ENGLISH

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.

Inserting a disc

• When a disc is inserted upside down, the disc
automatically ejects.

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

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW

• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

• This unit 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 unit because of their disc
characteristics, and for the following causes:

To be continued...

11

– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation occurs on the lens

inside the unit.
– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.
– CD-R/CD-RW on which the files are

written with “Packet Write” method.

ENGLISH

– 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
damages to the unit.

Changing the source

• If you change the source, playback also stops
(without ejecting the disc).

Next time you select “DISC” for the playback

source, disc play starts from where it has been
stopped previously.

Ejecting a disc

• If the ejected disc is not removed within
15 seconds, the disc is automatically inserted
again into the loading slot to protect it from
dust. (Disc will not play this time.)

General settings—PSM

• If you change the “AMP GAIN” setting from
“HIGH PWR” to “LOW PWR” while the
volume level is set higher than “VOL 30,” the
unit automatically changes the volume level to
“VOL 30.”

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 unit turned on for a few hours until
the moisture evaporates.

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.

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.

Do not use the following discs:

Warped disc

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

More about this unit

Basic operations

Turning on the power

• By pressing SOURCE on the unit, you can
also turn on the power. If the source is ready,
playback also starts.

Turning off the power

• If you turn off the power while listening to a
disc, disc play will start from where playback
has been stopped previously, next time you
turn on the power.

Selecting the sources

• When no disc is loaded in the unit, “DISC”
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

Caution for DualDisc playback

• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does
not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital
Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of Non­DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may
not be recommended.

General

• This unit has been designed to reproduce
CDs, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/CD-RWs
(Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA) format.

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

Inserting a disc

• When a disc is inserted upside down, the disc
automatically ejects.

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

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW

• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

• This unit 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 unit because of their disc
characteristics, and for the following causes:

– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation occurs on the lens

inside the unit.
– The pickup lens inside the unit 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
damages to the unit.

Changing the source

• If you change the source, playback also stops

(without ejecting the disc).

Next time you select “DISC” for the playback

source, disc play starts from where it has been
stopped previously.

To be continued...

Maintenance

How to clean the connectors

Frequent detachment will deteriorate the
connectors.To minimize this possibility,

ENGLISH

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 unit turned on for a few hours until the
moisture evaporates.

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.

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.

Do not use the following discs:

Warped disc

How to handle discs

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

Caution for DualDisc playback

• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does
not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital
Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of Non­DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may
not be recommended.

General

• This unit has been designed to reproduce
CDs, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/CD-RWs
(Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA) format.

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

Inserting a disc

• When a disc is inserted upside down, the disc
automatically ejects.

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

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW

• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

• This unit 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 unit because of their disc
characteristics, and for the following causes:

– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation occurs on the lens

inside the unit.
– The pickup lens inside the unit 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
damages to the unit.

Changing the source

• If you change the source, playback also stops

(without ejecting the disc).

Next time you select “DISC” for the playback

source, disc play starts from where it has been
stopped previously.

Disc operations

Caution for DualDisc playback

• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does
not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital
Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of Non­DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may
not be recommended.

General

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, the
previously preset station is erased when a new
station is stored in the same preset number.

FM RDS operations

• Network-Tracking Reception requires
two types of RDS signals—PI (Programme
Identification) and AF (Alternative
Frequency) to work correctly. Without
receiving these data correctly, Network­Tracking Reception will not operate correctly.

• If a Traffic Announcement is received, the
volume level automatically changes to the
preset level (TA VOL) if the current level is
lower than the preset level.

• This unit has been designed to reproduce
CDs, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/CD-RWs
(Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA format).

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

Inserting a disc

• When a disc is inserted upside down, the disc
automatically ejects.

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

14

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW

General settings—PSM

• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

• This unit 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 unit because of their disc
characteristics, or for the following causes:

– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation occurs on the lens

inside the unit.
– The pickup lens inside the unit 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

(stained, scratched, warped, 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 humidities may cause malfunctions or
damage to the unit.

• If you change the “AMP GAIN” setting from
“HIGH PWR” to “LOW PWR” while the
volume level is set higher than “VOL 30,” the
unit automatically changes the volume level to
“VOL 30.”

• Remplacer le fusible par un de la valeur précisée. Si le fusible saute souvent, consulter votre revendeur
d’autoradios JVC.

• Il est recommandé de connecter des enceintes avec une puissance de plus de 45 W (les enceintes arrière
et les enceintes avant, avec une impédance comprise entre 4 Ω et 8 Ω). Si la puissance maximum est
inférieure à 45 W, changez “AMP GAIN” pour éviter d’endommager vos enceintes (voir page 12 du
MANUEL D’INSTRUCTIONS).

• Pour éviter les court-circuits, couvrir les bornes des fils qui ne sont PAS UTILISÉS avec de la bande
isolante.

• Le dissipateur de chaleur devient très chaud après usage. Faire attention de ne pas le toucher en retirant
cet appareil.

PRECAUTIONS sur l’alimentation et la connexion des enceintes:

• NE CONNECTEZ PAS les fils d’enceintes du cordon d’alimentation à la batterie; sinon,
l’appareil serait sérieusement endommagé.

• AVANT de connecter les fils d’enceintes du cordon d’alimentation aux enceintes, vérifiez le câblage des
enceintes de votre voiture.
