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.
Be sure to read this instruction manual carefully before operating your new stereo system.
In it you will find all the information you need to set up and use the system.
If you have a query that is not answered by the manual, please contact your dealer.
Features
Here are some of the things that make your System both powerful and simple to use.
s The controls and operations have been redesigned to make them very easy to use, freeing you to
just enjoy the music.
· With JVC's COMPU PLAY you can turn on the System and automatically start the Radio or
CD Player with a single touch.
s The System incorporates Active Hyper Bass PRO circuitry to faithfully reproduce low frequency
sounds.
s A 45-station preset capability (30 FM and 15 AM ) in addition to auto-seek and manual tuning.
s CD options that include repeat, random and program play.
s Timer functions; Daily Timer and Sleep Timer.
s You can connect various external units, such as an MD recorder.

depending on their characteristics or recording conditions.)
How This Manual Is Organized
· Basic information that is the same for many different functions - e.g. setting the volume - is given in the section
`Basic Operations', and not repeated under each function.
· The names of buttons/controls and display messages are written in all capital letters: e.g. FM/AM, "NO DISC".
· System functions are written with an initial capital letter only: e.g. Normal Play.
Use the table of contents to look up specific information you require.
We have enjoyed making this manual for you, and hope it serves you in enjoying the many features built into your System.

· NEVER REMOVE THE TOP COVER FROM THE UNIT. SERIOUS INJURY MAY OCCUR IF THE SYS-
TEM IS OPERATED WITHOUT THE TOP COVER.
