Inserting a disc
• Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CD) and
unusual shape discs (heart, flower, etc.) into
the loading slot.
• When a disc is inserted upside down,
“PLEASE” and “EJECT” appear alternately on
the display. Press 0 to eject the disc.
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 unit can play back only files of the same
type which are first detected if a disc includes
both audio CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/
WMA files.
• 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 reasons:
– 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 a 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.

USB memories or some files due to their
characteristics or recording conditions.
• Depending on the shape of the USB memories
and connection ports, some USB memories
may not be attached properly or the
connection might be loose.
• It is not recommended to use a USB memory
wider than 20 mm as it will block you from
pressing the 0 button.
• If the connected USB memory does not have
the correct files, “NO FILES” appears and the
unit returns to the previous source.
• This unit can show Tag (Version 1.0, 1.1, 2.2,
2.3, or 2.4) for MP3 files and for WMA files.
• This unit can play back MP3/WMA files
meeting the conditions below:
• This unit can play back MP3 files recorded in

again into the loading slot to protect it from
dust. (Disc will not play this time.)
General settings—PSM
• “AUTO” setting for “DIMMER” may not
work correctly on some vehicles, particularly
on those having a control dial for dimming.
In this case, change the “DIMMER” setting to
any other than “AUTO.”
• 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.”
Title assignment
• If you try to assign titles to more than 30
station frequencies or 30 discs, “NAMEFULL”
appears. Delete unwanted titles before
assignment.

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.
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.
Center holder
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.
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:
Warped disc
Sticker
Sticker residue
Stick-on label

Design and specifications are subject to change
without notice.
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
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 ground this unit to the car’s chassis again after installation.
Notes:
• Replace the fuse with one of the specified rating. If the fuse blows frequently, consult your JVC car audio
dealers.
• It is recommended to connect to the speakers with 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 14 of the
INSTRUCTIONS).
• To prevent short-circuit, 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.
The following parts are provided for this unit. If any item is missing, consult your JVC car audio dealer
