JVC FS-5000 CD Shelf System Questions & Answers
Fm Radio signal?
There was a black wire included (with a metal "cap" to insert in the FM center connector) that served as the FM antenna, but in a pinch any wire can do, preferably about 33" long and with the insulation stripped from the last inch or so (or get creative and sand the last inch of varnish off a properly sized untwisted clothes hanger and gently bend to suit). Bare stranded wire should be twisted or folded until it's thick enough to firmly fit the middle "hole" of the FM antenna connector. Be careful that no strands of wire short to the metal ground "ring" surrounding the hole or the antenna won't work (although it won't burn out your amp like shorting the speaker wires would, it just won't work). Orient the wire horizontally or vertically for best reception. This unit also doesn't pick up FM very well if you're in a steel-framed building or away from windows in the general direction of the local transmitters, so moving the unit closer to a window may help dramatically. In bad reception areas you can get an external FM "rabbit ears" type antenna but you'll need the "European" style of 300 ohm to 75 ohm transformer to plug it into the unit's FM connector (one that has a bigger central connector "plug" than the usual US units). Some cable systems also still support FM, if yours does, a VHF/UHF/FM signal splitter and either the above mentioned transformer attached to flat 300 ohm cable or a plain "European" style connector attached to the end of the 75 ohm round black cable will do the trick. Some Radio Shacks have them. Good luck!
Radio antenna
Any metal wire 'should' be able to pick up a radio signal. Try some electrical wire.
Cd player does not work
The CD spins while the laser tries to focus on the disc, and that's how it knows a CD is in. It's not detecting the disc and so the CD stops. This could be simply dirt on the laser lens, and you could try using a cotton swab to gently wipe it off. If that doesn't take care of it, the laser assembly needs to be replaced. This unit cost about $200 or more if I recall, so it might be worth getting a repair estimate. If this were a typical cheap boombox it would be better to replace it.
I have a JVC RX-501 reciver and 2 speakers Sony(200W). I start the reciver and After 3-4 seconds it S make a sound like" bun bun " that S all... After 1-2 minute again..
The sound you're hearing could be due to a variety of reasons, such as a loose connection, a malfunctioning component, or a power issue. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:
Check the speaker connections: Ensure that the speaker wires are properly connected to the receiver and the speakers. Make sure that the positive and negative terminals are correctly aligned. You can also try disconnecting and reconnecting the wires to ensure a secure connection.
Check the power source: Ensure that the receiver is plugged into a working power outlet and that the power cord is securely connected to the receiver. You can also try plugging the receiver into a different power outlet to see if that resolves the issue.
Check the volume level: Ensure that the volume level on the receiver is not set too high. High volume levels can cause distortion and other issues.
Reset the receiver: Try resetting the receiver to its default settings. To do this, turn off the receiver and unplug it from the power source. Wait for a few minutes, then plug the receiver back in and turn it on.
If these suggestion don't help, you may have to seek professional repair.

1997 JVC RC-X270 does not read CDs
A bit of basic knowledge is required first;
Insert CD, the first thing the processor expects is to scheive Focus.
When Focus is acheived, the Spindle Motor will turn.
Either the Laser cannot Focus or there is an issues with the Spindle Motor.
Which is it ... if you know, then you will know which part or board has the issue.

How can I fix the auto mute on my jvc E100SL?
If your JVC E100SL receiver is showing an "Auto Mute" message and you are unable to perform a factory reset successfully, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the issue:
- Check speaker connections: Ensure that all speaker wires are securely connected to the receiver and the speakers. Loose or disconnected speaker wires can trigger the auto mute feature as a safety measure.
- Check the speaker impedance: Verify that the speakers you are using with the receiver have the correct impedance (measured in ohms) that matches the receiver's specifications. Using speakers with incompatible impedance can trigger auto mute.
- Inspect the wiring: Check all audio input and output connections to make sure they are properly connected and not damaged. A faulty or damaged cable can cause the auto mute feature to activate.
- Unplug and reset: Turn off the receiver and unplug it from the power source for about 10-15 minutes. This will allow the receiver to reset, which might resolve any temporary glitches or errors causing the auto mute.
- Check for overheating: Overheating can trigger safety features like auto mute. Ensure that the receiver has adequate ventilation and is not placed in a confined space. Clean any dust or debris from the vents to improve airflow.
- Perform a hard reset: If the factory reset procedure is not working, you can try performing a hard reset. To do this, locate the reset button on the receiver (usually a small pinhole) and use a paperclip or a similar tool to press and hold the button for about 10-15 seconds. This should reset the receiver to its default settings.
- Update firmware (if applicable): Check the JVC website or contact their support to see if there are any firmware updates available for your receiver. Updating the firmware can sometimes resolve software-related issues.
- Seek professional assistance: If none of the above steps resolve the auto mute issue, it's best to contact JVC customer support or take the receiver to a qualified audio equipment repair technician. They will have the expertise and diagnostic tools to diagnose and fix the problem accurately.
Always be cautious when attempting to troubleshoot or repair electronic equipment. If you are not confident with electronic repairs, it's best to seek help from a professional to avoid causing further damage to the receiver or risk of injury.
