Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a JVC product.
Please read all instructions carefully before operation, to
ensure your complete understanding and to obtain the best
possible performance from the unit.
Precautions
Installation
• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor
too cold—between 5°C and 35°C.
• Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent internal heat buildup inside the System.
• Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.
• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference
with TV.
Power sources
• When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always
pull on the plug, not the AC power cord.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the System in
the following cases:
• After starting to heat the room
• In a damp room
• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm place
Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case,
leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture
evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.
Others
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the System,
unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before
operating any further.
• If you are not going to operate the System for an extended
period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and
consult your dealer.
How to Read This Manual
To make this manual as simple and easy-to-understand as
possible, we have adapted the following methods:
• Button and control operations are explained as listed in the
table below. In this manual, the operations using the
remote control is mainly explained; however, you can use
the buttons and controls on the center unit if they have the
same (or similar) name and marks.
•
Some related tips and notes are explained later in the
sections “Learning More about This System” and
“Troubleshooting,” but not in the same section
explaining the operations.
If you want to know more about
the functions, or if you have a doubt about the functions, go
to these sections and you will find the answers.
DO NOT install the System in a location near
heat sources, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet
hands.
For safety, observe the following carefully:
• Make sure there is good ventilation around
the center unit. Poor ventilation could
overheat and damage the System.
• DO NOT block the ventilation openings or
holes. If they are blocked by a newspaper or
cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get
out.
DO NOT disassemble the System since there
are no user serviceable parts inside.
Indicates that you press the button
briefly
.
Indicates that you press the button
briefly and repeatedly
until an option
you want is selected.
Indicates that you press one of the
buttons.
Indicates that you

Getting Started
Step 1: Unpack
After unpacking, check to be sure that you have all the
following items. The number in parentheses indicates the
quantity of each piece supplied.
• FM antenna (1)
• AM loop antenna (1)
• Remote control (1)
(A lithium coin battery CR2025 has been installed when
shipped.)
If any item is missing, consult your dealer immediately.
Step 2: Prepare the Remote Control
When you use the remote control for the first time, pull out
the insulation sheet.
Replacing the Battery in the Remote Control
If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases,
replace the battery.
Insert the battery into the remote control by matching the
polarity (+ and –) correctly.
• Wrap the battery with tape and insulate when throwing
away or saving it.
Step 1:Unpack the package and
check the accessories.
Step 2: Prepare the remote control.
Step 3: Connect the control cable.
Then connect antennas and
speakers. (See pages 4 and 5.)
Finally plug the AC power cord.
Now you can operate the System.
CAUTION
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

To connect the control cable
The control cable is connected to the player/tuner unit when
shipped. Connect it to the amplifier unit.
• When the amplifier unit and player/tuner unit are not
connected with the control cable, you cannot operate the
System.
• You can place the player/tuner unit at the side of the
amplifier unit.
To connect the AM loop antenna
Make sure to connect the wire correctly.
For better FM/AM reception
• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other
terminals, connecting cords and the AC power cord. Also,
keep the antenna away from metallic parts of the System,
connecting cords, and the AC power cord. This could cause
poor reception.
To connect the speaker cords
Make sure the both speakers are connected correctly and
firmly.
When connecting the speaker cords, match the polarity of
the speaker terminals: The black cord to (–), the red cord to
(+).
• If the AM loop antenna wire or speaker cords are covered
with vinyl, remove the vinyl to expose the tip of the
antenna wire or speaker cords by twisting the vinyl.
