• 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 disc in the CD changer.

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.

ENGLISH

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.

Do not use the following discs:

Warped

Center holder

Sticker

Sticker residue

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

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 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.

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 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.

Playing an MP3/WMA disc

• This receiver can play back MP3/WMA files with the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).

• This receiver can show the names of albums, artists (performer), and ID3 Tag (Version 1.0,

1.1, 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4) for MP3 files and for WMA files.

• This receiver can handle only one-byte characters. No other characters can be correctly displayed.

• This receiver can play back MP3/WMA files meeting the conditions below:

– Bit rate: 8 kbps — 320 kbps – Sampling frequency: 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz (for MPEG-1) 24 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 16 kHz (for MPEG-2) – Disc format: ISO 9660 Level 1/ Level 2,
