How to reset your unit
After detaching the control panel, press the
reset button on the panel holder using a ball-
point pen or a similar tool.
This will reset the built-in microcomputer.
Note:
Your preset adjustments — such as preset channels
or sound adjustments — will also be erased.
BEFORE USE
*
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 use the MODE buttons
If you press MODE, the unit goes into functions mode, then the number buttons work as different
function buttons.
When connecting a JVC MP3-compatible CD changer. The 8/9 button will also work as +10/-10
buttons after pressing MODE.
Ex.: When number button 2 works as MO (monaural) button.
To use these buttons for original functions again after pressing MODE, wait for 5 seconds without
pressing any of these buttons untill the functions mode is cleared (“MODE” disappears from the display.
Pressing MODE again also clears the functions mode.
MO (monaural)
indicator lights up.
