– All previously stored stations are erased and
stations are stored newly.
– Received stations are preset in No. 1 (lowest
frequency) to No. 6 (highest frequency).
– When SSM is over, the station stored in
No. 1 will be automatically tuned in.
• When storing a station manually, a previously preset station is erased when a new station is stored in the same preset number.
Disc operations
Caution for DualDisc playback
• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of Non­DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be recommended.
General
• MP3 and WMA (Windows Media® Audio) “tracks” (words “file” and “track” are used interchangeably) are recorded in “folders.”
• This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/ CD-RWs (Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA), MP3 and WMA format.
• When a disc has been loaded, selecting “CD” for the playback source starts disc play.
Inserting a disc
• When a disc is inserted upside down, the disc automatically ejects and the unit starts playing the last selected source.
• Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CD) and unusual shape discs (heart, flower, etc.) into the loading slot.
Playing a disc
• While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3 or WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent sounds.
Playing a CD-R or CD-RW
• 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.
24
• 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).

– 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. – WMA files which are not based upon

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

Caution for DualDisc playback
The Non-DVD side of a DualDisc does not comply with the Compact Disc Digital Audio standard. Therefore, the use of Non­DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be recommended.
General
MP3 and WMA (Windows Media® Audio) “tracks (words file and track are used interchangeably) are recorded in folders.
This unit has been designed to reproduce
CDs/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/ CD-RWs (Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA), MP3 and WMA format.
When a disc has been loaded, selecting CD for the playback source starts disc play.
Inserting a disc
When a disc is inserted upside down, the disc automatically ejects and the unit starts playing the last selected source.
Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CD) and unusual shape discs (heart, flower, etc.) into the loading slot.
Playing a disc
While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3 or WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent sounds.
Playing a CD-R or CD-RW
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.
24
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.

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 units rear ground terminal to the
cars 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 4 to 8 ). 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.
