Features

Here are some of the things that make your System both powerful and easy to use.

■ Types of CD you can play

Many types of compact discs are sold for a variety of uses. The Video CD Player can play the following compact discs.

• Video CD without Playback Control function: for audio and video (moving picture) reproduction, including multiplex sound.

• Video CD with Playback Control function: featuring menu-type operation and super-fine still pictures for audio and video (mov-

ing picture) reproduction, including multiplex sound.

• CD Graphics (CD-G): for audio and video (still picture) reproduction, including multiplex sound.

• Digital Audio CD, including single CDs: for audio reproduction CDs you cannot play: Do not play CD-ROMs on this System. Doing so may generate a noise which can damage your speakers.

■ JVC’s COMPU PLAY feature that, with a single touch, automatically starts playing the radio, Cassette Deck or CD

Player.

■ The System incorporates Active Hyper Bass PRO circuitry to faithfully reproduce low frequency sounds.

■ A 45-station preset capability (15 stations each for FM, AM and SW) in addition to auto-seek and manual tuning.

■ Versatile CD options include repeat, random and program play.

■ Timer functions; Daily Timer and Sleep Timer.

■ Auto-reverse tape function.

■ You can use audio CDs for Karaoke with the voice masking system. When you use video CDs or CD-Gs, you can replace the lead vocal on

your favourite songs with your own.

• Digital Echo applied to your voice through the microphone gives you a professional sound.

How This Manual Is Organized

• Basic information that is the same for many different functions - e.g. setting the volume - is given in the section ‘Basic Operations’, and

not repeated under each function.

• The names of buttons/controls and display messages are written in all capital letters: e.g. TUNER BAND, “NO DISC”.

• System functions are written with an initial capital letter only: e.g. Normal Play.

Use the table of contents to look up specific information you require. We’ve enjoyed making this manual for you, and hope it serves you in enjoying the many features built into your System.

IMPORTANT CAUTIONS

1. Installation of the System

■

• Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold. (Between 5°C and 35°C or 41°F and 95°F.)

• Do not place the System too close to a TV because this may cause interference to both products.

• Do not use the System where there may be vibrations.

2. Power cord

■

• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!

• Some power is always consumed as long as the power cord is connected to the wall outlet.

• When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the power cord.

3. Malfunctions, etc.

■

• There are no user serviceable parts inside. If there is a problem with your System, unplug the power cord and ask your dealer.

• Do not put any metallic objects or tools into the System.
