Thank you for purchasing the JVC Compact Component System. We hope it will be a valued addition to your home, giving you years of enjoyment. Be sure to read this instruction manual carefully before operating your new stereo system. Here you will find all the information you need to set up and use the system. For questions that are not be answered in the manual, contact your dealer.

Features

Easy operation

Great sound

Triple Tray

Three timers

Here are some of the things that make your System powerful and easy to use.

The controls and operations have been designed to make them very easy to use, so you can spend your time listening to music.

• With the One Touch Operation feature of JVC’s COMPU PLAY you can turn on the System and

start the radio, the Cassette Deck, or the CD Player with a single touch.

To get such great sound from such a compact package the System has:

• Built-in Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby 3ch Logic effects. Combined with the optional center

and rear speakers, this allows you to enjoy the dynamic, pulsating sound effects of a cinema.

• Programed sound mode includes live surround effects D. CLUB, HALL, and STADIUM. It also includes S.E.A (Sound Effect Amplifier) effects ROCK, POP, and CLASSIC. You can also register up to three customized settings (MANUAL 1 to 3).

CD changer function can operate 3 discs.

• Discs can be changed during play using the TRIPLE TRA Y.

• Continuous, random or program play of 3 discs.

The three timers, Daily Timer, Recording Timer, and Sleep Timer are extremely easy to set.

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.

IMPORTANT CAUTIONS

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:

Reinforcing the Bass Sound

S.A. (Signal Adaptive) BASS adjusts low tones at low volume to enhance their effect. When the volume level is low, this enhances low tones that are normally difficult to hear and adjusts low tones to a fixed level to reduce low tone distortion.

Press S.A. BASS.

Pressing S.A. (Signal Adaptive) BASS changes the bass setting in the following order. = SA-BASS1 = SA-BASS2 = OFF = (back to the beginning)

SA-BASS2 enhances low tones more than SA-BASS1.

To cancel the effect, press S.A. BASS until “OFF” appears on the display. The button light goes out.

To recall the previous S.A. BASS mode, press S.A. BASS once.

When listening to recording with low volume low tones, the difference between SA-BASS1 and SABASS2 is clear. When listening to recording with louder low tones, however, the difference between SA-BASS1 and SA-BASS2 may not be so clear.

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. You can also create up to three of your own customized S.E.A. (Sound Effect Amplifier) settings and store them in the Unit’s memory (MANUAL 1, MANUAL 2, MANUAL 3).

The preset sound modes include modes using surround effects and modes using S.E.A. effects. Sound Mode effects cannot be recorded.

T o get an effect, press SOUND MODE repeatedly until the Sound Mode you want appears on the display .

SOUND

Dolby Surround 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.

The Dolby Surround has been also developed to reproduce the important elements of the acoustic surround at home. To watch the sound tracks of video software bearing the mark

which includes the same encoded surround information as found in Dolby Stereo film, the Unit can provide you with two Dolby Surround programs (Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby 3ch Logic).

Dolby Pro Logic: Select this mode when the optional rear speakers are connected. Dolby 3ch Logic: Select this mode when no rear speakers are connected.

You need to connect the optional center speaker and rear speakers to use the Dolby Surround functions.

Preparing the Dolby Surround

To use the Dolby Surround effects, you need to prepare the various settings. These settings are set using the Remote Control. The Dolby Surround settings are:

Center Speaker Mode

Center Speaker mode contains the following four settings.

PHANTOM: Select this setting if you have not connected a center speaker. The left and right front

speakers project the sound to give the effect of a center speaker. (PRO LOGIC only)

NORMAL: Select this setting if you are using a small center speaker. Since the center speaker

cannot boost the low tones effectively, this setting uses the front speakers to boost the low tones from the center speaker.

WIDE: Select this setting if you are using a center speaker that is similar in power to the front

speakers.

OFF: Select this setting to turn off the output for the center speaker.

Delay Time Mode

Delay Time mode contains the following four settings.

DELAY 1: Select this setting if the rear speakers are further away from your listening position

than the front speakers. (Delay time: 15 msec.)

DELAY 2: Select this setting if the rear speakers and front speakers are about the same distance

way from your listening position. (Delay time: 20 msec.)

DELAY 3: Select this setting if the rear speakers are nearer to your listening position than the

front speakers. (Delay time: 25 msec.)

DELAY 4: Select this setting if the rear speakers are very close to your listening position

compared to the front speakers. (Delay time: 30 msec.)

Adjusting the level of the Center Speaker

Adjust the level of the center speaker between +10 and –10. Set the level so that it is about the same as the level from the front speakers.

Adjusting the level of the Rear Speakers (for PRO LOGIC only)

Adjust the level of the rear speakers between +10 and –10. Set the level so that it is about the same as the level from the front speakers.

You cannot adjust the levels of the left and right rear speakers independently.

• 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

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

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 program and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic embodied therein.

When you want to record onto both sides of a tape, you can set Reverse mode on to do so. However, recording automatically stops after recording in the 2 direction in Reverse mode. Therefore, make sure that the tape direction is 3 when recording with Reverse mode on. 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 volume control. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level. 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. When recording, you can hear Sound Mode effects through the speakers or headphones. However, the sound is recorded without Sound Mode effects. 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 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 your 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 REVERSE MODE if you want to record on both sides of the tape.

Reverse Mode comes on.

• When using 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 7 STOP after pressing TAPE ™£ to set the tape direction.

Setting the Recording Timer

With the Recording Timer you can make a tape of a radio broadcast automatically whether or not you are home. For the timer to work correctly, you need to make sure of the following in addition to setting the time for the Tuner and Cassette Deck to come on:

You can set the Recording Timer whether the Unit is on or off. The tape you want to record onto must be in Deck B.

Procedure for Setting the Recording Timer

1. Press TIMER/CLOCK repeatedly until “REC” appears on the display.

The REC indicator flashes on the display.

• Each time you press the button, the timer setting indication changes as follows:

DAILY = ON TIME (flashes) = REC = ON TIME (flashes) = Clock setting = Canceled (current source) = (back to the beginning)

Note: If the clock has not been set, even if TIMER/CLOCK is pressed you cannot select the Recording Timer .

Before the timer starts

Check that tape direction is correct. This is important especially when Reverse Mode is off. Set Reverse Mode on if you want to record on both sides of the tape. The volume level is automatically set to 0 when Recording Timer starts.

It is very easy, and can be very disappointing, to forget to put in a tape, or to accidentally leave a tape in Deck B you don’t want recorded over. Although this happens to almost everyone at one time or another, we hope it won’t happen to you!

To change the Recording Timer setting

Repeat the setting procedure from the beginning.

Turning the Recording Timer On and Off —————————

Once the Recording Timer has been used, the setting is maintained but the Timer is set to off. To turn the Recording Timer off before the timer starts, press TIMER/CLOCK repeatedly until “REC” appears on the display, then press CANCEL/DEMO. “OFF” appears on the display and the REC indicator goes out. To record at the same time again, press TIMER/CLOCK repeatedly until “REC” appears on the display, then press SET. The on-time, off-time, and Recording band (“TUNER FM” or “TUNER AM”) appear on the display, and the REC indicator lights up.

CAUTION: If the Unit is unplugged, or a power failure occurs, the timer setting will be erased in a few days. If the settings are erased in this way, reset the timer settings.

Setting the Sleep Timer

Use the Sleep Timer to turn the Unit off after a certain number of minutes when it is playing. By setting this timer, you can fall asleep to music and know your Unit will turn off by itself rather than play all night.

You can only set the Sleep Timer when the Unit is on and a source is playing.

To set the SLEEP Timer, follow this procedure:

SLEEP

1. With the Unit on and a source playing, press SLEEP on the Remote Control.

“SLEEP” appears on the display.

2. Set the length of time you want the source to play before shutting off.

• Each time you press this button while the “SLEEP” indicator is flashing, it changes the number of

minutes shown on the display in this sequence:

= 10 = 20 = 30 = 60 = 90 = 120 = Canceled = (back to the beginning)

When the number of minutes you want shows on the display, just wait 5 seconds until the indicator stops flashing, and remains lit. The Unit is now set to turn off after the number of minutes you set.

To change the Sleep Timer setting

Press SLEEP until the number of minutes you want appears on the display.

To cancel the Sleep Timer setting

Press SLEEP until the SLEEP indicator goes out on the display. Turning off the Unit also cancels the Sleep Timer.

Timer Priority

Since each timer can be set independently, you may wonder what happens if the settings overlap. Here are the priorities for each timer:

The Recording Timer always has priority. This means that:

• If another timer is set to come on during a time when the Recording Timer is operating, the other

timer just will not come on at all, so you will always get the entire program on tape.

• If the Recording Timer is set to come on while another timer is operating, the other timer will shut

off 10 seconds before the Recording T imer is set to turn on, and the Recording Timer will then take

over. If the Sleep Timer is set while the Daily Timer is operating, the Sleep Timer will take over. However, if the Daily Timer is set to come while the Sleep Timer is operating, the Daily Timer will take over.
