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

10 to 12.

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.

General Notes

In general, you will have the best performance by keeping

your CDs and the mechanism clean.

• Store CDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on

shelves.

2 Place a disc correctly on the circle of the disc

tray, with its label side up.

• Keep the system’s disc trays closed when not in use.

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs

(CD-ReWritable) can be played back only if they are already

“finalized.”

• 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.

prevent warping.

• Be careful not to touch the tape

surface.

the disc when placing it back in its

case.

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight,

temperature extremes, and moisture.

• Avoid the following places to store the

tape:

— In dusty places

— In moist areas

To clean the disc

Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a

straight line from center to edge.
