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.  
About This Manual  
Power sources  
• When unplugging the unit from the wall outlet, always  
pull the plug, not the AC power cord.  
This manual is organized as follows:  
• This manual mainly explains playback and editing  
operations using the remote control, and the other  
operations such as recording operations using the  
buttons on the main unit.  
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet  
hands.  
You can use the buttons both on the remote control  
and on the main unit for the same operations if they  
have the same or similar names (or marks), unless  
mentioned otherwise.  
• 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 “Basic and  
Common Operations” on pages 10 – 13.  
Moisture condensation  
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in the  
following cases:  
• After starting heating in the room  
• In a damp room  
• 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, then plug it in  
again.  
• The following marks are used in this manual:  
Others  
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit,  
unplug the AC power cord 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.  
Gives you warning and caution to prevent  
from damage or risk of fire/electric shock.  
Furthermore, 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.  
Gives you information and hints you had  
better know.  
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and  
consult your dealer.  
Precautions

• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot  
nor too cold — between 5˚C (41˚F) and 35˚C (95˚F).  
• Install the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to  
prevent internal heat buildup in the unit.  
• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.  
• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid  
interference with TV.

Before You Start Recording on an MD  
• It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the  
copyright owner.  
• When you record onto a partially recorded MD, its contents are not erased or overwritten. The recording starts from  
the point following the last recorded track of the MD. If you want to record on such an MD from the beginning, you  
have to erase its contents first (see “Erasing All Tracks — ALL ERASE” on page 52.)  
• When an MD is fully recorded, recording will stop automatically.  
• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME control. Thus, during  
recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.  
• While recording, you can hear sound mode effect and/or the Active Hyper Bass Pro effect through the speakers or  
headphones. However, the sound is recorded without these effects (see pages 12.)  
• You can make a digital-to-digital recording from a CD onto an MD. When selecting FM, AM, TAPE or AUX as the  
source, you can make an analog-to-digital recording only.  
• You cannot record more than 254 tracks onto an MD, though there is a still enough remaining recording time on it.  
• The display turns red while recording is performed.  
About the track marks  
To avoid erasing important recordings  
The recordable MD has an erasure prevention tab so  
that important recordings are not accidentally erased.  
When you finish recording or editing, slide to open the  
erasure prevention tab on the cartridge side surface.  
New recording or editing is now no longer possible. (If  
you try to do, “DISC PROTECTED” appears on the  
display.)  
When playing an MD, you can move among the tracks.  
You can do this because there is a mark recorded at the  
beginning of each track enabling you to locate the track.  
This mark is called a “track mark” and the portion  
between two adjacent track marks is called a “track.”  
• When recording from the CD player, a track mark  
is recorded automatically at the beginning of each  
track.  
To do re-recording or editing, return the tab to the  
closed position.  
• When recording from an analog source such as  
FM/AM broadcasts, no track mark is recorded on  
the MD. This means that, when playing this MD, the  
MD recorder will regard the entire recording as one  
track (track 1.) You will not be able to select directly  
a song or navigate through songs.  
However, if there is a blank of 3 seconds or more, the  
MD recorder will consider it as a blank separating 2  
tracks and consequently put a track mark.  
Erasure prevention tab  
To put a track mark manually while recording an  
analog source, press SET on the remote control at the  
place you want to put a track mark.  
Recording/Editing  
possible  
Disc protected:  
Recording/Editing  
not possible  
To add a track mark after recording is over, you can  
use the DIVIDE function (see page 50.)  
If “PLAYBACK DISC” appears on the display  
when you try to record on an MD  
The MD is only for playback use, not for recording.

To check the remaining recording time  
Stereo Long-Hour Recording (MDLP)  
On conventional MD recorders, 2 times long-hour  
recording on MDs has been possible only in monaural  
sound, but this unit allows for 2 times or 4 times long-  
hour recording without losing stereo sound.  
1 Insert an MD to record on.  
2 Press MD 3/8, then 7 to select “MD” as the  
source.  
3 Press DISPLAY/CHARA repeatedly until the  
remaining recording time (“REM”) appears on the  
display.  
With this feature, songs (tracks) can be recorded on a  
single MD using different recording length modes — SP:  
Standard Play, LP2: 2 Times Long Play, LP4: 4 Times  
Long Play.  
Precautions for performing long-hour stereo  
recording  
SP: Signifies standard-hour stereo recording.  
The number of hours usable for recording is the  
same as shown on the package of the MD.  
LP2:Signifies 2 times long-hour stereo recording.  
The number of hours usable for recording is twice  
as long as shown on the package of the MD.  
LP4:Signifies 4 times long-hour stereo recording.  
The number of hours usable for recording is 4  
times as long as shown on the package of the MD.  
After having made long-hour stereo recordings on this  
unit, pay attention to the following:  
• Songs (tracks) recorded in 2 times or 4 times long-  
hour recording mode can only be played back on the  
equipment provided with MDLP, compatible with a  
long-hour stereo recording function; otherwise, “LP:”  
is displayed before a title and playback proceeds  
without sounds.  
• When editing songs (tracks) on an MD, you cannot  
join (JOIN) songs (tracks) recorded in different  
recording length modes (SP/LP2/LP4).  
REMEMBER to check the remaining recording time  
of MDs before starting recording  
The remaining recording time of MDs will be calculated  
and be shown, based on the recording length mode (SP/  
LP2/LP4) currently selected.  
Before starting recording or using the Recording Timer,  
check the recording time remaining on the MD for each  
recording length mode (SP/LP2/LP4) and select the  
optimum recording length mode.  
More about MDLP  
You cannot make a long-hour monaural recording using this  
unit.  
Sound quality will decrease as the recording length mode  
changes to LP2 (little) and LP4 (much). To obtain the best  
sound quality, it is recommended to use the SP mode when  
recording.

About High-Speed Recording  
REMEMBER if you are trying to record a program  
including the same song (track) twice using high-speed  
recording, recording will stop at the beginning of the 2nd  
recording of the same song (track). (“HCMS CANNOT  
COPY” will appear on the display.)  
There are some restrictions to observe for high-speed  
recording (x2 speed recording: two times as quick as  
normal speed recording, x4 speed recording: four times  
as quick as normal speed recording) to protect  
copyrights. (HCMS: see page 63.)  
This unit is so designed that a song (track) recorded from  
a CD using high-speed recording cannot be re-recorded  
until 74 minutes elapse after the previous recording  
started.  
If you try to re-record the same song (track) within the  
74 minutes, recording is canceled and  
“HCMS CANNOT COPY” appears on the display as a  
warning.  
During high-speed recording  
You cannot listen to any source, and therefore, cannot adjust the  
volume level. (“CANNOT LISTEN!” will appear if you try to  
do.)  
About x4 speed recording  
You can select x4 speed recording only when you select SP as  
recording length mode.  
The remaining time required until re-recording will then  
appear on the display.  
If this happens, press 7 after the remaining time appears.

Before You Start Recording on a Tape  
• It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the  
copyright owner.  
• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME control. Thus, during  
recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.  
• While recording, you can hear sound mode effect and/or the Active Hyper Bass Pro effect through the speakers or  
headphones. However, the sound is recorded without these effects (see pages 12.)  
• If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static, the unit may be too close to a TV. Place the unit away  
from the TV.  
• You can use type I tape for recording.  
To protect your recordings  
Cassettes have two small taps on the back to protect  
unexpected erasure or recording.  
To protect your recording, remove these tabs.  
To re-record on a protected tape, cover the holes with  
adhesive tape.  
To keep the best recording and playback sound  
quality  
If the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers of the cassette  
deck become dirty, the following will occur:  
• Loss of sound quality  
• Discontinuous sound  
• Fading  
• Incomplete erasure  
• Difficulty in recording  
Adhesive tape  
To clean the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers  
Use a cotton swab moistened with alcohol.  
The use of the C-120 or thinner tape is not  
recommended, since characteristic deterioration  
may occur and this tape easily jams in the  
pinchrollers and the capstans.  
Capstans  
Pinch roller  
Erase head  
Record/play head  
To demagnetize the head  
Turn off the unit, and use a head demagnetizer  
(available at electronics and audio shops).  
At the start and end of cassette tapes  
There is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto. Thus,  
when recording CDs or radio broadcasts, wind the leader  
tape first to ensure that the recording will be made without  
any music part lost.

Guidance — MD Group Functions  
To add to the conventional MD Editing functions (called  
the track editing functions in this unit), MD Group  
functions helps you to classify the tracks by making  
groups on your MD.  
Using MD Group Functions  
MD Group functions consists of Group play, Group  
recording and Group editing.  
• Group play (see page 25):  
You can play back and repeat the desired group  
without making a program: For example, you can play  
back repeatedly the genre B tracks by selecting Group  
1 in the left figure.  
Classifying the tracks on an MD  
MDLP enables you to record more tracks on a single MD  
than usual. So, there are many tracks which have been  
recorded from the various sources — CD, FM, and so on  
— on your MD.  
• Group recording (see page 32):  
You can form a group while tracks are being recorded.  
• Group editing:  
You can edit the groups using the following functions:  
- Forming a group  
- Adding a track to a group  
- Dividing a group  
- Joining two groups  
- Moving a group  
- Ungrouping tracks  
- Dissolving all groups  
- Erasing tracks in a group  
In that case, if you can classify the tracks by source, by  
album, or by artist, the playback of your favorite songs  
becomes much easier.

Group functions, you can form a group by genre B tracks  
as Group 1.  
• Group recording function:  
Select this when you want to record and group tracks at  
the same time.  
By forming groups on the MD, you can classify the

Press = or + to change the title entry mode.  
• Disc title and track title entry screen: Each time  
you press the button, the title entry mode changes as  
follows:  
You can assign a name to each MD, to each track and to  
each group using alphabetic characters (uppercase and  
lowercase), symbols and numerals. Once a title is assigned,  
it is displayed for your confirmation.  
DISC TITLE?

About the number of characters inputted for an MD  
The total number of characters that can be input for an MD is  
1792. The maximum number that can be input for a disc title  
is 64, and for each track, 61. (However, the actual number  
you can input may be slightly less than this maximum  
numbers due to the MD limitations — see page 63.)  
• Group title entry screen: Each time you press the  
button, the title entry mode changes as follows:  
GR 1 TITLE?  
Last group  
GR 2 TITLE?  
GR 3 TITLE?

•
A space can be counted as one character.  
• “GR-- TITLE?” appears on the display when the  
current track is not included in any group.  
When the stereo long-hour recording (LP2 or LP4, see  
page 31) method is used for recording, the maximum  
number you can input for a track title automatically  
reduced since “LP:” and four spaces are automatically  
added to the beginning of the track title. Consequently this  
reduces the total number of characters you can input for an  
MD.

Press SET to enter the selected title entry mode.

You can input up to 10 characters for each track if an MD  
is composed of 120 tracks recorded using the stereo long-

contact with it for a long time.  
• Clean MDs regularly.  
- If dust or dirt gets on cartridge, wipe it off with a soft  
dry cloth.  
Handling cassette tapes  
• If the tape is loose in its cassette, take  
up the slack by inserting a pencil in  
one of the reels and rotating.  
• If the tape is loose, it may get  
stretched, cut, or caught in the  
cassette.  
Handling discs  
• Remove the disc from its case by  
holding it at the edge while pressing  
the center hole lightly.  
• Do not touch the shiny surface of  
the disc, or bend the disc.

Additional Information  
Continued  
MD Disc Types  
There are two types of MDs: Premastered (prerecorded) and Recordable (blank).  
Premastered MDs  
Premastered MDs, which have been recorded at music studio, can be played back like regular CDs. On an MD of this type,  
data is recorded as the presence or absence of tiny pits. A laser beam focuses on the pits on the surface of the MD and  
reflects the detection back to the lens in the MD recorder. The MD recorder then decodes the signals and plays them back  
as music. This type of MD is called an “optical disc.”  
Recordable MDs  
Recordable MDs, which use magneto-optical technology, can be recorded and played back repeatedly. The laser inside the  
MD recorder applies heat to the MD, demagnetizing the magnetic layer of the MD for recording and playback. This type of  
MD is called an “magnetic-optical disc.”  
ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding)/ATRAC3 (  
)
The MD provides 80 minute recording and playback time, much more than an audio CD, but in a diameter of only 64 mm.  
This ability to store such a large amount of data is the result of ATRAC, an audio compression technique developed for  
MD. This technology cuts out faint sounds that would not be heard by the human beings. This technology, based on human  
sensitivity to sounds, reduces recorded data volume up to about one-fifth of the original data volume.  
Furthermore, this unit takes advantage of the latest ATRAC3 techniques, which can reduce the amount of data to record to  
one-10th or one-20th of the original data volume. This allows for 2 times or 4 times long-hour stereo recording on this unit.  
UTOC (User Table Of Contents)  
Found only on recordable MDs, this area contains sub-data (track number, recording data, etc.) which can be rewritten by  
the user.  
UTOC enables us to search tracks quickly and edit tracks on the MD.  
3:12  
4:15  
6:05  
Sound Skip Guard Memory  
The biggest weakness of discs is their susceptibility to vibration. The “Sound Skip Guard Memory” has been developed to  
cope with this weakness.  
With this function, a few seconds of signals read by the optical read head from the MD are first stored in memory before  
being reproduced as audio signals. Thus, even when vibration or shock interrupts signals being read, these stored signals  
can continue to reproduce sounds for the few seconds. Thus, the user will enjoy uninterrupted music.  
When “vibrated”....

SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)  
The MD recorder integrated to this unit uses the Serial Copy Management System which allows only first-generation  
digital copies to be made of premastered software (like CDs or prerecorded MDs.)

ABCDEFG  
HCMS (High-speed Copy Management System)  
Now onto recordable MDs (minidiscs), you can record (copy) sound at a recording speed exceeding the normal speed. This  
fact requires some restrictions for protecting copyrights.  
On this unit, you cannot re-record, at either high speed or normal speed, a song (track) that has been recorded once from a  
CD at high speed, until 74 minutes elapse after the first recording of the song started.  
For example, after having recorded the first song (track) of a CD at high speed, you cannot record it again, at either high  
speed or normal speed, until 74 minutes elapse after the first recording of that song started.  
MD limitations  
The MD records data in an original format that differs from that of conventional cassette tapes or DATs (Digital Audio  
Tape.) Since there are some limitations with this recording format, the following types of symptoms may occur. These  
symptoms are not malfunctions.  
Symptoms  
Cause  
“DISC FULL” appears, even though there is still enough  
remaining time on an MD.  
There is a maximum number of tracks which can be  
recorded, regardless of recording time. More than 254  
tracks cannot be recorded on an MD.  
“DISC FULL” appears, even though the number of tracks  
and recording time do not reach the limit.  
Repeating erasure and recording on the same MD creates  
many blank portions sparsely on the MD. When record-  
ing on such an MD, a track is recorded on these blank  
portions sparsely. If a track is divided and recorded into  
so many portions, “DISC FULL” appears.  
The JOIN function sometimes does not work.  
If a divided portion of less than 8 seconds is made while  
a track is recorded on the MD, that track cannot be  
joined to another track using the JOIN function. Further-  
more, if that track is erased, the remaining time of the  
MD may not increase exactly by the erased amount.  
The remaining time on the MD does not increase even  
when tracks are erased.  
The sound drops out during fast forward or fast reverse.  
If a track has been divided into many portions while  
being recorded on the MD, sounds will drop out while  
fast forwarding or reversing such an MD.  
The amount of recorded time on the MD added to the  
amount of remaining time is shorter than the MD’s total  
possible recording time.  
You cannot record on a blank portion of less than 2 seconds  
in the MD. For this reason, the actual recording time of  
discs may become shorter.
