Using rechargeable batteries (included in XL-PG39SL for the U.K. only)

Be sure to recharge the rechargeable batteries BN-R1211 before using them.

For information about these, see “When purchasing rechargeable batteries” on page 6.

Recharging procedure
1 Insert the special rechargeable batteries into the unit.
Caution:

Do not open the battery lid too wide. It can break if you forcibly open it beyond approximately 90°.

2 Connect the AC adaptor. (included in XL- PG39SL for the U.K. only)

AC power outlet

Notes:

•To operate the unit on batteries, the AC adaptor must be dis- connected from the DC IN jack.

•It takes approximately 10 hours to recharge the rechargeable batteries.

•Rechargeable batteries have a service life of approximately 300 charge-discharge cycles. If the operating time on one full charge becomes noticeably shorter than it used to be, the batteries have reached the end of their service life and should be replaced.

•Recharging takes place only when the unit is powered off. (It is not possible to recharge the batteries while playing a CD.)

•The AC adaptor and rechargeable batteries may become warm while recharging is in progress. This is normal and is not a mal- function.

Using dry-cell batteries (not included)

After disconnecting the AC adaptor, insert two “R6” (LR6) alkaline batteries.

The procedure for inserting and removing dry-cell batteries is identical to that for rechargeable batteries.

Battery indicator

Battery indicator

This indicator flashes on and off when the batteries are almost out of power. Power is cut off completely a short while later.

Rechargeable batteries: Recharge batteries.Dry-cell batteries: Replace batteries with new ones.

Notes:

•The length of time the unit can continue further operation after the battery indicator starts flashing differs depending on the type of batteries used.

•The battery indicator may not flash if rechargeable batteries, other than those designated by JVC, are used.

Tip:

Turning off the Anti-Shock Protection EX will save the battery power more or less. For details, see “Anti-shock Protection EX” on page 4.

This function has been developed to achieve excellent performance against sound interruption caused by vibrations. You will be able to enjoy listening to music during jogging (not vigorous jogging).

This function is achieved by utilizing the high-performance servo circuit and audio data that has been stored in the memory ahead of time (up to 45 seconds worth).

Normally, the “ANTI SHOCK” indicator lights up on the display and the Anti-Shock Protection EX is in effect.

ANTI SHOCK indicator

When the disc is played, as the audio data gradually stored in the memory, the “ANTI SHOCK” indicator changes as follows:

[Fully stored]

To cancel the Anti-Shock Protection EX

Press the A.S.P. button in stop mode or during playback. The “ANTI SHOCK” indicator goes out on the display.

To activate the Anti-Shock Protection EX again

Press the A.S.P. button again.

Notes:

•During Anti-Shock Protection EX operation, the disc rotates at a higher rate than usual in order to collect extra audio data. This may cause the batteries to run out faster and could result in a slight increase in disc rotation noise.

•The Anti-Shock Protection EX function can be switched ON and OFF during playback. However, this may cause a slight interruption in the sound because the disc’s rotational speed changes.
