DISC NOTES
Compatible Disc Types
DVD Video
DVDs contain excellent sound and video quality due to Dolby Digital and MPEG2 encoding. A DVD is 12 cm in diameter and can hold more than seven times the data of a CD-ROM. The maximum playing time can be up to 2 hours (a double-sided DVD is up to 4 hours). There are four types of DVD discs: single-layer single-sided (1), two-layer single-sided (2), single-layer double-sided (3), and two-layer double-sided (4).
CD-DA
CD-DA discs can play voice data. The playing time of the standard 12 cm CD-DA disc is 74 minutes.
DTS-CD
DTS digital surround sound uses 6 digital audio tracks to replace the analog voice tracks in movies.
HDCD
HDCD, or “High Definition Compatible Digital,” is a recording/playing technology that improves CD audio quality. Based on full compliance with CD specifications, it can enhance the quality and quantity of digital sounds in the highest scale. It encodes the required messages that were deserted by the CD format, and stores the related commands into the LSB. Without changing the CD format, it is output through the 24-bit D/A converter, which will ultimately enhance the quality of playback.
MP3/WMA/JPEG
This unit is compatible with CD-R, CD-RW, and CD-ROM discs containing MP3, WMA, and JPEG tracks.
CD-R/CD-RW
This unit is compatible with CD-R and CR-RW discs that support ISO9660 specifications. “.MP3”, “.JPG”, “.JPEG”, “.AC3”, “.PCM”, “.MPG”, “.MPE”, and “.WAV” formats can be included on
ISO9660-compatible discs.
DVD-R / DVD-RW
This unit is compatible with DVD-R and DVD-RW discs that support UDF specifications. “.MP3”,
“.JPG”, “.JPEG”, “.AC3”, ”.PCM”, “.MPG”, “.MPE”, and “.WAV” formats can be included on
UDF-compatible discs.
Incompatible Disc Types

NOTE: DVD-R and DVD-RW discs will not play unless the recording session is closed and the CD is finalized.
Table 1: General Disc Information
Disc Maintenance
A dirty or defective disc may cause sound dropouts while playing. Before playing, wipe the disc using a clean cloth, working from the center hole towards the outside edge. Never use benzene, thinners, cleaning fluids, anti-static liquids or any other solvent.
NOTE: A disc may become scratched (although not enough to make it unusable) depending on how you handle it and other conditions in the usage environment. These scratches are not an indication of a problem with the player.

INSTALLATION
This unit is designed for installation in vehicle cabs with an existing 1-DIN radio opening. In many cases, a special installation kit will be required to mount the radio to the dashboard. See the dealer where the radio was purchased for kit availability. Always check the kit application before purchasing to make sure the kit works with your vehicle.
Before you Begin
1. Disconnect Battery Before you begin, always disconnect the battery negative terminal.
2. Remove Transport Screws
Important Notes
Before final installation, test the wiring connections to make sure the unit is connected
properly and the system works.
Use only the parts included with the unit to ensure proper installation. The use of
unauthorized parts can cause malfunctions.
Consult with your nearest dealer if installation requires the drilling of holes or other
modifications to your vehicle.
Install the unit where it does not interfere with driving and cannot injure passengers during
a sudden or emergency stop.
If the installation angle exceeds 30° from horizontal, the unit might not give optimum
performance.
Avoid installing the unit where it will be subjected to high temperatures from direct sunlight,
hot air, or from a heater, or subject to excessive dust, dirt or vibration.
DIN Front Mount
1. Slide the mounting sleeve off of the chassis if it has not already been removed. If it is locked into position, use the removal keys (supplied) to disengage it. The removal keys are depicted in DIN Rear Mount on page 4.
2. Check the dashboard opening size by sliding the mounting sleeve into it. If the opening is not large enough, carefully cut or file as necessary until the sleeve easily slides into the opening. Do not force the sleeve into the opening or cause it to bend or bow. Check that there will be sufficient space behind the dashboard for the radio chassis.
3. Locate the series of bend tabs along the top, bottom and sides of the mounting sleeve. With the sleeve fully inserted into the dashboard opening, bend as many of the tabs outward as necessary to firmly secure the sleeve to the dashboard.
4. Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so the wiring can be brought through the mounting sleeve.
5. Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections are secure and insulated with crimp connectors or electrical tape to ensure proper operation.
6. After completing the wiring connections, turn the unit on to confirm operation (vehicle accessory switch must be on). If the unit does not operate, recheck all wiring until the problem is corrected. Once proper operation is achieved, turn the accessory switch off and proceed with final mounting of the chassis.
7. Carefully slide the radio into the mounting sleeve making sure it is right-side-up until it is fully seated and the spring clips lock it into place.
8. Attach one end of the perforated support strap (supplied) to the screw stud on the rear of the chassis using the hex nut provided. Fasten the other end of the perforated strap to a secure part of the dashboard either above or below the radio using the screw and plain washer provided. Bend the strap, as necessary, to position it. Some vehicle installations provide cavity for rear support. In these applications, place the rubber bushing over the screw stud and insert the radio.
CAUTION: The perforated rear support strap or rear rubber mounting bushing must be used in the installation of the radio. Installation without either may result in damage to the radio or the mounting surface and void the manufacturer’s warranty.
9. Test radio operation by referring to the operating instructions for the unit.
10. When wiring is complete, reconnect the battery negative terminal.
11. Push the trim plate against the chassis until it is fitted.
DIN Rear Mount
This unit has threaded holes in the chassis side panels which may be used with the original factory mounting brackets of some vehicles to mount the radio to the dashboard. Please consult with your local mobile stereo shop for assistance on this type of installation.
1. Remove the existing factory radio from the dashboard or center console mounting. Save all hardware and brackets as they will be used to mount the new radio.
4
Page 7
JDVD1500
2. Carefully unsnap the plastic trim ring from the front of the new radio chassis. Remove and discard the trim ring.
3. Remove the factory mounting brackets and hardware from the existing radio and attach them to the new radio. Select a position where the screw holes of the bracket and the screw holes of the main unit are aligned (are fitted). Tighten the screws at 2 places on each side. Do not exceed M5 x 9 MM maximum screw size. Longer screws may damage components inside the chassis.
4. Wire the new radio to the vehicle as outlined in the Universal Installation instructions.
5. When wiring is complete, reconnect the battery negative terminal.
6. Mount the new radio assembly to the dashboard or center console using the reverse procedure of step 1.
NOTE: The mounting box, outer trim ring, and half-sleeve are not used for DIN rear mount.
Removing the Unit (DIN Front Mount)
To remove the radio after installation:
1. Insert fingers into the groove in the front of frame and pull out to remove the frame. (When re-attaching the frame, point the side with a groove downwards and re-attach.)
2. Insert the removal keys straight back until they click, and then pull the radio out. If removal keys are inserted at an angle, they will not lock properly to release the unit.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Keep the product dry. If it does get wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain
Keep the product away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.  Handle the product gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases,
Wipe the product with a dampened cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use
Use and store the product only in normal temperature environments. High temperature
Ignition
The most common source of noise in reception is the ignition system. This is a result of the radio being placed close to the ignition system (engine). This type of noise can be easily detected because it will vary in intensity of pitch with the speed of the engine.
Usually, the ignition noise can be suppressed considerably by using a radio suppression type high voltage ignition wire and suppressor resistor in the ignition system. (Most vessels employ this wire and resistor but it may be necessary to check them for correct operation.) Another method of suppression is the use of additional noise suppressors. These can be obtained from most CB/A radio or electronic supply shops.
Interference
Radio reception in a moving environment is very different from reception in a stationary environment (home). It is very important to understand the difference.
AM reception will deteriorate when passing under a bridge or when passing under high voltage lines. Although AM is subject to environmental noise, it has the ability to receive at great distance. This is because broadcasting signals follow the curvature of the earth and are reflected back by the upper atmosphere.
TROUBLESHOOTING
minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
and can cause the product to work improperly.
harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the product.
can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
