Introduction
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
Power sources
This manual is organized as follows:
• This manual mainly explains playback and editing
operations using the remote control, and the other
operation such as recording operations using the
buttons on the main unit.
You can use the buttons both on the remote control
and on the main 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 10 – 15.
• 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.
• 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 lenses 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
• The electronic swing panel may malfunction when you
use this unit under the strong light such as the sunlight.
DO NOT expose this unit to the strong light.
• 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.
Precautions
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.
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.

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 to an FM station which provides the RDS
service, “RDS” appears in the main display.
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.
Enhanced Other Networks:
Provides the information about the types of the
programs sent by other RDS stations than the one
being received.
RDS operations are possible only using the remote
control. You must press and hold RDS CONTROL
while using the buttons printed in orange on the remote
control—PTY SEARCH, TA/News/Info, DISPLAY,
PTY SELECT + and PTY SELECT –.
More about RDS
• Not all FM stations provide RDS signals, nor do all RDS
stations provide the same services. 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.
