Using the unit with a car audio system
XL-PV390SL comes with the car adaptor and car audio cassette adaptor.
• Car adaptor (CA-R456J or CA-R457J)
• Car audio cassette adaptor (CA-RC6)
To connect to a car audio system:
Connect the car audio cassette adaptor to the unit’s headphones jack. (When doing this, keep the unit’s
VOLUME control at a medium setting.)
Depending on the automobile used, noise may occur, and in that case, it is recommended that a KS-U32 noise filter (optional) be
used.
Note:
It may not be possible to use the unit with some types of car stereo owing to restrictions imposed by the construction of the car audio
cassette adaptor.
For further details, refer to the instructions of the part concerned.
Listening precautions
Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high volume.
Hearing experts advise against continuous extended play.
If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discon-
tinue use.
Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create a
traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.
You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use
in potentially hazardous situations.
Even if your headphones or earphones are an open-air type de-
signed to let you hear outside sounds, don’t turn up the volume
so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level”
adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can
actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BE-
FORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and
clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
• Set the dial and leave it there.
Rechargeable batteries
• Only the BN-R1211J battery can be recharged.
• If the power delivered by the batteries lasts for a very short
time after recharging, it means that the batteries’ service life is
over. Do not use them any more.
• Recharging already charged batteries will shorten their service
life.
• When recharging batteries for the first time or when they have
not been used for a long period of time, the play time may be
shorter than usual. In a case like this, repeatedly recharge and
discharge the batteries. This will restore them to their regular
state.
• Do not allow any metal objects to touch the terminals of re-
chargeable batteries since this may cause short-circuiting
which is dangerous.
• Do not peel off the plastic covering on the rechargeable batter-
ies. Short-circuiting may occur which is dangerous.
Dry cell batteries / rechargeable
batteries
To prevent damage to the batteries and electrolyte leakage, heed
the following points.
• Align the
,
and
.
polarities properly when inserting the bat-
teries.
• Do not mix different types or makers of batteries or old and
new batteries.
• Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit for a
long period of time.
• Do not throw batteries into a fire, and do not short-circuit, dis-
assemble or subject them to excessive heat.
• Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.
Carrying dry cell batteries /
rechargeable batteries around
When putting dry cell or rechargeable batteries in a pocket or
bag, ensure that no other metal objects such as a necklace are
placed together with them. Contact with metal may cause short-
circuiting which, in turn, may cause a fire.
When purchasing rechargeable
batteries
As a safety precaution, the portable CD players made by JVC
have a construction designed to make it impossible to recharge or-
dinary batteries.
To use rechargeable batteries, be absolutely sure to purchase the
rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries designed especially for this unit.
Special rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries:
BN-R1211J (set of 2)
For details, check with your dealer.
When purchasing AC adaptor
To use AC adaptor, be absolutely sure to purchase the AC adap-
tor designed especially for this unit.
AC adaptor: AA-R4513
For details, check with your dealer.
When driving a car
In the interest of traffic safety, do not operate the unit while driv-
ing.
CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded with the audio
CD format can be played back, though some may
not be played back because of the disc characteris-
tics or recording condition.
