Introduction  
We would like to thank you for purchasing one of our JVC products.  
Before operating this unit, read this manual carefully and thoroughly to  
obtain the best possible performance from your unit, and retain this manual  
for future reference.  
Power sources  
• When unplugging the unit from the wall outlet, always pull  
on the plug, not the AC power cord.  
About This Manual  
This manual is organized as follows:  
• The manual mainly explains operations using the  
buttons on the remote control.  
You can use the buttons both on the remote control and  
on the main unit for the same operations if they have  
the same or similar names (or marks), unless mentioned  
otherwise.  
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet  
hands.  
Moisture condensation  
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in the  
following cases:  
The illustrations used in this manual are of UX-J66V  
unless mentioned otherwise.  
• After starting heating in the room  
• In a damp room  
• Basic and common information that is the same for many  
functions is grouped in one place, and is not repeated for  
each procedure. For instance, we do not repeat the  
information about turning on/off the unit, setting the  
volume, changing the sound effects, and others, which are  
explained in the section “Common Operations” on pages 9  
to 11.  
• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm place  
Should condensation occur, the unit may malfunction. In this  
case, leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the  
moisture evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it  
in again.  
• The following symbols are used in this manual:  
Gives you warning and caution to prevent  
damage or risk of fire/electric shock.  
Furthermore, it gives you information about  
what is not good for obtaining the best possible  
performance from the unit.  
Others  
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit,  
unplug the power cord and consult your dealer before  
operating any further.  
• If you are not going to operate the unit for an extended  
period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall  
outlet.  
Gives you information and hints you should  
know.  
DO NOT disassemble the unit since there are no  
user serviceable parts inside.  
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and  
consult your dealer.  
Precautions  
Installation  
Which compact discs can be used?  
• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor  
too cold—between 5˚C and 35˚C.  
Many types of compact discs are sold for a variety of uses.  
The player can play the following compact discs:  
• Install the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to  
prevent internal heat buildup in the unit.  
• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.  
• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference  
with TV.

Connecting Other Equipment  
Use a screwdriver to rotate the voltage selector so the voltage  
number the voltage mark is pointing at is the same as the voltage  
where you are plugging in the unit. (See the back cover page.)  
To connect an audio equipment  
You can connect audio equipment—used only as a playback  
device.  
DO NOT plug in before setting the voltage selector  
on the rear of the unit and all connection  
procedures are complete.  
• DO NOT connect any equipment while the power  
is on.  
• DO NOT plug in any equipment until all  
connections are complete.  
Now, you can plug the AC power cord.  
• If the wall outlet does not match the AC plug, use the  
supplied AC plug adaptor.  
Be sure that the plugs of the audio cords are colored: White  
plugs and jacks are for left audio signals, and red ones for  
right audio signals.  
IMPORTANT: Be sure to check all connections to be  
done before plugging the AC power cord into a wall outlet.

Disc Introduction  
This unit has been designed to playback the following CDs:  
• CD (Audio CD)  
• CD-R (CD-Recordable)  
How are MP3 files recorded and played back?  
MP3 “tracks (files)” can be recorded in “group”—folders or  
directories, in PC terminology.  
• CD-RW (CD-Rewritable)  
• MP3 disc (MP3 files recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW)  
During recording, the tracks and groups can be arranged  
similarly to the tracks and folders/directories of computer  
data. “Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every track and  
group can be linked to the root.  
What is MP3?  
MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1  
(or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format  
with a data compression ratio of 1:10 (128 kbps*). By using  
MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contains 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 uses kbps (1,000 bits per  
second). To get a better audio quality, choose a higher bit  
rate. The most popular bit rate for encoding (recording) is  
128 kbps.  
In compliance with ISO 9660, the maximum allowable depth  
of nested directories—so called “hierarchy”—is eight  
(inclusive of the root).  
Playback order, track search order, and group search order of  
the MP3 tracks recorded on a disc are determined by the  
writing (or encoding) application; therefore, playback order  
may be different from the one you have intended while  
recording the groups and the tracks.  
The illustration shows an ordinary example of how MP3  
tracks are recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW, how they are  
played back and how they are searched for on this unit.  
• The numbers in circles next to the MP3 tracks ( ) indicate  
the playback order and search order of the MP3 tracks.  
Normally this unit plays back MP3 tracks in the recorded  
order.  
MP3 disc structure  
On an MP3 disc, each song (material) is recorded as a file.  
Files are grouped into a directory (or folder). Directories can  
also include other directories, creating hierarchical directory  
layers. (See “How are MP3 files recorded and played back?” ).  
• The numbers inside the groups indicate the playback order  
and search order of the groups on an MP3 disc. Normally  
this unit plays back MP3 tracks in the groups in the  
recorded order.  
This unit manages files and directories as “tracks” and  
“groups.” This unit can recognize up to 255 tracks, up to 64  
groups per disc. The unit ignores those exceeding the  
maximum numbers and cannot play them back.  
The groups marked with asterisk (*) will be skipped since  
they do not include any MP3 tracks.  
About MP3 discs  
MP3 group/track configuration:  
• MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout time.  
(It varies due to the complexity of the recording configuration.)  
• When making an MP3 disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 as  
the disc format.  
Hierarchy  
Root  
• This unit does not support multisession recording.  
• This unit can play MP3 files only with the following file extensions—  
“.MP3”, “.Mp3”, “.mP3”, and “.mp3.”  
1
• Files other than MP3 are ignored.  
• Some MP3 discs may not be played back because of their disc  
characteristics or recording conditions.

• Usually you can play back your original CD-Rs or CD-  
RWs recorded in music CD format. However, sometimes  
they may not play depending on their characteristics or  
recording conditions.  
1 Press CD 0.  
The unit automatically turns on and the disc  
tray comes out.  
• Before playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions  
or cautions carefully.  
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play on this unit because  
of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if  
the player’s lens is dirty.  
2 Place a disc correctly on the circle of the  
disc tray, with its label side up.  
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is  
because the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for  
regular discs.  
CORRECT  
INCORRECT  
• When using a CD single (8 cm), place it on the inner  
circle of the disc tray.  
General notes  
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping  
your discs and the mechanism clean.

listening to without affecting the recording level.  
• If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static,  
the unit may be too close to a TV. Increase the distance  
between the TV and the unit.
