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, please contact your dealer.

Features

Easy Operation

Great Sound

T riple Tray

Video CD and CD-G

Sing Along

Here are some of the things that make your System powerful and easy to use.
o The controls and operations have been redesigned 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.

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

• Programmed sound mode includes live surround effects D. CLUB, HALL, and STADIUM. It also
includes S.E.A (Sound Effect Amplifier) effects ROCK, CLASSIC, and POP.

o CD changer function can operate 3 discs.

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

• Random or program play of 3 discs.

Includes a timer for recording broadcasts while you are out, and an easy-to-use Sleep Timer.
You can play Video CDs either with or without the PBC function as well as CD-Gs.

• When you play Video CDs with PBC function, you can enjoy MENU PLAY and HIGH-
RESOLUTION STILL PICTURES.

You can use conventional tapes and CDs for KARAOKE with the voice masking function. With an
optional microphone, you can replace the lead singer’s voice on your favorite songs with your own.

• DIGITAL ECHO applied to your voice through the microphone gives you a professional sound.

• You can adjust the key of the source by KEY CONTROL if it's not suite on you.

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.

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

• When we are talking about the Function, rather than the BUTTON or DISPLAY, only the first letter is
capitalized.

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.

To avoid damaging the System, set the voltage before plugging in the Unit.
o Set the correct voltage for your area with the VOLTAGE SELECTOR switch on the back panel of the

System. Use a screwdriver to rotate the selector so the number the dot mark is pointed at is the same
as the voltage.

How to Put Batteries in the Remote
Control

Match the polarity (+ and –) on the batteries with the + and – markings in the battery compartment.

R6S/R6P (SUM-3)/AA (15F)

CAUTION: Handle batteries properly.

To avoid battery leakage or explosion:

• Remove batteries when the Remote Control will not be used for a long time.

• When you need to replace the batteries, replace both batteries at the same time with new ones.

• Don’t use an old battery with a new one.

• Don’t use different types of batteries together.

Using the Remote Control

The Remote Control makes it easy to use many of the functions of the System from a distance of up to 7m

Refer to “Setting Video Output” below.

Setting Video Output

Press the NTSC/PAL/PAL AUTO button on the Unit repeatedly until playback picture appears correctly
on the TV screen.
Each time you press the button, video output changes as follows:

English

= PAL = PAL AUTO = NTSC = (back to the beginning)

PAL.................... for a PAL exclusive TV.

PAL AUTO* ....... for a Multisystem TV.

NTSC................. for an NTSC exclusive TV.

* PAL AUTO detects the formula of the disc (NTSC/PAL) automatically and views picture on the TV

screen correctly.

Notes:

• If you change video output setting during playback, picture may get distorted. In this case, stop
playback and set video output setting correctly.

• When you play an NTSC disc with PAL AUTO setting on a PAL exclusive TV, the picture may get
distorted. If this happens, set video output to PAL.

• When you play an NTSC disc with PAL AUTO setting on a Multisystem TV, the picture may blinks
for a moment. This symptom is caused by the Unit detecting the formula of the disc, not by a
malfunction of the Unit.

Now you can plug the AC power cord into the wall outlet, and your System is

at your command!

COMPU PLAY

English

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:
