GENERAL INFORMATION
Care and handling of
compact discs
English
How to handle CDs
When handling a compact disc, do not touch the surface of the disc
(reflective silver side –– the side without the label).
Since compact discs are made of plastic, they are easily damaged. If
a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the sound will not be
picked up correctly and, in addition, such a disc may cause the CD
player to malfunction.
Care of the label side
Do not damage the label side, stick paper or use any adhesive on its
surface.
Storage
Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled one on
top of another without their protective cases, they can be damaged. Do
not put discs in a location where they may be exposed to direct sunlight,
or in a place where the humidity or temperature is high. Avoid leaving
discs in your car!
Maintenance of discs
If there are fingerprints or dirt adhering to a disc, wipe it with a soft dry
cloth, moving from the center outwards.
If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water.
Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-static agents.
Which compact discs can be used?
Many types of compact discs are sold for a variety of uses. The Video
CD Player can play the following compact discs:
• Video CD
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 (moving picture) reproduction, including multiplex sound.
• CD Graphics (CD-G)
for audio and video (still picture) reproduction,
including multiplex sound.
• Digital Audio CD
including single discs
for audio reproduction.
CDs you can't play back
Do not play back CD-ROMs, DVDs, or CD-is on this equipment. Doing
so may generate a noise which can damage your speakers.
Using the remote control
The remote control is ready to use when its batteries are installed
properly.
To use it, point its infrared light-emitting window toward the display
window of the player and press a button. The operating range of the
remote control is up to about seven meters in front of the player and
within about 30 degrees to each side –– with nothing between the
remote control and the player interrupting the beam path.
If pressing a button on the remote control does not produce any
response, check to make sure it is pointed correctly and try again. If it
still does not function, check the batteries.

CAUTION
Sometimes during play noise or images may be garbled. This is
sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to industry standards.)
These symptom are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of
the Player.
Page 1
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Basic connections
The Video CD Player must be connected directly to a television set or
an amplifier that is connected to a television or monitor. The television
set or the amplifier must have audio input jacks for right and left
channels and a video input jack.
Select a level, dry location free of dust and vibration, having a
temperature maintained between 5 and 35°C (41 and 95°F).
Connecting the player to a TV or amplifier
using the Audio Video cord
First connect the Audio Video cord — before connecting the AC power
cord.
Firmly insert the yellow pin plug of the Audio Video cord in the yellow
VIDEO OUT jack on the rear panel of the player; the red pin plug in the
red AUDIO OUT (RIGHT) jack; and the white pin plug in the white
AUDIO OUT (LEFT) jack. (The RIGHT and LEFT output jacks are for
the right and left audio channels.)
Then make sure that the television, amplifier or receiver is turned off,
disconnect the AC power cord, and firmly insert the pin plugs at the
other end of the Audio Video cord into the matching video and audio
INPUT jacks.

NTSC PAL AUTO
Notes
• When you play an NTSC disc in PAL AUTO mode on a PAL
exclusive TV, the image may be distorted.
If the signal doesn’t synchronize, change the mode to “PAL”.
• Select the mode before you play the disc. If you change the mode
during play, images may get distorted. In this situation stop the
player and reset the mode.
• When you play an NTSC disc in PAL AUTO mode on a Multi system
TV, the image may blink for a moment. This symptom is caused by
the Player detecting the formula of the disc, not by a malfunction of
the Player.
Connecting the power cord
IMPORTANT (not applicable for China)
Check the setting of the * LINE VOLTS switch on the rear panel of
the player.
Change the setting if the switch is not set for the main voltage
supplied to your home.
After the audio-video connectors had been connected, insert the
female end of the power cord firmly into the AC POWER CORD
socket located on the rear panel of the player. Then insert the male
end of the power cord into the wall outlet.
When the power cord is connected, the STANDBY indicator on the
left-hand side of the player’s front panel comes on. [See “overview
of Controls” for a description of the controls on the player.]

Presetting the remote control to operate
your own TV
You can use the Player’s remote control unit to control some functions
on your TV set (e.g., turning the TV on and off, adjusting volume, or
selecting channels). First, though, you must preset the remote control
to make it compatible with your TV.
Operation
1. Check the Preset Code Table (page 10) to determine the twodigit brand code number for your TV.
2. While holding down the TV/VIDEO/SPATIALIZER button on the
remote control, press the Number keys to insert the two-digit
brand code number. (For example, if the code number is "28",
press Number key 2, then 8. If the first digit is a "0", press 10.
Thus, if the code number is "09", press Number key 10, then 9.
If the code number is "10", press Number key 1, then 10. If it
is "20", press Number key 2, then 10.)
Notes
• Before the remote control unit leaves the factory, the brand code
number is set as No. 01 (JVC).
• Depending on your television set’s age and other factors, brand
code numbers may be different from those shown in the table. In
such a case, try out other codes until you find one that corresponds
to your television.
3. While still holding down the TV/VIDEO/SPATIALIZER button,
press the STOP button on the remote control.

RESTRICTING USE OF YOUR DISCS
Locking a disc with the
Read-Protect function
Locking a disc
The Read-Protect function restricts viewing of a disc. Only people who
know the code can unlock the disc. You can lock only Video CDs (up
to a maximum of 10 discs).
Notes
• When you lock a disc using the Read-Protect function, your Player
recognizes the number of tracks and the recorded time on that disc.
If you try to play another disc which has exactly the same number
of tracks and the same recorded time, the Player may mistakenly
assume that it is the locked disc.
• You cannot lock a disc while it is playing, or when the VCD light is
blinking (i.e., immediately after turning on the player or shutting a
disc tray). Stop the disc, then lock it.
• All Read-Protect functions are performed using buttons on the
Player, not on the remote control.
