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.  
Moisture condensation  
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in the  
following cases:  
About This Manual  
This manual is organized as follows:  
• After starting heating in the room  
• In a damp room  
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.  
• 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.  
• 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  
10 to 12.  
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.  
• The following marks are used in this manual:  
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.  
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.  
Gives you information and hints you had better  
know.  
Which compact discs can be used?  
Many types of compact discs are sold for a variety of uses.  
The player can play the following compact discs:  
Precautions  
Video CD discs both with and without PBC

• 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.

3 Close the speaker terminals.  
For better reception of both FM and AM  
• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other  
terminals and connecting cords.  
• Keep the antennas away from metallic parts of the unit,  
connecting cords, and the AC power cord.  
IMPORTANT: Use only speakers with the same speaker  
impedance as indicated by the speaker terminals on the  
rear of the unit.  
• DO NOT connect more than one speaker to  
each speaker terminal.  
• DO NOT push or pull the speakers as this will  
damage the foot spacers at the bottom of the

General Notes  
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.  
2 Place a disc correctly on the circle of the disc  
tray, with its label side up.  
• Keep the system’s disc trays closed when not in use.  
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 playback your original CD-Rs or CD-RWs  
recorded in music CD 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 the player’s lens is dirty.
