INFORMATION (For U.S.A.)

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Caution

Changes or modifications not approved by JVC could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

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 disc, disc
play will start from where it had been stopped previously
next time you turn on the power.

• When no disc is loaded in the unit, you cannot select “CD”
as the playback source.

Tuner operations

• During SSM search...

– All previously stored stations are erased and the

stations are stored anew.

– 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.

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.

• After ejecting a disc, “NO DISC” appears and you cannot
operate some of the buttons. Insert another disc or press
SRC to select another playback source.

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 unit.
– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.
– The files on the CD-R/CD-RW are written using the

“Packet Write” method.

1– EN

– 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.

Playing an MP3/WMA disc

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

• This unit can show the names of albums, artists
(performer), and tag (Version 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4) for
MP3 files and for WMA files.

• This unit can display only one-byte characters. No other
characters can be correctly displayed.

• This unit 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, Romeo, Joliet,

Windows long file name

• 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 64 characters; Joliet:
up to 32 characters; Windows long file name: up to 126
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.
