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 the unit from the wall outlet, always  
About This Manual  
pull the plug, not the AC power cord.  
This manual is organized as follows:  
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet  
hands.  
• 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.  
• 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 14 – 16.  
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:  
Gives you warnings and cautions 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.  
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.  
Precautions  
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and  
consult your dealer.  
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 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.  
DO NOT install the unit in a location near heat  
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,  
excessive dust or vibration.

More about RDS  
Not all FM stations provide RDS signals, nor do all RDS  
stations provide the same services. If in doubt, check with local  
radio stations for details on RDS in your area.  
RDS may not work correctly if the received station is not  
transmitting the signals properly or if the signal strength is  
weak.  
One of the advantages of RDS is that you can locate a  
particular kind of program by specifying the PTY codes.  
• The PTY Search is applicable only to the preset stations.  
• There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the  
setting is canceled before you finish, start from step 1

How the EON function actually works:  
Alarm function  
If an Alarm!” (Emergency) signal is received from a  
station while listening to the radio, the unit automatically  
switches to the station broadcasting the “Alarm!” signal,  
except when you are listening to non-RDS stations (all  
AM – MW/LW and some FM stations).  
CASE 1  
If there is no station broadcasting the program you  
have selected  
The unit continues tuning in the current station.  
«
When a station starts broadcasting the program you  
have selected, the unit automatically switches to the  
station. The indicator of received PTY code starts  
flashing.  
Test function  
The TEST signal is used for testing the “Alarm!” signal.  
Therefore, it makes the unit work in the same way as the  
Alarm!” signal does.  
If a TEST signal is received from a station while  
listening to the radio, the unit automatically switches to  
the station broadcasting the TEST signal, except when  
you are listening to non-RDS stations (all AM – MW/  
LW and some FM stations).  
«
When the program is over, “EON END” appears in the  
main display, and the unit goes back to the previously  
tuned station, but the EON function still remains  
activated.  
CASE 2  
If there is a station broadcasting the program you  
have selected  
The unit tunes in the program. The indicator of received  
PTY code starts flashing.  
«
More about the EON function  
EON data sent from some stations may not be compatible with  
this unit.  
When the program is over, “EON END” appears in the  
main display, and the unit goes back to the previously  
tuned station, but the EON function still remains  
activated.  
While listening to a program tuned in by the EON function, the  
station does not change even if another network station starts  
broadcasting a program of the same EON data.  
While listening to a program tuned in by the EON function, you  
can only use the EON and DISPLAY buttons as the tuner  
operation buttons. If you press any other tuner operation button,  
“EON LOCKED!” appears in the main display.  
If the stations alternate intermittently between the station tuned  
by the EON function and the currently tuned station  
(“WAITING” flashes in the main display), press EON to cancel  
the EON function.  
CASE 3  
If the FM station you are listening to is broadcasting  
the program you have selected  
The unit continues to receive the station but the  
indicator of received PTY code starts flashing.  
«
When the program is over, the indicator of received  
PTY code stops flashing and remains lit, but the EON  
function still remains activated.  
If you do not press the button, the currently tuned station is  
received finally (“NOT FOUND” appears this time), and the  
indication of the EON data type flashing on the display

Before You Start Recording  
It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs  
without the consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast or cable  
programme and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic embodied therein.  
• The sampling frequency rate converter built in the MD recorder allows you to record a digital source if its sampling  
frequency is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz. If no source equipment is connected to the AUX terminal or if the  
sampling frequency of the connected equipment is not 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz, “AUX DIGITAL UNLOCK”  
appears in the main display (no recording is possible).  
You cannot record the entire Dolby Digital, DTS Digital Surround, or MPEG Multichannel signals through the  
AUX terminal.  
• When you record onto 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 ALL ERASE  
Function” on page 43).  
• The recording level is automatically set correctly (except when recording from the equipment connected to the  
TAPE jacks), 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 bass extension effect through the speakers or  
headphones. However, the sound is recorded without these effects (see pages 15 and 16).  
To avoid erasing important recordings

prevention tab on the cartridge side surface. New recording  
This mark is called a “track mark” and the portion  
or editing is now no longer possible. (If you try to do,  
between two adjacent track marks is called a “track.”  
“DISC PROTECTED” appears in the main display.)  
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.  
To do re-recording or editing, return the tab to the closed  
position.  
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.

Maintenance  
To get the best performance of the unit, keep your discs and mechanism clean.  
General Notes  
Handling MDs  
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping  
your CDs, MDs and the mechanism clean.  
• Do not open the shutter.  
- The shutter is locked so that it  
will not open. Trying to force it  
open will break the MD. If the  
shutter opens accidentally, close  
it again quickly without

touching the MD inside.  
• Do not place MDs in the follow-  
ing places:  
Handling CDs  
- High temperature areas such as  
in direct sunlight or inside a  
car.  
- High humidity areas, e.g. in a  
bathroom.  
• Remove the CD 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 CD.  
- On a beach or sandy area.  
• Put the CD back in its case after  
use to prevent warping.  
• Clean MDs regularly.  
- If dust or dirt gets on cartridge, wipe it off with a soft  
dry cloth.  
• Be careful not to scratch the  
surface of the CD when placing it  
back in its case.  
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight,  
temperature extremes, and  
moisture.  
To clean the CD  
Wipe the CD with a soft cloth in a  
straight line from center to edge.  
DO NOT use any solvent — such as conventional  
record cleaner, spray, thinner, or benzine — to clean  
the CD.

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)  
The MD provides 80 minute recording and playback time, the same as 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 that of the original data.  
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  
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).

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”....  
Normally....  
MD limitations  
The MD records data in an original format that differs from that of conventional cassette tapes or DATs. 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 • 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.  
• 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 remaining time on the MD does not increase even  
when tracks are erased.  
The sound drops out during fast forward or fast reverse.  
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.
