Warning
If you need to operate the unit while driving, be sure to
look around carefully or you may be involved in a traffic
accident.
Caution on volume setting
Discs produce very little noise compared with other sources.
Lower the volume before playing a disc to avoid damaging
the speakers by the sudden increase of the output level.
For safety...
• Do not raise the volume level too much, as this will block
outside sounds, making driving dangerous.
• Stop the car before performing any complicated
operations.
Temperature inside the car...
If you have parked the car for a long time in hot or cold
weather, wait until the temperature in the car becomes
normal before operating the unit.

MAINTENANCE
How to clean the connectors
Wipe the connectors
with a cotton swab or
cloth moistened with
alcohol.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit. Eject
the disc and leave the unit turned on for a few hours until
the moisture has evaporated.
To keep discs clean
Wipe in a straight line from center of disc to
edge. Do not use liquid cleaners, thinners, or
benzene.
– 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 (stained, scratched, warped,
etc.).
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the
reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular CDs.
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 tag (Version 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4) for
MP3 files and for WMA files
• This unit can play back MP3/WMA files meeting the
conditions below:
– Bit rate: 8 kbps — 320 kbps
– Sampling frequency:
48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz (for MPEG-1)
24 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 16 kHz (for MPEG-2)
– Disc format: ISO 9660 Level 1/ Level 2, Romeo, Joliet,
Windows long file name
• The maximum number of characters for file/folder names
vary depending on 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 characters;
Joliet: up to 64 characters; Windows long file name: up
to 128 characters
• This unit can recognize a total of 512 files, 255 folders,
and 8 hierarchical levels.
• This unit can play back files recorded in VBR (variable bit
rate).
Files recorded in VBR have a discrepancy in the elapsed
time display, and do not show the actual elapsed time.
In particular, this difference becomes noticeable after
performing the search function.
• This unit cannot play back the following files:
– MP3 files: encoded in MP3i and MP3 PRO format; an
inappropriate format; layer 1/2.
– WMA files: encoded in lossless, professional, and voice
format; not based upon Windows Media® Audio; copy-
protected with DRM.
– Files which have data such as AIFF, ATRAC3, etc.
• The search function works but search speed is not
constant.
Basic operations
• By pressing SRC on the unit, you can also turn on the
power. If the source is ready, playback also starts.
• If you turn off the power while listening to a track,
playback will start from where it had been stopped
previously next time you turn on the power.
• If no operation is done for about 30 seconds after
pressing MENU button, the operation will be canceled.
Tuner operations
• During SSM search...
– All previously stored stations are erased and the
stations are stored anew.
– When SSM is over, the station stored in the lowest
preset number will be automatically tuned in.
• Network-Tracking Reception requires two types of Radio
Data System signals—PI (Programme Identification)
and AF (Alternative Frequency) to work correctly.
• If a Traffic Announcement is received by TA Standby
Reception, the volume level automatically changes to the
preset level (TA VOL) if the current level is lower than the
preset level.
• When Alternative Frequency Reception is activated
(with AF selected), Network-Tracking Reception is also
activated automatically. On the other hand, Network-
Tracking Reception cannot be deactivated without
deactivating Alternative Frequency Reception.
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 Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product
may not be recommended.
General
• This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs/CD Texts,
and CD-Rs (Recordable)/CD-RWs (Rewritable) in audio CD
(CD-DA) and MP3/WMA formats.
Playing a CD-R or CD-RW
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.
• This unit can play back multi-session discs; however,
unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this
unit:
– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation has occurred on the lens inside
the unit.

You can tune in to a station broadcasting your favourite
programme by searching for a PTY code.
Standby receptions
TA Standby Reception
TA Standby Reception allows the unit to switch
temporarily to Traffic Announcement (TA) from any
source other than AM and FM-LO.
To activate/deactivate TA Standby Reception
• If the TP indicator flashes, TA Standby
Reception is not yet activated.
To activate the reception, tune in to another
station providing Radio Data System signals required
for TA Standby Reception.
PTY Standby Reception
PTY Standby Reception allows the unit to switch
temporarily to your favourite PTY programme from any
source other than AM and FM-LO.
To activate and select your favourite PTY code
for PTY Standby Reception, see “Menu operations:
PTY-STANDBY.”
• If the PTY indicator flashes, PTY Standby Reception is
not yet activated.
To activate the reception, tune in to another
station providing these signals.
Tracing the same programme—Network-
Tracking Reception
When driving in an area where FM reception is not
sufficient enough, this unit automatically tunes in to
another FM Radio Data System station of the same
network, possibly broadcasting the same programme
with stronger signals.
Programme A broadcasting on different frequency
areas (01 – 05)
To change the Network-Tracking Reception
setting, see “Menu operation: AF-REG.”
Automatic station selection—Programme
Search
Usually when you select a preset number, the station
preset in that number is tuned in.
If the signals from the FM Radio Data System preset
station are not sufficient for good reception, this unit,
using the AF data, tunes in to another frequency possibly
broadcasting the same programme as the original preset
station is broadcasting.
See “Menu operations: P-SEARCH.”

(“READING” keeps flashing on the display).
Do not use too many hierarchical levels and folders.
• Tracks are not played back in the order you
have intended.
Playback order is determined when the files are recorded.

PRECAUTIONS on power supply and speaker connections
PREPARATION
This unit is designed to operate on 12 V DC, NEGATIVE ground electrical
systems. If your vehicle does not have this system, a voltage inverter is required,
which can be purchased at JVC IN-CAR ENTERTAINMENT dealers.
WARNINGS
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 IN-CAR ENTERTAINMENT 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 4Ω to 8 Ω). If the maximum power
is less than 50 W, change “AMP GAIN” setting to prevent the speakers from being
damaged (see “Menu operation”).
• To prevent short-circuit, cover the terminals of the UNUSED leads with insulating tape.
• The heat sink becomes very hot after use. Be careful not to touch it when removing this unit.
