Thank you for purchasing a JVC product.
Please read all instructions carefully before operation, to ensure your complete understanding and to obtain the best
possible performance from the unit.
INFORMATION (For U.S.A.)
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Before operating, connect HD Radio tuner box,
KT-HD300 (separately purchased) to the CD changer
jack on the rear of the unit.
What is HD Radio Technology?
HD Radio Technology can deliver high-quality digital
sound—AM digital will have FM-like quality (in stereo)
and FM digital will have CD-like quality—with static-
free and clear reception. Furthermore, stations can offer
text and data, such as artist names and song titles.
• When the HD Radio tuner box is connected, it can also
receive conventional analog broadcasts.
• Many HD Radio stations also offer more than one
channel of programming. This service is called
multicasting.
• To find HD Radio stations in your area, visit
<http://www.hdradio.com/>.
