Playing a CD-R or CD-RW
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.
• This unit can only play back files of the same
type as those detected first if a disc includes

files.
• This unit can play back multi-session discs;
however, unclosed sessions will be skipped
while playing.
ENGLISH

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back on
this unit because of their disc characteristics,
or for the following reasons:
–Discs are dirty or scratched.
–Moisture condensation has occurred on the
lens inside the unit.
–The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.
–The files on the CD-R/CD-RW are written
using the “Packet Write” method.
–There are improper recording conditions
(missing data, etc.) or media conditions
(stained, scratched, warped, etc.).
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time
since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than
that of regular CDs.
• Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:
–Discs with stickers, labels, or a protective seal
stuck to the surface.
–Discs on which labels can be directly printed
by an ink jet printer.

edge.
• Do not use any solvents (for example,
conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner,
benzine, etc.) to clean discs.
To play new discs
Connectors
New discs may have some
rough spots around the inner
and outer edges. If such a disc
is used, this unit may reject the
disc.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the
unit in the following cases:
• After starting the heater in the car.
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.
Should this occur, the unit may malfunction.
In this case, eject the disc and leave the unit
turned on for a few hours until the moisture
has evaporated.
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges
with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.
Do not use the following discs:
Single CD (8 cm disc)

attaching USB device or turn on the power.
• For more details about USB operations, see page 5.
You can operate the USB device in the same way
you operate the files on a disc.
Caution on volume setting:
USB devices produce very little noise compared with
other sources. Lower the volume before playing
a USB to avoid damaging the speakers by sudden
increase of the output level.

Electrical connections
Installation
IMPORTANT: A custom wiring harness (separately purchased) which is suitable for your car is recommended
for connection between the unit and your car.
This unit is designed to operate on 12 V DC, NEGATIVE ground
electrical systems. If your vehicle does not have this system, a
voltage inverter is required, which can be purchased at JVC car
audio dealers.
Prepare these before installation....
• Consult your JVC car audio dealer or a company supplying kits for details.
PRECAUTIONS on power supply and speaker connections
Warnings
• DO NOT connect the speaker leads of the power cord to the car battery; otherwise, the unit will be
• To prevent short circuits:
seriously damaged.
–Disconnect the battery’s negative terminal and make all electrical connections before installing the unit.
–Cover the terminals of the UNUSED leads with insulating tape.
• Be sure to ground this unit to the car’s chassis again after installation.
• BEFORE connecting the speaker leads of the power cord to the speakers, check the speaker wiring in your
car.
• Replace the fuse with one of the specified rating.
• Connect speakers with a maximum power of more than 50 W (impedance of 4 Ω to 8 Ω). Otherwise,
change the <AMP GAIN> setting. (See “Menu operations” on page 3.)
• The heat sink becomes very hot after use. Be careful not to touch it when removing this unit.

• This unit can recognize a total of 512 files, 255
folders, and 8 hierarchical levels.
• This unit can play back files recorded in VBR
(variable bit rate).
General
Symptom
Remedy/Cause
• If you turn off the power while listening to a track,
playback will start from where it had been stopped
previously next time you turn on the power.
• If no operation is done for about 60 seconds
after pressing MENU button, the operation will be
canceled.
Sound cannot be heard from the
speakers.
• Adjust the volume to the optimum level.
• Make sure the unit is not muted/paused. (See page 1.)
• Check the cords and connections.
Files recorded in VBR have a discrepancy in the
elapsed time display, and do not show the actual
elapsed time. In particular, this difference becomes
noticeable after performing the search function.
• This unit cannot play back the following files:
–MP3 files: encoded in MP3i and MP3 PRO format;
an inappropriate format; layer 1/2.

How to forcibly eject a disc
[Hold]
Do not use the following discs:
Connectors
• You can forcibly eject the loaded disc even if the
disc is locked. To lock/unlock the disc, see page 2.
• Be careful not to drop the disc when it ejects.
• If this does not work, reset your unit.
• Single CD (8 cm disc)
Caution:
• Warped disc
• Disc with sticker and sticker residue
• Disc with stick-on label
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit.
Eject the disc and leave the unit turned on for a few
hours until the moisture has evaporated.
• Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
• Battery shall not be exposed to excessive heat such
as sunshine, fire, or the like.
• Unusual shape disc
• C-thru Disc (semi-transparent disc)
• Disc with transparent or semi-transparent parts on
its recording area
For safety...
• Do not raise the volume level too much, as this will
block outside sounds, making driving dangerous.
• Stop the car before performing any complicated
operations.
Warning (about battery handling)
To prevent accidents and damage:
• Do not install any battery other than CR2025 or its
equivalent.
• Store out of reach of children.
• Do not recharge, short, or dismantle.
• Do not dispose of in fire.
• Do not carry around with other metallic materials.
• Wrap the battery with tape and insulate when

General
• This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs/CD
Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/CD-RWs (Rewritable)
in audio CD (CD-DA), MP3 and WMA formats.
• If you change the source while listening to a disc,
playback stops. Next time you select “CD” as the
playback source, playback will start from where it
had been stopped previously.
Disc sound is sometimes interrupted.
• Stop playback while driving on rough roads.
• Change the disc.
• Check the cords and connections.
“NO DISC” appears on the display.
Insert a playable disc into the loading slot.
“PLEASE” and “EJECT” appear alternately
on the display.
Press 0, then insert a disc correctly.
• If the ejected disc is not removed within 15 seconds,
it is automatically inserted into the loading slot again
to protect it from dust. Playback starts automatically.
Disc cannot be played back.
• Use a disc with MP3/WMA tracks recorded in a format
compliant with ISO 9660 Level 1, Level 2, Romeo, or Joliet.
• Add the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> to the file
names.
Playing a CD-R or CD-RW
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.
• This unit can play back multi-session discs; however,
unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on
this unit:
Noise is generated.
Skip to another track or change the disc. (Do not add
the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> to non-MP3 or
WMA tracks.)
A longer readout time is required
(“READING” keeps flashing on the display).
Do not use too many hierarchical levels and folders.
–Discs are dirty or scratched.
–Moisture condensation has occurred on the lens
inside the unit.
–The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.
–The files on the CD-R/CD-RW are written using the
“Packet Write” method.
–There are improper recording conditions (missing
data, etc.) or media conditions (stained, scratched,
warped, etc.).
Tracks are not played back in the order
you have intended.
Playback order is determined when the files are
recorded.
The elapsed playing time is not correct.
This sometimes occurs during playback. This is caused
by how the tracks are recorded on the disc.
For KD-R414: “NO FILE” appears on the
display.
Selected folder is an empty folder *. Select another
folder that contains MP3/WMA tracks.
* Folder that is physically empty or folder that contains data
but does not contain valid MP3/WMA track.
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the
reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular CDs.
“NOT SUPPORT” appears on the display
and track skips.
Skip to the next track encoded in an appropriate
