Turning on/off the BBEII function
The BBEII* 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 BBEII
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 BBEII 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.
BBE
Each time you press BBE, the BBEII function changes as follows.
BBE 1
BBE 2
BBE 3

As the number gets higher, the BBEII function becomes stronger.
When shipped from the factory, the BBEII function is set to “BBE 2.”
To cancel the BBEII function, select “BBE OFF.”

Controlling the volume automatically (Audio Cruise)
You can select the proper cruise mode for your car.
This unit changes the volume level automatically (at 3 possible levels) based on the driving
speed of your car by detecting the alternator’s generating frequency (Audio Cruise).
If you want to use this mode, follow the procedure below. When shipped from the factory, this
mode is set to “CRUISE OFF.”
• CRUISE 1:
• CRUISE 2:
Select this if your car is relatively quiet.
Select this if your car is relatively loud.
The volume increase rate is twice as much as that of the CRUISE 1
setting.

If Audio Cruise does not function correctly
You may need to store the idling speed into memory to make Audio Cruise function correctly.
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 8”appears 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.

and
marks.
DIGITAL AUDIO
How to handle CDs
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.
Center holder
• 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.
When playing a CD-R (Recordable)
You can play back your original CD-Rs on this receiver.
• Before playing back CD-Rs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.
• Some CD-Rs recorded on CD recorders may not be played back on this receiver because of their disc
characteristics, and of the following reasons:
– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation occurs on the lens inside the unit.
– The pickup lens inside the CD player is dirty.
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs.
• CD-RWs (Rewritable) cannot be played back on this receiver.
• Do not use the CD-Rs with stickers or sticking labels on the surface. They may cause malfunctions.
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.
