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.  
Here you will find all the information you need to set up and use the system.  
For questions that are not be answered in the manual, contact your dealer.  
Features  
Here are some of the things that make your System powerful and easy to use.  
The controls and operations have been designed to make them very easy to use, so you can spend  
your time listening to music.  
Easy operation  
Great sound  
With the One Touch Operation feature of JVC’s COMPU PLAY you can turn on the System and  
start the radio, the Cassette Deck, or the CD Player with a single touch.  
To get such great sound from such a compact package the System has:  
Programmed sound mode includes live surround effects D. CLUB, HALL, and STADIUM. It  
also includes S.E.A. (Sound Effect Amplifier) effects ROCK, POP, and CLASSIC. You can also  
register up to three customized settings (MANUAL 1 to 3).  
The System is compatible with RDS (Radio Data System) broadcasting.  
The EON data enables you to standby for desired information.  
The PTY Search function searches for programmes in the category you wish.  
In addition, Radio Text can be displayed using data sent by station.  
CD changer function can operate 3 discs.  
Triple Tray  
Discs can be changed during play using the TRIPLE TRAY.  
Continuous, random or program play of 3 discs.  
Three timers  
The three timers, Daily Timer, Recording Timer, and Sleep Timer are extremely easy to set.  
How This Manual Is Organized  
In this manual we have incorporated some special features:  
Basic information that is the same for many different functions is grouped in one place, and not  
repeated in each procedure. For instance, in the section on playing a CD, we do not repeat the  
information about setting the volume and the sound conditions, which are discussed in the Common  
Operations section.  
Name of buttons and controls are written in all capital letters like this: SOUND MODE.  
The manual has a table of contents to help you quickly look up what you want to know.  
We’ve enjoyed making this manual for you, and hope you will use it to enjoy the sound and many  
features built into your System.  
IMPORTANT CAUTIONS  
1. Installation of the Unit  
Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold. (Between 5°C and 35°C or  
41°F and 95°F.)  
Leave sufficient distance between the Unit and a TV.  
Do not use the Unit in a place subject to vibrations.  
2. Power cord  
Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!  
Some power (10 watts) is always consumed as long as the power cord is connected to the wall  
outlet.  
When unplugging the Unit from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the power cord.  
3. Malfunctions, etc.  
There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If anything goes wrong, unplug the power cord and  
consult your dealer.  
Do not insert any metallic object into the Unit.

COMPU PLAY  
COMPU PLAY is JVC’s feature that lets you control the most frequently used functions of the System  
with a single touch.  
One Touch Operation starts playing a CD, turns on the radio, plays a tape, etc. with a single press of the  
play button for that function. What One Touch Operation does for you is to turn the power on, then start  
the function you have specified. If the Unit is not ready, such as no CD or tape in place, the Unit still  
powers on so you can insert a CD or tape.  
How One Touch Operation works in each case is explained in the section dealing with that function.

Sound Modes  
The System has some preset sound effects that give you control of the way your music sounds, so you can  
tailor it for your room and for the quality of the source. We can give you some idea of how each one  
affects the music, but the only way to really tell is to try them yourself.  
You can also create up to three of your own customized S.E.A. (Sound Effect Amplifier) settings and  
store them in the Unit’s memory (MANUAL 1, MANUAL 2, MANUAL 3).  
The preset sound modes include modes using surround effects and modes using S.E.A. effects.  
Sound Mode effects cannot be recorded.  
To get an effect, press SOUND MODE repeatedly until the Sound Mode you want appears on the display.  
The Sound Mode selected will appear on the display for three seconds. When a surround effect mode is  
selected, the frame around the SOUND MODE indicator will light up. When a S.E.A. effect mode is  
selected, the SOUND MODE indicator will light up.

Receiving FM Stations with RDS  
RDS (Radio Data System) allows the FM stations to send additional signals along with their regular  
programme signals. For example, the stations send their station names and information about what type of  
programme they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.  
When tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS service, the station frequency (and then the station  
name if sent) is displayed.  
One convenient RDS service is “Enhanced Other Networks (EON)”. This allows the Unit to automati-  
cally switch to a programme type of your choice when one starts in your broadcast area.  
Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do all RDS stations provide the same services. If in  
doubt, check with local radio stations for details on RDS services in your area.  
RDS may not work correctly if the station to which you are tuned is not transmitting properly or if the  
signal strength is weak.  
What Information RDS can Provide ————————————  
The System can use the following RDS service.  
PS (Programme Service name)  
Identifies each station by a name.  
TA (Traffic Announcement Identification)  
Identifies that a traffic announcement is being broadcast in your area.  
RT (Radio Text)  
Allows the RDS station to send text messages that appear on the display of the unit.  
PTY (Programme Type)  
Identifies the type of RDS programme. This allows you to locate a specific type of programme being  
broadcast.  
The programme types are as follows:  
NEWS  
DRAMA  
ROCK M  
WEATHER  
PHONE IN  
NATIONAL  
AFFAIRS

Things to Know before You Start Recording ———————  
It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of  
the copyright owner.  
When you want to record onto both sides of a tape, you can set Reverse mode on to do so. However,  
recording automatically stops after recording in the 2 direction in Reverse mode. Therefore, make  
sure that the tape direction is 3 when recording with Reverse mode on.  
The recording level, which is the volume at which the new tape is being made, is automatically set  
correctly, so it is not affected by volume control. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you  
are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.  
Two small tabs on the back of the cassette tape, one for side A and one for side B, can be removed to  
prevent accidental erasure or re-recording. To record on a cassette with the tabs removed, you must  
cover the holes with adhesive tape first.  
However, when a Type II tape is used, only cover part of the hole as shown, since the other part of the  
hole is used to detect the tape type.  
When recording, you can hear Sound Mode effects through the speakers or headphones. However, the  
sound is recorded without Sound Mode effects.  
Type I and Type II tapes can be used for recording.  
Note: At the start and end of cassette tapes, there is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto. Depend-  
ing on the recording source, the first part of the recording may be missing because of the leader. When  
recording CDs or radio broadcasts, to get the beginning of the recording on the tape, first wind on the  
leader before beginning recording.  
26  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
CAUTION: If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static,  
the Unit may be too close to a TV which was on during recording. Either  
turn off the TV or increase the distance between the TV and the System.  
Standard Recording  
This is the basic method for recording any source. The System also has special ways for recording CD to  
tape, and tape to tape, which save your time and effort, as well as give you some special effects. However,  
when you need to add a selection to a tape you have made, or are combining selections from several  
sources on one tape, use the method described below; just substitute the source you want into this  
procedure, such as a CD or the Tuner. You can also record from auxiliary source with this procedure.  
Using the Unit  
1. Insert a blank or erasable tape into Deck B.  
2. Press REVERSE MODE if you want to record on both sides of the  
tape.  
Reverse Mode comes on.  
When using Reverse Mode, insert the tape so that it will be recorded in the forward (3) direction.  
3. Check the recording direction for the tape.  
Check that the Tape Direction indicator is the same as that for the tape in the tape deck. If the  
directions are different, press 7 STOP after pressing TAPE ™ £ to set the tape direction.  
When using the Reverse Mode to record both sides of a tape, check that the Tape Direction  
indicator is in the forward (3) direction. If the direction indicator is not in the forward (3)  
direction, press TAPE ™ £ then press 7 STOP.  
4. Prepare the source, for example, by tuning in a radio station,  
loading CDs, or turning on connected equipment.  
5. Press REC START/STOP.  
The REC indicator lights up and the System begins recording.  
Using the Remote Control  
1. Insert a blank or erasable tape into Deck B.  
2. Press REVERSE MODE on the Unit if you want to record on both  
sides of the tape.  
Reverse Mode comes on.  
When using Reverse Mode, insert the tape so that it will be recorded in the forward (3) direction.

Notes for using Reverse Mode for recording  
When recording with Reverse Mode on, the System automatically stops when it reaches the end of the  
reverse (2) direction. To record on both sides of a tape, make sure that the recording direction for the tape  
inserted into Deck B is forward (3), and that the Tape Direction indicator is also forward (3), before you  
start recording.  
To pause at any time during the recording process  
Press REC PAUSE on the Remote Control. Then press 3 on the Remote Control or REC START/STOP  
on the Unit to restart recording.  
To stop at any time during the recording process

Cassette Deck stop.  
To stop at any time during the recording process, press 7 STOP.  
Note: When making Sleep Timer settings while doing CD Direct recording, set the time so that there is  
enough leeway to finish the recording before the power turns off. If the time is set to about the length of  
the CD, the power may turn off before recording finishes.  
For CD Direct Recording using more than one disc, use a blank tape, If you use a prerecorded tape,  
prerecorded material may not be erased between newly-recorded tracks.  
Auto Edit Recording  
Using Auto Edit, you can record the CD tracks to fit the tape, so a selection is not cut off. Auto Edit is one  
of the best ways to copy all of a CD onto a tape. Auto Edit programs the CD tracks in numerical order. To  
prevent the end of the last track on the front side from being cut off, the last track on the front side is  
selected to fit on the remaining tape length.  
1. Press CD £/8, then 7 STOP.  
EDIT  
2. Prepare CDs. (See page 18.)  
Check that the CD Player is not playing a CD.  
3. Press EDIT on the Unit.

4. Press DISC (1 to 3) for the disc you want to record.  
After “TAPE C - -”, the optimum tape length for the disc appears on the display.  
\
You can select a different length of tape, depending on the actual size of the tape you are using,  
from eleven possibilities programmed into the Unit: 40, 46, 50, 54, 60, 64, 70, 74, 80, 84, 90.  
Select the tape length that corresponds to the length of tape you are using, or the nearest length to  
it, by adjusting 4 P. DOWN or ¢ P. UP on the MULTI CONTROL.  
If you select a tape length shorter than the total playing time of the CD, the last tracks on both  
sides of the tape will be faded out as the tape ends.

pressed, the Cassette Deck will create a four-second blank space after the CD Player stops. If REC  
START/STOP is pressed, the CD Player and Cassette Deck will stop simultaneously. When 7 is pressed  
on the Remote Control, the stop time of the CD Player and Cassette Deck vary according to their mode  
(CD operation mode or Cassette Deck operation mode). If the Remote Control is in CD operation mode,  
the Cassette Deck will stop four second after the CD Player stops. If the Remote Control is in Cassette  
Deck operation mode, the CD Player and Cassette Deck will stop simultaneously.  
To cancel Auto Edit, press PROGRAM/ RANDOM while the CD Player is stopped or press 0 for the  
disc number being recorded.  
Note: When making Sleep timer settings while doing Auto Edit recording, set the time so that there is  
enough leeway to finish the recording before the power goes out. If the time is set to about the length of  
the CD, the power may go out before recording finishes.

way, reset the timer settings.  
Setting the Recording Timer  
With the Recording Timer you can make a tape of a radio broadcast automatically whether or not you are  
home. For the timer to work correctly, you need to make sure of the following in addition to setting the  
time for the Tuner and Cassette Deck to come on:  
You can set the Recording Timer whether the Unit is on or off.  
The tape you want to record onto must be in Deck B.  
Procedure for Setting the Recording Timer  
1. Press TIMER/CLOCK repeatedly until “REC” appears on the display.  
The REC indicator flashes on the display.  
Each time you press the button, the timer setting indication changes as follows:  
DAILY = ON TIME (flashes) = REC = ON TIME (flashes) = Clock setting = Cancelled  
(current source) = (back to the beginning)  
Note: If the clock has not been set, even if TIMER/CLOCK is pressed you cannot select the Recording  
Timer.  
2. Press TIMER/CLOCK again.  
After “ON TIME” flashes for 2 seconds, it switches to the time setting display.  
3. Set the time you want the Unit to be turned on.  
Press 4 P. DOWN or ¢ P. UP on the MULTI CONTROL to adjust the hours and press SET. Then  
press 4 P. DOWN or ¢ P. UP to adjust the minutes and press SET .  
4. Set the time you want the Unit to be turned off.  
Press 4 P. DOWN or ¢ P. UP on the MULTI CONTROL to adjust the hours and press SET. Then  
press 4 P. DOWN or ¢ P. UP to adjust the minutes and press SET.  
5. Select the Recording band.  
Press 4 P. DOWN or ¢ P. UP on the MULTI CONTROL to select “TUNER FM” or “TUNER  
AM” and press SET.  
6. Select the preset channel for the station to be recorded.  
Press 4 P. DOWN or ¢ P. UP on the MULTI CONTROL to select.  
7. Press SET.  
The REC indicator stops flashing and remains lit. The on-time, off-time, and Recording band  
(“TUNER FM” or “TUNER AM”) appear on the display.  
Turn the power off if you made the timer settings with the power turned on.  
A few seconds before the on-time for the recording, the Unit automatically turns on the power. When  
the on-time comes, recording starts using the selected source. A few seconds before the off-time,  
“OFF” flashes on the display. When the off-time comes, the power is automatically turned off.  
Before the timer starts  
Check that tape direction is correct. This is important especially when Reverse Mode is off.  
Set Reverse Mode on if you want to record on both sides of the tape.  
The volume level is automatically set to 0 when Recording Timer starts.  
It is very easy, and can be very disappointing, to forget to put in a  
tape, or to accidentally leave a tape in Deck B you don’t want  
recorded over. Although this happens to almost everyone at one time  
or another, we hope it won’t happen to you!  
To change the Recording Timer setting  
Repeat the setting procedure from the beginning.

Setting the Sleep Timer  
Use the Sleep Timer to turn the Unit off after a certain number of minutes when it is playing. By setting  
this timer, you can fall asleep to music and know your Unit will turn off by itself rather than play all  
night.  
You can only set the Sleep Timer when the Unit is on and a source is playing.  
To set the SLEEP Timer, follow this procedure:  
1. With the Unit on and a source playing, press SLEEP on the Remote  
SLEEP  
Control.  
“SLEEP” appears on the display.  
2. Set the length of time you want the source to play before shutting  
off.  
Each time you press this button while the “SLEEP” indicator is flashing, it changes the number of  
minutes shown on the display in this sequence:  
= 10 = 20 = 30 = 60 = 90 = 120 = Cancelled = (back to the beginning)  
When the number of minutes you want shows on the display, just wait 5 seconds until the indicator stops  
flashing, and remains lit.  
The Unit is now set to turn off after the number of minutes you set.  
To change the Sleep Timer setting  
Press SLEEP until the number of minutes you want appears on the display.  
To cancel the Sleep Timer setting  
Press SLEEP until the SLEEP indicator goes out on the display.  
Turning off the Unit also cancels the Sleep Timer.

Timer Priority  
Since each timer can be set independently, you may wonder what happens if the settings overlap. Here are  
the priorities for each timer:  
The Recording Timer always has priority. This means that:  
If another timer is set to come on during a time when the Recording Timer is operating, the other  
timer just will not come on at all, so you will always get the entire program on tape.  
If the Recording Timer is set to come on while another timer is operating, the other timer will shut  
off 10 seconds before the Recording Timer is set to turn on, and the Recording Timer will then take  
over.  
If the Sleep Timer is set while the Daily Timer is operating, the Sleep Timer will take over.  
However, if the Daily Timer is set to come while the Sleep Timer is operating, the Daily Timer will  
take over.

it at the edges while pressing the centre  
hole lightly.  
Do not touch the shiny surface of the CD,  
or bend the CD.  
If the tape is loose, it may get  
stretched, cut, or caught in the cassette.  
Do not touch the tape surface.  
Put the CD back in its case after use to  
prevent warping.  
Be careful not to scratch the surface of the  
CD when placing it back in the case.  
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight,  
temperature extremes, and moisture.  
Do not store the tape:  
-
In dusty places  
-
-
-
-
In direct sunlight or heat  
In moist areas  
On a TV or speaker  
Near a magnet  
A dirty CD may not play correctly. If a CD  
does become dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth  
in a straight line from centre to edge.

If the Unit is brought directly from a  
cold to a warm place.  
Clean the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers using a cotton  
swab moistened with alcohol.  
Pinch-rollers  
Capstans  
Should this occur, the Unit may malfunc-  
tion. In this case, leave the Unit turned on  
for a few hours until the moisture evapo-  
rates, unplug the AC power cord, and then  
plug it in again.  
General Notes  
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your  
tapes, CDs, and the mechanism clean.  
Heads  
Store tapes and CDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets  
or on shelves.  
If the heads become magnetized, the Unit will produce noise  
or lose high frequencies.  
Keep the Cassette Deck’s tape doors and the CD trays closed  
when not in use.  
To demagnetize the heads, turn off the Unit, and use a head  
demagnetizer (available at electronics and record shops).
