USER MANUAL  
JTA-475  
PLEASE READ THIS USER MANUAL COMPLETELY BEFORE OPERATING THIS  
UNIT AND RETAIN THIS BOOKLET FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.  
DEAR JENSEN® CUSTOMER  
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only the start of your  
musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement  
your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's  
Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a  
safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or  
distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.  
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of  
sound. So what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard  
against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE !!  
This model is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product from moving  
when you operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from non-migrating rubber material  
specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your furniture. However  
certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives, or cleaning sprays may  
cause the rubber 'feet' to soften, and leave marks or a rubber residue on the furniture. To  
prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly recommend that you purchase small  
self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and home improvement centers  
everywhere, and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber 'feet' before you place the  
product on fine wooden furniture.  
COMPLIANCE WITH FCC REGULATIONS  
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two  
conditions:  
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and

(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause  
undesired operation.  
NOTE : This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital  
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable  
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,  
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with  
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no  
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause  
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the  
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of  
the following measures:  
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is  
connected.  
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.  
CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party  
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate  
the equipment.  
GETTING START  
SPEAKER CONNECTION  
1. Insert the speaker cable ends (exposed wires) into the terminals located on the back  
of the main unit by pushing down the lever of the left speaker terminal and then the  
7

right speaker terminal  
2. Connect the left speaker to the left speaker terminals with the red wire to L+ and the  
black wire to L -.  
3. Connect the right speaker to the right speaker terminals with the red wire to R+ and  
the black wire to R -.  
NOTE:  
Make sure that the power is turned off when connecting or disconnecting the speakers.  
Make sure that the speakers are connected to the correct terminals.  
CONNECTING THE AC POWER CORD  
After connecting the speakers unwind the AC power cord fully and connect it to any convenient  
household 120V~ 60Hz AC outlet.  
NOTE:  
The product is designed to operate on normal 120V~ 60Hz AC only. Connecting this system to  
any other power supply could result in damage to the unit which is not covered by your warranty.  
You will noted that this system is equipped with a polarized AC power plug having one blade  
wider than the other. This is a safety feature.  
If this plug does not fit into your existing AC outlet, do not try  
to defeat this safety feature by filling the wide blade to make  
it fit into your outlet. If this plug will not fit into your outlet, you  
probably have an outdated non-polarized AC outlet. You  
should have your outlet changed by a qualified licensed  
electrician.

before you put the headphone on. Then put the headphone on and gradually increase  
the volume to a comfortable listening level.  
CARE AND MAINTAINENCE  
1. Do not subject the unit to excessive force, shock, dust or extreme temperatures.  
2. Do not tamper with the internal components of the unit.  
3. Clean the unit with a dry cloth. Solvents or detergents should never be used.  
4. Avoid leaving the unit in direct sunlight or in hot, humid or dusty places.  
5. Keep the unit away from heating appliances and sources of electrical noise such as  
fluorescent lamps or motors.  
CASSETTE CARE  
Two common causes of trouble experienced when using cassettes are:  
1) Tape Jamming – Leading to uneven speed in playback, and  
2) Tape Tangling – Where the tape wraps itself around internal parts of the mechanism.  
To reduce the likelihood of these problems occurring, the following  
precautions should be observed:  
Check that there are no loose layers of tape visible through the  
cassette center window (see Fig. 1). Take up any loose layers,  
using a pencil or hexagonal barrelled ballpoint pen, before  
inserting the cassette into the machine (see Fig.2)  
If the cassette feels tight while performing operation shown (see  
Fig.2), the tape may be jamming due to ridges formed in the  
winding of the tape (visible through the center window). These  
may be removed, in most cases, by fast winding of the cassette  
from one end to the other and back again.  
Use only well-known brands of tape. Avoid use of C-120  
cassettes.  
15

Furthermore, do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, dust or oil, and do not touch the tape  
surfaces.  
COMPACT DISC CARE  
Handle the disc only by its edges. Never allow your fingers to come in contact with the shiny,  
unprinted side of the disc.  
Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers etc., to the disc label.  
Clean the disc periodically with soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents or adhesive  
cleaners to clean the disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.  
If disc skips or gets stuck on a section of the disc, it is probably dirty or damaged (scratched).  
When cleaning the disc, wipe in straight lines from the center of the disc to the edge of the  
disc. Never wipe in circular motions.  
To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc  
outs, holding it carefully by the edges.  
Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc's recorded surface with a soft  
cloth. Unlike conventional records. compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and  
microscopic debris so gently wiping with a soft cloth should remove most particles.  
CLEANING THE UNIT  
To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect your unit from the AC power source when  
cleaning.  
The finish on the unit may be cleaned with a dust cloth and cared for as other furniture, Use  
caution when cleaning and wiping the plastic parts.  
If the cabinet becomes dusty wipe it with a soft dry dust cloth. Do not use any wax or polish  
sprays on the cabinet.  
If the front panel becomes dirty or smudged with fingerprints it may be cleaned with a soft  
cloth slightly dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Never use abrasive cloths or  
polishes as these will damage the finish of your unit.  
CAUTION: Never allow any water or other liquids to get inside the unit while cleaning.
