Warning  
INFORMATION (For U.S.A.)  
• 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.  
If you need to operate the unit while driving, be sure to  
look ahead carefully or you may be involved in a traffic  
accident.  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of  
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential  
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used  
in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no  
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference  
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to  
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:  
Caution on volume setting  
Temperature inside the car...  
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.  
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.  
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.  
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

PREPARATION  
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.  
TROUBLESHOOTING  
The fuse blows.  
* Are the red and black leads connected correctly?  
Power cannot be turned on.  
* Is the yellow lead connected?  
Notes:  
Prepare this before installation  
• Replace the fuse with one of the specified rating. If the fuse blows frequently,  
consult your JVC car audio dealer.  
No sound from the speakers.  
* Is the speaker output lead short-circuited?  
• It is recommended to connect to the speakers with maximum power of more  
than 50 W (both at the rear and at the front, with an impedance of 4 to  
8 Ω). If the maximum power is less than 50 W, change “AMP GAIN” setting to  
prevent the speakers from being damaged (see “General settings—PSM”).  
• To prevent short-circuit, cover the terminals of the UNUSED leads with  
insulating tape.  
Sound is distorted.  
* Is the speaker output lead grounded?  
* Are the “–” terminals of L and R speakers grounded in common?  
Noise interfere with sounds.  
* Is the rear ground terminal connected to the car’s chassis using shorter and  
thicker cords?  
• The heat sink becomes very hot after use. Be  
careful not to touch it when removing this unit.
