• Do not modify the power cord in any manner.  
• Do not remove screws to disassemble the unit and do  
not touch anything inside the unit to avoid accidents.  
• Do not insert any metallic objects into the unit.  
• Unplug the power cord when there is a possibility of  
lightning.  
• If water gets inside the unit, unplug the power cord  
from the outlet and consult your dealer.  
• Do not block the ventilation holes of the unit so that  
heat can escape.  
Prevention of Electric Shocks, Fire Hazards  
and Damages  
• Even when the STANDBY/ON button is set to  
STANDBY, a very small current will flow. When the  
unit is turned on, the display window lights in blue.  
When the unit is in standby mode, the display window  
turns off. (Note, however, that the display window does  
not light even when the unit is turned on if the unit is  
operated on batteries.) To save power and for safety  
when not using the unit for an extended period of time,  
disconnect the power cord from the household AC  
outlet.  
• Do not install the unit in a badly ventilated place.  
• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.  
• When unplugging from the wall outlet, always grasp  
and pull the plug, not the power cord.  
• Consult your nearest dealer when damage,  
disconnection, or contact failure is found with the cord.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS  
5 Safety mechanism  
Do not use this unit in direct sunlight or leave the unit  
in a closed automobile (or yacht, etc.) where it would  
be exposed to high temperatures above 40°C (104°F).  
The unit incorporates a safety interlock mechanism  
which switches off the laser beam when the disc door  
is opened.  
6 Do not place magnetic objects such as  
cassette tapes near the speakers.  
1 Avoid using the unit in the following places:  
• Where the temperature may become excessively  
high or low; the recommended temperature range  
is 5°C (41°F) and 35°C (95°F).  
Since the speakers contain magnets inside, do not  
place cassette tapes or magnetic cards nearby as  
recorded data could be erased.  
• Where it could be subject to vibrations.  
• Where it is excessively humid, such as in a  
bathroom.  
• Where it could be magnetized by a magnet or  
speaker.  
7 Keep the unit away from the TV.  
When the unit is used near a TV, the TV picture could  
be distorted. If this happens, move the unit away from  
the TV. If this does not correct the situation, avoid  
using the unit when the TV is turned on.  
2 Pay attention to dust.  
8 Cleaning the cabinet  
Be sure to close the disc door so that the lens is not  
contaminated by dust. Do not touch the lens.  
If the cabinet gets dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.  
Never use benzine or thinner as these could damage  
the surface finish.  
3 Condensation  
Condensation may occur in the following cases, in  
which the unit may not operate correctly:  
• The unit is in a room where a heater has just been  
switched on.  
• The unit is in a place where there is smoke or high  
humidity.  
• The unit has just moved from a cold place to a  
warm room.  
In these cases, set the STANDBY/ON button to ON  
and wait one or two hours before use.  
9 When listening with headphones  
• Do not listen at high volumes as it could damage  
your hearing.  
• For safety, do not drive while listening with  
headphones.  
10 Carrying handle  
Do not raise or lower the carrying handle with the  
telescopic antenna extended, to avoid damaging the  
antenna. Position the carrying handle so that it does  
not interfere with operation.  
4 Volume control  
Compact discs produce very little noise compared  
with analog records. If you adjust the volume by  
listening to the noise as you do with analog records,  
the speakers could be damaged by a sudden blast of  
sound when playback starts. Therefore, turn down  
the volume before starting and adjust it as required  
while playing a CD.

POWER SUPPLY  
Checking batteries  
Operation on household AC  
The AC power cord provided with this unit has one-way  
connections to prevent electric shock. Refer to the figure  
below for correct connection.  
When the tape speed or output sound level decreases, or  
CD playback becomes intermittent, replace all batteries  
with fresh ones.  
When making an important recording, use new batteries  
(preferably alkaline batteries with a longer service life)  
to avoid any possible failure.  
AC IN  
For better battery usage  
• Continuous operation of the unit causes the battery  
power to be consumed quicker than noncontinuous  
operation.  
• Operation of the unit in a cold place causes the battery  
power to be consumed more quickly than in a warm  
place.  
CAUTIONS:  
• Use only with the JVC power cord provided with this  
unit to avoid malfunction or damage to the unit.  
Remove batteries when using the power cord.  
• Be sure to unplug the power cord from the outlet when  
going out or when the unit is not in use for an extended  
period of time.  
CAUTIONS:  
• When not using the unit for a long time (more than  
two weeks) or when using the household AC, remove  
the batteries to avoid a malfunction or damage to the  
unit.  
• When the JVC power cord provided with this unit is  
connected, the power is automatically switched from  
the batteries to the household AC even when the  
batteries are loaded.  
Operation on batteries  
However, remove the batteries when using the power  
cord.  
Loading batteries  
1 Open the battery cover.  
Pull the battery cover toward you while pressing the  
sections marked by the arrows.  
CAUTIONS WHEN USING BATTERIES:  
When batteries are used incorrectly, it may result in  
the leakage of chemicals from the batteries or they  
may explode. The following care should be taken:  
• Check that the positive ª and negative ·  
terminals of the batteries are positioned correctly  
and load them as shown in the figure on the left.  
• Do not mix new and old batteries together, or mix  
different types of batteries.  
2 Insert six R20 (SUM-1)/D (13D)-size batteries.  
Be sure to insert the batteries with the ª and ·  
terminals positioned correctly.  
• Do not try to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.  
• Remove the batteries when the unit is not to be used  
for an extended period of time.  
If chemicals from the batteries come in contact with  
your skin, wash them off immediately with water. If  
chemicals leak onto the unit, clean the unit  
completely.

PLAYING COMPACT DISCS  
Notes on compact discs  
This unit has been designed only to play back the  
following CDs.  
• Digital audio CD  
• Recordable digital audio CD (CD-R)  
• Rewritable digital audio CD (CD-RW)  
Storage  
• After removing a disc from the unit, be sure to put it  
back in its case.  
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high  
temperatures from a heater, etc., high humidity or dust.  
Cleaning discs  
Before loading a disc, wipe off any dust, dirt or  
fingerprints with a soft, dry cloth. Discs should be  
cleaned by wiping radially, from the center to edge.  
Never use thinner, benzine, record cleaner or antistatic  
spray.  
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW  
• Removing the disc from its storage case and  
replacing it  
You can play back finalized CD-R or CD-RW recorded  
in music CD format or in MP3 format. (If a CD-RW  
has been recorded in a different format, erase all the data  
on the CD-RW completely before recording on it.)  
• You can play back CD-R or CD-RW in music CD  
format like an audio CD.  
• Some CD-R or CD-RW may not be played back on  
this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage  
or stain on them, or if the player lens is dirty.  
• The reflection factor of CD-RW is lower than that of  
other CDs, possibly causing CD-RW to take longer  
time to read.  
Press the center and lift out.  
Notes for MP3 files  
• The unit can only recognize files with “MP3” or “mp3”  
as the extensions, which can be in any combination of  
upper and lower cases. The file name needs to be up to  
20 characters.  
Press to secure the disc.  
• This unit recognizes files and folders on a disc in the  
following conditions:  
– up to 640 MP3 files,  
• Handling  
– up to 256 folders (including the root folder),  
– up to 8th layers (including the root folder).  
• It is recommended that you record your material at a  
44.1-kHz sampling rate, using the 128-kbps data  
transfer rate.  
Incorrect  
• Some MP3 files or discs may not be played back  
because of their characteristics or recording conditions.  
• MP3 discs require a longer readout time than normal  
discs because of the complexity of the folder/file  
configuration.  
• Cleaning  
• MP3i and MP3 Pro are not available.  
• The title, artist name and album name can be displayed  
as the ID3 TAG (ID3v1/1.1) information.  
Correct  
Incorrect  
Handling discs  
Since dirty, damaged or warped discs could damage the  
unit, care should be taken of the following:  
• Do not touch the reflective recorded surface.  
• Do not stick or write anything on the label side.  
• Do not bend discs.

To avoid these, clean the heads, capstan and pinch roller  
every 10 hours of use.  
Head (recording/playback)  
Erasure head  
Pinch roller  
Capstan  
Blower  
Lens  
Open the cassette holder. Clean the heads, capstan  
and pinch roller.  
For effective cleaning, use a cleaning kit available at an  
audio store.  
After cleaning, make sure that the cleaning fluid has dried  
completely before loading a cassette.  
Cautions:  
• Keep magnets and metallic objects away from the  
head. If the head becomes magnetized, noise will  
increase and the sound will deteriorate.  
• Demagnetize the recording/playback head every 20 to  
30 hours of use with a head demagnetizer available at  
an audio store. When demagnetizing the head, the unit  
should be turned off.  
As the erasure head of the unit is of magnetic type,  
do not demagnetize it.  
• Do not use anything other than alcohol for cleaning.  
Thinner and benzine will damage the rubber pinch  
roller.

• Unplug the power cord when there is a possibility of  
lightning.  
• If water gets inside the unit, unplug the power cord  
from the outlet and consult your dealer.  
• Do not block the ventilation holes of the unit so that  
heat can escape.  
Prevention of Electric Shocks, Fire Hazards  
and Damages  
• Even when the STANDBY/ON button is set to  
STANDBY, a very small current will flow. When the  
unit is turned on, the display window lights in blue.  
When the unit is in standby mode, the display window  
turns off. (Note, however, that the display window does  
not light even when the unit is turned on if the unit is

when not using the unit for an extended period of time,  
disconnect the power cord from the household AC  
outlet.  
• Do not install the unit in a badly ventilated place.  
• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS  
5 Safety mechanism  
Do not use this unit in direct sunlight or leave the unit  
in a closed automobile (or yacht, etc.) where it would  
be exposed to high temperatures above 40°C.  
The unit incorporates a safety interlock mechanism  
which switches off the laser beam when the disc door  
is opened.  
6 Do not place magnetic objects such as  
cassette tapes near the speakers.  
1 Avoid using the unit in the following places:  
• Where the temperature may become excessively  
high or low; the recommended temperature range  
is 5°C and 35°C.  
Since the speakers contain magnets inside, do not  
place cassette tapes or magnetic cards nearby as  
recorded data could be erased.  
• Where it could be subject to vibrations.  
• Where it is excessively humid, such as in a  
bathroom.  
• Where it could be magnetized by a magnet or  
speaker.  
7 Keep the unit away from the TV.  
When the unit is used near a TV, the TV picture could  
be distorted. If this happens, move the unit away from  
the TV. If this does not correct the situation, avoid  
using the unit when the TV is turned on.  
2 Pay attention to dust.  
8 Cleaning the cabinet  
Be sure to close the disc door so that the lens is not  
contaminated by dust. Do not touch the lens.  
If the cabinet gets dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.  
Never use benzine or thinner as these could damage  
the surface finish.  
3 Condensation  
Condensation may occur in the following cases, in  
which the unit may not operate correctly:  
• The unit is in a room where a heater has just been  
switched on.  
• The unit is in a place where there is smoke or high  
humidity.  
• The unit has just moved from a cold place to a  
warm room.  
In these cases, set the STANDBY/ON button to ON  
and wait one or two hours before use.  
9 When listening with headphones  
• Do not listen at high volumes as it could damage  
your hearing.  
• For safety, do not drive while listening with  
headphones.  
10 Carrying handle  
Do not raise or lower the carrying handle with the  
telescopic antenna extended, to avoid damaging the  
antenna. Position the carrying handle so that it does  
not interfere with operation.  
4 Volume control  
Compact discs produce very little noise compared  
with analog records. If you adjust the volume by  
listening to the noise as you do with analog records,  
the speakers could be damaged by a sudden blast of  
sound when playback starts. Therefore, turn down  
the volume before starting and adjust it as required  
while playing a CD.

POWER SUPPLY  
Checking batteries  
Operation on household AC  
The AC power cord provided with this unit has one-way  
connections to prevent electric shock. Refer to the figure  
below for correct connection.  
When the tape speed or output sound level decreases, or  
CD playback becomes intermittent, replace all batteries  
with fresh ones.  
When making an important recording, use new batteries  
(preferably alkaline batteries with a longer service life)  
to avoid any possible failure.  
AC IN  
For better battery usage  
• Continuous operation of the unit causes the battery  
power to be consumed quicker than noncontinuous  
operation.  
• Operation of the unit in a cold place causes the battery  
power to be consumed more quickly than in a warm  
place.  
CAUTIONS:  
• Use only with the JVC power cord provided with this  
unit to avoid malfunction or damage to the unit.  
Remove batteries when using the power cord.  
• Be sure to unplug the power cord from the outlet when  
going out or when the unit is not in use for an extended  
period of time.  
CAUTIONS:  
• When not using the unit for a long time (more than  
two weeks) or when using the household AC, remove  
the batteries to avoid a malfunction or damage to the  
unit.  
• When the JVC power cord provided with this unit is  
connected, the power is automatically switched from  
the batteries to the household AC even when the  
batteries are loaded.  
Operation on batteries  
However, remove the batteries when using the power  
cord.  
Loading batteries  
1 Open the battery cover.  
Pull the battery cover toward you while pressing the  
sections marked by the arrows.  
CAUTIONS WHEN USING BATTERIES:  
When batteries are used incorrectly, it may result in  
the leakage of chemicals from the batteries or they  
may explode. The following care should be taken:  
• Check that the positive ª and negative ·  
terminals of the batteries are positioned correctly  
and load them as shown in the figure on the left.  
• Do not mix new and old batteries together, or mix  
different types of batteries.  
2 Insert six R20 (SUM-1)/D (13D)-size batteries.  
Be sure to insert the batteries with the ª and ·  
terminals positioned correctly.  
• Do not try to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.  
• Remove the batteries when the unit is not to be used  
for an extended period of time.

Notes on compact discs  
This unit has been designed only to play back the  
following CDs.  
• Digital audio CD  
• Recordable digital audio CD (CD-R)  
• Rewritable digital audio CD (CD-RW)  
Storage  
• After removing a disc from the unit, be sure to put it  
back in its case.  
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high  
temperatures from a heater, etc., high humidity or dust.  
Cleaning discs  
Before loading a disc, wipe off any dust, dirt or  
fingerprints with a soft, dry cloth. Discs should be  
cleaned by wiping radially, from the center to edge.  
Never use thinner, benzine, record cleaner or antistatic  
spray.  
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW  
• Removing the disc from its storage case and  
replacing it  
You can play back finalized CD-R or CD-RW recorded  
in music CD format or in MP3 format. (If a CD-RW  
has been recorded in a different format, erase all the data  
on the CD-RW completely before recording on it.)  
• You can play back CD-R or CD-RW in music CD  
format like an audio CD.  
• Some CD-R or CD-RW may not be played back on  
this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage  
or stain on them, or if the player lens is dirty.  
• The reflection factor of CD-RW is lower than that of  
other CDs, possibly causing CD-RW to take longer  
time to read.  
Press the center and lift out.  
Notes for MP3 files  
• The unit can only recognize files with “MP3” or “mp3”  
as the extensions, which can be in any combination of  
upper and lower cases. The file name needs to be up to  
20 characters.  
Press to secure the disc.  
• This unit recognizes files and folders on a disc in the  
following conditions:  
– up to 640 MP3 files,  
• Handling  
– up to 256 folders (including the root folder),  
– up to 8th layers (including the root folder).  
• It is recommended that you record your material at a  
44.1-kHz sampling rate, using the 128-kbps data  
transfer rate.  
Incorrect  
• Some MP3 files or discs may not be played back  
because of their characteristics or recording conditions.  
• MP3 discs require a longer readout time than normal  
discs because of the complexity of the folder/file  
configuration.  
• Cleaning  
• MP3i and MP3 Pro are not available.  
• The title, artist name and album name can be displayed  
as the ID3 TAG (ID3v1/1.1) information.  
Correct  
Incorrect  
Handling discs  
Since dirty, damaged or warped discs could damage the  
unit, care should be taken of the following:  
• Do not touch the reflective recorded surface.  
• Do not stick or write anything on the label side.  
• Do not bend discs.

Notes:  
It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-

embodied therein.

• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it  
is not affected by VOLUME. Thus, during recording  
you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to  
without affecting the recording level.

the unit may have been 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 unit.

MAINTENANCE  
Cleaning the heads, capstan and  
pinch roller  
Cleaning the CD pickup lens  
If the CD pickup lens is dirty, the sound may be  
degraded.  
Cleaning is important!  
When the tape is running, magnetic powder and dust  
naturally accumulate on the heads, capstan and pinch  
roller. When they become too dirty;  
Open the disc door and clean the lens.  
Use a blower (available at a camera store, etc.) to blow  
off dust on the lens.  
• Sound quality deteriorates.  
• The sound output level drops.  
• The previous recording is not completely erased.  
• Recording is not performed satisfactorily.  
To avoid these, clean the heads, capstan and pinch roller  
every 10 hours of use.  
Head (recording/playback)  
Erasure head  
Pinch roller  
Capstan  
Blower  
Lens  
Open the cassette holder. Clean the heads, capstan  
and pinch roller.  
For effective cleaning, use a cleaning kit available at an  
audio store.  
After cleaning, make sure that the cleaning fluid has dried  
completely before loading a cassette.  
Cautions:  
• Keep magnets and metallic objects away from the  
head. If the head becomes magnetized, noise will  
increase and the sound will deteriorate.  
• Demagnetize the recording/playback head every 20 to  
30 hours of use with a head demagnetizer available at  
an audio store. When demagnetizing the head, the unit  
should be turned off.  
As the erasure head of the unit is of magnetic type,  
do not demagnetize it.  
• Do not use anything other than alcohol for cleaning.  
Thinner and benzine will damage the rubber pinch  
roller.
