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.

More about this receiver
Inserting a disc
Basic operations
• When a disc is inserted upside down, the
control panel moves down, and the disc
automatically ejects from the loading slot.
• If you keep the control panel open for about
1 minute, (beep sound when the “BEEP
SWITCH” setting is turned “BEEP ON”—see
page 21) the control panel returns to its
previous position.
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

• Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CD) and
unusual shape discs (heart, flower, etc.) into
the loading slot.
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 disc
• While playing an audio CD: If a title has been
assigned to the audio CD (see page 22), it will
be shown on the display.
• While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3
or WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent
sounds.
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.
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.

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.
