How to disable demo mode of JVC-MXC220

[bmgeomat]

Hi guys,

I hope this forum can help me out. I bought this old JVC home audio system in good condition. The seller does not have the user manual and the problem is that it continues to be in demo mode. It works fine , just anoying becuase in the middle of song diffrerent equalizer settings keep changing. Does anyone know how to turn off demo mode on this system? I have also gone to jvc.com but it does not have user manual on this system.
Please advise.

Thanks.

Hi guys,

...rethink the phrase good condition and it works fine...

Sorry, but IMHO no, it isn't and no, it doesn't...most electronic stuff that has a demo mode usually has a button somewhere on the unit itself or on the remote that will activate the demo feature, at your option...although there is the possibility you need to depress one or more buttons while powering on...one would think the original owner would be privy to that info...Generally, unplugging a unit will put it into default wherein user set options may be lost and things like demo will be halted, things start off at square-one...if it automatically goes to demo even after a power-down, there is most likely a problem...it could have taken an AC hit...probably why it was sold in the first place...you could check for stuck/sticky buttons...buuut...

next time the demo starts, press the button just next to the standby button, and the demo will come to an immediate halt

Make sure the unit is on. Press the FM Mode /Mute -Demo button (right next to the power) press it untill you get to either mono or auto (-for stereo). That will take the unit out of the demo mode. next turn the music jog dial (located just above the preset buttons) untill you get to which ever setting you choose. Hope this helps.

Wow. If he's been dealing with that garish demo mode for three years now, odds are he either fixed it, killed the unit, or killed himself.

I appreciate the info on turning off the demo mode on the old JVC unit I have. It would sure help if I could find a user's manual somewhere-I've checked everywhere I can think of on the web.
Anyone out there have any ideas. It's a JVC MX-C220.

I guess I'm stuck to posting here until I can start a new thread.(looks like I have to post 4 more times here.) I'd sure like to find a manual for an older JVC MXC220.

Chances are there is another model very similar whose manual would explain most of the workings on mine. Any suggestions?

I'm sure I can eventually figure it out on my own, but I need to shut off random play of cds. Now it constantly goes from one song on one cd to another song on another cd. I'd hope some manual would tell me how to change that.

Hey, this is my 5th post, so hopefully I can go to a more appropriate forum and look for the manual.

( I can't find the manual on line either- not even from JVC! )
