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.
■ 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.
■ The System incorporates Active Hyper Bass PRO circuitry to faithfully reproduce low frequency
sounds.
■ A 45-station preset capability (30 FM and 15 AM (MW/LW)) in addition to auto-seek and manual tuning.
■ CD options that include repeat, random and program play.
■ Timer functions; Daily Timer and Sleep Timer.
■ You can connect various external units, such as an MD recorder.
■ The system can play CD-R and CD-RW after they have been finalized.
■ You can play back your original CD-R or CD-RW recorded in Music CD format. (However they may not be played back

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, “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.

Power cord
CAUTIONS:
• ONLY USE THE JVC POWER CORD PROVIDED WITH THIS SYSTEM TO AVOID MALFUNC-
TION OR DAMAGE TO THE SYSTEM.
• BE SURE TO UNPLUG THE POWER CORD FROM THE OUTLET WHEN GOING OUT OR WHEN
THE SYSTEM IS NOT IN USE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.
Now you can plug the AC power cord into the wall outlet, and your System is at your command!
COMPU Play
JVC’s COMPU PLAY feature lets you control the most frequently used System functions with a single touch.
With One Touch Operation you can play a CD, turn on the radio, or listen to an external equipment with a single press of the
play button for that function. One Touch Operation turns the power on for you, then starts the function you have specified. At
the same time, the Top Cover moves backward to allow the Unit’s top button operation. If the System is not ready (no CD in
place), the System still powers on so you can insert a CD.
How One Touch Operation works in each case is explained in the section dealing with that function.
The COMPU PLAY buttons are:
On the Remote Control
CD #/8button
FM/AM button
MD/AUX button
Automatic Power On
The System automatically turns on with the following operation.
• When you press the CD 0button on the Remote Control or the OPEN/CLOSE button on the Unit, the System automatically
turns on and the Top Cover opens to allow CD setting. However, this operation does not change the function to CD.
When you press the % button to turn off the System, the Top Cover will be automatically closed if it is opened.
• When you press the DOOR SLIDE button on the Remote Control, the System automatically turns on and the Top Cover
moves backwards to allow button operation.
When you press the % button to turn off the System, the Top Cover will automatically moves back to the original position,
if it is in the backward position.

Care And Maintenance
Handle your CDs carefully, and they will last a long time.
Cleaning the Lens
Compact Discs
If the lens in the CD pickup is dirty, dropout, etc., could de-
grade sound.
Open the Top Cover and clean the lens as shown.
• Use a blower (available from a camera store) to blow
dust off the lens.
• Only CDs bearing this mark can
be used with this System. How-
ever, continued use of irregular
shape CDs (heart-shape, octago-
nal, etc.) can damage the System.
Blower
Lens
• Remove the CD from its case by
holding it at the edges while
pressing the case’s center hole
lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface of
the CD, or bend the CD.
• Put the CD back in its case after
use to prevent warping.
• Be careful not to scratch the sur-
face of the CD when placing it
back in the case.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight,
temperature extremes, and mois-
ture.
• If there are fingerprints, etc. on the lens, gently wipe
clean with a cotton swab.
• A dirty CD may not play cor-
rectly. If a CD does become dirty,
wipe it with a soft cloth in a
straight line from center to edge.
CAUTION:
• Do not use any solvent (for example, con-
ventional record cleaner, spray thinner,
benzine, etc.) to clean a CD.
Moisture Condensation
General Notes
Moisture may condense on the lens
inside the System in the following
cases:
• After turning on heating in the
room.
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping
your CDs and the mechanism clean.
• Store CDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on
shelves.
• Keep the System’s Top Cover closed when not in use.
• 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 un-
til the moisture evaporates, unplug
the AC power cord, and then plug it
in again.
Cleaning the unit
• Stains on the unit
Should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the unit is heavily
stained, wipe it witha cloth soaked in water-diluted neu-
tral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry
cloth.
• Since the unit may deteriorate in quality, become dam-
aged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the fol-
lowings.
- DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth.
- DO NOT wipe it strong.
- DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.
- DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as insecti-
cides to it.
- DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in con-
tact with it for a long time.
