To keep discs clean
A dirty disc may not play
correctly. If a disc does become
dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth
in a straight line from center to
edge.
• Do not use any solvents (for example,
conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner,
benzine, etc.) to clean discs.
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.
Do not use the following discs:
Single CD (8 cm disc) Warped disc
Sticker and sticker
residue Stick-on label
Unusual shape
C-thru Disc
(semitransparent
disc)
Transparent or
semitransparent
parts on its recording
area
Maintenance
How to clean the connectors
Frequent detachment will deteriorate the
connectors.
To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe
the connectors with a cotton swab or cloth
moistened with alcohol, being careful not to
damage the connectors.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the
unit in the following cases:
• After starting the heater in the car.
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.
Should this occur, the unit may malfunction.
In this case, eject the disc and leave the unit
turned on for a few hours until the moisture
has evaporated.
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 in its case, gently insert
the disc around the center holder (with the
printed surface facing up).
• Make sure to store discs in cases after use.

–Moisture condensation has occurred on the
lens inside the unit.
–The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.
–The files on the CD-R/CD-RW are written
using the “Packet Write” method.
–There are improper recording conditions
(missing data, etc.) or media conditions

Troubleshooting
Symptom Remedy/Cause
General
Sound cannot be heard from the
speakers.
• Adjust the volume to the optimum level.
• Make sure the unit is not muted/paused ( 6).
• Check the cords and connections.
“PROTECT” appears on the display
and no operations can be done.
Check to be sure the terminals of the speaker leads
are covered with insulating tape properly, then
reset the unit ( 3).
If “PROTECT” does not disappear, consult your JVC
car audio dealer or a company supplying kits.
The unit does not work at all. Reset the unit. ( 3)
“AUX” cannot be selected. Check the <SRC SELECT>
=
<AUX IN> setting.
( 15)
FM/AM
SSM automatic presetting does
not work.
Store stations manually.
Static noise while listening to the
radio.
Connect the antenna firmly.
“AM” cannot be selected. Check the <SRC SELECT>
=
<AM> setting. ( 15)

Symptom Remedy/Cause
Disc playback
Disc cannot be played back. Insert the disc correctly.
• CD-R/CD-RW cannot be played
back.
• Tracks on the CD-R/CD-RW
cannot be skipped.
• Insert a finalized CD-R/CD-RW.
• Finalize the CD-R/CD-RW with the component
which you used for recording.
Disc can neither be played back
nor ejected.
• Unlock the disc. ( 8)
• Eject the disc forcibly. ( 3)
Disc sound is sometimes
interrupted.
• Stop playback while driving on rough roads.
• Change the disc.
• Check the cords and connections.
“NO DISC” appears on the display. Insert a playable disc into the loading slot.
“PLEASE” and “EJECT“ appear
alternately on the display.
Press
0
, then insert a disc correctly.
MP3/WMA playback
Disc cannot be played back. • Use a disc with MP3/WMA tracks recorded in a
format compliant with ISO 9660 Level 1, Level 2,
Romeo, or Joliet.
• Add the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> to the
file names.
Noise is generated. Skip to another track or change the disc. (Do not
add the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> to
non-MP3 or WMA tracks.)
A longer readout time is required
(“READING” keeps flashing on the
display).
Do not use too many hierarchical levels and folders.
Tracks do not play back in the order
you have intended them to play.
The playback order is determined when the files are
recorded.
The elapsed playing time is not
correct.
This sometimes occurs during playback. This is
caused by how the tracks are recorded on the disc.
For KD-R416/KD-R415: “NO FILE”
appears on the display.
Selected folder is an empty folder *. Select another
folder that contains MP3/WMA tracks.
* Folder that is physically empty or folder that contains
data but does not contain valid MP3/WMA track.
“NOT SUPPORT” appears on the
display and track skips.
Skip to the next track encoded in an appropriate
format or to the next non-copy-protected WMA
track.
The correct characters are not
displayed (e.g. album name).
This unit can only display letters (upper case),
numbers, and a limited number of symbols.
