not have this system, a voltage inverter is required, which can be purchased at JVC car audio dealers.
WARNINGS
To prevent accidents and damage:
• DO NOT install any unit in locations where;
– it may obstruct the steering wheel and gearshift lever operations.
– it may obstruct the operation of safety devices such as air bags.
– it may obstruct visibility.
• DO NOT operate the unit while driving.
• If you need to operate the unit while driving, be sure to look ahead carefully.
• The driver must not watch the monitor while driving.
If the parking brake is not engaged, “DRIVER MUST NOT WATCH THE MONITOR WHILE
DRIVING.” appears on the monitor, and no playback picture will be shown.
– This warning appears only when the parking brake wire is connected to the parking brake
system built in the car.
PRECAUTIONS on power supply and speaker connections:
• DO NOT connect the speaker leads of the power cord to the car battery; otherwise, the
unit will be seriously damaged.
• BEFORE connecting the speaker leads of the power cord to the speakers, check the speaker wiring in
your car.
About sounds reproduced through the rear terminals
• Through the analog terminals (Speaker out/LINE OUT):
2-channel signal is emitted.
When playing a multi-channel encoded disc, multi-channel signals are downmixed. (AUDIO—
DOWN MIX: see page 22 of the INSTRUCTIONS.)
• Through DIGITAL OUT (optical):
Digital signals (Linear PCM, Dolby Digital
*
1
, DTS
*
2
, MPEG Audio) are emitted through this
terminal. (For more details, see page 28 of the INSTRUCTIONS.)
To reproduce multi-channel sounds such as Dolby Digital and DTS, connect an amplifier or a

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
Ω
to 8
Ω
). If the maximum power is less than
50 W, change “AMP GAIN” setting to prevent the speakers from being damaged (see page 21 of the
INSTRUCTIONS).
• To prevent short-circuit, cover the terminals of the UNUSED leads with insulating tape.
