• After starting the heater in the car.  
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.  
Should this occur, the unit may malfunction.  
In this case, eject the disc and leave the unit  
turned on for a few hours until the moisture  
has evaporated.  
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges  
with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.

Electrical connections  
Installation  
IMPORTANT: A custom wiring harness (separately purchased) which is suitable for your car is recommended  
for connection between the unit and your car.  
This unit is designed to operate on 12 V DC, NEGATIVE ground  
electrical systems. If your vehicle does not have this system, a  
voltage inverter is required, which can be purchased at JVC car  
audio dealers.  
Prepare these before installation....  
• Consult your JVC car audio dealer or a company supplying kits for details.  
PRECAUTIONS on power supply and speaker connections  
Warnings  
• DO NOT connect the speaker leads of the power cord to the car battery; otherwise, the unit will be  
• To prevent short circuits:  
seriously damaged.  
–Disconnect the battery’s negative terminal and make all electrical connections before installing the unit.  
–Cover the terminals of the UNUSED leads with insulating tape.  
• Be sure to ground this unit to the car’s chassis again after installation.  
• BEFORE connecting the speaker leads of the power cord to the speakers, check the speaker wiring in your  
car.  
• Replace the fuse with one of the specified rating.  
• Connect speakers with a maximum power of more than 50 W (impedance of 4 Ω to 8 Ω). Otherwise,  
change the <AMP GAIN> setting. (See “Menu operations” on page 3.)  
• The heat sink becomes very hot after use. Be careful not to touch it when removing this unit.

General  
Symptom  
Remedy/Cause  
• If you turn off the power while listening to a track,  
playback will start from where it had been stopped  
previously next time you turn on the power.  
• If no operation is done for about 60 seconds
