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

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.

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.

danger whereby the speakers fall off due to incorrect attachment
or unstable wall.

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.

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.

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,

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.

• 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.
