CAUTION on Volume Setting
CDs produce very little noise compared with other sources. If the volume level is adjusted for the tuner, for
example, the speakers may be damaged by the sudden increase in the output level. Therefore, lower the
volume before playing a CD and adjust it as required during playback.
How to reset your unit
Press the reset button on the front panel using
a ball-point pen or similar tool.
Note:
Your preset adjustments—such as preset channels

CD CHANGER OPERATIONS
ENGLISH
We recommend that you use the JVC MP3compatible CD changer with this unit.
This unit cannot read MP3 “tracks” (word “file” is
not used to indicate MP3 files, “track” is used in
this manual) recorded on CD-Rs, CD-RWs or
CD-ROMs. However, by using the JVC MP3compatible CD changer, you can playback your
original CD-Rs and CD-RWs recorded either in
audio CD format or in MP3 format.
• If you have another CD changer, consult your
car dealer or JVC car audio dealer for
connections.
About MP3 discs
What is MP3?
MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts
Group (or MPEG) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a
file format with a data compression ratio of 1:10
(128 Kbps*). That means, by using MP3 format,
one CD-R or CD-RW can contain 10 times as
much data volume as a regular CD can.
* Bit rate is the average number of bits that one
second of audio data will consume. The unit used is
Kbps. To get a better audio quality, choose a higher
bit rate. The most popular bit rate for encoding is
128 Kbps.
How are MP3 tracks recorded?
MP3 tracks can be recorded in “folders.”
During recording, the tracks and folders can be
arranged in a way similar to arranging tracks and
folders of computer data.
“Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every track
and folder can be linked to and be accessed
from the root.

instructed. If other screws are used, there is a
possibility that parts could become loose or
damaged.
• When tightening screws or bolts, be careful not
to pinch any connection cord.
• If you are not sure how to connect the CD
changer correctly, consult your car dealer or
JVC car audio dealer, or have it installed by a
qualified technician. Refer also to the
instructions supplied for the CD changer.
The following illustration shows the connection
to JVC CD changer. If you have another CD
changer, consult your car dealer or JVC car
audio dealer for connections.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Handling cassettes
The cassette deck built in this unit requires very
little attention, but you will be able to extend the
life of the cassette deck 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
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.
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 use of C-120 or longer tape is not
recommended, since characteristic deterioration
may occur and this tape easily jams in the pinch
rollers and the capstans.
The function below is also provided to ensure the
longer life of the cassette deck.
Ignition key-off release
When you turn off the ignition key with a cassette
in the compartment, the unit automatically
releases the tape from its head.
ENGLISH
To keep the tape clean
• Always store the tapes in their storage cases
after use.
• Do not store tapes in the following places:
– Subject to direct sunlight
– With high humidity
– At extremely hot temperatures
19
Page 20
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,
but can operate a JVC MP3-compatible CD
ENGLISH
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 in their 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.
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

loading slot. (Such discs cannot be ejected.)

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,
