Precautions
Thank you for purchasing this JVC product. Please read these
instructions through carefully before starting operation to ensure
that you will derive the optimum performance and a long service
life from your unit.
Safeguarding against electric shocks, fire hazards
and damage
1) A very low current will still flow even when the POWER (for
Canada and U.S.A.)/ (for other countries) button is set at
STANDBY. To save power and ensure safety when the unit is
not going to be used for an extended period of time, disconnect
the power cords from the household AC outlet. (See page 10)
2) Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
3) To unplug the power cord from the household AC outlet,
always take hold of the molded plug part and pull the plug free
rather than pulling the cord.
4) If the power cord is damaged or found to have a disconnected
wire or a contact failure, consult your dealer.
5) Do not bend the cord at a sharp angle, and do not pull or twist it.
6) Do not modify the power cord in any way.
7) Do not remove the screws in order to disassemble the unit, and
do not touch any of the parts inside the unit.
8) Do not insert metallic objects into the unit.
9) Unplug the power cord during electrical storms.
10) If water should find its way inside the unit, unplug the power
cord from the outlet, and consult your dealer.
11) Do not install the unit in a poorly ventilated location.
Installation
1) Avoid placing the unit on or adjacent to an amplifier. This is to
prevent the humming caused by the unit’s proximity to some
types of amplifiers. Move the unit where it will not be affected
by the amplifier.
2) Avoid installing the unit where the ambient temperature will
exceed 35 °C (namely, in direct sunlight, near a heating appli-
ance, etc.) or drop below 5 °C, where it is very humid or dusty,
or where the unit will be subject to vibration.
3) The unit may not function properly if it is moved suddenly from
a cold place (0 °C) to a warm place since condensation may form
inside the unit. In such a case, leave the unit standing for about
couple of hours, after which time it should function properly.
Disc care
• Storing CDs
•
Always ensure that each CD is stored in its own case.
• Do not place CDs in direct sunlight, near a heating appliance
or any other location which is susceptible to high tempera-
tures.
• If cellophane tape, an adhesive sticker or some other form of
glue is present on the label side, clean it off before use.
• Do not stick adhesive labels or write anything on a CD.
• Do not bend CDs.
• Do NOT insert shaped CDs, such as CDs in a heart, flower or
other shape, because their shape does not match the shape of the
CD tray, and using them will give rise to malfunctioning.
Cleaning the cabinet
Never use benzine or paint thinners to clean the cabinet as they
may mar the unit’s surface finish.
