Introduction, Precautions, About this manual

INTRODUCTION

Precautions

Load compact disc only

Never insert anything other than a compact disc into any part of the player.

If a problem persists

If something goes wrong, turn off the power immediately. If the same problem reoccurs when the power is turned on once more, turn off the power again and consult your JVC dealer.

Handling the power cord

When unplugging from the wall socket, always pull the plug body, never the power cable.

Volume settings

A CD player has almost zero background noise. Because of this, the technique of listening to the background level and then setting the volume before the music starts, as used with analog turntables or tape decks, cannot be used. If you raise the volume level too high, speaker damage may result.

Condensation

The CD player uses optical components. If it is moved from a cold location to a warm one, or is used in a room subject to excessive humidity or where a fire has just been lit, condensation could form on the optical components.

This may prevent the laser beam from being properly transmitted and thus causes noise or even a malfunction.

If condensation has formed and the CD player does not function correctly, we recommend that you leave it turned on for an hour or two. If at the end of this time the CD player still does not function properly, please consult your JVC dealer.

Transporting the unit

When carrying this unit, it is best to avoid either tilting it or turning it upside-down. Where you cannot avoid doing so, please remove the disc first.

Using compact discs

Compact discs are made of plastic and can be easily damaged. If the disc is dirty, scratched, warped or otherwise damaged, the digital information may not be picked up correctly.

Applicable discs

This unit can only be used with compact discs bearing the mark below. Never use discs of other types.
