JVCThis section is only for KS-FX222.
We recommend that you use one of the CH-X series with your unit (except for JVC MP3-compatible CD changer).
If you have another CD changer, consult your JVC IN-CAR ENTERTAINMENT dealer for connections.
- For example, if your CD changer is one of the KD-MK series, you need a cord (KS-U15K) for connecting it to this unit.
Before operating your CD automatic 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 upside down, "NO CD" will appear on the display. If this happens, remove the magazine and set the discs correctly.
- If no magazine is loaded in the CD changer, "NO MAG" appears on the display. If this happens, insert the magazine in the CD changer.
- If "RESET 1" – "RESET 8" appears on the display, something is wrong with the connection between this unit and the CD changer. If this happens, check the connection and make sure the cords are connected firmly. Then, press the reset button of the CD changer.
Playing CDs
