How to read this manual
How to use the M MODE button
If you press M MODE, the receiver goes into
functions mode, then the number buttons and
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 26 and
27).
Ex.: When number button 2 works as
MO (monaural) button.
• Button operations are mainly explained with
the illustrations as follows:
Press briefly.
Press repeatedly.
Time countdown indicator
Press either one.
To use these buttons for original functions
again after pressing M MODE, wait for
5 seconds without pressing any of these buttons
until the functions mode is cleared.
• Pressing M MODE again also clears the
functions mode.
Press and hold until
your desired response
begins.
Press and hold both
buttons at the same
time.
Caution on volume setting:
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.
The following marks are used to indicate...
: Built-in CD player operations.
: External CD changer operations.

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
Center holder
its case, press down the center
holder of the case and lift the
disc out, holding it by the
edges.
• 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:

Inserting a disc
Basic operations
• When a disc is inserted upside down,
“PLEASE” and “EJECT” appear alternately
on the display. Press 0 to eject the disc.
• Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CD) and
unusual shape discs (heart, flower, etc.) into
Turning on the power
• By pressing SOURCE on the receiver, you
can also turn on the power.
Turning off the power
the loading slot.
• 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.
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

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.
Heat sink
• The heat sink becomes very hot after use. Be careful not to touch it when removing this receiver.
Typical Connections
