Using rechargeable batteriesPower Supply Preparations Note:
Refer to the specifications (page 6) for information on operating times when using rechargeable batteries or dry-cell batteries.
Using the AC adaptorConnect the AC adaptor supplied.Refer to “Using rechargeable batteries” for connection instruc-
tions.
Removing batteriesPush up on the battery in
the direction indicated by
the arrow. Then lift it out.
If the battery lidcompartmentcomes looseSlide the lid back into place
horizontally.
Using the car adaptorXL-PV300 comes with a car adaptor. For XL-PG3/PG5, obtain the
optional car adaptor as required.
•Car adaptor (CA-R455)
The car adaptor can be used to recharge the unit’s batteries while
in the car.
Using dry-cell batteries(not included)After disconnecting the AC adaptor, insert two “R6” (LR6) alka-
line batteries.
The procedure for inserting and removing dry-cellbatteries is identical to that for rechargeable bat-teries.Battery indicatorThis 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.•The length of time the unit will continue to operate after the
battery indicator starts flashing and when the power is cut off
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.
3When recharging is complete, unplug the
AC adaptor from the power outlet and theDC IN jack.•It takes approximately 3 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 bat-
tery has reached the end of its service life and should be re-
placed.
•Recharging is made 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 in not a malfunction.
Notes:Make sure to recharge the batteries before using them. The unit
cannot be used to charge rechargeable batteries other than those
specifically designed for it.
XL-PG5 comes with the rechargeable batteries. For XL-PG3/
PV300, obtain the optional batteries as required.
•Rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries (BN-R122) ............................ 2 pcs.
Recharging procedure1Insert the special rechargeable batteries
into the unit.2Connect the AC adaptor.
The unit is in the standby condition when the AC adaptor is con-
nected. The primary circuit is always “live” as long as the AC
adaptor is connected to an electrical outlet.
If the unit malfunctions or freezes during use,then disconnect the power sources (the ACadaptor and batteries).Re-connect the power source and continue op-eration.When recharging starts, the “ ” charging indicator flashes on
and off on the display.

For your reference:•It is also possible to press the ¢ button while the unit is in
stop status to change the first track to be played. (All tracks are
played eventually, regardless of which is played first.)
•Program play is not possible in the random mode.
Resume playThis function allows you to listen from the beginning of the track
where play stopped because the unit was powered off (or
switched to stop status). It is useful when listening to CDs in the
car, etc.
For your reference:
•If the RESUME, NORMAL, RANDOM (play mode) selector is
put in the RESUME position, the all-repeat function will be ac-
tivated automatically as soon as the unit is powered on.
•If power is cut off near the end of a track (power off status),
playback may resume from the beginning of the next track in
some cases.
•If the unit is powered off while a disc was playing and then a
new disc is inserted, play will begin from the middle of the
new disc because the unit remembers the position where play
stopped on the previous disc.
Program playUp to 24 tracks can be entered in the programmed sequence.
Preparation:Put the unit in stop mode. (See page 3.)

desired tracks.5
•If “ ” is displayedNo more tracks may be added to the sequence.
•To confirm the contents of the programmed se-quencePress PROGRAM while the disc is playing. (The numbers of
the programmed tracks appear on the display panel in se-
quence.)
•To delete the entire programmed sequencePress the 7 button.

This function minimizes sound interruption when vibrations are
encountered by utilizing audio data that has been stored ahead
of time (up to the following seconds’ worth).
For XL-PG4/PG5/PV300: approx. 40 seconds

The letters such as A in the various illustrations refer to the descriptions in the “Location of Controls” section. (See page 3.)Triple Shock Protection (T.S.P.) FunctionUsing the unit with an audio systemThe T.S.P. uses digital signal compression technology. It is rec-
ommended that the T.S.P. be kept in the OFF position if the unit
is connected to a home audio system.
•The position of the T.S.P. switch can be changed during play,
but this may cause a slight interruption in the sound because
the disc’s rotational speed changes.
•During T.S.P. 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.

Accidental Operation Prevention Function (Hold Mode)This function causes the unit to ignore short, accidental button
presses.
The misoperation prevention function pre-vents the following:•Powering on the unit accidentally (which can cause the batter-
ies to go dead).
•Play being cut off unexpectedly in the middle of a selection.
The unit and wired remote control have HOLD switches, each of
which works independently.
To use the accidental operation preventionfunction•To prevent the unit from powering up accidentally, set the
HOLD switch to the HOLD position.
•To prevent the unit from unexpected operation during play,
set the HOLD switch to the HOLD position after playing the
disc.
OPEN button operationEven when the unit is in hold mode, the (CD) lid can be opened
or closed by pressing the OPEN button.
