Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a JVC product. Please read all instructions carefully before operation, to ensure your complete understanding and to obtain the best possible performance from the unit.

Precautions

Installation

• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold—between 5°C and 35°C.

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

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

• Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.

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

Power sources

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

DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet hands.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the System in the following cases:

• After starting to heat the room

• In a damp room

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

Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case, leave the System 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 System, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before operating any further.

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

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

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

Additional Information

Learning More about This System

Daily Operations—Playback (see pages 7 to 10)

Listening to the Radio:

• If you store a new station into an occupied preset number, the previously stored station in that number will be erased.

• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure occurs, the preset stations will be erased in a few days. If this happens, preset the stations again.

Playable Media and Files:

• This System cannot play “packet write” discs.

• For MP3/WMA playback... – MP3/WMA discs are required a longer readout time than

regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/file configuration.)

– Some MP3/WMA files cannot be played back and will be

skipped. This results from their recording processes and conditions.

– When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1 or

Level 2 for the disc format.

– This System can play back MP3/WMA files with the

extension code <.mp3/.wma> (regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).

– Some characters or symbols will not be shown correctly on

the display. The maximum character number shown on the display is 32 (without the extension code) for file names, and 30 for ID3 tag.

– It is recommended that you make each MP3/WMA file at a

sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps.

– This System can recognize a total of 999 tracks and 500

groups. Those exceeding the maximum number cannot be recognized.

– If a folder does not include MP3/WMA tracks, they are

ignored.

– Playback order of MP3/WMA tracks may be different from

the one you have intended while recording. If a folder does not include MP3/WMA tracks, they are ignored.

• For playback of files in the USB mass storage class device... – You cannot send any data to your USB mass storage class

device from this System.

– Connect one USB mass storage class device directly to the

System at a time. Do not use a USB hub.

– Coded or encrypted tracks in a special method cannot be

played on the System.

– The USB mass storage class device’s battery is charged

while the System is turned on.

– This System cannot recognize a USB mass storage class

device whose rating exceeds 5 V/500 mA. – This System is compatible with the USB 2.0 Full-Speed. – You cannot play back a file larger than 2 GB. – When playing a file which has a large transfer rate, sounds

may be dropped during playback. – Some USB mass storage class devices may not be

recognized or may not work properly. – The compatible format is FAT16/FAT32. – JVC bears no responsibility for any loss of data in the USB

mass storage class device while using this System.

MP3/WMA groups/tracks configuration

This System plays back MP3/WMA tracks as follows. The play order in the figure is for MP3/WMA tracks on a disc.

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5

• MP3/WMA tracks in a USB mass storage class device may be played back differently.

Playing Back Other Equipment

• If the audio output on the other equipment is not stereo mini plug type, use a plug adapter to convert the stereo mini plug to the corresponding plug of the audio output. Refer to the manuals supplied with the other equipment.

Daily Operations—Sound & Other Adjustments

(see pages 11 and 12)

Adjusting the Volume:

• Be sure to turn down the volume before connecting or putting the headphones.

Adjusting the Sound:

• This function also affects the sound through the headphones.

Setting the Clock:

• “0:00” flashes on the display until you set the clock.

• The clock may gain or lose 1 to 2 minutes per month. If this happens, set the clock again.
