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.

edges.
Center holder
Numbers and symbols
• Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not

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.
General
• This receiver has been designed to reproduce
CDs/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/
CD-RWs (Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA),
MP3 and WMA format.
• Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:
– Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal
stuck to the surface.
• When a disc has been loaded, selecting “CD”

1.1, 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4) for MP3 files and for
WMA files.
– WMA files copy-protected with DRM.
– Files which have the data such as WAVE,
ATRAC3, etc.
• This receiver can display only one-byte
characters. No other characters can be
correctly displayed (see page 25).
• This receiver can play back MP3/WMA files
meeting the conditions below:
• The search function works but search speed is
not constant.
Changing the source
• If you change the source, playback also stops
(without ejecting the disc).
– Bit rate: 8 kbps — 320 kbps
– Sampling frequency:
Next time you select “CD” or “CD-CH” for
the playback source, disc play starts from

again into the loading slot to prevent it from
dust. (Disc will not play this time.)
General settings—PSM
• If you have change the “TAG DISPLAY”
setting from “TAG DISP OFF” to “TAG
DISP ON” while playing MP3/WMA file, the
tag display will be activated when the next
file starts playing.
– Windows long file name*: up to 128 (72)
characters
* The parenthetic figure is the maximum

is 313 or more.
• This receiver can recognize the total of 512
files, of 200 folders, and of 8 hierarchies.
• This receiver can play back the files recorded
in VBR (variable bit rate).
The files recorded in VBR have a discrepancy
in elapsed time display, and do not show
the actual elapsed time. Especially, after
performing the search function, this difference
becomes noticeable.
• If you change the “AMP.GAIN” setting from
“HIGH POWER” to “LOW POWER” while
the volume level is set higher than “VOL 30,”

Caution when installing
PRECAUTIONS on power supply and speaker connections:
• DO NOT connect the speaker leads of the power cord to the car battery; otherwise,
the receiver will be seriously damaged.
• BEFORE connecting the speaker leads of the power cord to the speakers, check the
speaker wiring in your car.
Fit the receiver into the mounting sleeve by using four corners of the trim plate.
• DO NOT press the panel (shaded in the illustration).
TROUBLESHOOTING
• The fuse blows.
• Noise interfere with sounds.
* Is the rear ground terminal connected to the car’s chassis using shorter and thicker cords?
* Are the red and black leads connected correctly?
• Power cannot be turned on.
* Is the yellow lead connected?
• Receiver becomes hot.
* Is the speaker output lead grounded?
* Are the “–” terminals of L and R speakers grounded in common?
• No sound from the speakers.
* Is the speaker output lead short-circuited?
• This receiver does not work at all.
* Have you reset your receiver?
• Sound is distorted.
* Is the speaker output lead grounded?
* Are the “–” terminals of L and R speakers grounded in common?

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 Ω to 8 Ω). 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.

You can connect amplifiers to upgrade your car stereo system.
• Connect the remote lead (blue with white stripe) to the remote lead of the other equipment so that it can be controlled through this receiver.
• For amplifier only:
– Disconnect the speakers from this receiver, connect them to the amplifier. Leave the speaker leads of this receiver unused.
– The line output level of this receiver is kept high to maintain the hi-fi sounds reproduced from this receiver.
When connecting an external amplifier to this receiver, turn down the gain control on the external amplifier to obtain the best performance from this receiver.
