5/buttons work as different function buttons.  
The following methods are used to made the  
explanations simple and easy-to-understand:  
• Some related tips and notes are explained in  
“More about this receiver” (see pages 24 and

MO (monaural) button.  
• Button operations are mainly explained with  
the illustrations as follows:  
Press briefly.  
Press repeatedly.  
Press either one.  
Time countdown indicator  
To use these buttons for original functions  
again after pressing MODE, wait for  
5 seconds without pressing any of these buttons

Press and hold until  
your desired response  
begins.  
Press and hold both  
buttons at the same  
time.

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.  
How to handle discs  
When removing a disc from  
its case, press down the center  
holder of the case and lift the  
disc out, holding it by the  
edges.  
Center holder  
• Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not  
touch its recording surface.  
When storing a disc into its case, gently insert  
the disc around the center holder (with the  
printed surface facing up).  
• Make sure to store discs into the cases after  
use.  
Do not use the following discs:  
Stick-on

More about this receiver  
Inserting a disc  
• When a disc is inserted upside down, the disc  
automatically ejects.  
• Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CD) and  
unusual shape discs (heart, flower, etc.) into  
the loading slot.  
Basic operations  
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.  
Playing a disc  
• While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3  
or WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent  
sounds.  
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 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.  
– 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.  
• Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:  
– Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal  
stuck to the surface.  
– Discs on which labels can be directly  
printed by an ink jet printer.  
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.

Ejecting a disc  
• If the ejected disc is not removed within  
15 seconds, the disc is automatically inserted  
again into the loading slot to prevent it from  
dust. (Disc will not play this time.)  
• 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.  
General settings—PSM  
• If you change the “AMP GAIN” setting from  
“HIGH PWR” to “LOW PWR” while the  
volume level is set higher than “VOL 30,” the  
receiver automatically changes the volume  
level to “VOL 30.”

INSTALLATION (IN-DASH MOUNTING)  
The following illustration shows a typical installation. If you have any questions or require information regarding installation kits, consult your JVC car audio dealer or a company supplying kits.  
• If you are not sure how to install this receiver correctly, have it installed by a qualified technician.  
Do the required electrical connections.  
*1 When you stand the receiver, be  
careful not to damage the fuse on  
the rear.  
Bend the appropriate tabs to hold  
the sleeve firmly in place.  
Removing the receiver  
Before removing the receiver, release the rear section.  
When using the optional stay  
When installing the receiver without using the sleeve  
In a Toyota for example, first remove the car radio and install the receiver in its  
place.

Insert the two handles,  
then pull them as illustrated  
so that the receiver can be  
removed.  
Note : When installing the receiver on the mounting bracket, make sure  
to use the 8 mm-long screws. If longer screws are used, they could  
damage the receiver.  
Install the receiver at an  
angle of less than 30˚.  
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.  
TROUBLESHOOTING  
The fuse blows.  
* Are the red and black leads connected correctly?  
Power cannot be turned on.  
* Is the yellow lead connected?  
No sound from the speakers.  
* Is the speaker output lead short-circuited?  
Sound is distorted.  
* 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?  
Receiver becomes hot.  
* Is the speaker output lead grounded?  
* Are the “–” terminals of L and R speakers grounded in common?  
This receiver does not work at all.  
* Have you reset your receiver?

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 20 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.
