Precautions

Features

Thank you for purchasing this JVC product. Please read these
instructions through carefully before starting operation to ensure
that you will derive the optim um performance and a long service
life from your unit .

Safeguarding against electric shocks, fire hazards
and damage

1) A very low current will still flow even when the POWER (for
Canada and U.S.A.)/ (for other countries) button is set at
STANDBY. To save power and ensure safety when the unit is
not going to be used f or an e xtended period of time , dis c on ne c t
the power co rds f rom the hou s ehold AC outlet. (Se e pa g e 10 )

2) Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

3) To unplug the power cord from the household AC outlet,
always take hold of the molded plug part and pull the plug free
rather than pulling the cord.

4) If the power cord is damaged or found to have a disconnected
wire or a contact failure, consult your dealer.

5) Do not bend the cor d a t a s har p an gle, and do not pull or twist it.

6) Do not modify the power cord in any way.

7) Do not remove the screws in order to disassemble the unit, and
do not touch any of the parts inside the unit.

8) Do not insert metallic objects into the unit.

9) Unplug the power cord during electrica l storms.

10) If water should find its way inside the unit, unplug the power
cord from the outlet, and consult your dealer.

11) Do not install the unit in a poorly ventilated location.

Installation

1) Avoid placing the unit on or adjacent to an amplifier. This is to

prevent the humming caused by the unit’s proximity to some
types of amplifiers. Move the unit where it will not be affected
by the amplifier.

2) Avoid installing the unit where the ambient temperature will
exceed 35 °C (namely, in direct sunlight, near a hea ting appli ­ance, etc.) or drop below 5 °C, where it is very humid or dusty,
or where the unit will be subject to vibration.

3) The unit may not function properly if it is moved suddenly from
a cold place (0 °C) to a warm place since condensation may form
inside the unit. In such a case, leave the unit standing for about
couple of hours, after which time it s hou ld f unc tion p rope rly.

Disc care

• Storing CDs

• Always ensure that each CD is stored in its own case.

• Do not place CDs in direct sunlight, near a heating appliance
or any other location which is susceptible to high tempera­tures.

• If cellophane tape , an adhesive sticker or some other form of
glue is present on the label side, clean it off before use.

• Do not stick adhesive labels or write anything on a CD.

• Do not bend CDs.

• Do NOT insert shaped CDs, such as CDs in a heart, flower or
other shape, because their shape does not match the shape of the
CD tray, and using them will give rise to malfunctioning.

Cleaning the cabinet

Never use benzine or paint thinners to clean the cabinet as they
may mar the unit’s surface finish.

All of the functions and co nveniences of having a 3-CD changer
and CDR in a single combination deck

• 3-CD changer compatible with CD-RW

• CDR capable of performing high speed (2x) recording of
discs loaded in the 3-CD changer

• Optical digital/analog input and output with an additional
input for microphone

• Sampli ng frequ ency c onverter capable o f convert ing dig i­tal signals wit h sa mpli ng fr equen cy of 32 kHz and 4 8 kHz
to digital signa ls wit h a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz for
quality recording from a variety of sources

• No sampling frequency conversion of 44.1 kHz signals for
optimal reco rding of CDs

• Mixing and recording of the 3-CD changer playback and
either micro phone input or an exter nally input source, or
even the microphone input and the externally input source

• Many convenient recording options including: one-button
CD and single tra c k reco rding, L isteni ng and Progr am Edi t
recording, manual recording, synchronized start record­ing, and mixed input recording

• CD playback pitch control that can adjust the speed of play
up to 12% faster or slower than the normal speed to alter
the pitch for singing along to or other customized uses

• Timer playback and timer recording that can be set for
one-time or ev eryday operation

• OPC (Opt imize Power Control), stre ngth adjust ment per­formed for best possible rec ord ing o nto C D-R and C D-RW
media

Types of Discs Compatible with the Unit

The following disc formats can be used in the CDR for
recording.

In addition to the marks shown above, the phrases
shown below or their equivalent should also be present
somewhere on the packaging or accompanying docu­mentation:

FOR CONSUMER

FOR MUSIC USE ONLY

Discs that cannot be used for recording are as follows:

• Discs bearing marks other than those shown above

• Discs intended for professional use and/or marked
“FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY”

• Discs intended for recording computer data

In addition to the two disc formats shown above, the fol­lowing disc format can also be played in either the 3CD
changer or CDR.

Notes

• Although the CDR can play all 3 types of discs at any time, the
3-CD changer can only play CD-R and CD-RW after they have
been finalized. For more information on finalization of CD-R
and CD-RW, see page 29.

• The unit can playback audio recorded in CD-G, CD-EXTRA
and CD-Text discs.

• If a CD-R or CD-RW has been recorded using a personal com­puter, playback is only possible if the disc is recorded in the CD
Audio format.

then re-connect it.

• Misconnecti ons can be avoided by using t he white plugs on t he
accessory pin cables for the LEFT channel and the red plugs for
the RIGHT channel.

• Insert the plugs all the way in. Incomplete connections may
cause noise.

• When plugging the power cord into the AC outlet, be sure to
match the width of the plug blades with the outlet.
