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 units in the
following cases:
• After starting heating in the room
• In a damp room
• If the units are brought directly from a cold to a warm
place
Should this occur, the system may malfunction. In this case,
leave the units turned on for a few hours until the moisture
evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, and then plug it in
again.
Others
• Shouldany metallic object or liquid fallinto a unit, unplug
the units and consult your dealer before operating any
further.
• If you are not going to operate the units for an extended
period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall
outlet.
DO NOT disassemble the units since there are
no user serviceable parts inside.
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and
consult your dealer.
About This Manual
This manual is organized as follows:
• The manual mainly explains operations using the buttons
and controls on the units. You can also use the buttons
on the remote control if they have the same or similar
names (or marks) as those on the units.
If operation using the remote control is different from
that using each 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 system, setting the
volume, changing the sound effects, and others, which
are explained in the section “Basic Settings” and
“Common Operations” on pages 10 to 13.
• The following marks are used in this manual:
Gives you warnings and cautions to
prevent from a damage or risk of fire/
electric shock.
Also gives you information which is not
good for obtaining the best possible
performance from the units.
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 units in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent internal heat buildup in the units.
• Leave sufficient distance between the units and the TV.
• Keepthespeakers away from theTVto avoidinterference
with TV.
DONOT install the units ina location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust or vibration.
We would like to thank you for purchasing one of our JVC products.
Before operating this compact component system, read this manual
carefully and thoroughly to obtain the best possible performance
from your system, and retain this manual for future reference.

Tuner, TD-UXG6 Cassette Deck, and SP-UXG6 Speaker
System.
You can easily connect these units using the system control
cables equipped on the rear panel of the units.
•To prevent malfunction, connect the external wire as
illustrated.
DO NOT change vertical stacking order of the
units as illustrated to avoid heat buildup.
•To connect the cables, press the middle of the connector
body until it clicks into the connector on the rear panel.
•To disconnect, if needed, pull the connector out pushing
bothsides of the connector body.Never pull out the cables
themselves.
When connecting the system control cables to
the connectors
Make sure to connect the cable to the connector
having the same name such as “FROM
CONNECTOR-A” and “TO CONNECTOR-A.”

Connecting Antennas
Supplied FM antenna
1 Attach the FM antenna to the FM 75 ΩCOAXIAL
terminal on the rear panel of XT-UXG6.
2 Extend the FM antenna.
3 Fasten it up in the position which gives you the
best reception.
About the supplied FM antenna
The FM antenna supplied with this unit can only be
used as temporary measure. If reception is poor,
you can connect an outdoor FM antenna.
To connect an outdoor FM antenna
Before connecting it, disconnect the supplied FM antenna.
Connecting MD Recorder XM-G6
You can also connect the MD recorder XM-G6 (not
supplied), specifically designed for FS-G6. This unit will
complete FS-G6 compact component system.
When you connect and use this unit, refer to the Instructions
supplied with it for details.
• DO NOT install XM-G6 until you turn off the
system and unplug theAC power code, otherwise
installation should fail to damage the system.
• DONOT changethe verticalstacking orderof XM-
G6 as illustrated to avoid heat buildup.
