Important Safety Precautions
Connector
Metal sleeve
Prior to shipment from the factory, JVC products are strictly inspected to conform with the recognized product safety and electrical codes
of the countries in which they are to be sold. However, in order to maintain such compliance, it is equally important to implement the
following precautions when a set is being serviced.
Precautions during Servicing
1. Locations requiring special caution are denoted by labels and
inscriptions on the cabinet, chassis and certain parts of the
product. When performing service, be sure to read and comply with these and other cautionary notices appearing in the
operation and service manuals.
2. Parts identified by the
critical for safety.
Replace only with specified part numbers.
Note: Parts in this category also include those specified to com-
ply with X-ray emission standards for products using
cathode ray tubes and those specified for compliance
with various regulations regarding spurious radiation
emission.
3. Fuse replacement caution notice.
Caution for continued protection against fire hazard.
Replace only with same type and rated fuse(s) as specified.
4. Use specified internal wiring. Note especially:
1) Wires covered with PVC tubing
2) Double insulated wires
3) High voltage leads
5. Use specified insulating materials for hazardous live parts.
Note especially:
1) Insulation Tape 3) Spacers 5) Barrier
2) PVC tubing 4) Insulation sheets for transistors
6. When replacing AC primary side components (transformers,
power cords, noise blocking capacitors, etc.) wrap ends of
wires securely about the terminals before soldering.

12. Crimp type wire connector
In such cases as when replacing the power transformer in sets
where the connections between the power cord and power
transformer primary lead wires are performed using crimp type
connectors, if replacing the connectors is unavoidable, in order to prevent safety hazards, perform carefully and precisely
according to the following steps.
1) Connector part number : E03830-001
2) Required tool : Connector crimping tool of the proper type
which will not damage insulated parts.
3) Replacement procedure
(1) Remove the old connector by cutting the wires at a point
close to the connector.
Important : Do not reuse a connector (discard it).
cut close to connector
Fig.3
(2) Strip about 15 mm of the insulation from the ends of
the wires. If the wires are stranded, twist the strands to
avoid frayed conductors.

force in any direction will not loosen it.
Power cord
Fig.2
In regard to such products, the cathode ray tubes themselves,
the high voltage circuits, and related circuits are specified for
compliance with recognized codes pertaining to X-ray emission.
Consequently, when servicing these products, replace the cathode ray tubes and other parts with only the specified parts.
Under no circumstances attempt to modify these circuits.
Unauthorized modification can increase the high voltage value
and cause X-ray emission from the cathode ray tube.

1. PRECAUTIONS
Installation and handling precautions
(1) Opening the transport lock
• Make sure that the transport lock is released and all transport protective materials are removed before turning on the
power. Failure to do so will result in equipment malfunction.
(2) Location of installation
• Do not install the equipment near a source of vibration such
as motor, engine or loudspeaker. They may adversely affect
the equipment performance.
• If the equipment is to have a fixed installation, we advise
you to give sufficient allowance for space so that extension
and replacement of optional units and other operations such
as replacement and maintenance can be easily performed.
For details, please consult your dealer or nearest JVC-authorized service agent.
(3) Condensation
• If the equipment which has been left in a cold room for a
long period of time and is moved to a warm room or if the
temperature of the room suddenly increases, condensation
may occur on a mobile part, optical pickup or a disc inside
the equipment with a disabling effect. If this occurs, do not
use the equipment for a few hours before starting it again.
(4) Interference with reception of other devices
• When this equipment is used near a radio receiver such as
a radio, television or BS tuner, reception of radio waves on
these devices may experience interference.
(5) Use in a strong radio wave environment
The equipment may not function properly if it is used in a
strong radio wave environment, for example near an illegal
radio station or a broadcasting station. If this happens, please
consult your dealer or nearest JVC-authorized service agent.
(6) Compatible media
Media compatible with the MC-8100U varies depending on
the drive in which it is accommodated. For details, refer to
the instruction manual of the relevant drive.
(7) Installation environment
• This equipment has been designed with consideration for
dust protection, but its structure is not dust-proof. Therefore, if it is used in an environment where cigarette smoke
and/or dust are present, the lens of the drive or a disc will
become dirty and stop functioning correctly. Using the equipment in these conditions should be avoided. If, however, you
have to use it in a dusty environment, make sure to carry
out ‘maintenance & regular inspection’ at an earlier interval.
• If the equipment is used outside of the suitable temperature
and humidity range, the drive life may become greatly shortened. Please make sure to use the equipment in an appropriate environment.
(8) Backup
• JVC cannot accept responsibility for any loss of data and/or
any other direct and indirect damage caused by the use or
malfunctioning of this equipment. We therefore strongly advise that all important data should be fully backed up in case
of unexpected loss.
• When this equipment is used with a system which runs continually for 24 hours or which cannot be turned off at all, we
recommend a redundancy design such as [a] back-up system on the system.
(9) Never take the equipment apart.
• Fire and electric shock may result. Do not try to take apart
or modify this equipment or the drive units inside.
(10) Cleaning
• Do not use solvents (paint thinner, benzene, etc.), cleaning
products containing abrasives, anti-static agent, cloth soaked
in detergent and silicon cloth. They can cause discoloration.
• Wipe-clean using a well-squeezed cloth which has been
soaked in a neutral detergent.
ENGLISH
Disc handling precautions
A disc is made of plastic material which can be easily damaged. If the discs are damaged or become dirty, it may lead to
malfunction such as incorrect data readout. To prevent this handle the discs with care so that they will stay free of damage,
stain, dust/dirt adhesion, warping, etc.
(1) Do not touch the reflective surface (data surface) of a
disc directly with your hand. Be sure to use special care
when handling double-sided discs.
(2) Use commercially available cleaning kits such as a CD
cleaner to remove dust and/or dirt from the disc surface.
• Gently wipe-clean the disc surface without scratching it.
(Make sure to wipe from the centre of the disc towards the
outer edge. Never use a circular motion.)
• Always wipe from the centre to the outer edge.
(3) Do not use chemicals for disc cleaning.
• Never use any solvents other than those included in the
cleaning kits.
• Never use analogue record cleaning fluid, benzene, alcohol
or anti-static agent.
(4) Do not damage the label surface
• Damage to the label surface also affects the data surface
immediately underneath it.
• Do not attach pieces of paper or adhesive tape to either
side of the disc.
• When you need to write on the label surface, please use a
permanent ink felt-tip pen.
Writing implements with hard tips such as ball-point pens
and pencils should not be used as they will damage the
surface.
(5) Periodical cleaning of the discs is recommended.
• Periodical disc cleaning may be required depending on the
equipment installation environment and disc handling
method.
* Always from the centre to outer edge

The internal layout of the magazine and the numbers assigned to the magazines, trays and discs are as shown below.
Magazine number...... This is the number assigned to each of the 2 sets of magazines. The error message displayed
when a magazine is inserted incompletely refers to the magazine number.(AP.24)
Tray number............... This is the 2-digit number assigned to each of the 50 trays in each magazine. The combination of
a tray number and magazine number corresponds to a disc number. For example, disc number
070 can also be represented as the disc in tray number 20 of magazine number 2. In this way, the
disc can be located in the 20th slot from the bottom of magazine 2.
Disc number .............. This is the 3-digit number assigned serially to every disc in all magazines and trays, starting from
disc number 001 in tray 01 of magazine 1 up to disc number 100. The error messages usually refer
