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.

Caution:

Do not insert your finger behind the control panel.

*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.

How to use the MODE button
If you press MODE, the receiver goes into functions mode, then the number buttons and 5/ buttons work as different function buttons. Ex.: When number button 2 works as MO (monaural) button.

Press briefly.

Press repeatedly.

Press either one.

Time countdown indicator
Press and hold until your desired response begins. Press and hold both buttons at the same time.
To use these buttons for original functions again after pressing MODE, wait for 5 seconds without pressing any of these buttons until the functions mode is cleared. Pressing MODE again also clears the functions mode.

Playing discs in the CD changer

About the CD changer

It is recommended to use the JVC MP3compatible CD changer with your receiver. You can also connect other CH-X series CD changers (except CH-X99 and CH-X100). However, they are not compatible with MP3 discs, so you cannot play back MP3 discs. You cannot use the KD-MK series CD changers with this receiver. Disc text information recorded in the CD Text can be displayed when a JVC CD Text compatible CD changer is connected. Before operating your CD changer: Refer also to the Instructions supplied with your CD changer. You cannot control and play any WMA disc in the CD changer.
* If you have changed EXTERNAL IN setting to EXTERNAL IN (see page 22), you cannot select the CD changer.

Maintenance

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. 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 solvent (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 receiver may reject the disc. To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.

Connector

Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD player in the following cases: After starting the heater in the car. If it becomes very humid inside the car. Should this occur, the CD player may malfunction. In this case, eject the disc and leave the receiver turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates.

You can connect amplifiers to upgrade your car stereo system. Connect the remote lead (blue with white stripe) to the remote lead of the other equipment so that it can be controlled through this receiver. For amplifier only: Disconnect the speakers from this receiver, connect them to the amplifier. Leave the speaker leads of this receiver unused. Only for KD-AR760: You can switch off the built-in amplifier and send the audio signals only to the external amplifier(s) to get clear sounds and to prevent internal heat built-up inside the receiver. See page 22 of the INSTRUCTIONS (separate volume). The line output level of this receiver is kept high to maintain the hi-fi sounds reproduced from this receiver. When connecting an external amplifier to this receiver, turn down the gain control on the external amplifier to obtain the best performance from this receiver.
