Introduction

We would like to thank you for purchasing one of our JVC products.

Before operating this unit, read this manual carefully and thoroughly to obtain the best

possible performance from your unit, and retain this manual for future reference.

About This Manual

This manual is organized as follows:

• You can use the buttons and controls both on the

remote control and on the unit for the same operations if they have the same or similar names (or marks), unless mentioned otherwise.

• Basic and common information that is the same for many functions is grouped in one place, and is not repeated in each procedure. For instance, we do not repeat the information about turning on/off the unit and others, which are explained in the section “Basic Operations” on page 9.

• The following marks are used in this manual:

Gives you warning and caution to prevent from damage or risk of fire/electric shock. Furthermore, gives you information which is not good for obtaining the best possible performance from the unit.

Gives you information and hints you had better know.

Precautions

Installation

• Install the unit in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold—between 5˚C (41˚F) and 35˚C (95˚F).

• Install the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in the unit.

DO NOT install the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.

Power sources

• When unplugging the unit from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the AC power cord.

DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet hands.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in the following cases:

• After starting heating in the room

• In a damp room

• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm place

Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this case, leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.

Others

• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before operating any further.

• If you are not going to operate the unit for an extended period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.

DO NOT disassemble the unit since there are no user serviceable parts inside.

If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer.

Precautions on Disc Playback and Recording

Playback

This unit has been designed to play back discs bearing the following logos:

Recording

This unit has been designed to record on the discs bearing the following logos:

CD ReWritable (CD-RW)

CD Recordable (CD-R)

Audio CD

In addition to the above discs, this unit can play back audio data recorded on CD-G (CD Graphics), CD-Text, CD-Extra and CD-R/CD-RW (single session) including MP3 tracks (files).

Notes on playing a CD-R or CD-RW:

• The built-in CD Recorder can play back both finalized and unfinalized CD-Rs/CD-RWs, however 3-CD Changer

cannot play back unfinalized CD-RWs.

• Either on 3-CD Changer or on CD Recorder, you can play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded on a personal computer only if they have been recorded in the CD audio format. Also 3-CD Changer can play back CD-Rs/CD-RWs (single session) including MP3 tracks (files).

• Some CD-Rs and CD-RWs may not be played back either on 3-CD Changer or on CD Recorder because of their disc characteristics, damage or stains.

Important notice:

• Continuous use of irregular–shaped discs (heart-shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage the disc rotating mechanism.

CD Recordable (CD-R)

In addition to the logos shown above, the words shown below or their equivalent should also be indicated somewhere on the package or accompanying documentation.

• FOR CONSUMER

• FOR CONSUMER USE

• FOR MUSIC USE ONLY Make sure the words, DIGITAL AUDIO, is shown on the discs.

The following discs cannot be used for recording:

• Discs bearing logos other than the above.

• Discs intended for professional use.

• Discs intended for recording computer data.

Important notice:

• The manufacturer assumes no liability whatsoever for any damage resulting from missed opportunity or accidental erasure that occurs while conducting recording or playback operations due to malfunctioning of or trouble in the unit, or for any incidental damage.

• Before recording on a CD-R, it is recommended to make a test recording using a CD-RW.

• If PCA (Power Calibration Area) or PMA (Program Memory Area) of the disc is already recorded fully, any further recording cannot be performed on this disc even though there are still unused memory spaces on the disc. (See “Glossary” on page 42.)

• CD-RWs may require a longer read-out time. This is caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.

• MP3 discs require a longer read-out time. It differs depending on the complexity of the group/track configuration.

• DO NOT subject the unit to any shock or vibration while recording.

• DO NOT use a dusty or scratched CD-R/ CD-RW for recording; otherwise, you cannot obtain the satisfactory recording quality.

It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast or cable program and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic embodied therein.

• Audio cord with RCA pin plugs (2)

• Cable with monaural mini-plugs (1)

If anything is missing, consult your dealer immediately.

Putting the Batteries into the Remote Control

Insert the batteries—R6(SUM-3)/AA(15F)—into the remote control, by matching the polarity (+ and –) on the batteries with the + and – markings on the battery compartment. When the remote control can no longer operate the unit, replace both batteries at the same time.

When using the remote control, point it at the remote sensor on the unit.

• DO NOT use an old battery together with a new one.

• DO NOT use different types of batteries together.

• DO NOT expose batteries to heat or flame.

• DO NOT leave the batteries in the battery

compartment when you are not going to use the remote control for an extended period of time. Otherwise, it will be damaged from battery leakage.

Connecting Other Components

When you connect and use other components, refer also to the manuals supplied with them.

• DO NOT connect other components while the power is on.

• DO NOT plug in any component until all connections are complete.

To connect an analog component

White plugs and jacks are for left audio signals, and red ones for right audio signals.

You can enjoy playback and recording on the connected component. By using audio cords with RCA pin plugs (supplied), connect:

• Between the audio input jacks on the other component and the LINE OUT (PLAY) jacks.

When connecting a JVC audio component equipped with the COMPU LINK remote control system

You can use COMPU LINK remote control system (see page 40) by connecting this unit and a JVC audio component through the COMPU LINK-4 (SYNCHRO) jacks using cables with monaural mini-pugs in addition to the audio cord connection. When using COMPU LINK remote control system for operating a receiver equipped with TAPE and/or CDR jacks, set the MODE selector to the appropriate position (see below).

• Set the MODE selector to “CDR” when connecting to the CDR input/output jacks on the receiver. The connected receiver (or amplifier) recognizes this unit as a CD recorder.

• Set the MODE selector to “TD” when connecting to the TAPE/MD or TAPE input/output jacks on the receiver. The connected receiver (or amplifier) recognizes this unit as a cassette deck.
