Warning 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: ­ 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. Caution on volume setting 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. 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. Caution Changes or modifications not approved by JVC could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. MAINTENANCE How to clean the connectors Wipe the connectors with a cotton swab or cloth moistened with alcohol. Connector To keep discs clean Wipe in a straight line from center of disc to edge. Do not use liquid cleaners, thinners, or benzene. IMPORTANT FOR LASER PRODUCTS 1. CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT 2. CAUTION: Do not open the top cover.

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 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 ). 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. · The heat sink becomes very hot after use.
