CD CHANGER OPERATIONS

ENGLISH

We recommend that you use the JVC MP3­compatible CD changer with your unit.

By using this CD changer, you can play back
your original CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs
(Rewritable) recorded either in audio CD format
or in MP3 format.

• You can also connect other CH-X series
CD changers (except CH-X99 and CH-X100).
However, they are not compatible with MP3
discs, so you cannot play back MP3 discs.

• You cannot use the KD-MK series CD
changers with this unit.

Before operating your CD changer:

• Refer also to the Instructions supplied with
your CD changer.

• If no discs are in the magazine of the CD
changer or the discs are inserted upside
down, “NO CD” appears on the display. If
this happens, remove the magazine and set
the discs correctly.

• If no magazine is loaded in the CD changer,
“NO MAG” appears on the display. If this
happens, insert the magazine in the CD
changer.

• If “RESET 1” – “RESET 8” appears on the
display, something is wrong with the
connection between this unit and the CD
changer. If this happens, check the
connection and make sure the cords are
connected firmly. Then, press the reset
button of the CD changer.

About MP3 discs

MP3 “files (tracks)” can be recorded in “folders”
—in PC terminology.
During recording, the files 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 file
and folder can be linked to and be accessed from
the root.

MAINTENANCE

Handling discs

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

• This unit is not compatible with MP3 discs,

ENGLISH

but can operate a JVC MP3-compatible CD
changer.

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.

To keep discs clean

A dirty disc may not play correctly.
If a disc does becomes dirty, wipe
it with a soft cloth in a straight line
from center to edge.

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.

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 unit turned
on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates.

Center holder

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

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 play 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 peel 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.

negative terminal and make all electrical connections before installing the
unit. If you are not sure how to install this unit correctly, have it installed by
a qualified technician.

Note:
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 car audio dealers.

• Replace the fuse with one of the specified rating. If the fuse blows
frequently, consult your JVC car audio dealer.

• If noise is a problem...
This unit incorporates a noise filter in the power circuit. However, with
some vehicles, clicking or other unwanted noise may occur. If this
happens, connect the unit’s rear ground terminal (see connection
diagram) to the car’s chassis using shorter and thicker cords, such as
copper braiding or gauge wire. If noise still persists, consult your JVC car
audio dealer.

• Maximum input of the speakers should be more than 45 W at the rear
and 45 W at the front, with an impedance of 4 Ω to 8 Ω.

• Be sure to ground this unit to the car’s chassis.

• The heat sink becomes very hot after use. Be careful not to touch it

when removing this unit.

CONEXIONES ELECTRICAS

Para evitar cortocircuitos, recomendamos que desconecte el terminal
negativo de la batería y que efectúe todas las conexiones eléctricas
antes de instalar la unidad. Si usted no está seguro de cómo instalar
correctamente la unidad, hágala instalar por un técnico cualificado.

Nota:
Esta unidad está diseñada para funcionar con 12 V de CC, con
sistemas eléctricos de masa NEGATIVA. Si su vehículo no posee este

sistema, será necesario un inversor de tensión, que puede ser
adquirido en los concesionarios de JVC de equipos de audio para
automóviles.

• Reemplace el fusible por uno con la corriente especificada. Si el
fusible se quemase frecuentemente consulte con su concesionario de
JVC de equipos de audio para automóviles.

• Si el ruido fuese un problema...
Esta unidad tiene un filtro de ruido en el circuito de alimentación. Sin
embargo, en algunos vehículos, pueden producirse chasquidos u
otros ruidos indeseados. En tal caso conecte el terminal de tierra
posterior (véase diagrama de conexión) del receptor al chasis del
automóvil, utilizando cordones más gruesos y cortos tales como
alambre de cobre trenzado o de grueso calibre. Si el ruido persiste,
consulte a su concesionario de JVC de equipos de audio para
automóvil.

• La entrada máxima de los altavoces debe ser más que 45 W en la
frontal y 45 W en el trasero, con una impedancia de 4 Ω a 8 Ω.

• Asegúrese de conectar esta unidad a tierra en el chasis del

automóvil.

• El sumidero térmico estará muy caliente después del uso. Asegúrese
de no tocarlo al desmontar esta unidad.

RACCORDEMENTS ELECTRIQUES
