For questions that are not be answered in the manual, please contact your dealer.  
Features  
Here are some of the things that make your System powerful and easy to use.  
Easy operation  
o
The controls and operations have been redesigned to make them very easy to use, so you can spend  
your time listening to music.  
•

Great sound  
Triple Tray  
•
Programmed sound mode includes live surround effects D. CLUB, HALL, and STADIUM. It  
also includes S.E.A (Sound Effect Amplifier) effects ROCK, CLASSIC, and POP.  
CD changer function can operate 3 discs.

Sing Along

Digital Echo applied to your voice through the microphone gives you a professional sound.  
How This Manual Is Organized  
In this manual we have incorporated some special features:  
•
Basic information that is the same for many different functions is grouped in one place, and not  
repeated in each procedure. For instance, in the section on playing a CD, we do not repeat the  
information about setting the volume and the sound conditions, which are discussed in the Common  
Operations section.  
•
•
Name of buttons and controls are written in all capital letters like this: SOUND MODE.  
When we are talking about the Function, rather than the BUTTON or DISPLAY, only the first letter is  
capitalized.  
The manual has a table of contents to help you quickly look up what you want to know.  
We’ve enjoyed making this manual for you, and hope you will use it to enjoy the sound and many  
features built into your System.  
IMPORTANT CAUTIONS  
1. Installation of the Unit  
•
Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold. (Between 5°C and 35°C or  
41°F and 95°F.)  
•
•
Leave sufficient distance between the Unit and a TV.  
Do not use the Unit in a place subject to vibrations.  
2. Power cord  
•
•
Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!  
Some power (12 watts) is always consumed as long as the power cord is connected to the wall  
outlet.  
•
When unplugging the Unit from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the power cord.  
3. Malfunctions, etc.  
•
There are no user serviceable parts inside. If anything goes wrong, unplug the power cord and  
consult your dealer.  
•
Do not insert any metallic object into the Unit.

COMPU PLAY  
COMPU PLAY is JVC’s feature that lets you control the most frequently used functions of the System  
with a single touch.  
One Touch Operation starts playing a CD, turns on the radio, plays a tape, etc. with a single press of the  
play button for that function. What One Touch Operation does for you is to turn the power on, then start  
the function you have specified. If the Unit is not ready, such as no CD or tape in place, the Unit still  
powers on so you can insert a CD or tape.  
How One Touch Operation works in each case is explained in the section dealing with that function.

Music Scan  
To find the beginning of a music track during play, use the Music Scan function. Music Scan searches for  
blank portions that usually separate selections, then plays the next selection.  
To Find the Beginning of the Current Selection——————  
Press the 4 P.DOWN or ¢ P.UP button (or the 1 or ¡ button on  
the Remote Control) during play.  
o
Make sure that you press the 4 P.DOWN or ¢ P.UP button (or the 1 or ¡ button on the  
Remote Control) in the opposite direction to that in which the tape is playing. Searching stops at the  
beginning of the current selection, and the current selection starts automatically.  
P. DOWN  
P. UP  
To Find the Beginning of the Next Selection ———————  
Press the 4 P.DOWN or ¢ P.UP button (or the 1 or ¡ button on  
the Remote Control) during play.  
o
Make sure that you press the 4 P.DOWN or ¢ P.UP button (or the 1 or ¡ button on the  
Remote Control) in the same direction as that in which the tape is playing. Searching stops at the  
beginning of the next selection, and the next selection starts automatically.  
Music Scan works by detecting a 4-second long blank at the beginning of each selection,  
so it won’t work well if your tape has:  
•
•
•
No blank at the beginning of a selection .  
Noise (often caused by much use or poor quality dubbing) which fills the blank with noise.  
Long, very soft passages or pauses in a selection. The scan will detect these as 4-second long  
blanks. If this happens, just scan again until you reach the selection you want.

When the System is being used, the display shows other items as well.  
However, we have only shown the items described in this section.  
Recording onto a cassette from any of the sound sources is simple. Just place a tape in Deck B, have the  
source ready, make one or two settings, and you’re ready to record. For each source the procedure is a  
little bit different and now we’ll explain just what to do for each one. If you forget, just come back to the  
section which has the specific procedures you need. But first, here are a few things to make your record-  
ings better.  
Things To Know Before You Start Recording ———————  
o
It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of  
the copyright owner.  
o
When you want to record onto both sides of a tape, you can set Reverse mode on to do so. However,  
recording automatically stops after recording in the 2 direction in Reverse mode. Therefore, make  
sure that the tape direction is 3 when recording with Reverse mode on.  
The recording level, which is the volume at which the new tape is being made, is automatically set  
correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME control on the System. Thus, during recording you can  
adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.  
Two small tabs on the back of the cassette tape, one for side A and one for side B, can be removed to  
prevent accidental erasure or re-recording. To record on a cassette with the tabs removed, you must  
cover the holes with adhesive tape first.  
o
o
However, when a type II tape is used, only cover part of the hole as shown, since the other part of the  
hole is used to detect the tape type.  
o
o
When recording, you can hear Sound Mode effects through the speakers or headphones. However, the  
sound is recorded without Sound Mode effects.  
Type I and Type II tapes can be used for recording.  
20  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Note: At the start and end of cassette tapes, there is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto. Depend-  
ing on the recording source, the first part of the recording may be missing because of the leader. When  
recording CDs or radio broadcasts, to get the beginning of the recording on the tape, first wind on the  
leader before beginning recording.  
CAUTION: If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static,  
the Unit may be too close to a TV which was on during the recording.  
Either turn off the TV or increase the distance between the TV and the  
System.  
Standard Recording  
This is the basic method for recording any source. The System also has special ways for recording CD to  
tape, and tape to tape, which save you time and effort, as well as give you some special effects. However,  
when you need to add a selection to a tape you have made, or are combining selections from several  
sources on one tape, use the method described below; just substitute the source you want into this  
procedure, such as a tape in Deck A, a CD, or the Tuner. You can also record from auxiliary source with  
this procedure.  
To Record Any Sound Source To Tape ——————————  
Follow these steps to record from any sound source onto a tape in Deck B.  
Using the Unit  
1. Insert a blank or erasable tape into Deck B.  
2. Press the REVERSE MODE button if you want to record on both  
sides of the tape.  
Press the button until the “  
” or “  
” indicator is lit.  
•
When using Reverse Mode, insert the tape so that it will be recorded in the forwards 3 direction.  
3. Check the recording direction for the tape.  
Check that the Tape Direction indicator is the same as that for the tape in the tape deck. If the  
directions are different, press the 7 button after pressing the ¤ TAPE ‹ button to set the tape  
direction.  
•
When using Reverse Mode to record both sides of a tape, check that the Tape Direction indicator  
is in the forwards 3 direction. If the direction indicator is not in the forwards 3 direction, press  
the ¤ TAPE ‹ button then press the 7 button.  
4. Prepare the source, by, for example, tuning in a radio station,  
loading CDs, or turning on connected equipment.  
REC  
5. Press the REC START/STOP button.  
START/P  
The “REC” indicator light comes on and the System begins recording.

1. Insert a blank or erasable tape into Deck B.  
REC PAUSE  
2. Press the REC PAUSE button.  
The “REC” indicator blinks.  
3. Press the REVERSE MODE button on the Unit if you want to record  
on both sides of the tape.  
Press the button until the “  
” or “  
” indicator is lit.  
•
When using Reverse Mode, insert the tape so that it will be recorded in the forwards 3 direction.  
4. Prepare the source by, for example, tuning in a radio station, load-  
ing CDs, or turning on connected equipment.  
5. Press the ™ or £ button.  
Recording starts in the direction of the button pressed.  
•
When using Reverse Mode to record both sides of a tape, press the £ button.  
Notes for using Reverse Mode for recording  
When recording in Reverse Mode, the System automatically stops when it reaches the end of the reverse  
2 direction. To record on both sides of a tape, make sure that the recording direction for the tape inserted  
into Deck B is forwards 3, and that the Tape Direction indicator is also forwards 3, before you start  
recording.

If you make a recording with Reverse Mode on, the Unit will record the last song at the end of the  
first side at the beginning of the next side.  
To stop at any time during the recording process, press the 7 button.  
Note: When making SLEEP timer settings while doing CD Direct recording, set the time so that there is  
enough leeway to finish the recording before the power goes off. If the time is set to about the length of  
the CD, the power may go off before recording finishes.  
For CD Direct Recording using more than one disc, use a blank tape, If you use a prerecorded tape,  
prerecorded material may not be erased between newly-recorded tracks.  
Tape to Tape Recording (Dubbing)  
Recording from one tape to another is called dubbing.  
You can dub tapes simply, with just a single button.
