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

Power sources

This manual is organized as follows:

• This manual mainly explains playback using the
remote control, and the other operations such as
recording operations using the buttons on the unit.
You can use the buttons both on the remote control
and on the unit for the same operations if they have
the same or similar names (or marks), unless
mentioned otherwise.

• 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 “Basic and
Common Operations” on pages 10 – 13.

• The following marks are used in this manual:

Gives you warning and caution to prevent
from damage or risk of fire/electric shock.
Furthermore, 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.

• When unplugging the unit 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, then plug it in
again.

Others

• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit,
unplug the AC power cord 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.

DO NOT disassemble the unit since there are no
user serviceable parts inside.

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 buildup 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.

If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and
consult your dealer.
