Press and hold the number button (in this example, 1) for more than 2 seconds.

Tuning in to a preset station

You can easily tune in to a preset station. Remember that you must store stations first. If you have not stored them yet, see “Storing stations in memory” on pages 12 and 13.

ENGLISH

The display pattern automatically changes to the small animation display (see page

14).

After about

5 seconds

Preset number appears.

Repeat the above procedure to store other stations into other preset numbers.

Notes:

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

DISC OPERATIONS

ENGLISH

This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs, CD-Rs (Recordable), CD-RWs (Rewritable), and CD Texts.

• This unit is also compatible with MP3 and WMA discs. For details about these discs, refer to “A Guide to MP3/WMA” (separate volume).

About MP3 and WMA discs

MP3 and WMA (Windows Media® Audio) “tracks” (word “file” is not used to indicate MP3 or WMA files, “track” is used in this manual) are recorded in “folders.” During recording, the tracks and folders can be arranged in a way similar to arranging files and folders of computer data. “Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every track and folder can be linked to and be accessed from the root.

GRAPHIC DISPLAYS

With the supplied Image Converter CD-ROM, you can edit your own favorite pictures and use them as the opening screen, ending screen, and graphic screen while playing a source.

What is Image Converter?

Image Converter is a JVC’s original software to produce customize images to be shown on your JVC Car Audio.

Here is a basic procedure to make a CD-R including still images (pictures) and animations (movies) using Image Converter

In this manual, we only explain how to export the files (still images and animations) into the built-in memory of this unit—step 5 below.

• For the other processes (from steps 1 to 4 below), refer to Image Converter’s Operation Guide (PDF files included in the “Manual” folder of the supplied CD-ROM).

Export the images to your JVC Car Audio from the CD-R you made.

Downloading images and animations

Before starting the following procedure, prepare

ENGLISH

a CD-ROM including still images (pictures) and animations (movies).

• The supplied Image Converter CD-ROM includes sample images and animations, so you can use this disc as your first trial.

IMPORTANT:

• Still images (pictures) should have <jml>, and animations (movies) should have <jma> as their extension code in their file names.

• Downloading a file can be done only while selecting “CD” as the source; on the other hand, deleting a file can be done while selecting any source.

• Before you download or erase the files, observe the following: – Do not download a file while driving. – Do not turn off the ignition key of the car

while downloading or erasing a file*.

– Do not detach the control panel while

Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

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

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played

back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, and for the following reasons:

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

unit.

– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time

since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular CDs.

• CD-Rs or CD-RWs are susceptible to high temperatures or high humidity, so do not leave them inside your car.

• Do not use 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. For example, – Stickers or labels may shrink and warp a

disc. – Stickers or labels may be peeled off so discs

cannot be ejected. – Print on discs may get sticky. Read instructions or cautions about labels and printable discs carefully.

CAUTIONS:

• Do not insert 8 cm (3-3/16") discs (single CDs) into the loading slot. (Such discs cannot be ejected.)

• Do not insert any disc of unusual shape—like a heart or flower; otherwise, it will cause a malfunction.

• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or any heat source or place them in a place subject to high temperature and humidity. Do not leave them in a car.

• Do not use any solvent (for example, conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean discs.
