These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential   installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used   in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no   guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference   to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to   try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:   Caution on volume setting   Temperature inside the car...   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.   If you have parked the car for a long time in hot or cold   weather, wait until the temperature in the car becomes   normal before operating the unit.   – Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.   – Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.   – Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.   – Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.   MAINTENANCE   How to clean the connectors   Wipe the connectors with   a cotton swab or cloth   Caution   Changes or modifications not approved by JVC could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.   To keep discs clean   Wipe in a straight line from center of disc to   edge. Do not use liquid cleaners, thinners, or   benzene.   IMPORTANT FOR LASER PRODUCTS   1. CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT   2. CAUTION: Do not open the top cover.
