PRECAUTIONS
Installation
•Select the best location
Select a level location to install this unit, where it is free from extremes of temperature (5 to 35°C, or 41 to 95°F) and humidity,
dust, or vibration.
If noise interference is caused when receiving AM broadcast by a tuner/receiver located nearby, relocate it or this unit, or turn off either one.
•Moving the unit
Before moving the unit, first remove all discs. Turn the power off, making sure the standby indicator is on. Then remove the AC power cord from the AC outlet.
Compact discs
• Use only compact digital audio discs
Only audio compact discs identified by the |
' |
||||
logo on the right can be played back with the |
|||||
|
|
|
|
||
unit. |
|
|
|
|
|
Also the unit can display the text information |
|
|
|
|
|
in CD text discs identified by the logo on the |

|
Operation
•Place only discs in the disc storage
Do not put anything other than discs in slots of the disc storage.
•Turn the power off if a problem occurs
If an unusual condition arises, turn the power off immediately. If the condition persists whenever the power is turned on, consult your JVC dealer.
•Do not pull the AC cord
Do not pull the cable when unplugging the AC cord from the AC outlet or this component — hold and pull the plug body.
•Set the sound volume carefully
Be careful in setting the sound volume on your amplifier/receiver when playing a CD, which has almost no background noise unlike analog records and tapes. Find the right setting by starting with a low level setting. Setting the level too high and then playing a CD could damage the speakers.
•Protect the unit against condensation
Condensation on the unit could disrupt the proper transmission of the disc-reading laser beam, causing noise or malfunction. If condensation occurs due to excessive humidity or sudden temperature change, leave the unit turned on for a couple of hours to dry — consult your JVC dealer if this does not correct the condition.
SETTING UP
Connecting the unit
This compact disc changer/player needs to be connected to an amplifier/receiver for audio reproduction.
CAUTION
Do not connect the AC power cord until all other necessary connections have been made.
1. Audio connection
Connect the analog (OUTPUT) ports on the back of this unit with the CD or AUX input ports of the amplifier/receiver using the supplied audio cords (red and white).

Installing batteries in the remote control
The battery compartment is located on the back of the remote control.
1. Press down on the triangular mark of the compartment cover, and pull up the cover to open the compartment.
2. Set the two supplied batteries R6P (SUM-3)/AA(15F) in the compartment with the correct polarities.
3. Place the cover over the compartment, and press down.
CAUTION
•Install the batteries with their polarities correctly set.
•Remove the batteries if the remote control is not going to be used for an extended period of time.
•Do not expose the remote control to heat, flame, or direct sunlight.
Replacing the batteries
The service life of batteries normally lasts for about one year though it depends on the use of the remote control (and is shorter at low temperatures, too). Replace the batteries any time if the controllable range is reduced (max. range: 7 meters or 23 feet and 30 degrees away from the unit).
CAUTION
•Be sure to replace them with the correct batteries (R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F)).
•Do not use a combination of new and old batteries.
