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 9  
to 11.  
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.

with vinyl, remove the vinyl by twisting  
it as shown in the diagram.  
1 Press and hold the clamp of the speaker  
terminals on the rear of the unit.  
2 Insert the end of the speaker cord into the

Match the polarity (colours) of the speaker terminals: Red  
(+) to red (+) and black (–) to black (–).

3 Release your finger from the clamp to close  
the speaker terminals.  
Speaker Setting For A/V Combination  
To connect an outdoor AM antenna  
SP-MXSK3 and SP-MXSK1 have a magnetically-shielded design  
for placement adjacent to TV’s and monitors without causing color  
aberrations. However, color may be affected by the way of installing  
the speaker system. Therefore, please take note of the following:  
1. When placing these speakers near aTV set, turn off TV’s main  
power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers.  
Wait at least 30 minutes after the system is installed before  
turning on the TV’s power.  
When reception is poor, connect a single vinyl-covered wire  
to the AM EXT terminal and extend it horizontally. The AM  
loop antenna must remain connected.  
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.  
2. If another speaker system has been set up near the TV set, that  
system may cause color unevenness in the TV’s picture.  
3. In spite of the shielded design of these speakers, some of the  
TV types may be affected by them. If this happens, move the  
speakers to a short distance away from the TV set.  
IMPORTANT: Use only speakers with the same speaker  
impedance as indicated by the speaker terminals on the  
rear of the unit.

• Connect the right rear speaker to the RIGHT jack.  
• Connect the left rear speaker to the LEFT jack.  
How to install Surround Speakers  
Use a screwdriver to rotate the voltage selector so the voltage  
number the voltage mark is pointing at is the same as the  
voltage where you are plugging in the unit. (See the back  
cover page.)  
• This equipment is not magnet-proof. If it is placed near a  
TV set, color on a TV screen may become uneven.  
Therefore, when installing, locate the speaker at sufficient  
distance away from the TV set.  
• When setting the speaker on a high shelf, be sure to fix  
them to the shelf by using metal braces: this is a precaution  
to avoid the speakers from falling off due to shelf  
trembling.  
DO NOT plug in before setting the voltage selector  
on the rear of the unit and all connection  
procedures are complete.  
CAUTION:  
The speakers are designed to be attached on the wall. Please  
have the qualified personnel to attach the speakers on the wall.  
DO NOT hang the speakers by yourself to avoid the unexpected  
danger whereby the speakers fall off due to incorrect attachment  
or unstable wall.  
Now, you can plug in the AC power cord.  
When connecting the AC power cord to a wall outlet, the unit  
automatically starts display demonstration.  
• If the wall outlet does not match the AC plug, use the  
supplied AC plug adaptor.  
Connecting Other Equipment  
IMPORTANT: Be sure to check all connections to be done  
before plugging the AC power cord into a wall outlet.  
You can connect both analog and digital equipment.  
• DO NOT connect any equipment while the power  
is on.  
• DO NOT plug in any equipment until all  
connections are complete.

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 9  
to 11.  
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.

1 Connect the AM loop antenna to the AM  
LOOP terminals as illustrated.  
• If the AM loop antenna wire is covered  
with vinyl, remove the vinyl by twisting  
it as shown in the diagram.  
1 Press and hold the clamp of the speaker  
terminals on the rear of the unit.  
2 Insert the end of the speaker cord into the  
terminal.  
Match the polarity (colours) of the speaker terminals: Red  
(+) to red (+) and black (–) to black (–).  
2 Turn the AM loop antenna until you have the  
best reception.  
3 Release your finger from the clamp to close  
the speaker terminals.  
Speaker Setting For A/V Combination  
To connect an outdoor AM antenna  
SP-MXSK3 and SP-MXSK1 have a magnetically-shielded design  
for placement adjacent to TV’s and monitors without causing color  
aberrations. However, color may be affected by the way of installing  
the speaker system. Therefore, please take note of the following:  
1. When placing these speakers near aTV set, turn off TV’s main  
power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers.  
Wait at least 30 minutes after the system is installed before  
turning on the TV’s power.  
When reception is poor, connect a single vinyl-covered wire  
to the AM EXT terminal and extend it horizontally. The AM  
loop antenna must remain connected.  
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.  
2. If another speaker system has been set up near the TV set, that  
system may cause color unevenness in the TV’s picture.  
3. In spite of the shielded design of these speakers, some of the  
TV types may be affected by them. If this happens, move the  
speakers to a short distance away from the TV set.  
IMPORTANT: Use only speakers with the same speaker  
impedance as indicated by the speaker terminals on the  
rear of the unit.

Adjusting the Voltage Selector  
For Model CA-MXSK3  
To connect surround speakers.  
Before plugging in the unit, set the correct voltage for your  
area with the voltage selector on the rear of the unit.

Voltage mark  
• Connect the right rear speaker to the RIGHT jack.  
• Connect the left rear speaker to the LEFT jack.  
How to install Surround Speakers  
Use a screwdriver to rotate the voltage selector so the voltage  
number the voltage mark is pointing at is the same as the  
voltage where you are plugging in the unit. (See the back  
cover page.)  
• This equipment is not magnet-proof. If it is placed near a  
TV set, color on a TV screen may become uneven.  
Therefore, when installing, locate the speaker at sufficient  
distance away from the TV set.  
• When setting the speaker on a high shelf, be sure to fix  
them to the shelf by using metal braces: this is a precaution  
to avoid the speakers from falling off due to shelf  
trembling.  
DO NOT plug in before setting the voltage selector  
on the rear of the unit and all connection  
procedures are complete.  
CAUTION:  
The speakers are designed to be attached on the wall. Please  
have the qualified personnel to attach the speakers on the wall.  
DO NOT hang the speakers by yourself to avoid the unexpected  
danger whereby the speakers fall off due to incorrect attachment  
or unstable wall.  
Now, you can plug in the AC power cord.  
When connecting the AC power cord to a wall outlet, the unit  
automatically starts display demonstration.  
• If the wall outlet does not match the AC plug, use the  
supplied AC plug adaptor.  
Connecting Other Equipment  
IMPORTANT: Be sure to check all connections to be done  
before plugging the AC power cord into a wall outlet.  
You can connect both analog and digital equipment.  
• DO NOT connect any equipment while the power  
is on.  
• DO NOT plug in any equipment until all  
connections are complete.  
Cancelling the Display Demonstration  
To connect an analog component  
On the unit ONLY:  
Be sure that the plugs of the audio cords are coloured: White

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 9  
to 11.  
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.

LOOP terminals as illustrated.  
• If the AM loop antenna wire is covered  
with vinyl, remove the vinyl by twisting  
it as shown in the diagram.  
1 Press and hold the clamp of the speaker  
terminals on the rear of the unit.  
2 Insert the end of the speaker cord into the

Speaker Setting For A/V Combination  
To connect an outdoor AM antenna  
SP-MXSK1 have a magnetically-shielded design for placement  
adjacent to TV’s and monitors without causing color aberrations.  
However, color may be affected by the way of installing the speaker  
system. Therefore, please take note of the following:  
When reception is poor, connect a single vinyl-covered wire  
to the AM EXT terminal and extend it horizontally. The AM  
loop antenna must remain connected.  
1. When placing these speakers near aTV set, turn off TV’s main  
power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers.  
Wait at least 30 minutes after the system is installed before  
turning on the TV’s power.  
2. If another speaker system has been set up near the TV set, that  
system may cause color unevenness in the TV’s picture.  
3. In spite of the shielded design of these speakers, some of the  
TV types may be affected by them. If this happens, move the  
speakers to a short distance away from the TV set.  
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.

Disc Rotation indicator  
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.  
• CD-RWs may require a longer read-out time. This is  
caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower  
than for regular CDs.
