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:

Turning the Power On and Off
Turning the System On ——————————————————
Press the POWER button.
The display comes on and the STANDBY indicator goes out. The System comes on ready to continue in the mode it was in when the power was last turned off. o If the last thing you were doing was listening to a tape in Deck B, you are now ready to listen to a
tape again in Deck B, or you can change to another source.
o If you were listening to the Tuner last, the Tuner comes on playing the station it was last set to.
Turning the System Off ——————————————————
Press the POWER button again.
The STANDBY indicator lights up and the display is blank, except for the clock display. o Some power (9 watts) is always consumed even though power is turned off (called Standby Mode). o To switch off the Unit completely, unplug the AC power cord from the AC outlet. When you unplug
the AC power cord, the clock will be reset to AM12:00 immediately, and preset Tuner stations will be erased in a few days.

VOLUME
Adjusting the Volume
Turn the VOLUME control clockwise to increase the volume or anticlockwise to decrease it. Turning the VOLUME control quickly also adjusts the volume level quickly. When using the Remote Control, press the VOLUME + button to increase the volume or press the VOLUME – button to decrease it. You can adjust the volume level between 0 and 50.
CAUTION: The Volume cannot be adjusted while the Unit is in STANDBY mode. DO NOT turn on the Unit and/or start playing any source without setting the VOLUME control to 0; otherwise, the sudden blast of sound can damage your hearing, speakers and/or headphones.
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 headphones.
Reinforcing the Bass Sound
The richness and fullness of the bass sound is maintained regardless of how low you set the volume. You can use this effect only for playback.

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:
S.MODE

To cancel an effect, press the SOUND MODE button until “FLAT” appears on the display. The frame around the S. MODE indicator goes out.
