Introduction

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
This manual is organized as follows:
The manual mainly explains operations using the
buttons and controls on the unit. You can also use the buttons on the remote control if they have the same or similar names (or marks) as those on the unit. If operation using the remote control is different from that using the unit, it is then explained.
• 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 “Common Operations” on pages 8 and 9.
• The following marks are used in this manual:
Gives you warnings and cautions to prevent a damage or risk of fire/electric shock. Also gives you information on operation which is not good for obtaining the best possible performance from the unit.
Gives you information and hints you had better know.
Power sources
• When unplugging 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, and then plug it in again.
Others
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit, unplug the unit 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.
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 built-up 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.
DO NOT disassemble the unit since there are no user serviceable parts inside.
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer.

Receiving FM Stations with RDS

RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular program signals. For example, the stations send their station names, as well as information about what type of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc. When tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS service, the RDS indicator lights up on the display. With the unit, you can receive the following types of RDS signals.
PS (Program Service):
Shows commonly known station names.
PTY (Program Type):
Shows types of broadcast programs.
RT (Radio Text):
Shows text messages the station sends.
More about RDS
Some FM stations do not provide RDS signals.
RDS services vary among FM RDS stations. For details on
RDS services in your area, check with local radio stations.
RDS may not work correctly if the received station is not transmitting the signals properly or if the signal strength is weak.
Changing the RDS Information
You can see RDS information on the display while listening to an FM station.

Recording

IMPORTANT:
It may be unlawful to record or playback 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 modes and/or the HBS sound effect through the speakers. However, the sound is recorded without these effects (see page 9).
If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static, the unit may be too close to a TV. Increase the distance between the TV and the unit.
Use only type I normal tapes for recording.
The use of tapes longer than 120 minutes is not
recommended, since characteristic deterioration may occur and these tapes easily jam in the pinchroller and the capstan.
To protect your recording
Cassettes have two small tabs on the back to prevent unexpected erasure or re-recording. To protect your recording, remove these tabs. To re-record on a protected tape, cover the holes with adhesive tape.
Recording Tapes
1 Load a recordable tape into the tape deck.
Insert a tape with the open side down and the side to be recorded facing out from the unit.
2 Press CD/RANDOM or
