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 from the wall outlet, always pull the  
plug, not the AC power cord.  
About This Manual  
This manual is organized as follows:  
The manual mainly explains operations using the  
buttons and controls on the unit. You can also use the  
buttons on the remote control if they have the same or  
similar names (or marks) as those on the unit.  
If operation using the remote control is different from  
that using the unit, it is then explained.  
• Basic and common information that is the same for many  
functions is grouped in one place, and is not repeated in  
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 “Common Operations” on pages 9  
to 12.  
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet hands.  
Moisture condensation  
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in the  
following cases:  
• After heating starts in 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, and then plug it in again.  
• The following marks are used in this manual:  
Internal heat  
A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel to prevent heat  
buildup inside the unit.  
Gives you warnings and cautions to prevent  
from damage or risk of fire/electric shock.  
Also gives you information which is not good  
for obtaining the best possible performance  
from the unit.  
For safety, observe the following carefully:  
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the  
unit. Poor ventilation could overheat and damage  
the unit.  
• DO NOT block the cooling fan and the ventilation  
openings or holes. If they are blocked by a  
newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be  
able to get out.  
Gives you information and hints you had better  
know.  
Precautions  
Installation  
• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor  
too cold—between 5˚C and 35˚C.  
• Install the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to  
prevent internal heat buildup in the unit.  
• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.  
• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference  
with TV.  
Others  
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit,  
unplug the unit 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.  
DO NOT disassemble the unit since there are no  
user serviceable parts inside.  
DO NOT install the unit in a location near heat  
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,  
excessive dust or vibration.  
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and  
consult your dealer.

Disc Play Introduction  
Continued  
This unit has been designed to play back the following discs:  
• CD (Audio CD)  
• CD-R (CD-Recordable)  
MP3 Introduction  
What is MP3?  
• CD-RW (CD-ReWritable)  
MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1  
(or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format  
with a data compression ratio of 1:10 (128 kbps*). By using  
MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contains 10 times as  
much data volume as a regular CD can.  
* Bit rate is the average number of bits that one second of audio  
data will consume. The unit uses kbps (1,000 bits per second). To  
get a better audio quality, choose a higher bit rate. The most  
popular bit rate for encoding (recording) is 128 kbps.  
• MP3 disc (MP3 files recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW)  
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW  
User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs  
(CD-ReWritable) can be played back only if they are already  
“finalized.”  
You can play back your original CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded  
in music CD format or in MP3 format. (However, they may  
not be played back depending on their characteristics or  
recording conditions.)  
• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their  
instructions or cautions carefully.  
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back 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 caused  
by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for  
regular discs.  
MP3 disc structure  
On an MP3 disc, each song (material) is recorded as a file.  
Files are grouped into a directory (or folder). Directories can  
also include other directories, creating hierarchical directory  
layers. (See “How are MP3 files recorded and played back?”  
on page 15.)  
This unit manages files and directories as “tracks” and “groups.”  
This unit can recognize up to 255 tracks per disc, up to 64 groups  
per disc. The unit ignores those exceeding the maximum  
numbers and cannot play them back.  
About the CD ready lamps  
Each CD ready lamp corresponds to the disc tray of the  
same number.  
About MP3 discs  
• When and why they light up?  
• MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout time.  
(It varies due to the complexity of the recording configuration.)  
• When making an MP3 disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 as  
the disc format.  
• This unit does not support multisession recording.  
• This unit can play MP3 files only with the following file extensions—  
“.MP3,” “.Mp3,” “.mP3,” and “.mp3.”  
• Files other than MP3 are ignored.  
• Some MP3 discs may not be played back because of their disc  
characteristics or recording conditions.  
– When you turn on the unit for the first time after  
plugging into a wall outlet, all CD ready lamps (CD1  
READY, CD2 READY, and CD3 READY) light up.  
From the next time on, CD ready lamp(s) light(s) up  
according to the previous condition.  
– Each time you press the disc tray open/close buttons  
0 (CD1, CD2, and CD3), the corresponding CD  
ready lamp lights up.  
• When and why they go off?  
Only when the unit detects there is no disc loaded on a  
certain tray, the corresponding CD ready lamp goes off.  
(“NO DISC 1,” “NO DISC 2,” or “NO DISC 3”  
appears on the display.)  
• When and why they flash?  
The corresponding CD ready lamp flashes during  
playback and pause.  
If the loaded disc is an MP3 disc  
The corresponding CD ready lamp and the MP3 indicator will  
light up.

How are MP3 files recorded and played back?  
MP3 “tracks (files)” can be recorded in “group”—folders or  
directories, in PC terminology.  
During recording, the tracks and groups can be arranged  
similarly to the tracks and folders/directories of computer  
data. “Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every track and  
group can be linked to the root.  
MP3 group/track configuration:  
Hierarchy  
Root  
1
In compliance with ISO 9660, the maximum allowable depth  
of nested directories—so called “hierarchy”—is eight  
(inclusive of the root).  
2
*
Playback order, track search order, and group search order of  
the MP3 tracks recorded on a disc are determined by the  
writing (or encoding) application; therefore, playback order  
may be different from the one you have intended while  
recording the groups and the tracks.

The illustration shows an ordinary example of how MP3  
tracks are recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW, how they are  
played back and how they are searched for on this unit.

• The numbers in circles next to the MP3 tracks ( ) indicate  
the playback order and search order of the MP3 tracks.  
Normally this unit plays back MP3 tracks in the recorded  
order.

*
• The numbers inside the groups indicate the playback order  
and search order of the groups on an MP3 disc. Normally  
this unit plays back MP3 tracks in the groups in the  
recorded order.  
The groups marked with asterisk (*) will be skipped since  
they do not include any MP3 tracks.

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 and the mechanism clean.  
• Store discs 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.  
• Keep the unit’s disc trays closed when not in use.  
• Be careful not to touch the tape surface.  
Handling discs  
• Remove the disc from its case by  
holding it at the edge while pressing  
the center hole lightly.  
• Avoid the following places to store the  
tape:  
• Do not touch the shiny surface of the  
disc, or bend the disc.  
— In dusty places  
— In direct sunlight or heat  
— In moist areas  
• Put the disc back in its case after use  
to prevent warping.  
— Near a magnet  
• 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.  
Cleaning the unit  
• Stains on the unit  
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.  
To clean the disc  
Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a  
straight line from center to edge.  
• Since the unit may deteriorate in quality, become  
damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the  
following.  
— 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  
insecticides to it.  
— DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in  
contact with it for a long time.  
Continued use of irregular shape discs  
(heart-shape, octagonal, etc.) can  
damage the unit.  
DO NOT use any solvent—such as conventional  
record cleaner, spray, thinner, or benzine—to clean  
the disc.
