Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the JVC Compact Component System.
We hope it will be a valued addition to your home, giving you years of enjoyment.
Be sure to read this instruction manual carefully before operating your new stereo system.
In it you will find all the information you need to set up and use the system.
If you have a query that is not answered by the manual, please contact your dealer.
Features
Here are some of the things that make your System both powerful and simple to use.
I With the slot-loading CD mechanism, you can choose to place the System either vertically or horizontally.
I Many types of compact discs are sold for a variety of uses. The Video CD Player can play the following compact discs.
Types of CD you can play:
· Video CD without Playback Control function: for audio and video (moving picture) reproduction.
· Video CD with Playback Control function: featuring menu-type operation and super-fine still pictures for audio
and video (moving picture) reproduction.
· Digital Audio CD, finalized CD-R and CD-RW: for audio reproduction. You can play back your original CD-R or
CD-RW recorded in Music CD format or recorded in MP3 format that is compliant with ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2.
(However they may not be played back depending on their characteristics or recording conditions.)
· CDs you cannot play: Do not play SVCDs, DVDs, CD-ROMs, CD-G or CD-I Discs on this System. Playing CD-
ROMs may generate a noise which can damage your speakers.
I The controls and operations have been redesigned to make them very easy to use, freeing you to
just enjoy the music.
· With JVC's COMPU PLAY you can turn on the System and automatically start the Radio or
CD Player with a single touch.
I The System incorporates Active Hyper Bass PRO circuitry to faithfully reproduce low frequency sounds.
I A 45-station preset capability (30 FM and 15 AM) in addition to auto-seek and manual tuning.
I CD options that include repeat, random and program play.
I Timer functions; Daily Timer and Sleep Timer.
I You can connect various external units, such as an MD recorder.
How This Manual Is Organized
· Basic information that is the same for many different functions - e.g. setting the volume - is given in the section
`Basic Operations', and not repeated under each function.
· The names of buttons/controls and display messages are written in all capital letters: e.g. FM/AM, "CD NO DISC".
· System functions are written with an initial capital letter only: e.g. Normal Play.
Use the table of contents to look up specific information you require.
We have enjoyed making this manual for you, and hope it serves you in enjoying the many features built into your System.
WARNINGS
· DO NOT PUT ANYTHING ON THE PANEL. IF THE SYSTEM IS OPERATED WITH SOMETHING PUT
ON THE PANEL, IT WILL BE DAMAGED WHEN YOU TRY TO OPEN THE PANEL.
· SUPPLIED SPEAKERS ARE EXCLUSIVELY FOR THIS SYSTEM. USING WITH OTHER DEVICES WILL
DAMAGE THE SPEAKERS.
IMPORTANT CAUTIONS
1 Installation of the System
· Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold. (Between 5°C and 35°C.)
· Leave sufficient distance between the System and a TV.
· Do not use the System in a place subject to vibrations.
2 Power cord
· Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!
· Some power is always consumed as long as the power cord is connected to the wall outlet.
· When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the power cord.
3 Malfunctions, etc.
· There are no user serviceable parts inside. In case of system failure, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer.
· Do not insert any metallic object into the System.
· Do not insert your hand between the Panel and the main body when the Panel is being closed.
