We would like to thank you for purchasing one of our JVC
products.
Before connecting this unit to the wall outlet, please read
the instructions carefully to ensure that you obtain the
best possible performance.
If you have any questions, please consult your JVC
dealer.
Never insert anything other than a compact disc into any part of the
player.
If a problem persists
If something goes wrong, turn off the power immediately. If the same
problem reoccurs when the power is turned on once more, turn off the
power again and consult your JVC dealer.
Handling the power cord
When unplugging from the wall socket, always pull the plug body,
never the power cable.
Volume settings
A CD player has almost zero background noise. Because of this, the
technique of listening to the background level and then setting the
volume before the music starts, as used with analog turntables or tape
decks, cannot be used. If you raise the volume level too high, speaker
damage may result.
Condensation
The CD player uses optical components. If it is moved from a cold
location to a warm one, or is used in a room subject to excessive
humidity or where a fire has just been lit, condensation could form on
the optical components.
This may prevent the laser beam from being properly transmitted and
thus causes noise or even a malfunction.
If condensation has formed and the CD player does not function
correctly, we recommend that you leave it turned on for an hour or two.
If at the end of this time the CD player still does not function properly,
please consult your JVC dealer.

GENERAL INFORMATIONS
Care and handling
How to handle CDs
When handling compact discs, 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
the disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the sound will not be
picked up correctly and, in addition, such discs may cause the CD
player to malfunction.
Even on label side
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive on
this surface.
Maintenance of discs
When there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe the
disc with a soft, dry cloth with a movement going from the inside
outwards.
If difficult to clean, wipe the disc with a cloth moistened with water.
Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-static agents.
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 any location where they can be exposed to direct
sunlight - or in any place where humidity or temperature is high. Avoid
leaving discs in your car!
