Turning on/off the BBE function  
The BBE* function restores the brilliance and clarity of the original live sound in recording,  
broadcasts, etc.  
When a speaker reproduces sound, it introduces frequency-dependent phase shifting, causing  
high-frequency sounds to take longer to reach the ear than low frequency sounds. The BBE  
function adjusts the phase relationship between the low, mid and high frequencies by adding  
a progressively longer delay time to the low and mid frequencies, so that all frequencies  
reach the listener’s ears at the proper time.  
In addition, the BBE function boosts low and high frequencies, which loudspeakers tend to be  
less efficient in reproducing, through dynamic, program-driven augmentation.When combined  
with the phase compensation feature, the resulting sound has a clearer, more finely detailed  
“live” presence.

mode is set to “CRUISE OFF.”  
• CRUISE 1:  
• CRUISE 2:  
Select this if your car is relatively quiet.

NOTICE that a number of factors, such as electric power steering, wipers, power windows, air  
conditioner, etc. do generate noises and, as a result, may cause Audio Cruise not to function  
correctly. If this is the main cause of malfunction, connect the memory backup lead (yellow  
lead) directly to the car battery to prevent these noises from affecting Audio Cruise.

CD CHANGER OPERATIONS  
We recommend that you use one of the CH-X series (ex: CH-X1200) with your unit.  
If you have another CD automatic changer, consult your JVC car audio dealer for connections.  
For example, if your CD automatic changer is one of the KD-MK series, you need a cord (KS-U15K)  
for connecting it to this unit.  
Before operating your CD automatic changer:  
• Refer also to the Instructions supplied with your CD changer.  
• If no discs are in the magazine of the CD changer or the discs are inserted upside  
down, “NO DISC” will appear on the display. If this happens, remove the magazine and  
set the discs correctly.  
• If “RESET 1 - RESET 8appears on the display, something is wrong with the connection  
between this unit and the CD changer. If this happens, check the connection, connect  
the connecting cord(s) firmly if necessary, then press the reset button of the CD changer.

How to handle CDs  
Center holder  
When removing a CD from its case, press down the center holder of  
the case and lift the CD out, holding it by the edges.  
• Always hold the CD by the edges. Do not touch its recording surface.  
When storing a CD into its case, gently insert the CD around the  
center holder (with the printed surface facing up).  
• Make sure to store CDs into the cases after use.  
To keep CDs clean  
A dirty CD may not play correctly. If a CD does become dirty, wipe it with  
a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.  
To play new CDs  
New CDs may have some rough spots around the inner and outer edges.  
If such a CD is used, this unit may reject the CD.  
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 CD and leave the  
unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates.  
CAUTIONS:  
• Do not insert 8cm (3 3/16") CDs (single CDs) into the loading slot. (Such CDs cannot be  
ejected.)  
• Do not insert any CD of unusual shape — like a heart or flower; otherwise, it will cause a  
malfunction.  
• Do not expose CDs 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.  
• Do not use any solvent (for example, conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner, benzine, etc.)  
to clean CDs.  
About mistracking:  
Mistracking may result from driving on extremely rough roads.This does not damage the  
unit and the CD, but will be annoying.  
We recommend that you stop CD play while driving on such rough roads.
