MANUEL D'INSTRUCTIONS

GEBRUIKSAANWIJZING

Disconnect the mains plug to shut the power off completely. The STANDBY/ON ⏻/1 button in any position does not disconnect the mains line. The power can be remote controlled.

To reduce the risk of electrical shocks, fire, etc.:

  1. Do not remove screws, covers or cabinet.
  2. Do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.

ACHTUNG

  • Do not block the ventilation openings or holes. (If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.)
  • Do not place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the apparatus.
  • When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and local rules or laws governing the disposal of these batteries must be followed strictly.
  • Do not expose this apparatus to rain, moisture, dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

ACHTUNG

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

- When not in use

When not using the unit for an extended period of time, disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet.

- AC power cord

  • Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
  • When unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet, always grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.
  • Do not modify the power cord in any manner. Do not bend it sharply or twist it.
  • Consult your dealer when damage, disconnection or contact failure is found with the power cord.
  • In case of lightning, unplug the AC power cord.

- Do not disassemble the unit.

• Foreign objects and liquid

  • Do not insert any metallic objects into the unit.
  • If water or some liquid gets inside the unit, unplug the power cord from the outlet and consult your dealer.

- Avoid installing the unit in the following places:

  • Where the temperature may become excessively high or low; the recommended temperature range is between 5^ and 35^ .
    – Where subject to vibrations.
  • Where it is excessively humid, such as in a bathroom.
    – In a badly ventilated place.
  • Near strong magnetic fields.

- Do not use the unit in direct sunlight or leave it in a closed automobile, etc.

The unit might be exposed to high temperatures above 40^ C.

- Ventilation

Do not block the ventilation holes of the unit; otherwise heat cannot escape from the unit.

- CD pickup lens

Do not leave the disc compartment cover open; otherwise the CD pickup lens might be contaminated with dust. Do not touch the lens with fingers.

- Condensation

Moisture may form on the CD pickup lens when:

  • A heater has just been switched on in the room where the unit is used.
  • The unit is in a place with smoke or high humidity.
  • The unit has just moved from a cold place to a warm room.
    If the unit has condensation inside, it may not function correctly. Should this occur, turn on the unit and wait one or two hours before use.

- Do not place magnetic objects near the speakers.

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

- Keep the unit away from a TV.

Do not place the unit near a TV or avoid using the unit when the TV is turned on; otherwise the TV picture could be distorted.

- Carrying handle

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

Operation on household AC

1 Connect the supplied AC power cord to the AC IN \~ jack on the rear panel of the unit.
2 Plug the AC power cord into an AC power outlet.

Cautions

  • Use only the JVC power cord provided with this unit to avoid malfunction or damage to the unit.
  • Even when you turn off the unit by pressing the STANDBY/ON ⏻/I button, a very small current continues to flow. 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.

Operation on batteries Installing batteries

1 Open the battery compartment cover by pressing down the two tabs.

JVC RC-ST3 - Operation on batteries Installing batteries - 1

natural_image Technical line drawing of a mechanical bracket or mounting plate (no text or symbols)

2 Install eight R20P (SUM-1)/D (13F) batteries.

Insert the batteries with and positioned correctly referring to the drawing above the battery compartment.

3 Replace the cover.

Battery replacement

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

For better battery usage

  • When making an important recording, use of new batteries (preferably alkaline batteries with a longer service life) is recommended to avoid any possible failure.
  • To prevent the power from being accidentally turned on, remove the batteries when carrying the unit by hand or in the trunk of a car, thus avoiding wasteful battery consumption.
  • Continuous operation of the unit causes the battery power to be consumed quicker than non-continuous operation.
  • Operation of the unit in a cold place causes the battery power to be consumed more quickly than in a warm place.

Cautions

If batteries are used incorrectly, it may result in electrolyte leakage or they may explode.

  • Make sure that the batteries are installed with the positive and negative terminals positioned correctly.
  • 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.
  • Remove the batteries when operating the unit on the household AC; though the power supply is automatically switched from the batteries to the household AC when the AC power cord is connected.
  • If chemicals leaking from batteries come in contact with your skin, wash them off immediately with water. If chemicals leak on the surface of the unit, clean the unit completely.
