Using the Unit with Optional Accessories Maintenance
Using the unit with an audio system
Using a stereo connection cable (not included), you can listen to
CDs through your audio system.
• Connect the cable to the amplifier after turning off its power.
• Do not connect the cable to the PHONO jacks on the amplifier.
• Obtain the optional connecting cable if the amplifier comes
with mini-phone jacks.
• Adjust the volume level on the amplifier.

Using the unit with a car audio
system
XL-PV300 comes with the car adaptor and car audio cassette
adaptor.
• Car adaptor (CA-R455)
• Car audio cassette adaptor (CA-RC4/CA-RC5)
For connection to the car audio system:
Connect the car audio cassette adaptor to the unit’s
headphone jack. (When doing this, keep the unit’s
VOLUME control at a setting between 4 and 6.)
If there is an Aux jack in the car audio system, connect the OUT
jack of the CD player with the Aux jack using a 3.5 mm diameter
stereo mini-plug signal cord (optional).
Depending on the automobile used, noise may occur, and in that case,
it is recommended that a KS-U32 noise filter (optional) be used.
Note:
It may not be possible to use the unit with some types of car stereo owing to restrictions imposed by the construction of the car
audio cassette adaptor.
For further details, refer to the instructions of the part concerned.
Maintaining the unit
Wipe the unit with a soft cloth. Remove stubborn dirt using a
cloth which has been dipped in water or soapy water and wrung
out, and then wipe dry.
• If you intend to use a chemically treated cleaning cloth, read its
directions first.
• Do not use alcohol or paint thinners.
Maintaining the lens
Open the lid and clean the lens as shown in the figure.
Use a cotton swab to gently wipe off any finger-prints.

Cautions
Rechargeable batteries
• Only the BN-R122 battery can be recharged.
• If the power delivered by the batteries lasts for a very short
time after recharging, it means that the batteries’ service life is
over. Do not use them any more.
• Recharging already charged batteries will shorten their service
life.
• When recharging batteries for the first time or when they have
not been used for a long period of time, the play time may be
shorter than usual. In a case like this, repeatedly recharge and
discharge the batteries. This will restore them to their regular
state.
• Do not allow any metal objects to touch the terminals of rechargeable batteries since this may cause short-circuiting
which is dangerous.
• Do not peel off the plastic covering on the rechargeable batteries. Short-circuiting may occur which is dangerous.
Dry cell batteries / rechargeable
batteries
To prevent damage to the batteries and electrolyte leakage, heed
the following points.
• Align the , and . polarities properly when inserting the batteries.
• Do not mix different types or makes of batteries or old and
new batteries.
• Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit for a
long period of time.
• Do not throw batteries into a fire, and do not short-circuit, disassemble or subject them to excessive heat.
• Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.

Before requesting service for this unit, check the chart below for a possible cause of the problem
you are experiencing. Some simple checks or a minor adjustment on your part may eliminate the
problem and restore proper operation.
If you are in doubt about some of the check points, or if the remedies indicated in the chart do not
solve the problem, refer to the directory of Authorized Service Centers (enclosed with this unit) to
locate a convenient service center, or consult your dealer for instructions.
Problem
Cannot close cover.
Cannot play discs.
Cannot remove disc.
Tracks on disc do not play
in order, starting with the
first track.
Cannot hear music—too
noisy.
TV picture is distorted.
Radio reception is noisy.
Carrying dry cell batteries /
rechargeable batteries around
When putting dry cell or rechargeable batteries in a pocket or
bag, ensure that no other metal objects such as a necklace are
placed together with them. Contact with metal may cause shortcircuiting which, in turn, may cause a fire.
Be absolutely sure to carry the rechargeable batteries in the battery carrying case.
When purchasing rechargeable
batteries
As a safety precaution, the portable CD players made by JVC
have a construction designed to make it impossible to recharge
ordinary batteries.
To use rechargeable batteries, be absolutely sure to purchase the
rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries designed especially for this unit.
Special rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries:
BN-R122 (set of 2)

Notice about the rechargeable battery
The battery is designated recyclable.
Please follow your local recycling regulations.
When driving a car
In the interest of traffic safety, do not operate the unit while driving.
Check this
Is the disc properly secured in place?
• Is the unit in HOLD status?
• Is the disc properly secured in place?
• Is there moisture condensation on the lens?
(Wait for about an hour and then try again.)
Did you press the PUSH button to release the disc?
Is the RESUME, NORMAL, RANDOM (play mode) selector
in the NORMAL position?
• Is the headphones plug inserted all the way?
• Is the plug dirty? (Wipe away dirt on the plug.)
Are you using the unit body too near a TV or tuner? (If the
TV or tuner is connected to a simple indoor antenna,
connect it to an outdoor antenna.)
AC adaptor
• Handle the AC adaptor carefully. Improper handling is dangerous.
• Do not touch it with wet hands.
• Do not place heavy objects on top of it.
• Do not forcibly bend it.
• Be sure to connect only the AC adaptor provided with the unit.
• Disconnect the AC adaptor from the power outlet if the unit is
not going to be used for a long time.
Unit
No altering or remodeling

Precautions for Listening with the
Headphones
• Do not play your headphones at a high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous extended play.
• If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.
• Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create
traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

3 When recharging is complete, unplug the
AC adaptor from the power outlet and the
DC IN jack.
Notes:
• It takes approximately 3 hours to recharge the rechargeable
batteries.
• Rechargeable batteries have a service life of approximately
300 charge-discharge cycles. If the operating time on one full
charge becomes noticeably shorter than it used to be, the battery has reached the end of its service life and should be replaced.
• Recharging is made only when the unit is powered off. (It is
not possible to recharge the batteries while playing a CD.)
• The AC adaptor and rechargeable batteries may become warm
while recharging is in progress. This in not a malfunction.
If the battery lid
compartment
comes loose
Slide the lid back into place
horizontally.
Using the AC adaptor
Connect the AC adaptor supplied.
Refer to “Using rechargeable batteries” for connection instructions.
Note:
The unit is in the standby condition when the AC adaptor is connected. The primary circuit is always “live” as long as the AC
adaptor is connected to an electrical outlet.
Removing batteries
Push up on the battery in
the direction indicated by
the arrow. Then lift it out.
Using the car adaptor
XL-PV300 comes with a car adaptor. For XL-PG3/PG5, obtain the
optional car adaptor as required.
• Car adaptor (CA-R455)
The car adaptor can be used to recharge the unit’s batteries while
in the car.
Using dry-cell batteries
(not included)
After disconnecting the AC adaptor, insert two “R6” (LR6) alkaline batteries.
The procedure for inserting and removing dry-cell
batteries is identical to that for rechargeable batteries.
Battery indicator
This indicator flashes on and off when the batteries are almost
out of power. Power is cut off completely a short while later.
Rechargeable batteries: Recharge batteries.
Dry-cell batteries: Replace batteries with new ones.
Notes:
• The length of time the unit will continue to operate after the
battery indicator starts flashing and when the power is cut off
differs depending on the type of batteries used.
• The battery indicator may not flash if rechargeable batteries,
other than those designated by JVC, are used.
If the unit malfunctions or freezes during use,
then disconnect the power sources (the AC
adaptor and batteries).
Re-connect the power source and continue operation.

Notes:
• The position of the T.S.P. switch can be changed during play,
but this may cause a slight interruption in the sound because
the disc’s rotational speed changes.
• During T.S.P. operation, the disc rotates at a higher rate than
usual in order to collect extra audio data. This may cause the
batteries to run out faster and could result in a slight increase
in disc rotation noise.
