[European Union only]
For safety...
• Do not raise the volume level too much, as this will block
outside sounds, making driving dangerous.
• Stop the car before performing any complicated
operations.
Warning
If you need to operate the unit while driving, be sure to
look around carefully or you may be involved in a traffic
accident.
Caution on volume setting
Temperature inside the car...
If you have parked the car for a long time in hot or cold
weather, wait until the temperature in the car becomes
normal before operating the unit.
Discs produce very little noise compared with other sources.
Lower the volume before playing a disc to avoid damaging
the speakers by the sudden increase of the output level.

MORE ABOUT THIS UNIT
Basic operations
• By pressing SRC on the unit, you can also turn on the
power. If the source is ready, playback also starts.
• If you turn off the power while listening to a track,
playback will start from where it had been stopped
previously next time you turn on the power.
Tuner operations
• During SSM search...
– All previously stored stations are erased and the
stations are stored anew.
– When SSM is over, the station stored in the lowest
preset number will be automatically tuned in.
• Network-Tracking Reception requires two types of Radio
Data System signals—PI (Programme Identification)
and AF (Alternative Frequency) to work correctly.
• If a Traffic Announcement is received by TA Standby
Reception, the volume level automatically changes to the
preset level (TA VOL) if the current level is lower than the
preset level.
• When Alternative Frequency Reception is activated
(with AF selected), Network-Tracking Reception is also
activated automatically. On the other hand, NetworkTracking Reception cannot be deactivated without
deactivating Alternative Frequency Reception.
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 Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product
may not be recommended.
General
• This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs/CD Texts,
and CD-Rs (Recordable)/CD-RWs (Rewritable) in audio CD
(CD-DA) and MP3/WMA formats.
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 be played back on this
unit:
– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation has occurred on the lens inside
• The maximum number of characters for file/folder names
vary depending on the disc format used (includes 4
extension characters—<.mp3> or <.wma>).
– ISO 9660 Level 1: up to 12 characters; ISO 9660 Level
2: up to 31 characters; Romeo: up to 128 characters;
Joliet: up to 64 characters; Windows long file name: up
to 128 characters
• This unit can recognize a total of 512 files, 255 folders,
and 8 hierarchical levels.
• This unit can play back files recorded in VBR (variable bit
rate).
Files recorded in VBR have a discrepancy in the elapsed
time display, and do not show the actual elapsed time.
In particular, this difference becomes noticeable after
performing the search function.
• This unit cannot play back the following files:
– MP3 files encoded in: MP3i and MP3 PRO format, in an
inappropriate format, layer 1/2.
– WMA files: encoded in lossless, professional, and voice
format; not based upon Windows Media® Audio; copyprotected with DRM.
– Files which have data such as AIFF, ATRAC3, etc.
• The search function works but search speed is not
constant.

PREPARATION
INSTALLATION
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 IN-CAR ENTERTAINMENT 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 IN-CAR ENTERTAINMENT
dealer.
• It is recommended to connect to the speakers with maximum power of more than 45 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 45 W, change “AMP GAIN” setting to prevent the
speakers from being damaged (see “General settings—PSM”).
• 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.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Typical connections
Before connecting: Check the wiring in the vehicle carefully. Incorrect connection may cause serious damage to this
unit. The leads of the power cord and those of the connector from the car body may be different in color.
1 Connect the colored leads of the power cord in the order specified in the illustration below.
2 Connect the aerial cord.
3 Finally connect the wiring harness to the unit.
Note: If your vehicle does not have any accessory terminal, move the fuse from the fuse position 1 (initial position) to
fuse position 2, and connect the red lead (A7) to the positive (+) battery terminal.
• The yellow lead (A4) is not used in this case.
