MAINTENANCE  
Handling discs  
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW  
Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read  
their instructions or cautions carefully.  
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.  
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back on  
this unit because of their disc characteristics,  
and for the following reasons:  
– Discs are dirty or scratched.  
– Moisture condensation on the lens inside the  
unit.  
– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.  
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time  
since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than  
that of regular CDs.  
• CD-Rs or CD-RWs are susceptible to high  
temperatures or high humidity, so do not leave  
them inside your car.  
• Do not use following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:  
– Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal  
stuck to the surface.  
This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs,  
CD-Rs (Recordable), and CD-RWs (Rewritable).  
• This unit is not compatible with MP3 discs.  
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.  
– Discs on which labels can be directly printed  
by an ink jet printer.  
Using these discs under high temperatures or  
high humidity may cause malfunctions or  
damage to discs. For example,  
– Stickers or labels may shrink and warp a disc.  
– Stickers or labels may peel off so discs  
cannot be ejected.  
To keep discs clean  
A dirty disc may not play correctly.  
If a disc does becomes dirty, wipe  
it with a soft cloth in a straight line  
from center to edge.  
To play new discs  
New discs may have some rough  
spots around the inner and outer  
edges. If such a disc is used, this  
unit may reject the disc.  
– Print on discs may get sticky.  
Read instructions or cautions about labels and  
printable discs carefully.  
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with  
a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.  
CAUTIONS:  
• Do not insert 8 cm (3 3/16") discs (single CDs)  
into the loading slot. (Such discs cannot be  
ejected.)  
• Do not insert any disc of unusual shape—like a  
heart or flower; otherwise, it will cause a  
malfunction.  
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or any  
heat source or place them in a place subject to  
high temperature and humidity. Do not leave  
them in a car.  
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 disc player may malfunction.  
In this case, eject the disc and leave the unit turned  
on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates.  
• Do not use any solvent (for example,  
conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner,  
benzine, etc.) to clean discs.

Para evitar cortocircuitos, recomendamos que desconecte el terminal  
negativo de la batería y que efectúe todas las conexiones eléctricas  
antes de instalar la unidad. Si usted no está seguro de cómo instalar  
correctamente la unidad, hágala instalar por un técnico cualificado.  
To prevent short circuits, we recommend that you disconnect the batterys  
negative terminal and make all electrical connections before installing the  
unit. If you are not sure how to install this unit correctly, have it installed by  
a qualified technician.  
Pour éviter tout court-circuit, nous vous recommandons de débrancher la  
borne négative de la batterie et deffectuer tous les raccordements  
électriques avant dinstaller lappareil. Si lon nest pas sûr de pouvoir  
installer correctement cet appareil, le faire installer par un technicien  
qualifié.  
Nota:  
Note:  
Esta unidad está diseñada para funcionar con 12 V de CC, con  
sistemas eléctricos de masa NEGATIVA. Si su vehículo no posee este  
sistema, será necesario un inversor de tensión, que puede ser  
adquirido en los concesionarios de JVC de equipos de audio para  
automóviles.  
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.  
Remarque:  
Cet appareil est conçu pour fonctionner sur des sources de courant  
continu de 12 V à masse NEGATIVE. Si votre véhicule noffre pas ce type  
dalimentation, il vous faut un convertisseur de tension, que vous pouvez  
acheter chez un revendeur dautoradios JVC.  
Replace the fuse with one of the specified rating. If the fuse blows  
frequently, consult your JVC car audio dealer.  
If noise is a problem...  
• Reemplace el fusible por uno con la corriente especificada. Si el  
fusible se quemase frecuentemente consulte con su concesionario de  
JVC de equipos de audio para automóviles.  
Remplacer le fusible par un de la valeur précisée. Si le fusible saute  
souvent, consulter votre revendeur dautoradios JVC.  
Si le bruit est un problème...  
This unit incorporates a noise filter in the power circuit. However, with  
some vehicles, clicking or other unwanted noise may occur. If this  
happens, connect the units rear ground terminal (see connection  
diagram) to the cars chassis using shorter and thicker cords, such as  
copper braiding or gauge wire. If noise still persists, consult your JVC car  
audio dealer.  
Maximum input of the speakers should be more than 50 W at the rear  
and 50 W at the front, with an impedance of 4 to 8 .  
Be sure to ground this unit to the cars chassis.  
The heat sink becomes very hot after use. Be careful not to touch it  
when removing this unit.  
• Si el ruido fuese un problema...  
Cet appareil incorpore un filtre de bruit dans le circuit dalimentation.  
Cependant, avec certains véhicules, quelques claquements ou autres  
bruits non désirés risquent de se produire. Si cela arrive, raccorder la  
borne arrière de masse de lappareil au châssis de la voiture (voir le  
diagramme de raccordement) en utiliscant des cordons les plus gros et  
les plus courts possibles telle quune barre de cuivre ou une tresse. Si le  
bruit persiste, consulter votre revendeur dautoradios JVC.  
La puisscance admissible des enceintes devrait supérieure à 50 W à  
larrière et à 50 W lavant, avec une impédance de 4 à 8 .  
Sassurer de raccorder la mise à la masse de cet appareil au  
châssis de la voiture.  
Esta unidad tiene un filtro de ruido en el circuito de alimentación. Sin  
embargo, en algunos vehículos, pueden producirse chasquidos u  
otros ruidos indeseados. En tal caso conecte el terminal de tierra  
posterior (véase diagrama de conexión) del receptor al chasis del  
automóvil, utilizando cordones más gruesos y cortos tales como  
alambre de cobre trenzado o de grueso calibre. Si el ruido persiste,  
consulte a su concesionario de JVC de equipos de audio para  
automóvil.  
• La entrada máxima de los altavoces no debe ser más que 50 W en la  
frontal y 50 W en el trasero, con una impedancia de 4 a 8 .  
Asegúrese de conectar esta unidad a tierra en el chasis del  
automóvil.  
• El sumidero térmico estará muy caliente después del uso. Asegúrese  
de no tocarlo al desmontar esta unidad.  
Le dissipateur de chaleur devient très chaud après usage. Faire attention  
de ne pas le toucher en retirant cet appareil.

If the speaker wiring in your car is as illustrated in Fig. 1 and  
Fig. 2 below, DO NOT connect the unit using that original speaker  
wiring. If you do, the unit will be seriously damaged.  
Redo the speaker wiring so that you can connect the unit to the  
speakers as illustrated in Fig. 3.  
If the speaker wiring in your car is as illustrated in Fig. 3, you  
can connect the unit using the original speaker wiring in your car.

altavoz original de su automóvil.  
AVANT de connecter les fils denceintes du cordon dalimentation  
aux enceintes, vérifiez le câblage des enceintes de votre voiture.  
Si le câblage des enceintes de votre voiture est comme  
montré sur la Fig. 1 ou Fig. 2 ci-dessous, NE CONNECTEZ  
PAS lappareil en utiliscant ce câblage original des enceintes. Si  
vous le faites, lappareil sera sérieusement endommagé.  
Recommencez le câblage des enceintes de façon que vous  
puissiez connecter lappareil aux enceintes comme montré sur la  
Fig. 3.  
Si le câblage des enceintes de votre voiture est comme  
montré sur la Fig. 3, vous pouvez connecter lappareil en
