Safety Precautions
. 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.
. 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.
.Many electrical and mechanical parts in the products have special safety-related
characteristics. 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.
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 returned to normal, after re-assembling.
. Leakage currnet check (Electrical shock hazard testing)
After re-assembling the product, always perform an 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 of the cabinet , particularly
any exposed metal part 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 uF AC-type capacitor between an exposed metal part and a
known good earth ground.
Measure the AC voltage across the resistor
with the AC voltmeter.
Move the resistor connection to each exposed
metal part, particularly any exposed metal part
having a return path to the chassis, and
meausre the AC voltage across the resistor.

installation
— Select a location which is level, dry and
Nelther too cold nor too hot (between 5°C
(41°F) and 35°C(95°F).
— Avoid a dusty location or a location subject to
vibrations.
Power
— When unplugging from the wail outlet, always
pull on the plug, not on the power cord.
Malfunctions, etc.
~ Do not insert any metallic object into the
player.
— The discs to be played on this player are
limited to those bearing the mark below
(Fig. 4).
— Placing anything other than a compact disc
on the tray may cause the player to
malfunction.
— If something goes wrong, turn the power off
immediately. If the same phenomenon occurs
when the power is turned on again, turn the
power off and consult your JVC dealer.
Volume setting
As acompact disc causes almost no noise, it
is difficult to set the volume level by listening
to noise as in the case of an ordinary analog
turntable or a tape deck. If the volume level is
raised too much because the beginning of the
selection is quiet, the speakers may be dam-
aged by a sudden increase in the sound level.
Condensation
Asthe compact disc player uses optical parts,
moving it from a cold to warm place or using
itina room subject to excessive humidity or in
a room where a fire has just been lit may
cause condensation on the optical parts. This
phenomenon may prevent the light from be-
ing correctly transmitted, and may cause noise
or malfunction.
\f dew condenses and the player does not
functioncorrectly, leave it on for several hours
with the power turned on.
if the player does not function even after such
period, consult your dealer.
Note:
¢ When this unit ls placed near a tuner ora
receiver, noise may occur. If thishappens,
move this unit as far from the tuner or the
receiver as possible, or briefly turn off the
power of the unit.
COMPACT
DIGITAL AUDIO
Fig 4
Since compact discs are made of plastic, they
can be easily damaged; if the disc gets dirty,
dusty, damaged or warped, the sound will not be
picked up correctly, and such discs may cause
the player to malfunction. When handling com-
pach disc,use the following precautions.
.
Do not touch the surface of the disc (reflective
silver i.e. the side without the label) When
handling the discs.
Storage
Make sure tokeep discs in their cases. Ifdiscs
are piled on top of the one another without
cases, they can be damaged. Do not put
discs in a location exposed to direct sunlight
or in a place with high temperature and hu-
midity.
Avoid leaving discs in your car.
Maintenance of discs (Fig. 5)
When fingerprints and dirt adhere to a disc,
wipe the disc off with a soft, dry cloth from the
inside towards the outside. If it is dificult to
clean, wipe the dics with a cloth moistened
with water.
Do not use record cleaners, benzine, alcohol
or antistatic agent.
Do not damage the label side or stick paper or
adhesive to the surface.
In the case of an 8 cm (3°) single CD, place it
in the disc hold, for an 8 cm (3") disc, within
the tray.

COMPU LINK CONTROL SYSTEM
The Compu Link Remote Control System con-
trols relative operations between components
automatically and facilitates various operations.
This is a system originated and developed by
JVC for facilitating various system operations.
There are two versions of this system; version 1
and 3. (For version 1 components, “COMPU
LINK-1 SYNCHRO" is marked on the rear panel.
For version 3 components, “COMPU LINK-3
SYNCHRO” is marked on the rear panel. This
unit belongs to version 3.) The version 3 system
control relative functions between this unit and
an amplifier or receiver, in addition to all of the
functions of version 1.
Automatic Source Selection
When the provided remote cable are used for
connecting this unit to other components which
have COMPU LINK -1, 3/SYNCHRO terminals,
the switch-over of all system components is
possible with simple one-touch of the source
selector button of the JVC amplifier or receiver.
By doing this, the corresponding component will
start playing automatically. The source select
button of the remote control unit or the select
button of the desired componentcan also be use
for this purpose.
When the components have been switch over,
the previously used component will stop playing
within five seconds.
Synchronized Recording
If a cassette deck with COMPU LINK-1, 3/
SYNCHRO terminals is connected with the
remote cable supplied, synchro recording be-
comes possible.
Synchronized recording refers to the process in
which the cassette deck starts recording in the
synchronism with the CD player. Perform the
synchronized recording as follows.
1. Set the cassette deck to the REC/PAUSE
mode in accordance with the procedures in
the instructions.
2. If you want programmed recordings, pro-
gram the desired selections in any order you
wish to hear them.
3. Press the [PLAY»/m PAUSE] button of the
CD player. By doing so, the cassette deck is
placed in the record mode and synchronized
with the CD player for recording. Synchro-
nized recording thus can be made possible.
Automatic Source Selection
This feature works only when this unit is con-
nected to an amplifier or receiver with COMPU
LINK-3 SYNCHRO terminalis.
By pressing the [PLAY/t! PAUSE] or (p>) but-
ton, you can turn on this unit and the connected
equipment (amplifier or receiver), and by turning
off the connected equipment, you can turn off
this unit.
Notes:
¢ Synchronized recording stops automati-
cally when the CD player stops playing.
© To cancel synchronized recording, press
the {a STOP/CLEAR] button of the CD
player or cassette deck.
CAUTION:
e When the REC/PAUSE mode is set by
pressing [PAUSE (11 )] button after press-
Ing the [REC (0 )] and [PLAY ( > )] but-
tons simultaneously, synchronized re-
cording Is not possible. For details, refer
to the Instructions of the cassette deck.
Abnormal operation will result ifthe power
supply of the components) is Interrupted.
if this happens, you must start all over
again.
Ensure that the COMPU LINK-1, 3/
SYNCHRO terminals of the individual com-
ponents are connected with the provided
remote cables. Also be sure to fully read
the instructions for each component.
DDRP (Dynamics Detection Recording Processor)
The Dynamics Detection Recording Processor
(DDRP) detects the peak level of the music
being performed and outputs the optimum re-
cording level.
When the (DDRP) button is pressed, the DDRP
indicator starts to flash, the letters “ddrp" run
along the display and the volume is reset to the
maximum value. Each time a new peak level is
detected during peak search mode, the PHONES
OUTPUT LEVEL setting is reduced and the
optimum level is set. The time taken for peak
search varies with the total performance time of
the music being scanned, but is around two
minutes for a 40 minute performance time.
DORP Recording
The combination of the DDRP function and
synchro recording makes recording on tape
cassette very easy. There are two recording
methods - according to which type of cassette
deck is being used.
1. Incombination with a DDRP compatible JVC
cassette deck :
Peak search is initiated by pressing the
[DDRP] button. As soon as the peak search
is terminated, recording starts. The cassette
deck should be operated in accordance with
the instructions supplied with it.
1-8 (No.20392)
2. In combination with any JVC cassette deck
not DDRP-compatible :
Where connection is made to a cassette
deck not DDRP-compatible, via the synchro
terminals, pressing the [DDRP] button will
start the recording process.
In this case, the cassette deck input level will
not be automaticaily set.
Where a none DDRP-compatible cassette
deck is used, a preliminary recording should
be made in order to ascertain ideal input
levels - the input level being then set up in
accordance with the instructions for the
cassette deck. If the input-level knob is
subsequently reset to the same position, this
enables recording at the optimum level to be
done, without resetting every time.
ODRP Cancel
Press the [4 OPEN/CLOSE] button to cancel
DDRP mode.
Note
¢ The graphic equalizer should not be used
during DDRP recording. Using this facility
will disturb the optimum recording level set-
ting just found by the DDRP.
Please do not turn off the power to the CD
player while the DDRP mode is active. If this
should be turned off by accident then the
cassette deck should also be switched off for
a few seconds in order to clear the DDRP
recording mode from the cassette deck.
¢ When the cassette deck is connected via the
synchro terminals, itis set in recording mode
when DDRP is pressed. Take care, there-
fore, not to erase a tape by mistake.
Supplementary Notes
e For successful DDAP recording, make sure
to turn on the cassette deck before starting
the recording.
e Whenever any addition or cancellation is
made to the music tracks programme, the
DDRP mode is cancelled.
¢ DDRP recording is automatically stopped
when the CD player stops.
