SOUND ADJUSTMENTS
Turning on/off the BBE function
The BBE* 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 BBE
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 BBE 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.
BBE
Each time you press BBE, the BBE function turns on and off alternately.

Controlling the volume automatically
This function is ONLY FOR KD-SX949.
This unit changes the volume level automatically (at 3 possible levels) based on the driving
speed of your car by detecting the alternator’s generating frequency (Audio Cruise).
If you want to use this function, follow the procedures below. (When shipped from the factory,
this mode is set to “OFF.”)
1
1
Select the proper cruise mode for your car.
• Each time you press the button, the Audio Cruise mode
CRUISE
changes as follows.
CRUISE 1
CRUISE 2
OFF
• CRUISE 1: Select this if your car is relatively quiet.
• CRUISE 2: Select this if your car is relatively loud.
The volume increase rate is twice as much as that of the CRUISE 1 setting.
• OFF: Cancels Audio Cruise.
When this function is turned on (the CRUISE indicator lights up on the display), the proper
volume level is automatically selected among the 3 possible levels according to the driving
speed, and the selected level is shown on the display.
When the driving speed increases.
When the driving speed decreases.
26
To adjust the volume increase rate
If you find Audio Cruise increase (or decrease) the volume either too much or too little as the
driving speed changes.You can adjust the increase rate by changing the boost level.
To change it, follow the procedure below.
1. Press CRUISE to select either “CRUISE 1” or “CRUISE 2.”
2. Press and hold CRUISE until the maximum boost level appears on the display.
Ex. When you have selected “CRUISE 2”
3. Turn the control dial, while the maximum boost level is shown on the display, to change
the boost level (among 01 to 15) as you want.
• To increase the volume increase rate, turn it clockwise.
• To decrease the volume increase rate, turn it counterclockwise.
If Audio Cruise does not function correctly
You may need to store the idling speed into memory to make Audio Cruise function correctly.
NOTICE that a number of factors, such as electric power steering, wipers, power windows,
air conditioner, etc. do generate noises and, as a result, may cause Audio Cruise not to
function correctly. If this is the main cause of malfunction, connect the memory backup lead
(yellow lead) directly to the car battery to prevent these noises from affecting Audio Cruise.
1. Start the engine and let it warm up.
2. Press CRUISE to select either “CRUISE 1” or “CRUISE 2.”
3. Press and hold CRUISE and SEL for more than 2 seconds to store the idling speed into
memory.
Ex. When you have selected “CRUISE 2”
When the setting is complete, the unit automatically checks to see if Audio Cruise functions
correctly with this new idling setting. If it does not function correctly, Audio Cruise is canceled
automatically and the idling setting becomes invalid.
• If this happens, see the NOTICE above.

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.

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 become 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.
