If noise interference is caused when receiving AM broadcast by a tuner/receiver located nearby, relocate it or this unit, or turn off either one. · Moving the unit Before moving the unit, first remove all discs. Turn the power off, making sure the standby indicator is on. Then remove the AC power cord from the AC outlet. SETTING UP Connecting the unit This compact disc changer/player needs to be connected to an amplifier/receiver for audio reproduction. CAUTION Do not connect the AC power cord until all other necessary connections have been made. 1. Audio connection Connect the analog (OUTPUT) ports on the back of this unit with the CD or AUX input ports of the amplifier/receiver using the supplied audio cords (red and white). Compact discs · Use only compact digital audio discs Only audio compact discs identified by the logo on the right can be played back with the unit. Also the unit can display the text information in CD text discs identified by the logo on the right. Audio cord (White) LEFT OUTPUT COMPULINK-3 (SYNCHRO) TEXT COMPULINK DIGITAL (OPTICAL) ' (Red) RIGHT To input audio jack of the amplifier/receiver · Be sure to insert the plug firmly into the proper ports. · Be sure to match the output and input channels--RIGHT to RIGHT and LEFT to LEFT. If your audio unit has a digital optical input, you may connect the DIGITAL (OPTICAL) port on the back of this unit to it using the optional digital cord. Operation · Place only discs in the disc storage Do not put anything other than discs in slots of the disc storage. · Turn the power off if a problem occurs If an unusual condition arises, turn the power off immediately. If the condition persists whenever the power is turned on, consult your JVC dealer. · Do not pull the AC cord Do not pull the cable when unplugging the AC cord from the AC outlet or this component -- hold and pull the plug body. · Set the sound volume carefully Be careful in setting the sound volume on your amplifier/receiver when playing a CD, which has almost no background noise unlike analog records and tapes.

Setting the level too high and then playing a CD could damage the speakers. · Protect the unit against condensation Condensation on the unit could disrupt the proper transmission of the disc-reading laser beam, causing noise or malfunction. If condensation occurs due to excessive humidity or sudden temperature change, leave the unit turned on for a couple of hours to dry -- consult your JVC dealer if this does not correct the condition.
