MAINTENANCE

To extend the lifetime of the unit
This unit requires very little attention, but you will be able to extend the life of the unit if you follow the instructions below.

To clean the heads

Clean the heads after every 10 hours of use using a wet-type head cleaning tape (available at an audio store). When the head becomes dirty, you may realize the following symptoms: Sound quality is reduced. Sound level decreases. Sound drops out. Do not play dirty or dusty tapes. Do not touch the highly-polished head with any metallic or magnetic tools.

To keep the tape clean

Always store the tapes to their storage cases after use. Do not store tapes in the following places: Subject to direct sunlight With high humidity At extremely hot temperatures
CAUTIONS: Do not play the tapes with peeling labels; otherwise, they can damage the unit. Tighten tapes to remove slack since loose tape may become entangled with the mechanism. Do not leave a cassette in the cassette compartment after use, as the tape may become slack.

How to reset your unit

Press and hold both the SEL (Select) and (Standby/On/ATT) buttons at the same time for several seconds. This will reset the built-in microcomputer. NOTE: Your preset adjustments such as preset channels or sound adjustments will also be erased.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

To prevent short circuits, we recommend that you disconnect the batterys negative terminal and make all electrical connections before installing the unit. If you are not sure how to install this unit correctly, have it installed by a qualified technician. Note: This unit is designed to operate on 12 volts 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. Replace the fuse with one of the specified rating. If the fuse blows frequently, consult your JVC IN-CAR ENTERTAINMENT dealer. If noise is a problem. This unit incorporates a noise filter in the power circuit. However, with some vehicles, clicking or other unwanted noise may occur. If this happens, connect the units rear ground terminal (See connection diagram below.) to the cars chassis using shorter and thicker cords, such as copper braiding or gauge wire. If noise still persists, consult your JVC IN-CAR ENTERTAINMENT dealer. Maximum input of the speakers should be more than 40 watts at the rear and 40 watts at the front, with an impedance of 4 to 8 ohms. Be sure to ground this unit to the cars chassis. The heat sink becomes very hot after use. Be careful not to touch it when removing this unit.
