Tracing the same programme—Network-Tracking Reception
When driving in an area where FM reception is not sufficient enough, this unit automatically tunes in to another FM Radio Data System station of the same network, possibly broadcasting the same programme with stronger signals.
Programme A broadcasting on different frequency areas (01 - 05)

To change the Network-Tracking Reception setting, see "Menu operations: <AF-REG)." (14)
Automatic station selection Programme Search
Usually when you select a preset number, the station preset in that number is tuned in. If the signals from the FM Radio Data System preset station are not sufficient for good reception, this unit, using the AF data, tunes in to another frequency possibly broadcasting the same programme as the original preset station is broadcasting.

General
- This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/CD-RWs (Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA), MP3 and WMA formats.
- If you change the source while listening to a disc, playback stops. Next time you select "CD" as the playback source, playback will start from where it had been stopped previously.
- When a disc is inserted upside down, "PLEASE" and "EJECT" appear alternately on the display. Press to eject the disc.
- If the ejected disc is not removed within 15 seconds, it is automatically inserted into the loading slot again to protect it from dust.
- MP3 and WMA "tracks" (words "file" and "track" are used interchangeably) are recorded in "Folders."
- While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3 or WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent sounds.
Playing a CD-R or CD-RW
- Use only "finalized" CD-Rs or CD-RWs.
- This unit can only play back files of the same type as those detected first if a disc includes both audio CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/WMA files.

-
Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:
-
Discs with stickers, labels, or a protective seal stuck to the surface.
-Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an ink jet printer.

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.

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.

Center holder
- 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.
Do not use the following discs:
| Single CD (8 cm disc) | Warped disc |
| Sticker and sticker residue | Stick-on label |
| Unusual shape | C-thru Disc (semitransparent disc) |
| Transparent or semitransparent parts on its recording area |
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Remedy/Cause | |
| General | Sound cannot be heard from the speakers. | ·Adjust the volume to the optimum level. ·Make sure the unit is not muted/paused (☐ 5). ·Check the cords and connections. |
| "PROTECT" appears on the display and no operations can be done. | Check to be sure the terminals of the speaker leads are covered with insulating tape properly, then reset the unit (☐ 3). If "PROTECT" does not disappear, consult your JVC IN-CAR ENTERTAINMENT dealer or a company supplying kits. | |
| The unit does not work at all. | Reset the unit. (☐ 3) | |
| "AUX" cannot be selected. | Check the <SRC SELECT> → <AUX IN> setting. (☐ 16) | |
| FM/AM | SSM automatic presetting does not work. | Store stations manually. |
| Static noise while listening to the radio. | Connect the aerial firmly. | |
| "AM" cannot be selected. | Check the <SRC SELECT> → <AM> setting. (☐ 16) | |
| Disc playback | Disc cannot be played back. | Insert the disc correctly. |
| ·CD-R/CD-RW cannot be played back. ·Tracks on the CD-R/CD-RW cannot be skipped. | ·Insert a finalized CD-R/CD-RW. ·Finalize the CD-R/CD-RW with the component which you used for recording. | |
| Disc can neither be played back nor ejected. | ·Unlock the disc. (☐ 8) ·Eject the disc forcibly. (☐ 3) | |
| Disc sound is sometimes interrupted. | ·Stop playback while driving on rough roads. ·Change the disc. ·Check the cords and connections. | |
| "NO DISC" appears on the display. | Insert a playable disc into the loading slot. | |
| "PLEASE" and "EJECT" appear alternately on the display. | Press ▲, then insert a disc correctly. | |
| MP3/WMA playback | Disc cannot be played back. | ·Use a disc with MP3/WMA tracks recorded in a format compliant with ISO 9660 Level 1, Level 2, Romeo, or Joliet. ·Add the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> to the file names. |
| Noise is generated. | Skip to another track or change the disc. (Do not add the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> to non-MP3 or WMA tracks.) | |
| A longer readout time is required ("READING" keeps flashing on the display). | Do not use too many hierarchical levels and folders. | |
| Tracks do not play back in the order you have intended them to play. | The playback order is determined when the files are recorded. | |
| For KD-R412/KD-R411/KD-R35: "NO FILE" appears on the display. | Selected folder is an empty folder *. Select another folder that contains MP3/WMA tracks. *Folder that is physically empty or folder that contains data but does not contain valid MP3/WMA track. | |
| "NOT SUPPORT" appears on the display and track skips. | Skip to the next track encoded in an appropriate format or to the next non-copy-protected WMA track. | |
| The elapsed playing time is not correct. | This sometimes occurs during playback. This is caused by how the tracks are recorded on the disc. | |
| The correct characters are not displayed (e.g. album name). | This unit can only display letters (upper case), numbers, and a limited number of symbols. | |
| USB device playback (for KD-R412/KD-R411/KD-R35) | Noise is generated. | The track played back is not an MP3/WMA track. Skip to another file. (Do not add the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> to non-MP3 or WMA tracks.) |
| "READING" keeps flashing on the display. | • Readout time varies depending on the USB device. • Do not use too many hierarchy or folders. • Turn off the power then on again. • Reattach the USB device again. | |
| "NO FILE" appears on the display. | Selected folder is an empty folder*. Select another folder that contains MP3/WMA tracks. * Folder that is physically empty or folder that contains data but does not contain valid MP3/WMA track. | |
| "NOT SUPPORT" appears on the display and track skips. | Skip to the next track encoded in an appropriate format or to the next non-copy-protected WMA track. | |
| Tracks/folders are not played back in the order you have intended. | The playback order is determined by the write-in time stamp. The first track/folder written into the USB device will be the first track/folder for playback. | |
| "CANNOT PLAY" flashes on the display. "NO USB" appears on the display. The unit cannot detect the USB device. | • Attach a USB device that contains tracks encoded in an appropriate format. • Reattach the USB device again. | |
| The correct characters are not displayed (e.g. album name). | This unit can only display letters (upper case), numbers, and a limited number of symbols. | |
| While playing a track, sound is sometimes interrupted. | The MP3/WMA tracks have not been properly copied into the USB device. Copy MP3/WMA tracks again into the USB device, and try again. | |
JVC bears no responsibility for any loss of the data in the USB mass storage class device while using this System.
