This unit incorporates a noise filter in the power circuit. However, with some vehicles, clicking  
or other unwanted noise may occur. If this happens, connect the unit’s rear ground terminal  
to the car’s chassis using shorter and thicker cords, such as copper braiding or gauge wire. If  
noise still persists, consult your JVC car audio dealer.  
• It is recommended to connect to the speakers with maximum power of more than 50 W (both  
at the rear and at the front, with an impedance of 4 Ω to 8 Ω). If the maximum power is less  
than 50 W, change “AMP GAIN” setting to prevent the speakers from being damaged (see

Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play  
back on this unit because of their disc  
characteristics, and for the following causes:  
Discs are dirty or scratched.  
The maximum number of characters for file/  
folder names vary among the disc format used  
(includes 4 extension characters<.mp3> or  
<.wma>).  
Moisture condensation occurs on the lens  
inside the unit.  
ISO 9660 Level 1: up to 12 characters  
ISO 9660 Level 2: up to 31 characters  
Romeo*: up to 128 (72) characters  
Joliet*: up to 64 (36) characters  
Windows long file name*: up to 128 (72)  
characters  
* The parenthetic figure is the maximum  
number of characters for file/folder names  
in case the total number of files and folders  
is 313 or more.  
The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.  
CD-R/CD-RW on which the files are  
written with Packet Writemethod.  
There are improper recording conditions  
(missing data, etc.) or media conditions  
(stain, scratch, warp, etc.).  
CD-RWs may require a longer readout time  
since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower  
than that of regular CDs.  
This unit can recognize the total of 512 files,  
of 200 folders, and of 8 hierarchies.  
This unit can play back the files recorded in  
VBR (variable bit rate).  
Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:  
Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal  
stuck to the surface.  
Discs on which labels can be directly  
printed by an ink jet printer.  
Using these discs under high temperatures  
or high humidity may cause malfunctions or  
damages to the unit.  
The files recorded in VBR have a discrepancy  
in elapsed time display, and do not show the  
actual elapsed time. This difference becomes  
noticeable especially after performing the  
search function.  
This unit cannot play back the following files:  
MP3 files encoded with MP3i and  
MP3 PRO format.  
MP3 files encoded in an unappropriated  
format.  
MP3 files encoded with Layer 1/2.  
WMA files encoded with lossless,  
professional, and voice format.  
WMA files which are not based upon  
Windows Media® Audio.  
WMA files copy-protected with DRM.  
Files which have the data such as WAVE,  
ATRAC3, etc.  
The search function works but search speed is  
not constant.  
Playing an MP3/WMA disc  
This unit can play back MP3/WMA files  
with the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma>  
(regardless of the letter caseupper/lower).  
This unit can show the names of albums,  
artists (performer), and ID3 Tag (Version 1.0,  
1.1, 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4) for MP3 files and for  
WMA files.  
This unit can display only one-byte  
characters. No other characters can be  
correctly displayed (see page 11).  
This unit can play back MP3/WMA files  
meeting the conditions below:  
Bit rate: 8 kbps 320 kbps  
Sampling frequency:  
48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz (for MPEG-1)  
24 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 16 kHz (for MPEG-2)

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS  
To prevent short circuits, we recommend that you disconnect the battery’s negative terminal and make all electrical connections before installing the unit.  
Be sure to ground this unit to the car’s chassis again after installation.  
Rear view  
Notes:  
Replace the fuse with one of the specified rating. If the fuse blows frequently, consult your JVC car audio dealer.  
Heat sink  
If noise is a problem...  
This unit incorporates a noise filter in the power circuit. However, with some vehicles, clicking or other unwanted noise may occur. If this happens, connect the units rear ground terminal to the  
cars chassis using shorter and thicker cords, such as copper braiding or gauge wire. If noise still persists, consult your JVC car audio dealer.  
It is recommended to connect to the speakers with maximum power of more than 50 W (both at the rear and at the front, with an impedance of 4 to 8 ). If the maximum power is less than  
50 W, change AMP GAINsetting to prevent the speakers from being damaged (see page 21 of the INSTRUCTIONS).  
The heat sink becomes very hot after use. Be careful not to touch it when removing this unit.
