CD CHANGER OPERATIONS

We recommend that you use the JVC MP3-compatible CD changer with your unit.

By using this CD changer, you can play backyour original CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs(Rewritable) recorded either in audio CD formator in MP3 format.• You can also connect other CH-X series

CD changers (except CH-X99 and CH-X100).However, they are not compatible with MP3discs, so you cannot play back MP3 discs.

• You cannot use the KD-MK series CDchangers with this unit.

Before operating your CD changer:• Refer also to the Instructions supplied with

your CD changer.• If no discs are in the magazine of the CD

changer or the discs are inserted upsidedown, “NO DISC” will appear on the display.If this happens, remove the magazine andset the discs correctly.

• If no magazine is loaded in the CD changer,“NO MAG” appears on the display. If thishappens, insert the magazine in the CDchanger.

• If “RESET 1” – “RESET 8” appears on thedisplay, something is wrong with theconnection between this unit and the CDchanger. If this happens, check theconnection and make sure the cords areconnected firmly. Then, press the resetbutton of the CD changer.

About MP3 discsMP3 “files (tracks)” can be recorded in “folders”—in PC terminology.During recording, the files and folders can bearranged in a way similar to arranging files andfolders of computer data.“Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every fileand folder can be linked to and be accessed fromthe root.

Si el ruido persiste, consulte a su concesionario de JVCde equipos de audio para automóvil.

• La entrada máxima de los altavoces traseros no debe ser másque 50 W en el trasero y 50 W en la frontal, con una impedanciade 4 Ω a 8 Ω.

• Asegúrese de conectar esta unidad a tierra en el chasis delautomóvil.

• El sumidero térmico estará muy caliente después del uso.Asegúrese de no tocarlo al desmontar esta unidad.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONSTo prevent short circuits, we recommend that you disconnect thebattery’s negative terminal and make all electrical connectionsbefore installing the unit. If you are not sure how to install this unitcorrectly, have it installed by a qualified technician.

Note:This unit is designed to operate only on 12 V DC, NEGATIVEground electrical systems. If your vehicle does not have thissystem, a voltage inverter is required, which can be purchased atJVC car audio dealers.

• Replace the fuse with one of the specified rating. If the fuseblows frequently, consult your JVC car audio 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 unit’s rear ground terminal (seeconnection diagram) to the car’s chassis using shorter and thickercords, such as copper braiding or gauge wire. If noise stillpersists, consult your JVC car audio dealer.

• Maximum input of the speakers should be more than 50 W atthe rear and 50 W at the front, with an impedance of 4 Ω to 8 Ω.

• Be sure to ground this unit to the car’s chassis.• The heat sink becomes very hot after use. Be careful not to

touch it when removing this unit.
