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.

How to handle discs/SD cards

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.

SD cards are precision products. DO NOT
impact, bend, drop, or wet them.

Center holder

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.

More about this receiver

Basic operations

Turning on the power

• By pressing SOURCE on the receiver, you
can also turn on the power.

ENGLISH

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 source

• When no disc or SD card is loaded in the
receiver, “CD” or “SD” cannot be selected.

• Without connecting to the CD changer,
“CD-CH” cannot be selected.

• To select the “EXT-IN” for the playback
source, set the “Ext Input” setting correctly
(see page 32).

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/SD card 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 and MP3/WMA files
recorded in an SD card.

• When a disc or an SD card has been loaded,
selecting “CD” or “SD” for the playback
source starts playback.

• When a track or folder whose number is
greater than 99 is selected, the icon before the
number (
3-digits number).

, ) goes off (to show its assigned

Inserting a disc

• When a disc is inserted upside down, the
control panel moves down, and the disc
automatically ejects from the loading slot.

• If you keep the control panel open for about 1
minute, (beep sound when the “Beep” setting
is turned “On”—see page 32) the control
panel returns to its previous position.

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

Playing a disc/SD card

• While playing an audio CD: If a title has been
assigned to the audio CD (see page 36), it will
be shown on the display.

• While fast-forwarding or reversing an MP3 or
WMA track, you can only hear intermittent
sounds.

• While playing an SD card, the playback order
may differ from other SD players.

• This receiver may be unable to play back
some SD cards due to their characteristics or
recording conditions.

• This receiver cannot play back mini SD card
and MMC.

• If the inserted SD card does not have the
correct files, “SD” is skipped.

40

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.
– 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 humidities may cause malfunctions or
damages to discs.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

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

• Be sure to ground this receiver 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 dealer.

• 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
32 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
receiver.

PRECAUTIONS on power supply and speaker connections:

• DO NOT connect the speaker leads of the power cord to the car battery; otherwise,

the receiver will be seriously damaged.

• BEFORE connecting the speaker leads of the power cord to the speakers, check the

speaker wiring in your car.

Connecting the external amplifiers / °“√µËÕ‡æ‘Ë¡‡µ‘¡‡¢È“°—∫Õÿª°√≥ÏÕ◊Ëπ

You can connect amplifiers to upgrade your car stereo system.

• Connect the remote lead (blue with white stripe) to the remote lead of the other equipment so

that it can be controlled through this receiver.

• For amplifier only:
– Disconnect the speakers from this receiver, connect them to the amplifier. Leave

the speaker leads of this receiver unused.

– The line output level of this receiver is kept high to maintain the hi-fi sounds reproduced

from this receiver.

When connecting an external amplifier to this receiver, turn down the gain control on the

external amplifier to obtain the best performance from this receiver.
