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 11.

• The following marks are used in this manual:

Gives you warnings and cautions to prevent 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 and 35˚C.

• 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 (1)

If any is missing, consult your dealer immediately.

Putting the Batteries into the Remote Control

Insert the batteries—UM-4/AAA/IEC R03—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)

Attach the FM antenna to the FM [75 Ω] coaxial terminal.

Extend the FM antenna.

Fasten it up in the position which gives you the best reception, then fix it on the wall, etc.

About the supplied FM antenna

The FM antenna supplied with this unit can be used as temporary measure. If reception is poor, you can connect an outdoor FM antenna.

To connect an outdoor FM antenna

Before connecting it, disconnect the supplied FM antenna.

Outdoor FM antenna

UM-4/AAA/IEC R03

(not supplied)

• 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.

This unit has been designed to playback the following CDs: Audio CD, CD-R, and CD-RW.

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD-ReWritable) can be played back when they are already

“finalized.”

• You can play back your original CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded in music CD format ONLY. (If CD-RWs have been recorded in different format, erase all the data on CD-RWs completely before re-recording on the discs.)

If you wish to load a third disc, press DISC CHANGE on the unit or DISC SKIP on the remote control.

The disc tray rotates by 120˚.

Press 0 again.

The carrousel closes.

DO NOT play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded the sound files such as MP3.

• 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 if the player’s lens is dirty.

Important notices:

• 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 unit’s carrousel closed when not in use.

• Continuous use of irregular shaped discs (heart-shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage the disc rotating mechanism.

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.
