Thank you for purchasing a JVC product.
Please read all instructions carefully before operation, to
ensure your complete understanding and to obtain the best
possible performance from the unit.
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 System in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent internal heat buildup.
DO NOT install the System in a location near
heat sources, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.
• Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.
• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference
with TV.
Power sources
• When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always
pull on the plug, not the AC power cord.
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet
hands.
Others
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the System,
unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before
operating any further.
DO NOT disassemble the System since there
are no user serviceable parts inside.
• If you are not going to operate the System for an extended
period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and
consult your dealer.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the System in
the following cases:
• After starting to heat the room
• In a damp room
• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm
place
Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case,
leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture
evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.
For safety, observe the following carefully:
• Make sure there is good ventilation around
the System. Poor ventilation could overheat
and damage the System.
• DO NOT block the ventilation openings or
holes. If they are blocked by a newspaper or
cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get
out.

What is DAB system?
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is one of the digital radio
broadcasting systems available today. It can deliver digital
quality sound without any annoying interference or signal
distortion. Furthermore, it can carry text, pictures and data.
In contrast to FM broadcast, where each program is
transmitted on its own frequency, DAB combines several
programs (called “services”) to form one “ensemble.”
“Primary services” (main radio stations) are sometimes
accompanied by “secondary services” to broadcast
additional programs.
Caution
Electrostatic discharge from your body may cause noise
from the speakers and you cannot hear the broadcast.
If this happens, turn off the System (on standby), then
turn it on again.
Listening to a Service
1 Select DAB.
• When you change the source to DAB for the first time
after plugging in the System, it automatically starts to
scan available ensembles (see the next page).
2 Select an ensemble.
• You can choose one of the ensembles found by the
ensemble scanning.
To choose from all ensembles, see “To select a service
from all ensembles” on the next page.

want to listen to.

(without the extension code) for files, and 30 for ID3/WMA
tag.
– It is recommended that you make each MP3/WMA file at a
sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps.
– This System can recognize a total of 999 tracks and 500
groups. Those exceeding the maximum number cannot be
recognized.
– Playback order of MP3/WMA tracks may be different from
the one you have intended while recording. If a folder does
not include MP3/WMA tracks, it is ignored.
• For playback of files in the USB mass storage class device...
