PRECAUTIONS SETTING UP

Installation

• Select the best location

Select a level location to install this component, 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 in receiving AM broadcast by a tuner/receiver located nearby, relocate it or this component, or turn off either one.

• Moving the unit

Before moving the unit, first remove all the discs. Turn the po wer 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 the audio compact discs identified by the logo shown below can be used with this component.

Operation

• Keep the disc storage free of obstacles

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 wall socket 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 none of background noise unlike analog records and tapes. Find out the right setting starting with a low level setting. Setting the level too high and starting a CD could damage the speakers.

• Protect the component against condensation

Condensation on the component could disrupt the proper transmission of the disc-reading laser beam, causing noise or malfunction. If condensation ever ensues due to excessive humidity or sudden temperature change, leave the component turned on for a couple of hours to dry up — consult your JVC dealer if this does not correct the condition.

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. First connect the OUTPUT ports in the back of this unit with the CD or AUX input ports of the amplifier/receiver using the accessory audio cord. Be sure to insert the audio cord jacks firmly into the proper ports matching the output and input channels — RIGHT to RIGHT and LEFT to LEFT.

2. If you are connecting the unit to a JVC audio component and using the CompuLink-3 remote control system, connect the units with the accessory CompuLink cord. Either one of the COMPULINK-3 (SYNCHRO) ports in the back of this unit can be used.

When you use the system, you can remote-control this CD unit from the connected JVC amplifier/receiver. (See Page 11 for more information.)

NOTE: JVC components equipped with two COMPULINK-3

Installing batteries in the remote control

1. There is a cover for the battery compartment on the back of the remote control. Press the cover down and slide it downward to remove it.

2. Set the two accessory batteries (1.5V, R6P, AA) in the compartment with their polarities in proper positions.

3. Place the cover over the compartment, press it down, and slide it upward so that it firmly covers the compartment.

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 is dependent on the use of the remote control (it is shortened in 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 component).

CAUTION

• Be sure to replace them with the correct batteries (1.5V,

R6P, AA).

• Do not use new and old batteries in combination.

COMPULINK-3 REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM

The CompuLink system, which is a JVC-developed remote control system, links JVC audio components to establish systematized operation control of the linked components.

NOTE: There are three versions of the CompuLink system:

CompuLink-1, -2, and -3. Although they are basically compatible, some functions may not be available with the older versions (refer to the instructions manual of the component for the information).

The CompuLink-3 Remote Control System provides the following functions:

Automatic power on/off

Turning a linked component on or off will automatically turn the amplifier/receiver on or off. Selecting a source on the amplifier/receiver will turn on the relevant component.

CAUTION

• Be sure to use the accessory CompuLink cable for the connection.

• The operation may be disrupted if the power supply to a component is interrupted, in which case turn off all linked components and turn them on again.

Automatic source selection

Selecting a source on the connected amplifier/receiver will automatically turn on the relevant component and start its operation. Starting a linked component will automatically select the relevant source on the amplifier/receiver.

Synchronized recording

This function is effective when a JVC cassette deck is linked in the CompuLink system, allowing simple, synchronized recording.

NOTE: Refer to the instruction manual of your cassette deck

for the detail of the synchronized recording. Some functions are disabled in order to prevent the recording trouble during the synchronized recording.

HANDING AND TAKING

SPECIFICATIONS &

CARE OF DISCS

Handling compact discs

Protect the disc from being scratched, warped, or damaged in any other way — the plastic disc can easily be damaged and the damaged disc disrupts sound reproduction and the player function.

Keep every disc in its case

Be sure to keep every disc in its case whenever it is taken out of the player. Placing one disc upon another without putting them in their cases will damage their recorded tracks.

Keep the label side clean

Do not attempt to put adhesive tape or paper nor write anything even on the label side of a disc.

Cleaning compact discs

If the underside of a disc is soiled with fingerprints, etc., use a piece of soft, dry cloth and wipe clean the surface from the inside to the outside in straight strokes. If that does not clean the surface, try with a piece of soft cloth moistened with water.

Never use alcohol, record cleaners, or anti-static agents.
