  How to clean the connectors
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.
  Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in 
the following cases:
•  After starting the heater in the car.
•  If it becomes very humid inside the car.
Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this 
case, eject the disc and leave the unit turned on for a 
few hours until the moisture has evaporated.
  How to handle discs
When removing a disc from its 
case, press down the center holder of 
the case and lift the disc out, holding 
it by the edges.
•  Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not touch its 
recording surface.
When storing a disc in its case, gently insert the 
disc around the center holder (with the printed surface 
facing up).
•  Make sure to store discs in cases after use.

  To keep discs clean
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 solvents (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 unit may reject 
the disc.
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with a 
pencil or ball-point pen, etc.

This unit is designed to operate on 12 V DC, NEGATIVE ground electrical systems. If your vehicle does 
not have this system, a voltage inverter is required, which can be purchased at JVC car audio dealers.
WARNINGS
To prevent short circuits, we recommend that you disconnect the battery’s negative terminal and make all 
electrical connections before installing the unit.
•  Be sure to ground this unit to the car’s chassis again after installation.
Notes:
•  Replace the fuse with one of the specified rating. If the fuse blows frequently, consult your JVC car audio 
dealer.
•  It is recommended to connect speakers with a maximum power of more than 50 W (both at the rear and 
at the front, with an impedance of 4 Ω to 8 Ω). If the maximum power is less than 50 W, change “AMP 
GAIN” setting to prevent the speakers from being damaged (see page 21 of the INSTRUCTIONS).
•  To prevent short circuits, cover the terminals of the UNUSED leads with insulating tape.
•  The heat sink becomes very hot after use. Be careful not to touch it when removing this unit.
