Introduction

About This Manual

This manual is organized as follows:

•The manual mainly explains operations using the

buttons and controls on the unit. You can also use the

buttons on the remote control if they have the same or

similar names (or marks) as those on the unit.

If operation using the remote control is different from

that using the 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 unit, setting the

volume, changing the sound effects, and others, which are

explained in the section “Common Operations” on pages 9

to 11.

• The following marks are used in this manual:

Gives you warnings and cautions to prevent

damage or risk of fire/electric shock.

Also gives you information which is not good

for obtaining the best possible performance

from the unit.

Gives you information and hints you had better

know.

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 unit in a location with adequate ventilation to

prevent internal heat built-up in the unit.

• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.

• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference

with TV.

DO NOT install the unit in a location near heat

sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,

excessive dust or vibration.

We would like to thank you for purchasing one of our JVC products.

Before operating this unit, read this manual carefully and thoroughly to

obtain the best possible performance from your unit, and retain this manual

for future reference.

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 unit in the

following cases:

• After starting heating in the room

• In a damp room

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

Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this case,

leave the unit 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 the unit,

unplug the unit and consult your dealer before operating

any further.

• If you are not going to operate the unit for an extended

period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall

outlet.

DO NOT disassemble the unit since there are no

user serviceable parts inside.

If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and

consult your dealer.

Playing Back CDs

This unit has been designed to playback the following CDs:

Audio CD, CD-R, and CD-RW.

Continued use of irregular shape CDs (heart-shape,

octagonal, etc.) can damage the unit.

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs

(Rewritable) can be played back only if they are already

recorded in music CD format. (However, they may not

be played back depending on their characteristics or

recording conditions.)

• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their

instructions or cautions carefully.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on

this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or

stain on them, or if the player’s lens is dirty.

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. (This is

caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is

lower than for regular CDs.)

Since each timer can be set separately, you may wonder what

happens if the setting for these timers overlaps.

Here are examples.

• Recording Timer has priority over Daily Timer.

If Daily Timer is set to come on while Recording Timer is

operating, Daily Timer will not come on at all.

•If Sleep Timer overlaps with another timer (either Daily

Timer or Recording Timer), a timer with the earlier shut-off

time has priority.

When using the Recording Timer and Sleep Timer at the

same time, pay special attention to the shut-off time.

Maintenance

To get the best performance of the unit, keep your discs, tapes, and mechanism clean.

Handling cassette tapes

• If the tape is loose in its cassette, take

up the slack by inserting a pencil in

one of the reels and rotating.

• If the tape is loose, it may get

stretched, cut, or caught in the

cassette.

• Be careful not to touch the tape

surface.

• Avoid the following places to store the

tape:

— In dusty places

— In direct sunlight or heat

— In moist areas

— Near a magnet

Handling discs • Remove the disc from its case by

holding 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 when placing it back in its case.

• 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. DO NOT use any solvent — such as conventional

record cleaner, spray, thinner, or benzine — to

clean the disc.

If you are having a problem with your unit, check this list for a possible solution before calling for service.

If you cannot solve the problem from the hints given here, or the unit has been physically damaged, call a qualified person,

such as your dealer, for service.
