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

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.

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:

• 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.

• 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:

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 warnings and cautions to prevent

damage or risk of fire/electric shock.

Also warns you against actions which prevent

you from obtaining the best possible

performance from the unit.

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.

tape down.

Locating the Beginning of a Song — Music

Scan

You can use Music Scan to locate the beginning of a song.

Music Scan searches for blank portions that usually separate

recorded songs, then plays the next song.

3 Close the cassette holder gently.

If you put cassettes in both decks A and B, the last deck

you have put a cassette into is selected.

To find the beginning of the current song

During play, press 1 / ¡ (1 / 4 or

¢ / ¡ on the remote control) in the

opposite direction to the tape play.

To operate the other deck, press TAPE A/B.

The tape direction indicator of the opposite

direction to the tape play starts flashing slowly.

4 Press TAPE 2 3.

The tape play starts and the tape direction

indicator (2 3) starts flashing slowly to

indicate the tape running direction.

• Each time you press the button, the tape

direction changes.

Searching stops automatically at the beginning of the current

song, and the current song starts automatically.

To find the beginning of the next song

During play, press 1 / ¡ (1 / 4 or

¢ / ¡ on the remote control) in the

same direction as the tape play.

The tape direction indicator of the same

direction as the tape play starts flashing

slowly and quickly alternately.

When the tape plays to the end, the deck automatically stops

if the Reverse Mode is not on. (See “To play both sides

repeatedly — Reverse Mode.”)

To stop during play, press 7

Searching stops automatically at the beginning of the next

song, and the next song starts automatically.

To operate the other deck, press TAPE A/B, then

TAPE 2 3.

Music Scan works by detecting a 4-second long blank

between each song, so it will not work well in the

following cases

To fast wind to the left or to the right, press 1 / ¡

(1 / 4 or ¢ / ¡ on the remote control) while the

tape is not running.

The tape direction indicator (2 3) starts flashing quickly on

the display.

• No blank at the beginning of a song.

• Noise (often caused by much use or poor quality dubbing) which

fills the blank.

• Long, very soft passages or pauses in a song.

To remove the cassette, press 0 EJECT for deck A or

EJECT 0 for deck B.

The use of the C-120 or thinner tape is not

recommended, since characteristic deterioration

may occur and this tape easily jams in the pinch-

rollers and the capstans.

Recording

IMPORTANT:

Recording a Tape on Deck B

• 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 VOLUME control and the

SUBWOOFER VOLUME control. Thus, during recording

you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to

without affecting the recording level.

1 Press EJECT 0 for deck B.

• While recording, you can hear sound modes through the

speakers or headphones. However, the sound is recorded

without these effects (see page 10).

• 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 Put in a recordable cassette, with the exposed

part of the tape down.

• You can use type I and II tapes for recording.

3 Close the cassette holder gently.

4 Check the tape direction of deck B.

• If the tape direction is not correct, press TAPE 2 3

twice then 7 to change the tape direction.

To protect your recording

Cassettes have two small tabs on

the back to prevent accidental

erasure or re-recording.

To protect your recording,

remove these tabs.

To re-record on a protected tape, cover the holes with

adhesive tape.

When using type II tape, be careful not to cover the holes

used to detect the tape type.

5 Start playing the source — FM, AM*, CD

player, deck A, or auxiliary equipment

connected to AUX jacks.

• When the source is CD, you can also use CD Direct

Recording (see page 22) and Auto Edit Recording (see

page 23).

• When the source is deck A, you can also use the

dubbing method. (See “Dubbing Tapes” on page 22.)

To keep the best recording and playback sound quality

If the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers of the cassette decks

become dirty, the following will occur:

• Impaired sound quality

* See “To record an AM station — Beat Cut” on page 22.

• Discontinuous sound

• Fading

• Incomplete erasure

• Difficulty in recording
