Introduction

We would like to thank you for purchasing one of our JVC products.

Before operating this unit, read this manual carefully and thoroughly to

obtain the best possible performance from your unit, and retain this manual

for future reference.

About This Manual

This manual is organized as follows:

• The manual mainly explains operations using the

buttons and controls on the unit. You can also use the
buttons on the remote control if they have the same or
similar names (or marks) as those on the unit.
If operation using the remote control is different from
that using the unit, it is then explained.

• Basic and common information that is the same for many
functions is grouped in one place, and is not repeated in
each procedure. For instance, we do not repeat the
information about turning on/off the unit, setting the
volume, changing the sound effects, and others, which are
explained in the section “Common Operations” on pages 9
to 11.

• The following marks are used in this manual:

Gives you warnings and cautions to prevent
from damage or risk of fire/electric shock.
Also gives you information which is not good
for obtaining the best possible performance
from the unit.

Gives you information and hints you had better
know.

Power sources

• When unplugging from the wall outlet, always pull the
plug, not the AC power cord.

DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet
hands.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in the
following cases:

• After starting heating in the room

• In a damp room

• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm place

Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this case,
leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture
evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, and then plug it in
again.

Others

• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit,
unplug the unit and consult your dealer before operating
any further.

• If you are not going to operate the unit for an extended
period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall
outlet.

Precautions

Installation

• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor
too cold — between 5˚C (41˚F) and 35˚C (95˚F).

• Install the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent internal heat built-up in the unit.

• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.

• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference
with TV.

DO NOT install the unit in a location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust or vibration.

DO NOT disassemble the unit since there are no
user serviceable parts inside.

If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and
consult your dealer.

Playing Back CDs (CD/CD-R/CD-RW)

This unit has been designed to playback the following CDs:

• CD (Audio CD)

• CD-R (CD-Recordable)

• CD-RW (CD-ReWritable)

Continued use of irregular shape CDs
(heart-shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage
the System.

General Notes

In general, you will have the best performance by keeping
your CDs and the mechanism clean.

• Store CDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on
shelves.

• Keep the system’s disc trays closed when not in use.

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs
(CD-ReWritable) can be played back only if they are already
“finalized.”

• You can play back your original CD-Rs or CD-RWs
recorded in music CD format. (However, they may not be
played back depending on their characteristics or recording
conditions.)

• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their
instructions or cautions carefully.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this
unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain
on them, or the player’s lens is dirty.

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is caused
by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for
regular CDs.

Loading CDs

1

Press 0 for the disc tray
(CD1, CD2, and CD3) you
want to load a CD onto.

4

Repeat steps 1 to 3 to place other CDs.

When loading more than one CD continuously

When you press 0 for the next tray you want to place another CD

Recording

Continued

IMPORTANT:

• 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.

• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is
not affected by the VOLUME, the SUBWOOFER LEVEL,
and the SOUND MODE controls. Thus, during recording
you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to
without affecting the recording level.

• If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static,
the unit may be too close to a TV. Increase the distance
between the TV and the unit.

• You can use type I tape for recording.

To protect your recording

Cassettes have two small
tabs on the back to protect
from unexpected erasure or
re-recording.
To protect your recording,
remove these tabs.
To re-record on a protected tape, cover the holes with
adhesive tape.

To keep the best recording and playback sound quality

If the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers of the cassette decks
become dirty, the following will occur:

• Impaired sound quality

• Discontinuous sound

• Fading

• Incomplete erasure

• Difficulty in recording

To clean the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers

Use a cotton swab moistened with alcohol.

Then, when the off-time comes (“OFF” flashes just before the
off-time), the unit automatically turns off (on standby).
The Daily timer works everyday automatically.
If you do not want to use the Daily timer, turn off the Daily
timer. (See “To turn on or off Daily Timer after its setting is
done” on page 22.)

Maintenance

To get the best performance of the unit, keep your discs, tapes, and mechanism clean.

Handling discs

• Remove the disc from its case by
holding it at the edge while pressing the
center hole lightly.

• Do not touch the shiny surface of the
disc, or bend the disc.

• Put the disc back in its case after use to
prevent warping.

stretched, cut, or caught in the
cassette.

• Be careful not to touch the tape
surface.

• Avoid the following places to store the
tape:
— In dusty places
— In direct sunlight or heat
— In moist areas
— Near a magnet

DO NOT use any solvent — such as conventional
record cleaner, spray, thinner, or benzine — to
clean the disc.

Cleaning the unit

• Stains on the unit

Should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the unit is
heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water
diluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean
with a dry cloth.

• Since the unit may deteriorate in quality, become
damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about
the followings.

— DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth.
— DO NOT wipe it strong.
— DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.
— DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as
