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. You cannot control and play any WMA disc in the CD changer. All tracks of the inserted discs in the magazine will be played repeatedly until you change the source or eject the magazine from 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.

This receiver can show the names of albums, artists (performer), and ID3 Tag (Version 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4) for MP3 files and for WMA files. This receiver can display only one-byte characters. No other characters can be correctly displayed (see page 49). This receiver 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) 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz (for WMA) Disc format: ISO 9660 Level 1/ Level 2, Romeo, Joliet, Windows long file name For MP3/WMA discs: The maximum number of characters for file/ folder names vary among the disc format used (includes 4 extension characters<.mp3> or <.wma>).

This receiver can recognize the total of 512 files, of 200 folders, and of 8 hierarchies of an MP3/WMA disc; 255 files and 63 folders of an SD card.
This receiver can play back the files recorded in VBR (variable bit rate). The files recorded in VBR have a discrepancy in elapsed time display, and do not show the actual elapsed time. Especially, after performing the search function, this difference becomes noticeable. This receiver cannot play back the following files: MP3 files encoded with MP3i and MP3 PRO format. MP3 files encoded in an unappropriated format. MP3 files encoded with Layer 1/2. WMA files encoded with lossless, professional, and voice format. WMA files which are not based upon Windows Media Audio. WMA files copy-protected with DRM. Files which have the data such as WAVE, ATRAC3, etc. The search function works but search speed is not constant.

Changing the source

If you change the source, playback also stops (without ejecting the disc). Next time you select CD, SD, or CD-CH for the playback source, playback starts from where it has been stopped previously.
