VS-DT6-8(J)_EN.book Page 9 Monday, January 21, 2002 5:05 PM
Installing the Equipment on the Wall
The Center Unit and Speakers can be attached to a wall.

Attachment to a wall

The Center Unit weighs approximately 4.3 kg (9.5 lbs). When its buttons are operated, an additional force will be applied to it in the downward direction. Therefore, sufficient care must be taken when attaching to a wall to prevent any accidents caused by the Center Units falling off the wall. Before attaching the Center Unit to the wall, check the wall and other related aspects, and verify whether the strength of the wall will be sufficient not only to support the weight of the Center Unit itself but also to withstand the additional downward force which will be applied to it during operation. (Do not attach the Center Unit to a plywood or plasterboard wall. The Center Unit may fall and sustain damage as a result.) If you do not know the strength of the wall and other aspects, consult a qualified service person. The screws needed for attachment are not supplied. Use screws which are compatible with the strength and material of the pillar or wall. When attaching the Center Unit, the screws must be secured tightly in all three locations. Attaching the Center Unit to the wall by making only one or two holes for the screws makes for an unstable attachment and causes a safety hazard as the Center Unit may fall down.
Location of attachment to a wall
Care is required in selecting a location for attaching the Center Unit to the wall. Injury to personnel, or damage to the Center Unit, may result if the Center Unit is attached in a location which interferes with daily activities or a location that the users are liable to knock their bodies or heads against. Avoid a location above a bed, sofa, water tank, sink, etc. or in a passage.

Do not place anything on top of the Center Unit. Doing so may cause the Center Unit to fall, causing malfunctioning and/or injury. Do not climb onto the Center Unit or hang from it. Doing so may damage the Center Unit and/or cause injury. Special care must be taken in this respect when there are small children in the home. Avoid sandwiching the cords between the Center Unit and wall. This may upset the Center Units balance, causing the Center Unit to fall. Make sure that the cords will not interfere with daily activities and that the users will not trip over them. Do not pull the connected cords with excessive force. Check regularly that none of the screws are loose. In the event that the Center Unit has fallen, turn off the power, disconnect its power plug from the power outlet, and contact your dealer for an inspection and repairs. Continued use of the Center Unit may result in a fire or electric shocks. Do not place valuables (breakables) underneath the location where the Center Unit is attached. They will be damaged if the Center Unit should fall. The manufacturer accepts absolutely no liability for any accidents or damage resulting from inadequate assembly or mounting, insufficient strength of attachment, misuse or abuse, or natural disasters.
Now you can plug the AC power cord into the wall outlet, and your System is at your command! Before operating, verify that the display shows the clock. If malfunctions may occur, reconnect the power cord.
Changing the Display and Control Buttons Settings
You can change the direction of the characters and symbols on the display and the assignment of the functions to each control button on the Unit. Change the settings depending on whether the Unit is placed vertically or horizontally. The factory setting is V.

COMPU Play

JVCs COMPU PLAY feature lets you control the most frequently used System functions with a single touch. With One Touch Operation you can play a CD, turn on the radio, or listen to an external equipment with a single press of the play button for that function. One Touch Operation turns the power on for you, then starts the function you have specified. If the System is not ready (no CD in place), the System still powers on so you can insert a CD. How One Touch Operation works in each case is explained in the section dealing with that function. The COMPU PLAY buttons are:

CA U TIONS:

Attachment to a wall The Center Unit weighs approximately 4.3 kg. When its buttons are operated, an additional force will be applied to it in the downward direction. Therefore, sufficient care must be taken when attaching to a wall to prevent any accidents caused by the Center Unit's falling off the wall. Before attaching the Center Unit to the wall, check the wall and other related aspects, and verify whether the strength of the wall will be sufficient not only to support the weight of the Center Unit itself but also to withstand the additional downward force which will be applied to it during operation. (Do not attach the Center Unit to a plywood or plasterboard wall. The Center Unit may fall and sustain damage as a result.) If you do not know the strength of the wall and other aspects, consult a qualified service person (such as a qualified constructor). The screws needed for attachment are not supplied. Use screws which are compatible with the strength and material of the pillar or wall. When attaching the Center Unit, the screws must be secured tightly in all three locations. Attaching the Center Unit to the wall by making only one or two holes for the screws makes for an unstable attachment and causes a safety hazard as the Center Unit may fall down. Location of attachment to a wall Care is required in selecting a location for attaching damage to the Center Unit, may result if the Center daily activities or a location that the users are liable Avoid a location above a bed, sofa, water tank, sink, the Center Unit to the wall. Injury to personnel, or Unit is attached in a location which interferes with to knock their bodies or heads against. etc. or in a passage.
Example of attachment (Center Unit)
The procedure below is intended merely to illustrate how the Center Unit can be attached to a wall and does not make any guarantees for safety while using the Center Unit on a wall. Take into account such factors as the material and strength of the wall, the status of the reinforcing material, and the possible changes that will take place over time. The cords must be connected to the Center Unit before attaching to a wall. (See page 4.) 1. Select the place where the Center Unit is to be attached. 2. Mount three screws (not supplied) on the wall. (See the diagram below for the details of the size.) The supplied paper pattern will assist in determining the positions of the screws.

This may upset the Center Unit's balance, causing the Center Unit to fall Make sure that the cords wi!! not interfere with daily activities and that the users wi!! not trip over them. Do not pu!! the connected cords with excessive force. Check regularly that none of the screws are loose. In the event that the Center Unit has fallen, turn off the power, disconnect its power plug from the power outlet, and contact your dealer for an inspection and repairs. Continued use of the Center Unit may result in a fire or electric shocks. Do notplace valuables (breakables) underneath the location where the Center Unit is attached. They wi!! be damaged ffthe Center Unit should fa!!. The manufacturer accepts absolutely no liability for any accidents or damage resulting from inadequate assembly or mounting, insufficient strength of attachment, misuse or abuse, or natura! disasters.
Now you can plug the AC power cord into the wall outlet, and your System is at your command! Before operating, verify that the display shows the clock. If malfunctions may occur, reconnect the power cord.

JVC's COMPU PLAY feature lets you control the most frequently used System functions with a single touch. With One Touch Operation you can play a CD, turn on the radio, or listen to an external equipment with a single press of the play button for that function. One Touch Operation turns the power on for you, then starts the function you have specified. If the System is not ready (no CD in place), the System still powers on so you can insert a CD. How One Touch Operation works in each case is explained in the section dealing with that function. The COMPU PLAY buttons are:
