Introduction  
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 the unit from the wall outlet, always pull  
on the plug, not the AC power cord.  
About This Manual  
This manual is organized as follows:  
• This manual mainly explains operations using the  
buttons on the remote control.  
You can use the buttons both on the remote control and  
on the unit for the same operations if they have the  
same or similar names (or marks), unless mentioned  
otherwise.  
• Basic and common information that is the same for many  
functions is grouped in one place, and is not repeated for  
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 “Basic and Common Operations”  
on pages 9 to 12.  
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet  
hands.  
Moisture condensation  
Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the unit in the  
following cases:  
• After starting to heat 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, then plug it in again.  
• The following symbols are used in this manual:  
Others  
Gives you warning and caution to prevent  
damage or risk of fire/electric shock.  
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit,  
unplug the AC power cord 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.  
In addition, we put information here about  
conditions which will prevent getting the best  
possible performance from the unit.  
Gives you information and hints you need to  
know.  
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.  
Precautions

• 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 buildup.  
• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.  
• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference  
with TV.

Playing Back Discs on the 5-CD Changer  
This unit has been designed to play back the following  
discs—CD, CD-R, and CD-RW.  
Loading Discs  
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW  
On the unit ONLY:  
User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD-  
ReWritable) can be played only if they are already  
“finalized.”  
• Usually you can play back your original CD-Rs or CD-  
RWs recorded in music CD format. However, sometimes  
they may not play depending on their characteristics or  
recording conditions.  
1 Press one of the disc eject buttons (CD10 –  
CD50) for the disc tray you want to load a  
disc onto.  
The unit automatically turns on and the selected disc tray  
comes out.  
CD1  
CD2  
CD3  
CD4  
CD5  
• Before playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions  
or cautions carefully.  
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play 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  
because the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for  
regular discs.  
2 Place a disc correctly on the circle of the disc  
tray, with its label side up.  
General notes  
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping  
your discs and the mechanism clean.  
• Store discs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on  
shelves.  
• Keep the unit’s disc trays closed when not in use.  
Continued use of irregular shape discs (heart-shape,  
octagonal, etc.) can damage the unit.

Recording  
IMPORTANT:  
Recording on a Tape  
• It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record  
pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the  
consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video  
recording, broadcast or cable program and in any  
literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic embodied  
therein.  
1 Insert a recordable cassette into the cassette  
compartment with the exposed part of the  
tape facing left.  
• See also page 20.  
• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is  
not affected by the other sound settings. Thus, during  
recording you can adjust the sound you are actually  
listening to without affecting the recording level.  
• If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static,  
the unit may be too close to a TV. Increase the distance  
between the TV and the unit.  
2 Check the recording direction for the tape.  
• If the tape direction is not correct, press 2 3 TAPE  
twice then 7 to change the tape direction.  
• If you want to record on both sides of a tape, see “To  
record on both sides—Reverse Mode” below.  
You can only use type I tape for recording.  
3 Start playing the source—FM, AM or  
auxiliary equipment connected to AUX/DVD  
jacks.  
DO NOT use type II and type IV tapes since the  
unit is not compatible with such tapes.  
• When recording from discs, see “Recording Discs—  
Disc Synchronized Recording” on page 22.  
The use of C-120 or longer tape is not  
recommended, since characteristic deterioration  
may occur and this tape easily jams in the pinch  
rollers and the capstans.

Maintenance  
To get the best performance of the unit, keep your discs, tapes and mechanism clean.  
General Notes  
Handling cassette tapes  
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping  
your discs, tapes and the mechanism clean.  
• Store discs and tapes in their cases, and keep them in  
cabinets or on shelves.  
• 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.  
Cleaning the unit  
• Stains on the unit  
• Be careful not to touch the tape surface.  
Should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the unit is heavily  
stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water-diluted neutral  
detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.  
• Since the unit may deteriorate in quality, become  
damaged or have its paint peel off, be careful about the  
following:  
– DO NOT wipe it with a rough cloth.  
– DO NOT wipe it too vigorously.  
– DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.  
– DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as an  
insecticide to it.  
• Avoid storing tapes in any of the following  
places:  
– In dusty places  
– In direct sunlight or heat  
– In moist areas  
– On a TV or speaker  
– Near a magnet  
– DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact  
with it for a long time.  
To keep the best recording and playback sound quality  
You need to clean the heads.  
• Clean the heads after every 10 hours of use with  
a wet-type head cleaning tape (available at electronic and  
audio shops).  
When the head becomes dirty, the following symptoms will  
occur:  
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.  
– Sound quality is reduced.  
– Sound level decreases.  
– Sound drops out.  
• Put the disc back in its case after use  
to prevent warping.  
• Do not play dirty or dusty tapes.  
• Do not touch the highly-polished head with any metallic or  
magnetic tools.  
• 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.  
To demagnetize the head  
Turn off the unit, and use a head demagnetizer (available at  
electronic and audio shops).

same or similar names (or marks), unless mentioned  
otherwise.  
• Basic and common information that is the same for many  
functions is grouped in one place, and is not repeated for  
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 “Basic and Common Operations”  
on pages 9 to 12.  
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet  
hands.  
Moisture condensation  
Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the unit in the  
following cases:  
• After starting to heat 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, then plug it in again.

user serviceable parts inside.  
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and

Playing Back Discs on the 5-CD Changer  
This unit has been designed to play back the following  
discs—CD, CD-R, and CD-RW.  
Loading Discs  
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW  
On the unit ONLY:  
User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD-  
ReWritable) can be played only if they are already  
“finalized.”  
• Usually you can play back your original CD-Rs or CD-  
RWs recorded in music CD format. However, sometimes  
they may not play depending on their characteristics or  
recording conditions.  
1 Press one of the disc eject buttons (CD10 –  
CD50) for the disc tray you want to load a  
disc onto.  
The unit automatically turns on and the selected disc tray  
comes out.  
CD1  
CD2  
CD3  
CD4  
CD5  
• Before playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions  
or cautions carefully.  
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play 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  
because the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for  
regular discs.  
2 Place a disc correctly on the circle of the disc  
tray, with its label side up.  
General notes  
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping  
your discs and the mechanism clean.  
• Store discs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on  
shelves.  
• Keep the unit’s disc trays closed when not in use.  
Continued use of irregular shape discs (heart-shape,  
octagonal, etc.) can damage the unit.

Recording  
IMPORTANT:  
Recording on a Tape  
• It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted  
material without the consent of the copyright owner.  
• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is  
not affected by the other sound settings. Thus, during  
recording you can adjust the sound you are actually  
listening to without affecting the recording level.  
• If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static,  
the unit may be too close to a TV. Increase the distance  
between the TV and the unit.  
1 Insert a recordable cassette into the cassette  
compartment with the exposed part of the  
tape facing left.  
• See also page 20.  
2 Check the recording direction for the tape.  
• If the tape direction is not correct, press 2 3 TAPE  
twice then 7 to change the tape direction.  
You can only use type I tape for recording.  
• If you want to record on both sides of a tape, see “To  
record on both sides—Reverse Mode” below.  
DO NOT use type II and type IV tapes since the  
unit is not compatible with such tapes.  
3 Start playing the source—FM, AM or  
auxiliary equipment connected to AUX/DVD  
jacks.  
The use of C-120 or longer tape is not  
recommended, since characteristic deterioration  
may occur and this tape easily jams in the pinch

Maintenance  
To get the best performance of the unit, keep your discs, tapes and mechanism clean.  
General Notes  
Handling cassette tapes  
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping  
your discs, tapes and the mechanism clean.  
• Store discs and tapes in their cases, and keep them in  
cabinets or on shelves.  
• 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.  
Cleaning the unit  
• Stains on the unit  
• Be careful not to touch the tape surface.  
Should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the unit is heavily  
stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water-diluted neutral  
detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.  
• Since the unit may deteriorate in quality, become  
damaged or have its paint peel off, be careful about the  
following:  
– DO NOT wipe it with a rough cloth.  
– DO NOT wipe it too vigorously.  
– DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.  
– DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as an  
insecticide to it.  
• Avoid storing tapes in any of the following  
places:  
– In dusty places  
– In direct sunlight or heat  
– In moist areas  
– On a TV or speaker  
– Near a magnet  
– DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact  
with it for a long time.  
To keep the best recording and playback sound quality  
You need to clean the heads.  
• Clean the heads after every 10 hours of use with  
a wet-type head cleaning tape (available at electronic and  
audio shops).  
When the head becomes dirty, the following symptoms will  
occur:  
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.  
– Sound quality is reduced.  
– Sound level decreases.  
– Sound drops out.  
• Put the disc back in its case after use  
to prevent warping.  
• Do not play dirty or dusty tapes.  
• Do not touch the highly-polished head with any metallic or  
magnetic tools.  
• 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.  
To demagnetize the head  
Turn off the unit, and use a head demagnetizer (available at  
electronic and audio shops).
