CD CHANGER OPERATIONS  
We recommend that you use one of the CH-X series with your KW-XC770.  
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.

MAINTENANCE  
Handling cassettes  
The cassette deck built in this unit requires very little attention, but you will be able to extend  
the life of the cassette deck if you follow the instructions below.  
To clean the heads  
• Clean the heads after every 10 hours of use  
using a wet-type head cleaning tape (available  
at an audio store).  
When the head becomes dirty, you may realize  
the following symptoms:  
– Sound quality is reduced.  
– Sound level decreases.  
– Sound drops out.  
• Do not play dirty or dusty tapes.  
• Do not touch the highly-polished head with any  
metallic or magnetic tools.  
To keep the tape clean  
• Always store the tapes to their storage cases  
after use.  
• Do not store tapes in the following places:  
– Subject to direct sunlight  
– With high humidity  
– At extremely hot temperatures  
CAUTIONS:  
• Do not play the tapes with peeling labels; otherwise, they can damage the unit.  
• Tighten tapes to remove slack since loose tape may become entangled with the mechanism.  
• Do not leave a cassette in the cassette compartment after use, as the tape may become slack.  
The function below is also provided to ensure the longer life of the cassette deck.  
Ignition key-off release  
• When you turn off the ignition key with a cassette in the compartment, the unit automatically  
releases the tape from its head.  
33  
Handling CDs  
The CD player built in this unit has been designed only to play back the CDs bearing the  
COMPACT  
mark. Other discs cannot be played back.  
DIGITAL AUDIO  
Center holder  
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.  
• 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 8 cm (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 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 unit.  
• 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 unit 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 unit is dirty.  
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs.  
• CD-RWs (Rewritable) cannot be played back on this unit.  
• Do not use the CD-Rs with stickers or sticking labels on the surface. They may cause  
malfunctions.
