INFORMATION (For U.S.A.)

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: – Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. – Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. – Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected.

– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

IMPORTANT FOR LASER PRODUCTS

1. CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT

2. CAUTION : Do not open the top cover. There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit; leave

all servicing to qualified service personnel.

3. CAUTION : Visible and invisible laser radiation when open and interlock failed or defeated.

Avoid direct exposure to beam.

Warning:

If you need to operate the receiver while driving, be sure to look ahead carefully or you may be involved in a traffic accident.

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.

How to reset your unit

This will reset the microcomputer. Your preset adjustments will also be erased.

Notice:

The display window built in this receiver has been produced with high precision, but it may have some ineffective dots. This is inevitable and is not malfunction.

About the CD changer

It is recommended to use the JVC MP3compatible CD changer with your receiver.

• You cannot use the KD-MK series CD changers with this receiver.

• Disc text information recorded in the CD Text can be displayed when a JVC CD Text compatible CD changer is connected.

• You cannot control and play any WMA disc in the CD changer.

All tracks of the inserted discs in the magazine will be played repeatedly until you change the source or eject the magazine from the CD changer.
