Thank you for purchasing the JVC Compact Component System.
We hope it will be a valued addition to your home, giving you years of enjoyment.

Here you will find all the information you need to set up and use the system.
For questions that are not be answered in the manual, please contact your dealer.

Features
With IflumiMagic COMPU PLAY, there is no mistake of which buttons to press for instant power on
and playback. If you approach the system, the sensor detects your action, illuminates the function
buttons and makes them blink. Once you’ve chosen the source — CD, for instance — everything
else happens automatically: power to the system is turned on, the input is set to CD, and CD
playback begins. That’s IllumiMagic COMPU PLAY, and it makes music just a touch away.
Messages appear on the display to guide you through the quick and easy operation of the functions
that apply to a blinking IllumiMagic COMPU PLAY button.
Pre-programmed live surround effects like D-CLUB (Dance Club), HALL, STADIUM as well as S.E.A.
effects like ROCK, POPS, and CLASSIC so you don’t have to be a sound engineer to get treat effects.
CD changer function can operate 3 discs.
¢ Discs can be changed during play using the TRIPLE TRAY.
* Continuous, program or random play of 3 discs.
The three timers, DAILY Timer, ONCE REC (Recording ) Timer, and SLEEP Timer are extremely easy to set.
How This Manual Is Organized
In this manual we have incorporated some special features:
¢ Basic information that is the same for many different functions is grouped in one place, and
not repeated in each procedure. For instance, in the section on playing a CD, we do not
repeat the information about setting the volume and the sound conditioning, which are
talked about in the Using the Amplifier section.
* Name of buttons and controls are written in all capital letters like this: POWER.
¢ When we are talking about the Function, rather than the BUTTON or DISPLAY, only the
first letter is capitalized.
The manual has a table of contents to help you easily look up what you want to know.
We’ ve enjoyed making this manual for you, and hope you will use it to enjoy the sound and many
features built into your CA-DST.
IMPORTANT CAUTIONS
1. Installation of the Unit
¢ Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold (Between 5°C and 35°C or
41°F - 95°F).
¢ Leave sufficient distance between the Unit and a TV.
* Do not use the Unit in a place subject to vibrations.
2. Power cord
* Donot handle the power cord with wet hands!
* Some power (17 watts) is always consumed as long as the power cord is connected to the
wall outlet.
« When unplugging the Unit from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the power cord.
3. Malfunctions, etc.
¢ There are no user serviceable parts inside. If anything goes wrong, unplug the power cord
and consult your dealer.
¢ Do not insert any metallic object into the Unit.

A. Using the Supplied Wire Antenna
The FM Wire Antenna provided can be connected to a
FM 75-ohm COAXIAL as temporary measure.
Extend the supplied wire antenna horizontally.
For Germany
B. Using the Coaxial Type Connector (Not Supplied)
A 75-ohm antenna with coaxial type connector (DIN
45 332) should be connected to the FM 75-ohm
COAXIAL terminal.
For Other Countries
C. Using an FM 75-Ohm Antenna Cable (Not Supplied)
Connect the FM connector on the FM 75-ohm
COAXIAL terminal.
FM Wire Antenna
If reception is poor,
connect the outside
antenna.
Before attaching a 75 ohm coaxial lead
(the kind with a round wire going to an
