SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”

This equipment has been disigned and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken

if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.

Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.

Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment) are

properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connec-

tions.

Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.

Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.

DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way–switch off, withdraw the

mains plug and consult your dealer.

DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.

DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has a

standby mode.

Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this.

Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.

DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal to watch

television whilst driving.

DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing.

DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.

Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.

DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or

legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.

DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.

ABOVE ALL

— NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case -this could result in a fatal electrical

shock.;

— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind

— it is better to be safe than sorry!

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

1. Avoid installing in the following places

● Where it could be subject to vibrations.

● Where it is excessively humid, such as in a bathroom.

● Where it could be magnetized by a magnet or speaker.

2. Pay attention to dust

Be sure to close the CD holder or CD tray so that dust does not

collect on the lens.

3. Condensation

In the following cases, condensation may occur in the unit, in which

case the unit may not operate correctly.

● In a room where a heater has just been switched on.

● In a place where there is smoke or high humidity.

● When the unit is moved directly from a cold to a warm room.

In these cases, set the button to STANDBY and wait 1 or 2

hours before use.

4. Volume setting

CDs produce very little noise compared with analog sources. If the

volume level is adjusted for these sources, the speakers may be

damaged by the sudden increase of output level. Therefore, lower

the volume before operation and adjust it as required during play.

Do not use this unit in direct sunlight where it would be exposed to high temperatures above 40°C (104°F).

5. Safety mechanism

This unit incorporates a safety interlock mechanism which switches

the laser beam on and off, so that when the CD holder or CD tray is

open, the laser beam stops automatically.

6. Do not place cassette tapes, etc. near the speakers

Since there are magnets in the speakers, do not place tapes or mag-

netic cards on them as recorded data could be erased.

7. Keep this unit away from your TV

When this unit is used near a TV, the TV picture could be distorted.

If this happens, move this unit away from the TV. If this does not

correct the situation, avoid using this unit when the TV is turned on.

8. Cleaning the cabinet

If the cabinet gets dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Never use

benzine or thinner as these could damage the surface finish.

9. When listening with headphones

● Do not listen at high volumes as this could damage your hearing.

● For safety, do not drive while listening to this unit.

● Attaching the speaker grille

Notes:

● The polarity of the two connected speakers will be the same if the

black speaker cords are connected to the · terminals. If the speak-

ers are connected with polarities reversed, stereo effect and tone will

be degraded.

● The speakers of this unit are not magnetically shielded. When they

are placed directly on or adjacent to a TV, the TV’s picture could be

distorted. Install the speakers more than 20 cm away from your TV.

● When connecting the speaker cord make sure that the wire core, not

the insulating cover, is connected to the speaker terminal. Otherwise,

sound cannot be heard.

● The speaker grilles can be removed.

● When removing.

1. Insert your fingers at the top and pull towards you.

2. Also pull the bottom towards you.

Speaker cord connection

POWER SUPPLY

A. Connection of AC power cord

● Connect the AC power cord after all other connections have been made.

CAUTIONS:

1.ONLY USE WITH JVC POWER CORD PROVIDED WITH THIS

UNIT TO AVOID MALFUNCTION OR DAMAGE TO THE UNIT.

2.BE SURE TO UNPLUG THE POWER CORD FROM THE OUT-

LET WHEN GOING OUT OR WHEN THE UNIT IS NOT IN USE

FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.

● First connect the car adapter to the DC IN 12 V jack, not the cigarette

lighter socket, because shorting of a plug on the car may cause the

fuse to blow out. In addition, be careful not to make a short-circuit

between the plugs.

● When using a car battery, be sure to use the specified car adapter

(JVC model CA-R120E) to prevent mishaps or damage resulting

from different polarity design.

B. Operation on car battery (DC 12 V)

Note:

When there is a power failure or the AC power cord is disconnected,

the timer/clock setting is erased from memory. Reset the clock when

the power supply is restored.
