SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment,
care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.

✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮

Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.

Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment)
are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or
changing connections.

Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.

Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.

✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮

DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way — switch
off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.

DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.

DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation
or has a standby mode.
Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this.

Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.

DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffic safety. It is
illegal to watch television whilst driving.

DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing.

DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.

Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.

DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s
approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.

DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.

ABOVE ALL

— NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case — this could result

in a fatal electrical shock.

— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than sorry!

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.
You need to point the Remote Control at the remote sensor on the System’s front panel within 7 m or another remote sensor on the System’s

rear panel within 1 m. When remote controlling this Unit while carrying it piggyback, point the Remote Control to the remote sensor on the
rear panel.

Notes:

• If you point the Remote Control from the slant direction, the above distance will be shortened.
When you use the Remote Control from a short distance while receiving broadcasting, noise may occur. However, this is not malfunction.

•

• The Remote Control of this Unit uses the infrared transmission system. As a result, Remote Control may be unavailable when the remote
sensors of the Unit are exposed to direct sunlight. Please note that this is not a malfunction.

• Be sure to use the specified car adaptor (JVC model CA-R120E) to prevent mishaps or damage resulting from different polarity design.

• For safety, stop the car before performing operations.

• Be sure to start the engine when you use the car adaptor, otherwise the car battery will be exhausted.

• During transport, stabilize the System in a box, etc.

• To prevent malfunctions, do not leave the System in a car for a long time.

Attaching the removed door

To prevent the unit from toppling down accidentally, the door has been designed to come off when it is pushed with a strong force from the
upper direction while it is open. When the door comes off in this way, attach it as shown in the figure.

Hook the claw around the projected part.

COMPU PLAY

JVC’s COMPU PLAY feature lets you control the most frequently used System functions with a single touch.
With One Touch Operation you can play a CD, a tape, or turn on the radio with a single press of the play button for that function. One Touch

Operation turns the power on for you, then starts the function you have specified. If the System is not ready (no CD in place, for example),
the System still powers on so you can insert a CD.

How One Touch Operation works in each case is explained in the section dealing with that function.
The COMPU PLAY buttons are:
