7.

• For more detailed operations, see pages 29 and 30.

To select the tuner and external component as the source, press SOURCE. The unit automatically turns on.

• Each time you press the button, the source changes as follows:

FM: To listen to an FM broadcast. AM: To listen to an AM (MW/LW) broadcast. LINE: To play back the external component connected

to the LINE IN jacks on the rear panel.

• For operating FM/AM (MW/LW), pages 17 to 22.

• For operating the external components, refer to its

manual.

To adjust the input level through the LINE IN jacks

If the sound from the component connected to the LINE IN jacks is too loud or is not loud enough when changing the source to “LINE” from another source (without adjusting the volume level), you can change the input level through the LINE IN jacks.

On the unit ONLY: When the source is “LINE,” press and hold SET (inside the sliding panel) repeatedly to select your desired level.

• Each time you press and hold the button, the input level changes—“LEVEL 1,” “LEVEL 2,” and “LEVEL 3.”

LEVEL 1: Normally select this. (Initial setting when

shipped from the factory.)

LEVEL 2: Select this when the sound is not loud

enough.

LEVEL 3: Select this when the sound is too loud.

When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure occurs

The power consumption saving mode (“DISPLAY OFF”) will be canceled.

Changing the Display Information

You can adjust the volume level only while the unit is turned on.

When using the remote control, press VOLUME + to increase the volume or press VOLUME – to decrease it.

When using the unit, turn VOLUME clockwise to increase the volume or counterclockwise to decrease it.

Ex.: When setting the volume level to “20”

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 the headphones.

If “CANNOT LISTEN” appears in the main display

During high-speed recording (see page 33), you cannot listen to any source, and therefore, cannot adjust the volume level.

For adjusting the recording level

Normally, the VOLUME control and VOLUME +/– buttons work to adjust the playback sound volume. If you want to adjust the recording level, see “To adjust the recording input level” on page 35.

DO NOT turn off (on standby) the unit with the volume set to an extremely high level; otherwise, the sudden blast of sound can damage your hearing, speakers and/or headphones when you turn on the unit or start playing any source. REMEMBER you cannot adjust the volume level while the unit is in standby mode.
