CD CHANGER OPERATIONS
We recommend that you use the JVC MP3-
compatible CD changer with your unit.
How are MP3 files recorded?
MP3 files can be recorded in “folders.”
During recording, the files and folders can be
arranged in a way similar to arranging files and
folders of computer data.
“Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every file
and folder can be linked to and be accessed from
the root.
By using this CD changer, you can play back
your original CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs
(Rewritable) recorded either in audio CD format
or in MP3 format.
• If you have another CD changer, consult your
car dealer or JVC car audio dealer for
connections.

MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts
Group (or MPEG) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a
file format with a data compression ratio of 1:10
(128 Kbps*). That means, by using MP3 format,
one CD-R or CD-RW can contain 10 times as
much data volume as a regular CD can.

bit rate. The most popular bit rate for encoding is
128 Kbps.
