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.
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.
• 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 9
and 10.
• The following marks are used in this manual:
Gives you warnings and cautions to prevent a
damage or risk of fire/electric shock.
Also gives you information on operation which
is not good for obtaining the best possible
performance from the unit.
Gives you information and hints you had better
know.
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.
Power sources
• When unplugging from the wall outlet, always pull the
plug, not the AC power cord.
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.
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.
DO NOT disassemble the unit since there are no
user serviceable parts inside.

CAUTIONS:
• When not using the unit for a long time (more than two
weeks) or when always using on household AC, remove the
batteries to avoid a malfunction or damage to the unit.
• When the JVC power cord provided with this unit is
connected, the power is automatically switched from the
batteries to the household AC even when the batteries are
inserted. Remove the batteries when using the power cord.
When the batteries are nearly exhausted, every time the unit
is used, the power will be turned off after about 1 minute.
When making an important recording, use new batteries
(preferably alkaline batteries with a longer service life) to
avoid any possible failure.
For better battery usage
Continuous operation of the unit causes the battery power to
be consumed quicker than noncontinuous operation.
Operation of the unit in a cold place causes the battery power
to be consumed more quickly than in a warm place.
• For power supply, the use of household AC is
recommended, when continuous operation of the unit is
required over a longer period of time.
To operate on a car battery
Use an optional exclusive car adapter (JVC model CA-R120)
to connect the DC IN 12V jack on the rear of the unit to a
cigarette lighter socket of a car.
Resetting the Unit
If normal operations are disabled, reset the unit.
1 Turn off the power.
2 Press the RESET button on the rear of the
unit with the tip of a small screwdriver or
similar object.
3 Turn on the power.
4 Set the clock. (See page 9.)
If necessary, preset the desired stations again. (See page 11.)

About the disc indicators
Each disc indicator corresponds to the disc tray of the same
number.
• The disc marker indicates that the corresponding disc is
currently selected.
• The disc indicator goes off when the unit has detected that
there is no CD on the corresponding disc tray.
Playing back a CD
On the unit, press 3CD1, 3CD2 or
3CD3, corresponding to the disc you
want to play.
Alternatively, press CD 6, and the
disc currently selected starts to play.
On the remote control, press one of
the CD playback buttons (1 to 3)
corresponding to the disc you want to
play.
NOTES ON CD-R AND CD-RW DISCS
• This unit can play back CD-R and CD-RW discs as well as
conventional audio CDs. However, note that a CD-R or a
CD-RW disc must be “finalized” so that it can be played
back on this unit correctly.
“Finalization” is a process to create a TOC (Table Of
Contents) section on a recorded disc. If you attempt to play
back a non-finalized disc, especially a non-finalized CD-
RW disc on this unit, malfunction may occur since no TOC
section exists on the disc.
• When a non-finalized CD-R or a CD-RW disc is loaded or
ejected, it may take a considerably long time, but this is not
a malfunction.
• This unit does not support track skipping function. Even if
a CD-R disc or a CD-RW disc is created so that some
tracks are skipped during playback, this unit also plays
such tracks.
Loading CDs
1 Press CD1 0, CD2 0, or
CD3 0for the disc tray you
want to load a CD onto.
The unit automatically turns on, and
the selected disc tray comes out.
2 Place a disc correctly on the circle of the disc
tray, with its label side up.
• When using a CD single (8 cm), place it on the inner
circle of the disc tray.
3 Press the same button you
have pressed in step 1.
The disc tray closes.
4 Repeat steps 1 to 3 to place
other CDs.
