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.
Power sources
• When unplugging from the wall outlet, always pull the
plug, not the AC power cord.
About This Manual
This manual is organized as follows:
• 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.
• The illustrations used in this manual are of CA-MXJ300.
• 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
11 to 13.
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet
hands.
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, and then plug it in
again.
• The following marks are used in this manual:
Gives you warnings and cautions to prevent
from a damage or risk of fire/electric shock.
Also gives you information which is not good
for obtaining the best possible performance
from the unit.
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.
Gives you information and hints you had better
know.
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.
Precautions
Installation
• 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 built-up in the unit.
• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.
• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference
with TV.
DO NOT install the unit in a location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust or vibration.

Extend the FM antenna (supplied) horizontally.
If reception is poor
Connect the outdoor antenna.
Before attaching a 75 Ω coaxial cable (the kind with a round wire
going to an outdoor antenna), disconnect the supplied FM antenna.
3
How to strip the 75 Ω coaxial cable and connect it to the FM
terminals
1.Strip off the outside covering of the 75 Ω coaxial cable to
expose the braided metallic mesh about 13/16 inches (20 mm).
2.Pull the mesh back and twist it into a single conductor as
shown in the illustration above.
3.Strip the insulation about 7/16 inches (10 mm) back from the
central wire.
• DO NOT use an old battery together with a new one.
• DO NOT use different types of batteries together.
• DO NOT expose batteries to heat or flame.
• DO NOT leave the batteries in the battery
compartment when you are not going to use the
remote control for an extended period of time.
Otherwise, it will be damaged from battery leakage.
4.Insert the twisted mesh and the central wire into the FM
terminals, as shown in the illustration above.

2 Turn the AM loop antenna until you have the
best reception.
1 Press and hold the clamp of the speaker
terminal on the rear of the unit.
To connect an outdoor AM antenna
When reception is poor, connect a single vinyl-covered wire
to the AM EXT terminal and extend it horizontally. (The AM
loop antenna must remain connected.)
2 Insert the end of the speaker cord into the
terminal.
Match the polarity of the speaker terminals: Red (+) to
red (+) and black (–) to black (–).
3 Release the finger from the clamp.
For better reception of both FM and AM
• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other
terminals and connecting cords.
IMPORTANT: Use only speakers with the same speaker
impedance as indicated by the speaker terminals on the
rear of the unit.
• Keep the antennas away from metallic parts of the unit,
connecting cords, and the AC power cord.
