How to read this manual  
How to use the M MODE button  
If you press M MODE, the receiver goes into  
functions mode, then the number buttons and  
5/buttons work as different function buttons.  
The following methods are used to made the  
explanations simple and easy-to-understand:  
• Some related tips and notes are explained in  
“More about this receiver” (see pages 26 and  
27).  
Ex.: When number button 2 works as  
MO (monaural) button.  
• Button operations are mainly explained with  
the illustrations as follows:  
Press briefly.  
Press repeatedly.  
Time countdown indicator  
Press either one.  
To use these buttons for original functions  
again after pressing M MODE, wait for  
5 seconds without pressing any of these buttons  
until the functions mode is cleared.  
• Pressing M MODE again also clears the  
functions mode.  
Press and hold until  
your desired response  
begins.  
Press and hold both  
buttons at the same  
time.  
Caution on volume setting:  
Discs produce very little noise compared  
with other sources. Lower the volume  
before playing a disc to avoid damaging  
the speakers by the sudden increase of the  
output level.  
The following marks are used to indicate...  
: Built-in CD player operations.  
: External CD changer operations.

Maintenance  
How to clean the connectors  
To keep discs clean  
Frequent detachment will deteriorate the  
connectors.  
A dirty disc may not play correctly.  
If a disc does become dirty, wipe  
it with a soft cloth in a straight line  
from center to edge.  
To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe  
the connectors with a cotton swab or cloth  
moistened with alcohol, being careful not to  
damage the connectors.  
• Do not use any solvent (for  
example, conventional record cleaner, spray,  
thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean discs.  
To play new discs  
New discs may have some rough  
spots around the inner and outer  
edges. If such a disc is used, this  
receiver may reject the disc.  
Connector  
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 receiver turned on for a few hours  
until the moisture evaporates.  
How to handle discs  
When removing a disc from  
Center holder  
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 into the cases after  
use.  
Do not use the following discs:  
Stick-on

the same type which is first detected if a disc  
includes both audio CD (CD-DA) files and  
MP3/WMA files.  
• This receiver can play back multi-session  
discs; however, unclosed sessions will be  
skipped while playing.  
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play  
back on this receiver because of their disc  
characteristics, and for the following causes:  
– Discs are dirty or scratched.  
– Moisture condensation occurs on the lens  
inside the receiver.  
– The pickup lens inside the receiver is dirty.  
– CD-R/CD-RW on which the files are  
written with “Packet Write” method.  
– 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.  
• 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.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS  
To prevent short circuits, we recommend that you disconnect the battery’s negative terminal and make all electrical connections before installing the receiver.  
Be sure to ground this receiver to the car’s chassis again after installation.  
Notes:  
• Replace the fuse with one of the specified rating. If the fuse blows frequently, 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 GAIN” setting to prevent the speakers from being damaged (see page 21 of the INSTRUCTIONS).  
• To prevent short-circuit, cover the terminals of the UNUSED leads with insulating tape.  
Heat sink  
• The heat sink becomes very hot after use. Be careful not to touch it when removing this receiver.
