Getting Started
Putting Batteries in the Remote Control
Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.
•When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at
the remote sensor on the unit.
1 On the back of the remote control, remove the
battery cover.
2 Insert batteries. Make sure to match the polarity:
(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
3 Replace the cover.
If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace
the batteries. Use two R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell batteries.
CAUTION:
Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:
•Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity:
(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
•Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may
differ in voltage.
•Always replace both batteries at the same time.
•Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.
Before Installation
General Precautions
•DO NOT insert any metal object into the unit.
•DO NOT disassemble the unit or remove screws, covers, or
cabinet.
•DO NOT expose the unit to rain or moisture.
Locations
•Install the unit in a location that is level and protected from
moisture.
•The temperature around the unit must be between 5˚C and 35˚C.
•Make sure there is good ventilation around the unit. Poor
ventilation could cause overheating and damage the unit.
Handling the unit
•DO NOT touch the power cord with wet hands.
•DO NOT pull on the power cord to unplug it. When unplugging
the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage the cord.
•Keep the power cord away from the connecting cords and the
antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. It
is recommended to use a coaxial cable for antenna connection,
since it is well-shielded against interference.
•When a power failure occurs, or when you unplug the power cord,
the preset settings such as preset FM or AM channels and sound
adjustments may be erased in a few days.
Checking the Supplied Accessories
Check to be sure you have all of the following supplied accessories.
The number in the parentheses indicates the quantity of the pieces
supplied.
•Remote Control (1)
•Batteries (2)
•AM Loop Antenna (1)
•FM Antenna (1)
If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.

connector (IEC or DIN 45325), disconnect the supplied FM
antenna.
Note:
•Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other
terminals, connecting cords and power cord. This could cause poor
reception.

WOOFER OUT jack on the rear panel, using a cable with RCA pin
plugs (not supplied).
•Refer also to the manual supplied with your subwoofer.

VCR; otherwise, the picture may be distorted.
■SCART connection
*1 The signals input from a SCART terminal cannot be output
through the same SCART terminal.
*2 The video format of the output video signals are consistent
with that of the input video signals. For example, if S-video
signals are input to this unit, no signals other than S-video
signals can be output from this unit.
Refer to the manuals supplied with the video components to
check the setting of the input/output video signals.
*3 The signals for T-V LINK function are always going through
the unit.

Now, you can plug the power cord of the unit into the AC outlet.
CAUTIONS:
•Do not touch the power cord with wet hands.
•Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the cord. When unplugging
the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage the cord.
Notes:
•Keep the power cord away from the connecting cords and the
antenna cables. The power cord may cause noise or screen
interference.
•The preset settings such as preset channels and sound adjustment
may be erased in a few days in the following cases:
–When you unplug the power cord.
–When a power failure occurs.
Getting Started
When the TV is equipped with the plural SCART terminals,
refer to the manual supplied with the TV to check the
available video signals for each terminal, then connect
SCART cable correctly.
For TV and video format
This unit cannot convert the video signals (S-video or
Composite). When the video signal of one video component
is different from that of the other (for example, one is
S-video, the other is Composite), you may not see the
pictures appropriately. In this case, unify the video signals of
all the video components into S-video or Composite, or you
need to switch the video signal of TV each time you change
the source.
•You can use T-V LINK function if you connect the T-V LINK
compatible TV and VCR to this unit with a fully wired
SCART cables. For details on T-V LINK, refer also to the
manuals supplied with the TV and the VCR.
•Connect SCART cable to EXT-2 terminal on your JVC's
T-V LINK compatible TV for T-V LINK function.
•Some TV, VCR, and STB support this type of data
communication. For complete details, refer also to the
manuals supplied with these equipments.
