13
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.

Each time you press BBE, the BBEII function changes as follows.

CD CHANGER OPERATIONS
We recommend that you use one of the CH-X series 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.

mark.
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 becomes 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 recevier.
• 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 recevier.
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.
