ENGLISH

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.

Caution:

Changes or modifications not approved by JVC could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

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.

How to reset your unit

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

How to forcibly eject a disc

If a disc cannot be recognized by the receiver or cannot be ejected, ejects the disc as follows.

“NO EJECT?” (or “EJECT OK?”) and “EMERGENCY EJECT?” appear on the monitor. Press 5 / ∞ repeatedly to select “EMERGENCY EJECT?”, then press ENT.

• If this does not work, reset your receiver.

• Be careful not to drop the disc when it ejects.

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.

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.

WARNINGS:

• DO NOT install any receiver in locations where; – it may obstruct the steering wheel and

gearshift lever operations, as this may result in a traffic accident.

– it may obstruct the operation of safety

devices such as air bags, as this may result in a fatal accident.

– it may obstruct visibility.

• DO NOT operate any receiver while manipulating the steering wheel, as this may result in a traffic accident.

• The driver must not watch the monitor while driving. If the driver watches the monitor while driving, it may lead to carelessness and cause an accident.

• The driver must not put on the headphones while driving. It is dangerous to shut off the outside sounds while driving.

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

• If the parking brake is not engaged, “Parking Brake” flashes on the monitor, and no playback picture will be shown. – This warning appears only when the

parking brake wire is connected to the parking brake system built in the car (refer to the Installation/Connection Manual).

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.

Cautions on the monitor:

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

• Do not expose the monitor to direct sunlight.

Characters shown on the monitor

The following characters will be used to show the various information on the monitor.

• You can also use the following characters to assign titles (see page 41).

can adjust the following items: “Panorama” and “Center Width” . Adjusting “Panorama” to “On” adds “wraparound” sound effect; Activating “Center Width” adjusts the center image so it may be heard only from the center speaker, only from the left/right front speakers as a “phantom” center image, or various combinations of these speakers. As the number increases, the “phantom” effect becomes stronger (normally select “4”).
