CD CHANGER OPERATIONS  
We recommend that you use the JVC MP3-  
compatible CD changer with this unit.  
How are MP3 tracks recorded?  
MP3 tracks can be recorded in “folders.”  
During recording, the tracks and folders can be  
arranged in a way similar to arranging tracks and  
folders of computer data.  
Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every track  
and folder can be linked to and be accessed  
from the root.  
This unit cannot read MP3 “tracks” (word “file” is  
not used to indicate MP3 files, “track” is used in  
this manual) recorded on CD-Rs, CD-RWs or  
CD-ROMs. However, by using the JVC MP3-  
compatible CD changer, you can playback your  
original CD-Rs and CD-RWs 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 is the average number of bits that one  
second of audio data will consume. The unit used is  
Kbps. To get a better audio quality, choose a higher  
bit rate. The most popular bit rate for encoding is  
128 Kbps.  
Incompatible with ID3-tag  
ID3-tag is extra information data stored within an  
MP3 track such as album title, performer name,  
song title, recording year, music genre and a  
brief comment.  
• This unit cannot show ID3-tag on the display.

• The use of C-120 or longer tape is not  
recommended, since characteristic deterioration  
may occur and this tape easily jams in the pinch  
rollers and the capstans.  
To clean the heads  
The function below is also provided to ensure the  
longer life of the cassette deck.  
Ignition key-off release  
When you turn off the ignition key with a cassette  
in the compartment, the unit automatically  
releases the tape from its head.  
• Clean the heads after every 10 hours of use  
using a wet-type head cleaning tape (available  
at an audio store).  
When the head becomes dirty, you may realize  
the following symptoms:  
– Sound quality is reduced.  
– Sound level decreases.  
– Sound drops out.  
• Do not play dirty or dusty tapes.  
• Do not touch the highly-polished head with any  
metallic or magnetic tools.  
To keep the tape clean  
• Always store the tapes in their storage cases  
after use.  
• Do not store tapes in the following places:  
– Subject to direct sunlight  
– With high humidity  
– At extremely hot temperatures

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW  
Handling discs  
Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read  
their instructions or cautions carefully.  
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.  
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back on  
this unit because of their disc characteristics,  
and for the following reasons:  
This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs,  
CD-Rs (Recordable), and CD-RWs (Rewritable).  
This unit is not compatible with MP3 discs,  
but can operate a JVC MP3-compatible CD  
changer.  
— Discs are dirty or scratched.  
— Moisture condensation on the lens inside  
the unit.  
— The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.  
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time  
since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than  
that of regular CDs.  
• CD-Rs or CD-RWs are susceptible to high  
temperatures or high humidity, so do not leave  
them inside your car.  
• Do not use 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  
damage to discs. For example,  
— Stickers or labels may shrink and warp a  
disc.  
— Stickers or labels may peel off so discs  
cannot be ejected.  
How to handle discs  
When removing a disc  
from its case, press down  
the center holder of the case  
and lift the disc out, holding it by the edges.  
• Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not  
touch its recording surface.  
When storing a disc into its case, gently insert  
the disc around the center holder (with the  
printed surface facing up).  
• Make sure to store discs in their cases after  
use.  
To keep discs clean  
A dirty disc may not play  
correctly. If a disc does  
becomes dirty, wipe it with a  
soft cloth in a straight line from  
center to edge.  
— Print on discs may get sticky.  
Read instructions or cautions about labels and  
printable discs carefully.  
To play new discs  
New discs may have some  
rough spots around the inner  
and outer edges.  
If such a disc is used, this unit  
may reject the disc.  
CAUTIONS:  
• Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CDs) into the  
loading slot. (Such discs cannot be ejected.)  
• Do not insert any disc of unusual shape—like a  
heart or flower; otherwise, the unit will  
malfunction.  
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or any  
heat source or place them in a place subject to  
high temperature and humidity. Do not leave  
them in a car.  
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with  
a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.  
Moisture condensation  
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the  
CD player in the following cases:  
• After starting the heater in the car.  
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.  
Should this occur, the CD player may  
malfunction. In this case, eject the disc and leave  
the unit turned on for a few hours until the  
moisture evaporates.  
• Do not use any solvent (for example,  
conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner,  
benzine, etc.) to clean discs.

unit and the CD, but will be annoying. We recommend that you stop CD play while  
driving on such rough roads.
