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 unit in
the following cases:

• After starting the heater in the car.

• If it becomes very humid inside the car.
Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this
case, eject the disc and leave the unit 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 unit may reject
the disc.
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with a
pencil or ball-point pen, etc.

Do not use the following discs:

How to handle discs

When removing a disc from 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.

This unit is designed to operate on 12 V DC, NEGATIVE ground electrical systems. If your vehicle does not have this system, a voltage inverter is required, which can be purchased at JVC car audio dealers.

WARNINGS

• DO NOT install any unit or wire any cable in a location where;
– it may obstruct the steering wheel and gearshift lever operations.
– it may obstruct the operation of safety devices such as air bags.
– it may obstruct visibility.

• DO NOT operate the unit while driving.

• If you need to operate the unit while driving, be sure to look around carefully.

• The driver must not watch the monitor while driving.

If the parking brake is not engaged, “DRIVER MUST NOT WATCH THE MONITOR WHILE DRIVING.” appears on the monitor, and no playback picture will be shown.

– This warning appears only when the parking brake lead is connected to the parking brake system built in the car.

To prevent short circuits, we recommend that you disconnect the battery’s negative terminal and make all electrical connections before installing the unit.

• Be sure to gr ound this unit to the car’s chassis aga in 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 speakers with a 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 25 of the INSTRUCTIONS).

• To prevent short circuits, cover the terminals of the UNUSED leads with insulating tape.

• The heat sink becomes very hot after use. Be careful not to touch it when removing this unit.

PRECAUTIONS on power supply and speaker connections:

• DO NOT connect th e speaker leads of the power cord to the car batter y; otherwise, the unit will be seriou sly damaged.

• BEFORE connecting the speaker leads of the power cord to the speakers, check the speaker wiring in your car.

Maintenance

How to clean the connectors

Frequent detachment will deteriorate the connectors.

ENGLISH

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 unit in
the following cases:

• After starting the heater in the car.

• If it becomes very humid inside the car.
Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this
case, eject the disc and leave the unit 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 unit may reject
the disc.
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with a
pencil or ball-point pen, etc.

Do not use the following discs:

How to handle discs

When removing a disc from 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.

This unit is designed to operate on 12 V DC, NEGATIVE ground electrical systems. If your vehicle does
not have this system, a voltage inverter is required, which can be purchased at JVC car audio dealers.

WARNINGS

• DO NOT install any unit or wire any cable in a location where;
– it may obstruct the steering wheel and gearshift lever operations.
– it may obstruct the operation of safety devices such as air bags.
– it may obstruct visibility.

• DO NOT operate the unit while driving.

• If you need to operate the unit while driving, be sure to look around carefully.

• The driver must not watch the monitor while driving.

If the parking brake is not engaged, “DRIVER MUST NOT WATCH THE MONITOR WHILE

DRIVING.” appears on the monitor, and no playback picture will be shown.
– This warning appears only when the parking brake lead is connected to the parking brake

system built in the car.

To prevent short circuits, we recommend that you disconnect the battery’s negative terminal and make all
electrical connections before installing the unit.

• Be sure to gr ound this unit to the car’s chassis ag ain after installatio n.

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 speakers with a 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 25 of the
INSTRUCTIONS).

• To prevent short circuits, cover the terminals of the UNUSED leads with insulating tape.

• The heat sink becomes very hot after use. Be careful not to touch it when removing this unit.
