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.
• 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.
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.
• 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.
DO NOT install the System in a location near
heat sources, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet
hands.
For safety, observe the following carefully:
• Make sure there is good ventilation around
the main unit. Poor ventilation could
overheat and damage the System.
• DO NOT block the ventilation openings or
holes. If they are blocked by a newspaper or
cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get
out.
DO NOT disassemble the System since there
are no user serviceable parts inside.

Illustrations of the input/output terminals below are typical
examples.
When you connect Digital Audio Player, etc., refer also to their
manuals since the terminal names actually printed on the rear
may vary.
Turn the power off to all components before connections.

To connect the AM loop antenna
Make sure to connect the wire correctly.
For better FM/AM reception
• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other
terminals, connecting cords and power cord. Also, keep the
antennas away from metallic parts of the System,
connecting cords, and the AC power cord. This could cause
poor reception.
To connect the speaker cords
Make sure the both speakers are connected correctly and
firmly.
When connecting the speaker cords, match the polarity of
the speaker terminals: The black cord to (-), the red cord to
(+).
• If the AM loop antenna wire or speaker cords are covered
with vinyl, remove the vinyl to expose the tip of the
antenna wire or speaker cords by twisting the vinyl.

Additional Information
Learning More about This System
Daily Operations—Playback (see pages 8)
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.
Playing Back a Disc:
• 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 files, 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 on an MP3/WMA disc. Those exceeding the
maximum number cannot be recognized.
– 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.
Daily Operations—Sound & Other Adjustments
(see pages 12 and 13)
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:
• The clock blinks on the display until you set the clock.
• The clock may gain or lose 1 to 2 minutes per month. If this
happens, reset the clock.
Advanced Disc/USB mass storage class device
(see pages 14 to 16)
Programming the Playing Order—Program Play:
• If you try to program a 33rd track, “FULL” appears on the
display.
• While programming steps...
Your entry will be ignored if you have tried to program an item
number that does not exist on the disc (for example, selecting
track 14 on a disc that only has 12 tracks).
Timer Operations (see pages 17 and 18)
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure
occurs, the timer will be canceled. You need to set the clock
first, then the timer again.
• You can not set On time and Off time on the same time setting.

Handling discs
• When removing the disc from its case, hold it at the edge while
pressing the center hole lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the disc.
• Put the disc back in its case after use to prevent warping.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes, and
moisture.
To clean the disc:
Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to
edge.
Cleaning the System
• Stains should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the System is
heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water-diluted
neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry
cloth.
• Since the System may deteriorate in quality, it become
damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the
following:
– DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth.
– DO NOT wipe it strongly.
– DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.
– DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as insecticides
to it.
– DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact for
a long time.
