CD CHANGER OPERATIONS

Read this section only when you used with a JVC CD automatic changer (separately
purchased).

We recommend that you use one of the CH-X series with your unit.
If you have another CD automatic changer, consult your JVC car audio dealer for connections.

• For example, if your CD automatic changer is one of the KD-MK series, you need a cord (KS­U15K) for connecting it to this unit.

Before operating your CD automatic 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” or “NO DISC” will appear on the display. If this happens, remove the
magazine and set the discs correctly.

• 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, connect
the connecting cord(s) firmly if necessary, then press the reset button of the CD changer.

MAINTENANCE

To extend the lifetime of the unit

This unit requires very little attention, but you will be able to extend the life of the unit if you
follow the instructions below.

ENGLISH

To clean the heads

• Clean the heads after every 10 hours of use using a
wet-type head cleaning tape (available at an audio store).
When the head becomes dirty, you may realize the
following symptoms:

– Sound quality is reduced.
– Sound level decreases.
– Sound drops out.

• Do not play dirty or dusty tapes.

• Do not touch the highly-polished head with any metallic

or magnetic tools.

To keep the tape clean

• Always store the tapes to their storage cases after use.

• Do not store tapes in the following places:
– Subject to direct sunlight
– With high humidity
– At extremely hot temperatures

CAUTIONS:

• Do not play the tapes with peeling labels; otherwise, they can damage the unit.

• Tighten tapes to remove slack since loose tape may become entangled with the mechanism.

• Do not leave a cassette in the cassette compartment after use, as the tape may become slack.

The function below is also provided to ensure the longer life of this unit.

Ignition key-off Release/Ignition key-on play

• When you turn off the ignition key with a cassette in the compartment, the unit automatically
releases the tape from its head.

• When you turn on the ignition key with a cassette in the compartment, playback automatically
starts.

How to Reset your unit

Press and hold both the SEL (Select) and (Standby/On/ATT) buttons at the
same time for several seconds.
This will reset the built-in microcomputer.
NOTE: Your preset adjustments — such as preset channels or sound adjustments —

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

To prevent short circuits, we recommend that you disconnect the
battery’s 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 volts 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 below.) 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 40 watts at
the rear and 40 watts at the front, with an impedance of 4 to 8
ohms.

• 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 voltios 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 (Ver diagrama de conexión abajo.)
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 traseros debe ser mayor

de 40 vatios y la de los delanteros de 40 vatios, con una
impedancia de 4 a 8 ohmnios.

• 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

Pour éviter tout court-circuit, nous vous recommandons de
débrancher la borne négative de la batterie et d’effectuer tous les
raccordements électriques avant d’installer l’appareil. Si l’on n’est
pas sûr de pouvoir installer correctement cet appareil, le faire
installer par un technicien qualifié.

Remplacer le fusible par un de la valeur précisée. Si le fusible
saute souvent, consulter votre revendeur d’autoradios JVC.

•

Si le bruit est un problème...
Cet appareil incorpore un filtre de bruit dans le circuit
d’alimentation. Cependant, avec certains véhicules, quelques
claquements ou autres bruits non désirés risquent de se produire.
Si cela arrive, raccorder la
