CD CHANGER OPERATIONS  
We recommend that you use one of the CH-X series with your unit.  
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 CD” or “NO DISC” will appear on the display. If this happens, remove the  
magazine and set the discs correctly.  
• If “RESET 1 - RESET 8appears 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.

This unit requires very little attention, but you will be able to extend the life of the unit 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).

– 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.
