are within the tolerances shown in the chart
below. This is a chemical reaction type
battery—cooler temperatures impede chemical
reaction, while warmer temperatures can
prevent complete charging.
.... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure
to high temperatures will increase natural
discharge and shorten service life.
.... fully charge and then fully discharge the
battery every 6 months when storing the
battery pack over a long period of time.
.... remove from charger or power unit when not
in use, as some machines use current even
when switched off.
NOTES:

EN5
About moisture condensation...
● You have observed that pouring a cold liquid
into a glass will cause drops of water to form on
the glass’ outer surface. This same phenomenon
occurs on the HDD disk and/or the DVD pickup Lense when it is moved from a cool place to
a warm place, after heating a cold room, under
extremely humid conditions or in a place
directly subjected to the cool air from an air
conditioner.
● Moisture on the HDD disk and/or the DVD
pick-up Lense can cause severe damage, and
can lead to internal damage to the Mobile Mini
Note PC itself.
Serious malfunctioning
If malfunctioning occurs, stop using the unit
immediately and consult your local JVC dealer.
The Mobile Mini Note PC is a microcomputercontrolled device. External noise and
interference (from a TV, a radio, etc.) might
prevent it from functioning properly. In such
cases, first disconnect its power supply unit
(battery pack, AC Power Adapter, etc.) and wait
a few minutes and then re-connect it and
proceed as usual from the beginning.

JVC ORIGINAL SOFTWARE AND SYSTEM APPLICATIONS
CC Converter
This is a data-band expansion system JVC has developed for audio applications. It reproduces
the timbre of the original sound from high-quality and compressed music data as well.
The CC converter operates as a system filter so that it takes effect regardless of the playback
application.
To make the effect valid or invalid or to change the effect level:
1. Open a shortcut of (CC Converter) icon in the task tray (by clicking the right
mouse button).
About the expansion effect modes
(see next page for details)
About the intensity
(see next page for details)
2. When the menu above appears, click on the desired option.
Cautions
• If you have disabled the effect, the CC Converter icon is shown in monochrome color in the
task tray.
• The actual sound playback may slightly be delayed due to processing of playback data.
Explanation of menu options
• Enable
Makes the CC converter processing valid.
• Disable

EN 27
The following menu options are effective only when you have checked the “Enable”
option.
About the expansion effect modes
One of the following three effect modes can be selected.
Each has its own special characteristics as described below depending on the frequency band
pattern which is to be expanded.
• Harmonic Expansion
Expanding the harmonic components contained in music accentuates the lingering tones
and gives the sound an added brilliance. This mode is particularly suited to vocals and
music made by acoustic instruments. It can have an effect on almost all genres of music,
and it is the mode which is normally used.
• High tone Expansion
Expanding the high-tone components enhances the feeling of the sound’s resolution. It is
particularly suited to hard-sounding types of music made by electronic instruments. With
rock or pop music, you can enjoy a more lively sound.
• All range Expansion
This provides an expansion effect over all the range contained in the music. Since there is
no focus on a particular point to be expanded, the CC converter can have an effect with all
types of music.
About the intensity
One of three menu options can be selected as the intensity level of the effect to be exerted by
the CC converter. It is recommended that you select the level of intensity that matches the size
of the speakers that will reproduce the sound, the performance of the headphones and type of
sound data (compressed or non-compressed).
• More presence
The CC converter functions to have the maximum effect.
The “More presence” level is suited to playing back compressed music data through the
PC’s built-in speakers or other small-sized speakers. With some types of music, the noise
may be accentuated in which case the “Standard” or “More natural” option should be
selected.
• Standard
With the “Standard” level, the CC converter exerts an effect which is suited to listening to
compressed music data through headphones or mini audio components. This is the setting
which is normally used.
• More natural
The CC converter functions to reproduce the original sound with the highest possible fidelity.
The “More natural” level is suited to listening to non-compressed high-quality data through
large-sized speakers.
Set to this mode if the level of noise is so high that it interferes with your listening pleasure
while using headphones

• Exit
Quits the CC converter. The CC converter status you have set at this point is held. If you
wish to restart the CC converter, you can start up the program from the Start menu.
*To change the CC converter setting and save the new status, you must click [Exit]. To restart
the CC converter, click [Start] [ [All Programs] [ [CC Converter] [ [CC Converter].
Tips
•Do not change the sound playback device when you are playing back the sound data (such
as an audio file).
• If you have changed the sound playback device, wait five (5) or more seconds before
playing back the data.
• The CC converter can process two-channel PCM data only. There are cases where the
DVD sound is to be output to an external sound source or where multi-channel data or
data in a non-PCM format is to be sent by a sound device: in these cases, the CC converter
cannot process the data.
• If you play back data having a high noise level, the noise may be emphasized.
• Users other than the computer administrator (even if they have the Administrator’s authority)
may not change the CC converter setup.
