Introduction
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.
Types of CD you can play
Many types of compact discs are sold for a variety of uses. The Video CD Player can play the following compact discs.
· Video CD without Playback Control function: for audio and video (moving picture) reproduction.
· Video CD with Playback Control function: featuring user interrupting operation and super-fine still pictures for audio and video
(moving picture) reproduction.
· MP3 disc
· Digital Audio CD, including 8-cm CDs: for audio reproduction.
· CDs you cannot play: Do not play SVCDs, DVDs and CD-ROMs on this System. Playing CD-ROMs may generate a noise which
can damage your speakers.
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, Cassette Deck, or
CD Player with a single touch.
The great SEA (Sound Effect Amplifier) effects Rock, Pop and Classics are provided.
The Active Bass EX. (Extension) circuitry faithfully reproduces low frequency sounds.

Two Decks enabling tape dubbing.
You can use conventional tapes and CDs for Karaoke with the voice masking system. With an optional microphone, you can replace the
lead singer's voice on your favorite songs with your own.

Timer functions; Daily Timer, REC (Recording) Timer, and Sleep Timer.
You can connect various external units, such as an MD recorder.
The CD Player can play back a CD-R and CD-RW.
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".
· If the button names on the Unit and the Remote Control are the same, the description on where the button is used will be omitted.
· 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.
IMPORTANT CAUTIONS

· Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold. (Between 5°C and 35°C or 41°F and 95°F.)
· Leave sufficient distance between the System and a TV.
· Do not use the System in a place subject to vibrations.
2 Power cord
· Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!
· Some power is always consumed as long as the power cord is connected to the wall outlet.
· When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the power cord.
3 Malfunctions, etc.
· There are no user serviceable parts inside. In case of system failure, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer.
· Do not insert any metallic object into the System.
