Precautions on CD Playback

This unit has been designed to playback discs bearing the following logos:

CD ReWritable (CD-RW)

CD Recordable (CD-R)

Audio CD

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 playback your original CD-Rs or CD-RWs

recorded in music CD format. (However, they may not be played back depending on their characteristics or recording conditions.)

• 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 disc tray closed when not in use.

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

Precautions on VCD Playback

Continued

This unit has been designed to playback discs bearing the following logos:

When playing a Video CD

You can play video CDs (with or without the Playback Control (PBC) function) to watch the picture on your TV while listening to the sound through your JVC Micro Component System.

Before playing video CDs

Make sure that the connection between the System and your TV is correct. (See page 9)

Setting the TV System

To view a picture of video CDs, it is required that you set your CD player’s TV output mode according to your TV’s color system.

Before You Start Recording

• It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright owner.

• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME control. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.

• While recording, you can hear sound mode effect and/or the Active Hyper Bass PRO effect through the speakers or headphones. However, the sound is recorded without these effects (see page 12.)

• While recording, the display lights red.

• If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static, the unit may be too close to a TV. Place the unit away from the TV.

• You can use type I tape for recording.

English

To protect your recordings

Cassettes have two small tabs on the back to protect unexpected erasure or recording. To protect your recording, remove these tabs. To re-record on a protected tape, cover the holes with adhesive tape.

Adhesive tape

The use of the C-120 or thinner tape is not recommended, since characteristic deterioration may occur and this tape easily jams in the pinch rollers and the capstans.

To keep the best recording and playback sound quality

You need to clean the heads.

• Clean the heads after every 10 hours of use with a wet-type head cleaning tape (available at electronic and audio shops.) When the head becomes dirty, the following symptoms will occur: – Sound quality is reduced. – Sound level decreases. – Sound drops out.

• Do not play dirty or dusty tapes.

• Do not touch the highly-polished head with any metalic or magnetic tools.

To demagnetize the head

Turn off the unit, and use a head demagnetizer (available at electronic and audio shops.)

– 36 –

There is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto. Thus,

At the start and end of cassette tapes

when recording CDs or radio broadcasts, wind the leader tape first to ensure that the recording will be made without any music part lost.

Possible Cause

Connections are incorrect or loose.

Electric interference from the CD player built in the unit may be considered as a cause.

• The path between the remote control and the remote sensor on the unit is blocked.

• The batteries have lost their charge.

• You are using the remote control far from the unit.

• The antenna is not connected correctly.

• The AM loop antenna is too close to the unit.

• The FM antenna is not properly extended and positioned.

The AC power cord is not plugged in.

The CD is upside down. The CD is dirty or scratched. Small tabs on the back of the cassette are removed. The built-in microprocessor has malfunctioned due

to external electrical interference. You are trying to play back a CD which cannot be

played or there is a problem with the CD. The CD tray does not open correctly because of the

obstruction. You are trying to play back a CD-R/RW which has

not been “finalized” yet.

Action

Check all connections and make corrections. (See pages 7 – 9.)

Change the playback source from "CD" to another, or replace the TV and this unit away from each other.

• Remove the obstruction.

• Replace the batteries. (See page 6.)

• Signals cannot reach the remote sensor. Move closer to the unit.

• Reconnect the antenna securely.

• Change the position and direction of the AM loop antenna.

• Extend FM antenna to the best reception position.

Plug it in the AC power plug.

Put the CD in with the label side up. Clean or replace the CD. (See page 44.) Cover the holes with adhesive tape. Unplug the unit then plug it back in.

Change the CD.

Press CD open/close 0 to close the CD tray, then remove the obstruction.

This is not a malfunction. You can play back “finalized” CD-R/RWs.
