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

• 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.

Installation

How to Read This Manual

• 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.

To make this manual as simple and easy-to-understand as
possible, we have adapted the following methods:
• Button and control operations are explained as listed in
the table below. In this manual, the operations using the
remote control are mainly explained; however, you can
use the buttons and controls on the center unit if they
have the same (or similar) name and marks.
• Some related tips and notes are explained later in the
sections “Learning More about This System” and
“Troubleshooting,” but not in the same section
explaining the operations. If you want to know more
about the functions, or if you have a doubt about the
functions, go to these sections and you will find the
answers.
Indicates that you press the button
briefly.

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.

Indicates that you press the button
briefly and repeatedly until an option
you want is selected.

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.

Indicates that you press one of the
buttons.

2 sec.

For safety, observe the following carefully:
• Make sure there is good ventilation around
the center 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.

• Indicates that you turn the control
toward the specified direction(s).

Remote
ONLY

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.

Indicates that you press and hold the
button for specified seconds.
• The number inside the arrow indicates
the period of press (in this example, 2
seconds).
• If no number is inside the arrow, press
and hold until the entire procedure is
complete or until you get a result you
want.

Indicates that this operation is only possible
using the remote control.

ROOT

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 99
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...
– 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.
