• Do not block the ventilation openings or holes. (If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)

• Do not place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the apparatus.

• When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and local rules or laws governing the disposal of these batteries must be followed strictly.

• Do not use this apparatus in a bathroom or places with water. Also do not place any containers filled with water or liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, flower vases, potted plants, cups, etc.) on top of this apparatus.

DANGER: Invisible laser radiation when open and interlock failed or defeated. AVOID DIRECT EXPOSURE TO BEAM. (e)

ADVARSEL: Usynlig laserstråling ved åbning, når sikkerhedsafbrydere er ude af funktion. Undgå udsættelse for stråling (d)

IMPORTANT for the U.K. DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the

plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer.

BE SURE to replace the fuse only with an identical approved type, as originally fitted.

If nontheless the mains plug is cut off ensure to remove the fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.

If this product is not supplied fitted with a mains plug then follow the instructions given below:

IMPORTANT: DO NOT make any connection to the terminal which is

marked with the letter E or by the safety earth symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow.

The wires in the mains lead on this product are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue : Neutral Brown : Live

As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.

The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

IF IN DOUBT - CONSULT A COMPETENT ELECTRICIAN.

Introduction

We would like to thank you for purchasing one of our JVC products. Before operating this micro component system, read this manual carefully and thoroughly to obtain the best possible performance from your system,

and retain this manual for future reference.

About This Manual

This manual is organized as follows:

• The manual mainly explains operations using the buttons and controls on the units. You can also use the buttons on the remote control if they have the same or similar names (or marks) as those on the units. If operation using the remote control is different from that using each unit, it is then explained.

• 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 system, setting the volume, changing the sound effects, and others, which are explained in the section “Basic Settings” and “Common Operations” on pages 10 to 13.

• The following marks are used in this manual:

Gives you warnings and cautions to prevent from a damage or risk of fire/ electric shock. Also gives you information which is not good for obtaining the best possible performance from the units.

Gives you information and hints you had better know.

Power sources

• When unplugging 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 units in the following cases:

• After starting heating in the room

• In a damp room

• If the units are brought directly from a cold to a warm place

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

Others

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

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

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

Precautions

Installation

• Install 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 units in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat buildup in the units.

• Leave sufficient distance between the units and the TV.

• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference with TV.

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

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

Connecting Antennas

Supplied FM antenna

Attach the FM antenna to the FM 75 Ω COAXIAL terminal on the rear panel of XT-UXG66R.

Extend the FM antenna.

Fasten it up in the position which gives you the best reception.

About the supplied FM antenna

The FM antenna supplied with this unit can only be used as temporary measure. If reception is poor, you can connect an outdoor FM antenna.

To connect an outdoor FM antenna

Before connecting it, disconnect the supplied FM antenna.

Connecting Sub Woofer System

When using JVC external sub woofer system, connect audio cable between AX-UXG66’s SUB WOOFER OUT jack and the input of your sub woofer system.

AM loop antenna (supplied)

Connect the AM loop antenna to the AM LOOP terminals as illustrated.

Turn the AM loop antenna until you have the best reception.

To connect an external AM antenna

When reception is poor, connect a single vinyl-covered wire to the AM EXT terminal and extend it horizontally. (The AM loop antenna must remain connected.)

For better reception of both FM and AM

• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals and connecting cables.

• Keep the antennas away from metallic parts of the units, connecting cables, and the AC power cord.

Right speaker

Open the speaker terminal.

Insert the end of the speaker cord to the terminal.

Left speaker

Match the polarity of the speaker terminals: Red (+) to red (+) and black (–) to black (–).

Close the speaker terminal on the rear of the unit.

When connecting speaker cords

• Make sure to connect the cords correctly following the right series of above steps. During operation, wrong connection or a short circuit make the power turned off to protect the system. The clock loses the setting and is reset to “0:00”. Also the MD recording may fail.

• Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of the unit.

Continued

Connecting Other Equipments

You can connect the following equipments to the system:

• Audio equipment — used only as an analog playback device.

• Audio equipment with an optical digital input terminal — used as a digital recording device.

When you connect and use these equipments, refer also to the manuals supplied with them.

To connect audio equipment without a digital output terminal

Connect the audio output jacks on the other equipment and the AN ALOG IN jacks, using an audio cable (not supplied).

Be sure that the plugs of the audio cables and the jacks on the rear panel of the unit are color coded: White plugs and jacks are for left audio signals, and red ones for right audio signals.

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

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

To connect audio equipment with an optical digital input terminal

By using both an optical digital cable (not supplied) and an audio cable (not supplied), connect:

• Between the optical digital input terminal on the other equipment and the optical digital output terminal on XT UXG66R.

• Between the audio output jacks on the other equipment and the ANALOG IN jacks.
