*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 read this manual
The following methods are used to made the explanations simple and easy-to-understand: Some related tips and notes are explained in More about this receiver (see page 28). Button operations are mainly explained with the illustrations as follows:
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.
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.
The following marks are used to indicate. : Built-in CD player operations. : External CD changer operations.

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 EXT IN setting to EXT IN (see page 21), you cannot select the CD changer.

SIRIUS radio operations

About SIRIUS radio
SIRIUS is a satellite radio that can deliver digital-quality sound. SIRIUS has 65 music channels which are all commercial-free and 50 channels of sports, news, and entertainment programs. You can enjoy and control the SIRIUS radio digital entertainment channels from the receiver by connecting the JVC SIRIUS radio DLPDown Link Processor (optionally purchased) to the CD changer jack on the rear. You can also connect the JVC SIRIUS radio PnP (Plug and Play), KT-SR1000 or KT-SR2000, using the JVC SIRIUS radio adapter, KS-U100K (not supplied). By turning on the power of the receiver, you can turn on/off the JVC PnP. However, you cannot control it from this receiver. GCI (Global Control Information) update: If channels are updated after subscription, updating starts automatically. UPDATING flashes and no sound can be heard. Update takes a few minutes to complete. During update, you cannot operate your SIRIUS radio. Before operating your SIRIUS radio: For connection, see Installation/ Connection Manual (separate volume). Refer also to the Instructions supplied with your SIRIUS radio. Before you can listen to JVC DLP, activate your SIRIUS subscription after connection: 1

More about this receiver

ENGLISH Basic operations

Turning off the power
If you turn off the power while listening to a disc, disc play will start from where playback has been stopped previously, next time you turn on the power.

Playing a disc

While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3 or WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent sounds.

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW

Use only finalized CD-Rs or CD-RWs. This receiver can play back only the files of the same type which is first detected if a disc includes both audio CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/WMA files. This receiver can play back multi-session discs; however, unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing. Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back on this receiver because of their disc characteristics, and for the following causes: Discs are dirty or scratched. Moisture condensation occurs on the lens inside the receiver. The pickup lens inside the receiver is dirty. CD-R/CD-RW on which the files are written with Packet Write method. There are improper recording conditions (missing data, etc.) or media conditions (stain, scratch, warp, etc.). CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular CDs. Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs: Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal stuck to the surface. Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an ink jet printer. Using these discs under high temperatures or high humidity may cause malfunctions or damage to discs.

Selecting the sources

When no disc is loaded in the receiver, CD cannot be selected. Without connecting to the SIRIUS radio or CD changer, SIRIUS or CD-CH cannot be selected.

Tuner operations

During SSM search. All previously stored stations are erased and stations are stored newly. 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. When storing a station manually, a previously preset station is erased when a new station is stored in the same preset number.

General

This receiver has been designed to reproduce CDs/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/ CD-RWs (Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA), MP3 and WMA format. When a disc has been loaded, selecting CD for the playback source starts disc play.

Inserting a disc

When a disc is inserted upside down, the disc automatically ejects. Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CD) and unusual shape discs (heart, flower, etc.) into the loading slot.

Troubleshooting

What appears to be trouble is not always serious. Check the following points before calling a service center.

Noise is generated. MP3/WMA playback
The track played back is not an MP3/WMA file (although it has the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma>). Readout time varies due to the complexity of the folder/ file configuration. Playback order is determined when the files are recorded.
