SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Prevention of Electric Shocks, Fire Hazards and Damages

- Even when the STANDBY/ON button is set to STANDBY, a very small current will flow. When the unit is turned on, the display window lights in blue. When the unit is in standby mode, the display window turns off. (Note, however, that the display window does not light even when the unit is turned on if the unit is operated on batteries.) To save power and for safety when not using the unit for an extended period of time, disconnect the power cord from the household AC outlet.

- Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

- When unplugging from the wall outlet, always grasp and pull the plug, not the power cord.

- Consult your nearest dealer when damage, disconnection, or contact failure is found with the cord.

- Do not bend the cord sharply, or pull or twist it.

- Rating label is placed on the exterior of the bottom.

- Do not modify the power cord in any manner.

- Do not remove screws to disassemble the unit and do not touch anything inside the unit to avoid accidents.

- Do not insert any metallic objects into the unit.

- Unplug the power cord when there is a possibility of lightning.

- If water gets inside the unit, unplug the power cord from the outlet and consult your dealer.

- Do not block the ventilation holes of the unit so that heat can escape.

- Do not install the unit in a badly ventilated place.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Do not use this unit in direct sunlight or leave the unit in a closed automobile (or yacht, etc.) where it would be exposed to high temperatures above 40^ C.

1 Avoid using the unit in the following places:

• Where the temperature may become excessively high or low; the recommended temperature range is 5^ and 35^ .
• 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 disc door so that the lens is not contaminated by dust. Do not touch the lens.

3 Condensation

Condensation may occur in the following cases, in which the unit may not operate correctly:

• The unit is in a room where a heater has just been switched on.
• The unit is in a place where there is smoke or high humidity.
• The unit has just moved from a cold place to a warm room.

In these cases, set the STANDBY/ON button to ON and wait one or two hours before use.

4 Volume control

Compact discs produce very little noise compared with analog records. If you adjust the volume by listening to the noise as you do with analog records, the speakers could be damaged by a sudden blast of sound when playback starts. Therefore, turn down the volume before starting and adjust it as required while playing a CD.

5 Safety mechanism

The unit incorporates a safety interlock mechanism which switches off the laser beam when the disc door is opened.

6 Do not place magnetic objects such as cassette tapes near the speakers.

Since the speakers contain magnets inside, do not place cassette tapes or magnetic cards nearby as recorded data could be erased.

7 Keep the unit away from the TV.

When the unit is used near a TV, the TV picture could be distorted. If this happens, move the unit away from the TV. If this does not correct the situation, avoid using the 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 it could damage your hearing.
• For safety, do not drive while listening with headphones.

10 Carrying handle

Do not raise or lower the carrying handle with the telescopic antenna extended, to avoid damaging the antenna. Position the carrying handle so that it does not interfere with operation.

Operation on household AC

Connect the AC power cord.

CAUTIONS:

• Use only with the JVC power cord provided with this unit to avoid malfunction or damage to the unit. Remove batteries when using the power cord.
• Be sure to unplug the power cord from the outlet when going out or when the unit is not in use for an extended period of time.

3 Replace the cover.

Checking batteries

When the tape speed or output sound level decreases, or CD playback becomes intermittent, replace all batteries with fresh ones.

When making an important recording, use new batteries (preferably alkaline batteries for a longer service life) to avoid any possible failure.

For better battery usage

• Continuous operation of the unit causes the battery power to be consumed more quickly than noncontinuous operation.
• Operation of the unit in a cold place causes the battery power to be consumed more quickly than in a warm place.

CAUTIONS:

• When not using the unit for a long time (more than two weeks) or when using the household AC, remove the batteries to avoid a malfunction or damage to the unit.
• When the JVC power cord provided with this unit is connected, the power is automatically switched from the batteries to the household AC even when the batteries are loaded.

However, remove the batteries when using the power cord.

CAUTIONS WHEN USING BATTERIES:

When batteries are used incorrectly, it may result in the leakage of chemicals from the batteries or they may explode. The following care should be taken:

• Check that the positive and negative terminals of the batteries are positioned correctly and load them as shown in the figure on the left.
• Do not mix new and old batteries together, or mix different types of batteries.
• Do not try to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
• Remove the batteries when the unit is not to be used for an extended period of time.

If chemicals from the batteries come in contact with your skin, wash them off immediately with water. If chemicals leak onto the unit, clean the unit completely.

Notes on cassette tapes

• Use only type-I normal tapes. The recording/playback characteristics of this unit are those for normal tapes, which have different characteristics from CrO_2 and metal tapes.
• The use of tapes longer than 120 minutes is not recommended, since characteristic deterioration may occur and these tapes easily jam in the pinch roller and the capstan.
• Loose tape may cause trouble. Gently tighten the tape with a pencil as shown in the figure below.

Cleaning the heads, capstan and pinch roller

Cleaning is important!

When the tape is running, magnetic powder and dust naturally accumulate on the heads, capstan and pinch roller. When they become too dirty;

• Sound quality deteriorates.
• The sound output level drops.
- The previous recording is not completely erased.
- Recording is not performed satisfactorily.

To avoid these, clean the heads, capstan and pinch roller every 10 hours of use.

Pinch roller Capstan Head (recording/playback) Erasure head

Open the cassette holder. Clean the heads, capstan and pinch roller.

For effective cleaning, use a cleaning kit available at an audio store.

After cleaning, make sure that the cleaning fluid has dried completely before loading a cassette.

Cautions:

• Keep magnets and metallic objects away from the head. If the head becomes magnetized, noise will increase and the sound will deteriorate.
• Demagnetize the recording/playback head every 20 to 30 hours of use with a head demagnetizer available at an audio store. When demagnetizing the head, the unit should be turned off.
  As the erasure head of the unit is of magnetic type, do not demagnetize it.
• Do not use anything other than alcohol for cleaning. Thinner and benzine will damage the rubber pinch roller.

Cleaning the CD pickup lens

If the CD pickup lens is dirty, the sound may be degraded.

Open the disc door and clean the lens.

Use a blower (available at a camera store, etc.) to blow off dust on the lens.
