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.
Caution
Changes or modifications not approved by JVC could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

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.
To keep discs clean
Wipe in a straight line from center of disc to 
edge. Do not use liquid cleaners, thinners, or 
benzene.
To play new discs
Remove any rough areas from the inner and 
outer edges of the disc.
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.
Do not use the following discs:
  –  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  or  (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 display only one-byte characters. No other 
characters can be correctly displayed.
•  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— or ).
  –  ISO 9660 Level 1: up to 12 characters; ISO 9660 Level 2: 
up to 31 characters; Romeo: up to 64 characters; Joliet: 
up to 32 characters; Windows long file name: up to 126 
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, in 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 WAVE, 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 disc, disc 
play will start from where it had been stopped previously 
next time you turn on the power.
•  When no disc is loaded in the unit, you cannot select “CD” 
as the playback source.
  Tuner operations
•  During SSM search...
  –  All previously stored stations are erased and the 
stations are stored anew.
  –  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.

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.
•  After ejecting a disc, “NO DISC” appears and you cannot 
operate some of the buttons. Insert another disc or press 
SRC to select another playback source.
Playing a CD-R or CD-RW
•  Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

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 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 Ω to 
8 Ω). If the maximum power is less than 50 W, change “AMP GAIN” setting to 
prevent the speakers from being damaged (see “General settings—PSM”).
•  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.

PREPARATION
Symptoms Remedies/Causes
General
•  Sound cannot be heard from the speakers. •  Adjust the volume to the optimum level.
•  Check the cords and connections.
•  The buttons on the unit do not work as you 
intended.If you press M MODE, some buttons work differently from it 
original function. Wait for 5 seconds or press M MODE again.
•  This unit does not work at all. Reset the unit.
FM/AM
•  SSM automatic presetting does not work. Store stations manually.
•  Static noise while listening to the radio. Connect the antenna firmly.
Disc playback
•  Disc ejects. 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 be neither played back nor ejected. •  Unlock the disc.
•  Eject the disc forcibly.
•  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.
•  “PLEASE” and “EJECT” appear alternately 
on the display.Insert a playable disc into the loading slot.
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  or  to the file names.
•  Noise is generated. Skip to another track or change the disc. (Do not add the extension 
code  or  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 are not played back in the order you 
have intended.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.
•  The correct characters are not displayed 
(e.g. album name).This unit can only display alphabets (upper case), numbers, and a 
limited number of symbols.
