How This Manual Is Organized

In this manual we have incorporated some special features:

• Basic information that is the same for many different functions is grouped in one place, and not repeated in each procedure. For instance, in the section on playing a CD, we do not repeat the information about setting the volume and the sound conditions, which are discussed in the Common Operations section.

• Name of buttons and controls are written in all capital letters like this: SOUND MODE.

The manual has a table of contents to help you quickly look up what you want to know. We’ve enjoyed making this manual for you, and hope you will use it to enjoy the sound and many features built into your System.

COMPU PLAY

COMPU PLAY is JVC’s feature that lets you control the most frequently used functions of the System with a single touch. One Touch Operation starts playing a CD, turns on the radio, plays a tape, etc. with a single press of the play button for that function. What One Touch Operation does for you is to turn the power on, then start the function you have specified. If the Unit is not ready, such as no CD or tape in place, the Unit still powers on so you can insert a CD or tape. How One Touch Operation works in each case is explained in the section dealing with that function. The COMPU PLAY buttons are:

Sound Modes

The System has some preset sound effects that give you control of the way your music sounds, so you can tailor it for your room and for the quality of the source. We can give you some idea of how each one affects the music, but the only way to really tell is to try them yourself. o The preset sound modes include modes using surround effects and modes using S.E.A. effects. o Sound Mode effects cannot be recorded.

Surround effect modes

D. CLUB (Dance Club) Increases resonance and bass. HALL Adds depth and brilliance to the sound, like in a concert hall. STADIUM Adds clarity and spreads the sound, like in an outdoor stadium.

S.E.A. effect modes

ROCK Boosts low and high frequencies. CLASSIC Set for wide and dynamic sound stereo systems. POP Good for vocal music.

To get an effect, press the SOUND MODE button repeatedly until the Sound Mode you want appears

on the display. The frame around the S.MODE indicator lights up. Each time you press the SOUND MODE button, the display changes as follows:

: Tape Direction indicator : DECK A, B indicator

When the System is being used, the display shows other items as well. However, we have only shown the items described in this section.

: Reverse Mode indicator

The Cassette Deck allows you to play, record and dub audio tapes. o With Automatic Tape Detection, you can listen to Type I or II tapes without changing any settings.

The use of tapes longer than 120 minutes is not recommended, since characteristic deterioration may occur and these tapes easily jam in the pinch-rollers and the capstans.

One Touch Play ——————————————————————

By pressing the TAPE ™£ button (or the ™ or £ button on the Remote Control), the Unit will turn on, “TAPE” appears on the display, and if a tape is in the deck, it will start to play. If no tape is loaded, the Unit will turn on and wait for you to insert a tape, or select another function.

Regular Play

When the power is already on, you can use this basic procedure:

1. Press the 0 button for the deck you want to use.

2. When the cassette holder opens, put a cassette in, with the exposed part of the tape down, toward the base of the System.

• If the cassette holder does not open, turn the power off, then back on and press the 0 button again.

3. Close the holder gently.

When both Deck A and Deck B contain a tape, the last deck to have a tape inserted is selected. To change the selected deck, press the DECK A/B button. When using the Remote Control, press the A or B button.

4. Press the TAPE ™£ button (or ™ or £ button on the Remote Control).

On the Unit: The tape play starts toward the direction currently selected. On the Remote Control: The tape play starts toward the same direction as the button is pressed for .

• The Cassette Deck automatically stops when one side of a tape has finished playing.

To stop playing, press the 7 STOP button on the Unit (or the 7 button on the Remote Control). To remove the tape, stop the tape, and press the 0 button. To change deck while playing a tape, press the TAPE ™£ button after pressing the DECK A/B

button on the Unit or press the ™ or £ button after pressing the A or B button on the Remote Control.

Fast Left And Fast Right——————————————————

o While the tape is stopped, press the 4/1 P. DOWN on the MULTI CONTROL (or 1 button on

the Remote Control) and the tape will wind rapidly to the left side of the cassette without playing.

o While the tape is stopped, press the ¢/¡ P. UP on the MULTI CONTROL (or ¡ button on the

Remote Control) and the tape will wind rapidly to the right side of the cassette without playing.

Note: Deck A and Deck B cannot be used for playback at the same time.

Music Scan

To find the beginning of a music track during play, use the Music Scan function. Music Scan searches for blank portions that usually separate selections, then plays the next selection.

Finding the Beginning of the Current Selection —————

Press the 4/1 P. DOWN or ¢/¡ P. UP on the MULTI CONTROL (or the 1 or ¡ button on the Remote Control) during play.

o Make sure that you press the 4/1 P. DOWN or ¢/¡ P. UP on the MULTI CONTROL (or the

1 or ¡ button on the Remote Control) in the opposite direction to that in which the tape is

playing. Searching stops at the beginning of the current selection, and the current selection starts automatically.

Finding the Beginning of the Next Selection ———————

Press the 4/1 P. DOWN or ¢/¡ P. UP on the MULTI CONTROL (or the 1 or ¡ button on the Remote Control) during play.

o Make sure that you press the 4/1 P. DOWN or ¢/¡ P. UP on the MULTI CONTROL (or the

1 or ¡ button on the Remote Control) in the same direction as that in which the tape is playing.

Searching stops at the beginning of the next selection, and the next selection starts automatically.

Music Scan works by detecting a 4-second long blank at the beginning of each selection, so it will not work well if your tape has:

• No blank at the beginning of a selection .

• Noise (often caused by much use or poor quality dubbing) which fills the blank with noise.

• Long, very soft passages or pauses in a selection. The scan will detect these as 4-second long

blanks. If this happens, just scan again until you reach the selection you want.

Reverse Mode

You can play both sides of a cassette, or play both the tapes in the two Cassette Decks continuously.

Press the REVERSE MODE button to switch to Reverse Mode.

Each time you press the button, the Reverse Mode changes as follows: =

= (auto reverse mode) = (auto reverse mode) = (back to the beginning)

: The Cassette Deck automatically stops after playing one side of the tape. : The Cassette Deck automatically stops after playing reverse (2) side of the tape being played (or

set to play).

: After playing both sides of the tape being played (or set to play), the Unit always checks to see if

a tape is in the other deck. If there is, it automatically starts playing that tape. This Continuous Play function works regardless of which deck starts first. The tapes are played continuously until the 7 STOP button on the Unit (or the 7 button on the Remote Control) is pressed.

Things to Know before You Start Recording ———————

o It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record 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.

o When you want to record onto both sides of a tape, you can set the auto reverse mode on to do so.

However, recording automatically stops after recording in the 2 direction in the auto reverse mode. Therefore, make sure that the tape direction is 3 when recording with the auto reverse mode on.

o The recording level, which is the volume at which the new tape is being made, is automatically set

correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME control on the System. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.

o Two small tabs on the back of the cassette tape, one for side A and one for side B, can be removed to

prevent accidental erasure or re-recording. To record on a cassette with the tabs removed, you must cover the holes with adhesive tape first. However, when a Type II tape is used, only cover part of the hole as shown, since the other part of the hole is used to detect the tape type.

o When recording, you can hear Sound Mode effects through the speakers or headphones. However, the

sound is recorded without Sound Mode effects.

o Type I and Type II tapes can be used for recording.

Note: At the start and end of cassette tapes, there is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto. Depending on the recording source, the first part of the recording may be missing because of the leader. When recording CDs or radio broadcasts, to get the beginning of the recording on the tape, first wind on the leader before beginning recording.

CAUTION: If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static, the Unit may be too close to a TV which was on during the recording. Either turn off the TV or increase the distance between the TV and the System.

Standard Recording

This is the basic method for recording any source. The System also has special ways for recording CD to tape, and tape to tape, which save you time and effort, as well as give you some special effects. However, when you need to add a selection to a tape you have made, or are combining selections from several sources on one tape, use the method described below; just substitute the source you want into this procedure, such as a CD or the Tuner. You can also record from auxiliary source with this procedure.

Using the Unit

1. Insert a blank or erasable tape into Deck B.

2. Press the REVERSE MODE button if you want to record on both sides of the tape.

Press the button until the “ ” or “ ” indicator is lit.

• When using the auto reverse mode, insert the tape so that it will be recorded in the forward (3)

direction.

3. Check the recording direction for the tape.

Check that the Tape Direction indicator is the same as that for the tape in the tape deck. If the directions are different, press the 7 STOP button after pressing the TAPE ™£ button to set the tape direction.

• When using the auto reverse mode to record both sides of a tape, check that the Tape Direction

indicator is in the forward (3) direction. If the direction indicator is not in the forward (3) direction, press the TAPE ™£ button then press the 7 STOP button.

REC PAUSE

4. Prepare the source, for example, by tuning in a radio station, loading CDs, or turning on connected equipment.

5. Press the REC START/STOP button.

The REC indicator lights up and the System begins recording.

Using the Remote Control

To stop at any time during the recording process, press the 7 STOP button.

Note: When making Sleep Timer settings while doing CD Direct recording, set the time so that there is

enough leeway to finish the recording before the power goes off. If the time is set to about the length of the CD, the power may go off before recording finishes.

For CD Direct Recording using more than one disc, use a blank tape, If you use a prerecorded tape, prerecorded material may not be erased between newly-recorded tracks.

Tape to Tape Recording (Dubbing)

Recording from one tape to another is called dubbing. You can dub tapes simply, with just a single button. o When dubbing tapes, make sure that the playback direction of Deck A and Deck B are the same. o When you record both sides of a tape, press the REVERSE MODE button to turn on the auto reverse
