CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR

• Disconnect the system from AC power before cleaning the exterior of the unit with a soft dust cloth.

HANDLING CDS

• Do not touch the signal surfaces. Hold by the edges, or by one edge and the hole.

• Do not affix labels or adhesive tape to the label surfaces. Also, do not scratch or damage the label.

• Discs rotate at high speed inside the player. Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.

CLEANING CDS

• Dirty discs can cause poor sound quality. Always keep discs clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer perimeter.

• If a disc becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and then remove any water drops with a dry cloth.

• Do not use record cleaning sprays or antistatic agents on discs. Also, never clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents which may cause damage to the disc surface.

TAPE CARE

• Do not expose tapes to sunlight or store in hot places. High temperatures may warp the shell or damage the tape itself.

•Keep cassettes in their boxes when not in use.

• Cassette tapes can be erased by magnetic fields produced by magnets, electric motors, electrical transformers, and other devices. Keep tapes away from magnets and magnetic fields.

CLEANING THE TAPE HEADS

Iron oxide particles from the magnetic tape can build up on the parts that come in contact with the tape. These deposits can cause incomplete erasure, muffled playback sound, and might prevent automatic stop. To clean a cassette deck, open the compartment door, press PLAY and gently clean the heads, capstan, and pinch wheel with a head cleaner. Always unplug the power cord before cleaning, and allow 30 minutes drying time after using a liquid cleaner. Clean heads after every 25 hours of use.

• Demagnetize the head occasionally with a head demagnetizing cassette (available from many audio equipment stores).

•Never use any metal objects on or near the tape heads.

• Do not allow any cleaning material to fall into the tape assembly.

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

GETTING STARTED

POWERING UP

This CD portable system operates on battery or AC power.

BATTERY POWER

Insert six R20 (SUM-1)/D (13D)-sized batteries (not supplied) and you can take your system just about anywhere. Open the battery compartment door on the back of the unit by pressing down the two tabs and pulling out the cover. Insert batteries as marked on the back.

Important Battery Information

• If you are not going to use your system for a month or more, be sure to remove batteries because they can leak and cause damage.

• Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to federal, state, and local regulations.

• Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaking batteries can cause skin burns or other personal injury.

AC POWER

Plug the power supply cord into the Ó AC IN jack on the back of the unit, and into an AC power outlet.

CAUTIONS:

1. ONLY USE JVC POWER CORD PROVIDED WITH THIS UNIT TO AVOID MALFUNCTION OR DAMAGE

TO THE UNIT. REMOVE BATTERIES WHEN USING THE POWER CORD.

2. BE SURE TO UNPLUG THE POWER CORD FROM THE OUTLET WHEN GOING OUT OR WHEN THE

UNIT IS NOT IN USE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.

USING HEADPHONES

Connect commercially available headphones to the PHONES jack on the rear of the main unit. While the headphones are connected, the speakers do not produce any sound. Before connecting the headphones, make sure to turn down the sound volume.

ANTENNAS

The AM antenna is built in, so adjusting the position of the unit may help AM reception. The FM telescopic antenna on the back of the unit can be extended and rotated for better FM reception.

GENERAL CONTROLS

FUNCTION switch –Move the switch to select which part of this system you want to select – TUNER, TAPE or

CD.

VOLUME – Turn the volume knob to increase or decrease the volume to desired level. HBS –Press so that the HBS indicator lights. You can enjoy powerful bass sound with the Hyper-Bass Sound

effect.

POWER OFF – Move FUNCTION to OFF/TAPE with no cassette button pressed, to turn the unit off.

USING THE RADIO

TUNING IN RADIO STATIONS

Move FUNCTION to TUNER to turn the radio on.

• Set BAND to AM or FM.

•Tune in desired station by turning the TUNING knob.

•To turn off the radio, move FUNCTION to OFF/TAPE.

BEAT CUT/FM MODE SWITCH

• When recording an AM broadcast When recording an AM broadcast, beats may occur. If this happens, set the switch to “1” or “2.”

• Changing the FM reception mode When an FM stereo broadcast is hard to receive or noisy, set the switch to “MONO.” Reception improves. To restore the stereo effect, switch to “STEREO.”

USING THE TAPE

PAUSE – Press to interrupt tape play or record mode. Press a second time to resume tape play or tape record

mode.

STOP/EJECT – Press to stop the current tape activity, or to open the cassette compartment door when no

buttons are active.

FF – In stop mode, press to advance the tape toward the end. (When the tape reaches the end, press

STOP/EJECT to release the depressed button.)

REW – In stop mode, press to rewind the tape toward the beginning. (When the tape reaches the end, press

STOP/EJECT to release the depressed button.)

PLAY – Press to play cassettes. REC – Press to record from the radio or CD player.

PLAYING A CASSETTE TAPE

1. Move FUNCTION to OFF/TAPE.

2. Press STOP/EJECT to open the cassette compartment door.

3. Insert a cassette tape into the compartment with the exposed part of the tape facing up and the side you want

to play facing toward you.

4. Close the door securely.

5. Press REW or FF to move the tape to the desired starting point.

6. Press PLAY to begin playing the tape. The cassette tape plays until it reaches the end of the side, then it

automatically stops.

RECORDING ON CASSETTE TAPES

You can record from the radio or the CD player. For best recording, use normal bias tape.

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 work embodied therein.

ERASE PROTECTION

When you record new material, the cassette deck records over whatever is on a tape. To protect a tape from accidental erasure, break off one or both plastic tabs (one for each tape side) on the top of the cassette tape. If you decide later to record on the tape, seal the hole with a piece of cellophane tape.

WARNING

A little bit of slack in your tape can cause scratches on the tape, or worse yet, the tape could break. If you notice some slack in the tape, use a pencil to tighten it up before you insert it in the tape deck.

TIP

The use of tapes longer than 120 minutes is not recommended, since characteristic deterioration may occur and these tapes easily jam in the pinch-roller and the capstan.

RECORDING FROM THE RADIO

1. Insert a cassette tape into the tape deck and close the door.

2. Move FUNCTION to TUNER and select a radio station.

3. Press REC to begin recording. REC and PLAY lock down.

4. Press STOP/EJECT to end recording.

5. To turn off the radio, slide FUNCTION to

OFF/TAPE.

RADIO RECORDING TIP

•To temporarily pause the recording, press PAUSE on the cassette deck. Press PAUSE again to resume recording.

SYNCHRONIZED RECORDING FROM A CD

1. Insert a cassette tape into the tape deck and close the door.

2. Move FUNCTION to CD.

3. Insert the CD you want to record into CD compartment.

5. Press REC to start recording.

Note that the tape continues to run when the CD finishes playing, or the CD continues to play when the tape reaches the end.

TIP

Using the PAUSE button on the cassette deck instead of the STOP/EJECT button to momentarily interrupt recording gives you a much cleaner sound recording.
