PRECAUTIONS REGARDING WS ANTENNA  
SHORT-CIRCUIT  
Features  
When there is a possible short-circuit in the WS  
antenna, the unit will exhibit the following.  
1. The WS antenna reception indicator and  
WorldSpace band indicator will occasionally  
disappear.  
2. When the WS band is selected, the WS band  
indicator and WS antenna reception indicator will  
blink.  
3. After broadcaster reception is initiated, the sound  
will be muted for about two seconds before  
being received.  
When these precautionary signs are noted, bring the  
unit to an authorized JVC dealer or service station.  
High quality digital sound  
• Listen to near CD-quality broadcasts from all over the  
world when listening to the WorldSpace network band.  
Detachable WorldSpace satellite antenna  
• Freely position the antenna for optimal signal reception  
using the supplied WS specified extension cable.  
Program and language search  
• Easily find the type of program you want to listen to and  
the language you want to hear (subject to availability).  
Digital synthesizer tuner  
• Receive AM (MW/SW) and FM radio stations.  
Additionally, the AUTO PRESET function can be used to  
automatically create a list of presets for frequencies that  
can be received in your area.  
LCD Display with back-light  
Handling Precautions  
• Read broadcaster information and display messages with  
ease. The back-light does not function when using  
batteries.  
1. Avoid installing in the following places.  
• Where it could be subject to vibrations.  
• Where it is excessively humid, such as in a  
bathroom.  
• Where it could be magnetized by a magnet or  
speaker.  
2. Do not place cassette tapes, etc. near the  
speakers.  
Safety Precautions  
Since there are magnets in the speakers, do not  
place tapes or magnetic cards on them as  
recorded data could be erased.  
Prevention of Electric Shocks, Fire Hazards, and  
Damage  
3. Keep this unit away from your TV.  
When this unit is used near a TV, the TV picture  
could be distorted. If this happens, move this unit  
away from the TV. If this does not correct the  
situation, avoid using this unit when the TV is  
turned on.  
1. Even when the  
(STANDBY/ON) button is set  
to standby, a very small current will flow. To save  
power and for safety reasons, when not using the  
unit for an extended period of time, disconnect  
the power cord from the AC outlet.  
2. Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.  
3. When unplugging from the wall outlet, always  
grasp and pull the plug, not the power cord.  
4. Consult your nearest dealer when damage,  
disconnection, or connect failure is found with  
the power cord.  
5. Do not bend sharply, pull or twist the cord.  
6. Do not modify the power cord in any manner.  
7. To avoid accidents, do not remove screws to  
disassemble the unit and do not touch anything  
inside the unit.  
4. Cleaning the cabinet  
If the cabinet gets dirty, wipe it with a soft dry  
cloth. Never use benzene or thinner as these  
could damage the surface finish.  
5. When listening with headphones  
• Do not listen at high volumes as it could  
damage your hearing.  
• For safety, do not drive while listening to this  
unit on headphones.  
6. Carrying handle  
• Do not raise or lower the carrying handle with  
the telescopic antenna extended, to avoid  
damaging the antenna. Place the carrying  
handle so that it does not interfere with  
operation.  
• After connecting the WS antenna cable, be sure  
to check that the cable is under and not over  
the carrying handle. If the cable is over the  
handle, using the handle to carry this unit may  
stretch the cable and cause the unit to  
malfunction.  
8. Do not insert any metallic objects into the unit.  
9. Unplug the power cord when there is a  
possibility of lightning.  
10. If water gets inside the unit, unplug the power  
cord from the outlet and consult your dealer.  
11. Do not block the ventilation holes of the unit so  
that heat can escape. Do not place the unit in a  
badly ventilated place.  
(STANDBY/ON) button  
When the power cord is connected to an AC  
outlet, the standby indicator is lit red, when the  
unit is in the standby mode (this indicator does  
not light when DC power is supplied). When the  
power is switched on, the indicator turns off  
showing that the power is on.  
When this unit is plugged into an AC outlet, it  
consumes a small current to back up the memory  
of the microprocessor, even when the  
(STANDBY/ON) is set to standby.

Notes:  
“LEARN 99” appears in the display and begins  
counting down while the unit automatically  
searches for the WorldSpace broadcaster range  
available in your area. When the search is  
complete, “LEARN” disappears from the display.  
If the search was successful, sound is produced  
and the WorldSpace broadcaster range for your  
area is set in memory.  
• When rotating the WS antenna, be sure to check that the  
antenna cable is not being pulled or stretched as that  
may cause the antenna to malfunction.  
• As glass and tall structures inhibit the transmission of the  
signal, try to avoid directing the antenna toward windows  
or tall buildings.  
• The signal indicator displays the reception of the overall  
satellite signal as opposed to actual broadcaster recep-  
tion. Because of this, even when the strongest signal  
indicator is shown, the sound may be intermittent. This is  
not a malfunction.  
Notes:  
• Pressing the WS button while the unit is searching ends  
the search and restores the unit to the previous operation  
mode.  
• If the satellite signal reception in your area is too weak or  
for some reason reception is being blocked, the signals  
will not be received and “NO BEAM” appears in the  
display. Reposition or redirect the WS antenna to  
improve reception.

this unit to automatically select the program in the  
language you normally use.  
To establish the UPL, it is first necessary to conduct a  
search for a program being broadcast in your  
language.  
Performing this search establishes the UPL. As many  
as three UPL can be stored in memory. When  
multiple language programming is encountered, the  
program in one of the established UPL will be  
automatically selected when available. UPL priority  
is based on the most recent language search  
performed.
