Maintenance  
How to clean the connectors  
To keep discs clean  
Frequent detachment will deteriorate the  
connectors.  
A dirty disc may not play correctly.  
If a disc does become dirty, wipe  
it with a soft cloth in a straight line  
from center to edge.  
To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe  
the connectors with a cotton swab or cloth  
moistened with alcohol, being careful not to  
damage the connectors.  
• Do not use any solvent (for example,  
conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner,  
benzine, etc.) to clean discs.  
To play new discs  
New discs may have some rough  
spots around the inner and outer  
edges. If such a disc is used, this  
receiver may reject the disc.  
Connector  
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 disc and  
leave the receiver turned on for a few hours  
until the moisture evaporates.

More about this receiver  
Inserting a disc  
Basic operations  
• When a disc is inserted upside down, the  
control panel moves down, and the disc  
automatically ejects from the loading slot.  
• If you keep the control panel open for about  
1 minute, (beep sound when the “BEEP  
SWITCH” setting is turned “BEEP ON”—see  
page 21) the control panel returns to its  
previous position.  
Turning on the power  
• By pressing SOURCE on the receiver, you  
can also turn on the power.  
Turning off the power  
• If you turn off the power while listening to a  
disc, disc play will start from where playback  
has been stopped previously, next time you  
turn on the power.  
• Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CD) and  
unusual shape discs (heart, flower, etc.) into  
the loading slot.  
Selecting the sources  
• When no disc is loaded in the receiver, “CD”  
cannot be selected.  
• Without connecting to the CD changer,  
“CD-CH” cannot be selected.  
Playing a disc  
• While playing an audio CD: If a title has been  
assigned to the audio CD (see page 22), it will  
be shown on the display.  
• While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3  
or WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent  
sounds.  
Tuner operations  
Storing stations in memory  
• During SSM search...  
– All previously stored stations are erased and  
stations are stored newly.  
– Received stations are preset in No. 1 (lowest  
frequency) to No. 6 (highest frequency).  
– When SSM is over, the station stored in  
No. 1 will be automatically tuned in.  
• When storing a station manually, a previously  
preset station is erased when a new station is  
stored in the same preset number.  
Playing a CD-R or CD-RW  
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.  
• This receiver can play back only the files of  
the same type which is first detected if a disc  
includes both audio CD (CD-DA) files and  
MP3/WMA files.  
• This receiver can play back multi-session  
discs; however, unclosed sessions will be  
skipped while playing.  
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play  
back on this receiver because of their disc  
characteristics, and for the following causes:  
– Discs are dirty or scratched.  
Disc operations  
Caution for DualDisc playback  
• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does  
not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital  
Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of Non-  
DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may  
not be recommended.  
– Moisture condensation occurs on the lens  
inside the receiver.  
– The pickup lens inside the receiver is dirty.  
– CD-R/CD-RW on which the files are  
written with “Packet Write” method.  
– There are improper recording conditions  
(missing data, etc.) or media conditions  
(stain, scratch, warp, etc.).  
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time  
since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower  
than that of regular CDs.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS  
To prevent short circuits, we recommend that you disconnect the battery’s negative terminal and make all electrical connections before installing the receiver.  
Be sure to ground this receiver to the car’s chassis again after installation.  
Notes:  
• Replace the fuse with one of the specified rating. If the fuse blows frequently, consult your JVC car audio dealer.  
• It is recommended to connect to the speakers with maximum power of more than 50 W (both at the rear and at the front, with an impedance of 4 to 8 ). If the maximum power is less than  
50 W, change “AMP.GAIN” setting to prevent the speakers from being damaged (see page 21 of the INSTRUCTIONS).  
To prevent short-circuit, cover the terminals of the UNUSED leads with insulating tape.  
• The heat sink becomes very hot after use. Be careful not to touch it when removing this receiver.
