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 DISC” will appear 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

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 head

• 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

• Do not touch the highly-polished head with any
metallic or magnetic tools.

CAUTION:

• Do not play the cassettes 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

• Turning off the ignition key with a cassette in the
compartment automatically releases the tape
from the unit’s tapehead.

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 only 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 50 W at
the rear and 50 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 solamente. 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 traseros no debe ser más
que 50 W en el trasero y 50 W en la frontal, 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.
