Safety Precautions
1. The design of this product contains special hardware and many circuits and components |
specially for safety purposes. For continued protection, no changes should be made to the
original design unless authorized in writing by the manufacturer. Replacement parts must
be identical to those used in the original circuits. Services should be performed by
qualified personnel only.
2. Alterations of the design or circuitry of the product should not be made. Any design
alterations of the product should not be made. Any design alterations or additions will
-void the manufacturer's warranty and will further relieve the manufacture of responsibility
for personal injury or property damage resulting therefrom.
3. Many electrical and mechanical parts in the products have special safety-related
characateristics. These characteristics are often not evident from visual inspection nor can
the protection afforded by them necessarily be obtained by using replacement components
rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc. Replacement parts which have these special safety
characteristics are identified in the Parts List of Service Manual. Electrical components
having such features are identified by shading on the schematics and by (A\) on the Parts
List in the Service Manual. The use of a substitute repalcement which does not have the
same safety characteristics as the recommended replacement parts shown in the Parts List of
Service Manual may create shock, fire, or other hazards.
4. The leads in the products are routed and dressed. with ties, clamps, tubings, barriers and
the like to be separated from live parts, high temperature parts, moving parts and/or sharp
edges for the prevention of electric shock and fire hazard. When service is required, the
original lead routing and dress should be observed, and it should be confirmed that they.
have been retuned to normal, after re-assembling.
5
. Leakage currnet check (Electrical shock hazard testing)
After re-assembling the product, always perform and isolation check on the exposed metal
parts of the product (antenna terminals, knobs, metal cabinet, screw heads, headphone jack,
contorl shafts, etc.) to be sure the product is safe to operate without danger of electrical
shock.
Do not use a line isolation transformer during this check.
® Plug the AC line cord directly into the AC outlet. Using a “Leakage Current Tester”,
measure the leakage current from each exposed metal parts having a return path to the
chassis, to a known good earth ground. Any leakage current must not exceed 0.5mA AC
(r.m.s.).
® Alternate check method
Plug the AC line cord directly into the AC outlet. Use an AC voltmeter having, 1,000
ohms per volt or more sensitivity in the following manner. Connect a 1,500Q 10 W
resistor paralleled by a 0.15 »F AC-type capacitor between an exposed metal part and a
known good earth ground.
Measure the AC voltage across the resistor (Having 1000 °

PRECAUTIONS IN USE
Installation
— Select a location which is fevel, dry
and neither too cold nor too hot (tem-
perature range 5°C (41°F) and 35°C
(95°. F).
~- Avoid dusty locations or any location
subject to vibration.
Power
— When unplugging from the wall sock-
et, always pull the plug body, never
the power cable.
Preventing malfunctions
— Never insert anything other than a
compact. disc into any part of the
CD player-changer.
— Placing anything other than acom-
pact disc on the disc tray may
cause the player to malfunction.
— If something goes wrong, turn the
power off immediately. If the same
problem reoccurs when the power
is turned on once more, turn the
power off again and consult your
JVC dealer.
1-4(No.20221)
Volume settings
ACD player has almost zero background
noise.
The technique of listening to the back-
ground level and then setting volume
before the music starts, as used in ana-
log turn-tables or tape decks, cannot be
used. If you raise volume levels too high
speaker damage may result.
Condensation
Since the CD player uses optical com-
ponents, if either you move it from a
cold location to a warm one, or you use
it in a room subject to excessive humid-
ity, equally if it is used in a room where
a fire has just been lit, condensation
could form on these optical com-
ponents.
This may prevent the laser beam from
being properly received and thus cause
noise, even a malfunction.
If condensation has formed and the CD
player-changer does not function cor-
rectly, we recommend that you leave it
turned on for some hours.
If at the end of this time the CD player
still does not function properly, please
consult your JVC dealer.
Notes: ;
e When this equipment is placed near
either a tuner or a radio receiver
tuned to AM frequencies, interfer-
ence may occur. If this has hap-
pened, we recommend either that
you move this unit as far away from
the tuner or receiver as possible, or
you turn off the power to this unit,
briefly.
¢ When carrying this unit, it is best if
you avoid either tilting it or turning
it upside-down.
Where you cannot avoid doing so,
please remove the magazine first.
DIGITAL AUDIO
Only use compact-discs bearing this
mark.

How to handle CDs
When handling compact discs, do not
touch the surface of the disc (reflective
‘silver side - the side without the label).
Since compact discs are made of plas-
tic, they are easily damaged. If the disc
gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped,
the sound will not be picked up correctly
and, in addition, such discs may cause
the CD player-changer to malfunction.
Storage
Make sure that the discs are kept in their
cases.
If the discs are piled, one on top of
another, without their protective cases,
they can be damaged. ;
Do not put discs in any location where
they can be exposed to direct sunlight
- or in any place where the humidity or
the temperature are high.
Avoid leaving discs in your car!
HANDLING COMPACT DISCS & THE MAGAZINE
XL-M504BK
XL-M5051TN
Maintenance of Discs
© Donot damage the label side, or stick

© When there are fingerprints or other
dirt adhering to a disc, wipe the disc
with a soft, dry cloth, with a move-
ment going from the inside,
outwards. ;
¢ If itis difficult to clean, wipe the disc
with a cloth moistened with water.
e Never use record cleaners, petrol, al-
cohol or any anti-static agents.
Recommendations on handling the
magazine
1. Always keep the magazine loaded
with its six dise trays.
2. When removing or inserting the disc
- trays, the magazine should be held
horizontal.
3. Only load the magazine with compact
discs already located on disc trays.
Never load a disc directly into the
magazine without a disc tray.
4. Do not expose it to high tempera-
tures or to direct sunlight.
5. Do not dismantle the magazine.
6. Take care not to drop or bang the
magazine.
Do not apply any high loadings to the
disc trays, particularly when removed
from the magazine.
7. Never apply such solvents as petrol
or thinners, nor insecticide to the sur-
faces of the magazine or the disc
trays. Such solvents may damage
their surfaces.
8. If you wish to use 8cm (3”) CDs,
please obtain the special magazine
(XC-M73), designed for these.
