For U.S.A

This equipment has been tested and found to comply 

with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant 

to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are 

designed to provide reasonable protection against 

harmful interference in a residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate 

radio frequency energy and, if not installed and 

used in accordance with the instructions, may cause 

harmful interference to radio communications. 

However, there is no guarantee that interference will 

not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment 

does cause harmful interference to radio or television 

reception, which can be determined by turning the 

equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to 

try to correct the interference by one or more of the 

following measures: 

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipment and 

receiver. 

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit 

different from that to which the receiver is connected. 

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV 

technician for help.

CAUTION

Changes or modifications not approved by JVC 

could void the user’s authority to operate the 

equipment.
