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 11.
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 starting heating 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:
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.
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.
Gives you information and hints you had better
know.
DO NOT disassemble the unit since there are no
user serviceable parts inside.
Precautions
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and
consult your dealer.
Installation
• 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 in the unit.
• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.
• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference
with TV.
DO NOT install the unit in a location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust or vibration.

Playing Back CDs (CD/CD-R/CD-RW)
This unit has been designed to playback the following CDs:
• CD (Audio CD)
Loading CDs
• CD-R (CD-Recordable)
• CD-RW (CD-ReWritable)
On the unit ONLY:
1 Press 0 for the disc tray
(CD1, CD2, and CD3) you
want to load a CD onto.
The unit automatically turns on and
the disc tray comes out.
Continued use of irregular shape CDs
(heart-shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage
the System.
2 Place a disc correctly on the circle of the disc

tray, with its label side up.
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 disc trays closed when not in use.
CORRECT
INCORRECT
• When using a CD single (8 cm), place it on the inner
circle of the disc tray.
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.”
3 Press the same 0 you have
pressed in step 1.
• You can play back 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.
The disc tray closes, and the
corresponding disc number lamp and
disc indicator light up on the display
(CD1, CD2, and CD3).
• 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.
4 Repeat steps 1 to 3 to place other CDs.
• 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 CDs.
When loading more than one CD continuously
When you press 0 for the next tray you want to place another CD
onto, the first disc tray automatically closes and then the next tray
comes out.
