INFORMATION (For U.S.A.)  
MORE ABOUT THIS UNIT  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of  
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential  
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used  
in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no  
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference  
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to  
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:  
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.  
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.  
Playing an MP3/WMA disc  
Basic operations  
• This unit can play back MP3/WMA files with the  
extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of the  
letter case—upper/lower).

(performer), and tag (Version 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4) for  
MP3 files and for WMA files  
• This unit can display only one-byte characters. No other  
characters can be correctly displayed.  
• This unit can play back MP3/WMA files meeting the  
conditions below:  
• By pressing SRC on the unit, you can also turn on the  
power. If the source is ready, playback also starts.  
• If you turn off the power while listening to a disc, disc  
play will start from where it had been stopped previously  
next time you turn on the power.  
• If no operation is done for about 30 seconds after  
pressing MENU button, the operation will be canceled.  
Tuner operations

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.  
4. REPRODUCTION OF LABEL: CAUTION LABEL, PLACED OUTSIDE THE 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).  
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, in an  
inappropriate format, layer 1/2.  
– WMA files: encoded in lossless, professional, and voice  
format; not based upon Windows Media® Audio; copy-  
protected with DRM.  
– Files which have data such as WAVE, ATRAC3, etc.  
• The search function works but search speed is not  
constant.  
General  
• This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs/CD Texts,  
and CD-Rs (Recordable)/CD-RWs (Rewritable) in audio  
CD (CD-DA) and MP3/WMA formats.  
[European Union only]  
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:  
– Discs are dirty or scratched.  
– Moisture condensation has occurred on the lens inside  
the unit.  
For safety...  
Warning  
• 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.  
If you need to operate the unit while driving, be sure to  
look around carefully or you may be involved in a traffic  
accident.  
– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.  
– The files on the CD-R/CD-RW are written using the  
“Packet Write” method.  
Caution on volume setting  
Temperature inside the car...  
Discs produce very little noise compared with other sources.  
Lower the volume before playing a disc to avoid damaging  
the speakers by the sudden increase of the output level.  
– 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.  
Title assignment  
• If you try to assign titles to more than 30 station  
frequencies, “NAME FULL” appears. Delete unwanted  
titles before assignment.  
If you have parked the car for a long time in hot or cold  
weather, wait until the temperature in the car becomes  
normal before operating the unit.

PREPARATION  
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.  
TROUBLESHOOTING  
The fuse blows.  
WARNINGS  
To prevent short circuits, we recommend that you disconnect the battery’s  
negative terminal and make all electrical connections before installing the unit.  
* Are the red and black leads connected correctly?  
• Be sure to ground this unit to the car’s chassis again after installation. Power cannot be turned on.  
* Is the yellow lead connected?  
No sound from the speakers.  
Notes:  
• Replace the fuse with one of the specified rating. If the fuse blows frequently,  
consult your JVC car audio dealer.  
* Is the speaker output lead short-circuited?  
Sound is distorted.  
• 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 “Menu operations”).  
• 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 unit.  
* Is the speaker output lead grounded?  
* Are the “–” terminals of L and R speakers grounded in common?  
Noise interfere with sounds.  
* Is the rear ground terminal connected to the car’s chassis using shorter and  
thicker cords?
