Regarding WorldSpace broadcast audio quality

Programs broadcast by WorldSpace utilize the

newest technology in data compression (MPEG

LAYER III) enabling audio ranging from telephone

quality to that approaching CD quality.

Audio quality of individual programs, however,

depends on the broadcaster.

Handling Precautions

1. Avoid installing in the following places.

· Where it could be subject to vibrations.

· Where it is excessively humid, such as in a

bathroom.

· Where it could be magnetized by a magnet or

speaker.

2. Do not place cassette tapes, etc. near the

speakers.

Since there are magnets in the speakers, do not

place tapes or magnetic cards on them as

recorded data could be erased.

3. Keep this unit away from your TV.

When this unit is used near a TV, the TV picture

could be distorted. If this happens, move this unit

away from the TV. If this does not correct the

situation, avoid using this unit when the TV is

turned on.

4. Cleaning the cabinet

If the cabinet gets dirty, wipe it with a soft dry

cloth. Never use benzene or thinner as these

could damage the surface finish.

5. When listening with headphones

· Do not listen at high volumes as it could

damage your hearing.

· For safety, do not drive while listening to this

unit on headphones.

6. Carrying handle

· Do not raise or lower the carrying handle with

the telescopic antenna extended, to avoid

damaging the antenna. Place the carrying

handle so that it does not interfere with

operation.

· After connecting the WS antenna cable, be sure

to check that the cable is under and not over

the carrying handle. If the cable is over the

handle, using the handle to carry this unit may

stretch the cable and cause the unit to

malfunction.

Safety Precautions

Prevention of Electric Shocks, Fire Hazards, and

Damage

1. Even when the

(STANDBY/ON) button is set

to standby, a very small current will flow. To save

power and for safety reasons, when not using the

unit for an extended period of time, disconnect

the power cord from the AC outlet.

2. Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

3. When unplugging from the wall outlet, always

grasp and pull the plug, not the power cord.

4. Consult your nearest dealer when damage,

disconnection, or connect failure is found with

the power cord.

5. Do not bend sharply, pull or twist the cord.

6. Do not modify the power cord in any manner.

7. To avoid accidents, do not remove screws to

disassemble the unit and do not touch anything

inside the unit.

8. Do not insert any metallic objects into the unit.

9. Unplug the power cord when there is a

possibility of lightning.

10. If water gets inside the unit, unplug the power

cord from the outlet and consult your dealer.

11. Do not block the ventilation holes of the unit so

that heat can escape. Do not place the unit in a

badly ventilated place.

(STANDBY/ON) button

When the power cord is connected to an AC

outlet, the standby indicator is lit red, when the

unit is in the standby mode (this indicator does

not light when DC power is supplied). When the

power is switched on, the indicator turns off

showing that the power is on.

When this unit is plugged into an AC outlet, it

consumes a small current to back up the memory

of the microprocessor, even when the

(STANDBY/ON) is set to standby.

PRECAUTIONS REGARDING WS ANTENNA

SHORT-CIRCUIT

When there is a possible short-circuit in the WS

antenna, the unit will exhibit the following.

1. The WS antenna reception indicator and

WorldSpace band indicator will occasionally

disappear.

2. When the WS band is selected, the WS band

indicator and WS antenna reception indicator will

blink.

3. After broadcaster reception is initiated, the sound

will be muted for about two seconds before

being received.

When these precautionary signs are noted, bring the

unit to an authorized JVC dealer or service station.
