About the cooling fan
 
A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel of the unit to prevent abnormal temperature inside the unit, thus assuring normal 
operation of the unit. The cooling fan automatically starts rotating to intake external cool air when the volume is increased 
up to more than a certain level.
*
 
À propos du ventilateur de refroidissement
 
Un ventilateur de refroidissement se trouve sur le panneau arrière de l’appareil afin d’éviter la création d’une température 
anormale à l’intérieur de l’appareil et permettre ainsi un fonctionnement normal de l’appareil. Le ventilateur de 
refroidissement commence à tourner et à aspirer de l’air frais automatiquement quand le volume est augmenté au-dessus 
d’un certain niveau.

Introduction 
Thank you for purchasing the JVC Micro Component 
System. 
We hope it will be a valued addition to your home, giving 
you years of enjoyment. 
Be sure to read this instruction manual carefully before 
operating your new stereo system. 
In it you will find all the information you need to set up and 
use the system. 
If you have a query that is not answered by the manual, 
please contact your dealer. 
Precautions 
Installation 
•Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor 
too cold—between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F).
•Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to 
prevent internal heat buildup inside the System.
•Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.
•Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference 
with TV. 
Power sources 
•When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always 
pull on the plug, not the AC power cord. 
Moisture condensation 
Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the System in 
the following cases:
•After starting to heat the room
•In a damp room
•If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm 
place
Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case, 
leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture 
evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again. 
Internal heat 
•A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel to prevent heat 
buildup inside the main unit (see page G-2). 
Others 
•Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the System, 
unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before 
operating any further. 
•If you are not going to operate the System for an extended 
period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.
 
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and 
consult your dealer. DO NOT install the System in a location near 
heat sources, or in a place subject to direct 
sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet 
hands. 
For safety, observe the following carefully:
 
•Make sure there is good ventilation around 
the main unit. Poor ventilation could 
overheat and damage the System.
•DO NOT block the cooling fan and the 
ventilation openings or holes. If they are 
blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the 
heat may not be able to get out.
DO NOT disassemble the System since there 
are no user serviceable parts inside.
