• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.
• This unit can play back only the files of the
same type which is first detected if a disc
includes both audio CD (CD-DA) files and
MP3/WMA files.
• This unit can play back multi-session discs;
however, unclosed sessions will be skipped
while playing.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play
back on this unit because of their disc
characteristics, and for the following causes:
– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation occurs on the lens
inside the unit.
– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.
– CD-R/CD-RW on which the files are
written with “Packet Write” method.
– There are improper recording conditions
(missing data, etc.) or media conditions
(stain, scratch, warp, etc.).
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time
since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower
than that of regular CDs.
• Do not use the 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
damages to the unit.
Playing an MP3/WMA disc
• This unit can play back MP3/WMA files
with the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma>
(regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).
• This unit can show the names of albums,
artists (performer), and ID3 Tag (Version 1.0,
1.1, 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4) for MP3 files and for
WMA files.
• This unit can display only one-byte
characters. No other characters can be
correctly displayed (see page 11).
• The maximum number of characters for file/
folder names vary among the disc format used
(includes 4 extension characters—<.mp3> or
<.wma>).
– ISO 9660 Level 1: up to 12 characters
– ISO 9660 Level 2: up to 31 characters
– Romeo*: up to 128 (72) characters
– Joliet*: up to 64 (36) characters
– Windows long file name*: up to 128 (72)
characters
* The parenthetic figure is the maximum
number of characters for file/folder names
in case the total number of files and folders
is 313 or more.
• This unit can recognize the total of 512 files,
of 200 folders, and of 8 hierarchies.
• This unit can play back the files recorded in
VBR (variable bit rate).
The files recorded in VBR have a discrepancy
in elapsed time display, and do not show the
actual elapsed time. This difference becomes
noticeable especially after performing the
search function.
• This unit cannot play back the following files:
– MP3 files encoded with MP3i and
MP3 PRO format.
– MP3 files encoded in an unappropriated
format.
– MP3 files encoded with Layer 1/2.
– WMA files encoded with lossless,
professional, and voice format.

JVC car audio dealers.
Parts list for installation and connection
The following parts are provided for this unit.
After checking them, please set them correctly.
The following illustration shows a typical installation. However, you should make adjustments
corresponding to your specific car. In this case consult the manual included with the installation
kit (option).
In some case, depending of the type and the model of your car, it is not possible to install the
unit into the center console.
If you have any questions or require information regarding installation kits, consult your
JVC car audio dealer or a company supplying kits.
• If you are not sure how to install this unit correctly, have it installed by a qualified technician.
Before installing the unit
• When mounting the unit, be sure to use the screws provided, as instructed. If other screws are
used, there is a possibility that parts could become loose or damaged.

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.
• Be sure to ground this unit to the car’s chassis again after installation.
Notes:
• 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 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.
• It is recommended to connect to the speakers with maximum power of more than 50 W (both at the rear and at the front, with an impedance of 4Ωto 8Ω). If the maximum power is less than
50 W, change “AMP GAIN” setting to prevent the speakers from being damaged (see page 21 of the INSTRUCTIONS).
• The heat sink becomes very hot after use. Be careful not to touch it when removing this unit.
