ENGLISH

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.

*For safety....

• Do not raise the volume level too much, as
this will block outside sounds, making driving
dangerous.

• Stop the car before performing any
complicated operations.

Caution:

Do not insert your
finger behind the
control panel.

*Temperature inside the car....

If you have parked the car for a long time in
hot or cold weather, wait until the temperature
in the car becomes normal before operating the
unit.

compatible with MP3 discs, so you cannot
play back MP3 discs.

• 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.

Before operating your CD changer:

• Refer also to the Instructions supplied
with your CD changer.

• You cannot control and play any WMA

Maintenance

How to clean the connectors

Frequent detachment will deteriorate the
connectors.
To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe
the connectors with a cotton swab or cloth
moistened with alcohol, being careful not to
damage the connectors.

Connector

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.

To keep discs clean

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.

• 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.
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges
with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.

More about this receiver

Basic operations

Turning off the power

• If you turn off the power while listening to a
disc, disc play will start from where playback

ENGLISH

has been stopped previously, next time you
turn on the power.

Selecting the sources

• When no disc is loaded in the receiver, “CD”
cannot be selected.

• Without connecting to the SIRIUS radio or
CD changer, “SIRIUS” or “CD-CH” cannot
be selected.

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.

Disc operations

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.

• When a disc has been loaded, selecting “CD”
for the playback source starts disc play.

Playing a disc

• While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3
or WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent
sounds.

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

stuck to the surface.
– 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.

Inserting a disc

• When a disc is inserted upside down, the
control panel moves down, and the disc
automatically ejects from the loading slot.

• Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CD) and
unusual shape discs (heart, flower, etc.) into
the loading slot.
