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 MAG” 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.

Note on One-Touch Operation:

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.

To clean the heads

• Clean the heads after every 10 hours of use
using a wet-type head cleaning tape (available

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.
