Introduction

English

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 and 10.

• The following marks are used in this manual:

Gives you warnings and cautions to prevent from a 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.

Connecting Antennas

After unpacking, check to be sure that you have all the following items. The number in the parentheses indicates the quantity of the pieces supplied.

• AM loop antenna (1)

• FM antenna (1)

• Remote control (1)

• Batteries (2)

• AC plug adaptor (except for Argentina : 1)

If any is missing, consult your dealer immediately.

Putting the Batteries into the Remote Control

Insert the batteries — R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F) — into the remote control, by matching the polarity (+ and –) on the batteries with the + and – markings on the battery compartment. When the remote control can no longer operate the unit, replace both batteries at the same time.

FM antenna

FM antenna (supplied)

Outdoor FM antenna (not supplied)

10 mm (7/16 in. )

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

• DO NOT use an old battery together with a new one.

• DO NOT use different types of batteries together.

• DO NOT expose batteries to heat or flame.

• DO NOT leave the batteries in the battery compartment when you are not going to use the remote control for an extended period of time. Otherwise, it will be damaged from battery leakage.

20 mm (13/16 in.)

Extend the FM antenna (supplied) horizontally.

If reception is poor

Connect the outdoor antenna. Before attaching a 75-ohm coaxial cable (the kind with a round wire going to an outdoor antenna), disconnect the supplied FM antenna.

How to strip the 75-ohm coaxial cable and connect it to the FM terminals

1.Strip off the outside covering of the 75-ohm coaxial cable to expose the braided metallic mesh about 20 mm (13/16 inches).

2.Pull the mesh back and twist it into a single connector as shown in the illustration above.

3.Strip the insulation about 10 mm (7/16 inches) back from the central wire.

4.Insert the twisted mesh and the central wire to the FM terminals, as shown in the illustration above.

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

Music Scan works by detecting a 4-second long blank between each song, so it will not work well in the following cases

• No blank at the beginning of a song.

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

• Long, very soft passages or pauses in a song.

The use of the C-120 or thinner tape is not recommended, since characteristic deterioration may occur and this tape easily jams in the pinchrollers and the capstans.

Recording

IMPORTANT:

• It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright owner.

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

• While recording, you can hear sound modes and/or the Active Bass Extension effect through the speakers or headphones. However, the sound is recorded without these effects (see page 10).

• 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 and II tapes for recording.

To protect your recording

Cassettes have two small tabs on the back to protect 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. When using type II tape, be careful not to cover the holes used to detect the tape type.

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.

• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc when placing it back in its case.

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes, and moisture.

To clean the disc

Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.

Handling cassette tapes

English

• If the tape is loose in its cassette, take up the slack by inserting a pencil in one of the reels and rotating.

• If the tape is loose, it may get stretched, cut, or caught in the cassette.

• Be careful not to touch the tape surface.

Symptom

No sound is heard.

Hard to listen to broadcasts because of noise.

The disc sound is discontinuous. The disc tray does not open or close.

The disc does not play. The cassette holders cannot be opened.

Impossible to record.

Operations are disabled.

Unable to operate the unit from the remote control unit.

Connections are incorrect or loose.

• Antennas are disconnected.

• The AM loop antenna is too close to the unit.

• The FM antenna is not properly extended and positioned.

The disc is scratched or dirty.

The disc is placed upside down. Power supply from the AC power cord has

been cut off while the tape was running. Small tabs on the back of the cassette are

removed. The built-in microprocessor may

malfunction due to external electrical interference.

• The path between the remote control unit and the remote sensor on the unit is blocked.

• The batteries are exhausted.

Cause

Action

Check all connections and make corrections. (See pages 6 to 8.)

• Reconnect the antennas correctly and securely.

• Change the position and direction of the AM loop antenna.
