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.

Maintenance
How to clean the connectors
Frequent detachment will deteriorate the connectors.
To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe the
ENGLISH
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 unit in
the following cases:
• After starting the heater in the car.
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.
Should this occur, the unit 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.
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.
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 unit may reject
the disc.
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with a
pencil or ball-point pen, etc.
How to handle SD card
SD cards are precision products. DO NOT impact, bend,
drop, or wet them.

More about this unit
Basic operations
Turning on the power
• By pressing SOURCE on the unit, you can also turn on
the power. If the source is ready, playback also starts.
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.
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, the previously
preset station is erased when a new station is stored
in the same preset number.
Disc/SD card/USB memory 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 format; MP3/
WMA files recorded in an SD card or a USB memory.
• While playing an audio CD: If a title has been
assigned to the audio CD (see page 19), it will be
shown on the display.
• While fast-forwarding or reversing an MP3/WMA
track, you can only hear intermittent sounds.
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, (beeps sound when the “Beep” setting is
turned “On”—see page 17) 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 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 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.
