FEATURES
1 Portable system incorporating CD player
• CD functions can be operated with the remote
control unit as well as on the main unit.
• 8-cm CD playback capability
2 Digital LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) indicates
general playback status.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Prevention of Electric Shocks, Fire Hazards
and Damages
• Even when the STANDBY/ON button is set to
STANDBY, a very small current will flow. When the
unit is turned on, the display window lights up. When
the unit is in standby mode, the display window turns
off. (Note, however, that the display window does not
light even when the unit is turned on if the unit is
operated on batteries.) To save power and for safety
when not using the unit for an extended period of time,
disconnect the power cord from the household AC
outlet.
• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
• When unplugging from the wall outlet, always grasp
and pull the plug, not the power cord.
• Consult your nearest dealer when damage,
disconnection, or contact failure is found with the cord.
• Do not bend the cord sharply, or pull or twist it.
• Rating label is placed on the exterior of the rear of the
unit.
• Do not modify the power cord in any manner.
• Do not remove screws to disassemble the unit and do
not touch anything inside the unit to avoid accidents.
• Do not insert any metallic objects into the unit.
• Unplug the power cord when there is a possibility of
lightning.
• If water gets inside the unit, unplug the power cord
from the outlet and consult your dealer.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
Do not use this unit in direct sunlight or leave the unit
in a closed automobile (or yacht, etc.) where it would
be exposed to high temperatures above 40°C (104°F).
1 Avoid using the unit in the following places:
• Where the temperature may become excessively
high or low; the recommended temperature range
is 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F).
• Where it could be subject to vibrations.
• Where it is excessively humid, such as in a
bathroom.
• Where it could be magnetized by a magnet or
speaker.
2 Pay attention to dust.
Be sure to close the disc door so that the lens is not
contaminated by dust. Do not touch the lens.
3 Condensation
Condensation may occur in the following cases, in
which the unit may not operate correctly:
• The unit is in a room where a heater has just been
switched on.
• The unit is in a place where there is smoke or high
humidity.
• The unit has just moved from a cold place to a
warm room.
In these cases, set the STANDBY/ON button to ON
and wait one or two hours before use.
4 Volume control
Compact discs produce very little noise compared
with analog records. If you adjust the volume by
listening to the noise as you do with analog records,
the speakers could be damaged by a sudden blast of
sound when playback starts. Therefore, turn down
the volume before starting and adjust it as required
while playing a CD.
5 Safety mechanism
The unit incorporates a safety interlock mechanism
which switches off the laser beam when the disc door
is opened.
6 Do not place magnetic objects such as
cassette tapes near the speakers.
Since the speakers contain magnets inside, do not
place cassette tapes or magnetic cards nearby as
recorded data could be erased.
7 Keep the unit away from the TV.
When the unit is used near a TV, the TV picture could
be distorted. If this happens, move the unit away from
the TV. If this does not correct the situation, avoid
using the unit when the TV is turned on.
8 Cleaning the cabinet
If the cabinet gets dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
Never use benzine or thinner as these could damage
the surface finish.
9 When listening with headphones
• Do not listen at high volumes as it could damage
your hearing.
• For safety, do not drive while listening with
headphones.
10 Carrying handle
Do not raise or lower the carrying handle with the
telescopic antenna extended, to avoid damaging the
antenna. Position the carrying handle so that it does
not interfere with operation.

Operation on batteries
Loading batteries
1
Open the battery cover.
Pull the battery cover toward you while pressing the
sections marked by the arrows.
Checking batteries
When the tape speed or output sound level decreases, or
CD playback becomes intermittent, replace all batteries
with fresh ones.
When making an important recording, use new batteries
(preferably alkaline batteries for a longer service life) to
avoid any possible failure.
For better battery usage
• Continuous operation of the unit causes the battery
power to be consumed more quickly than
noncontinuous operation.
• Operation of the unit in a cold place causes the battery
power to be consumed more quickly than in a warm
place.
CAUTIONS:
• When not using the unit for a long time (more than
two weeks) or when using the household AC, remove
the batteries to avoid a malfunction or damage to the
unit.
• When the JVC power cord provided with this unit is
connected, the power is automatically switched from
the batteries to the household AC even when the
batteries are loaded.
However, remove the batteries when using the power
cord.

CAUTIONS WHEN USING BATTERIES:
When batteries are used incorrectly, it may result in
the leakage of chemicals from the batteries or they
may explode. The following care should be taken:
• Check that the positive ª and negative ·
terminals of the batteries are positioned correctly
and load them as shown in the figure on the left.
• Do not mix new and old batteries together, or mix
different types of batteries.
• Do not try to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
• Remove the batteries when the unit is not to be used
for an extended period of time.
If chemicals from the batteries come in contact with
your skin, wash them off immediately with water. If
chemicals leak onto the unit, clean the unit
completely.

approximately 7 meters. When the operating range
decreases or remote control operation becomes unstable,
replace the batteries with new ones.
Notes on using the remote control
unit
• Point the top of the remote control unit toward the
remote sensor section of the unit as directly as possible.
The operable distance from the main unit decreases if
you point the remote control unit at an angle.
• Press the buttons gently and firmly.
• Do not expose the remote sensor section of the unit to
strong light (direct sunlight or artificial lighting) and
make sure that there are no obstacles between the
remote sensor section and the remote control unit.
