Information for using a car audio service jig (1) We're advancing efforts to make our extension cords common for all car audio products. Please use this type of extension cord as follows. (2) As a U-shape type top cover is employed, this type of extension cord is needed to check operation of the mechanism assembly after disassembly. (3) Extension cord : EXTKSRT002-6P ( 6 pin extension cord ) For connection between mechanism assembly3. Extension cord : EXTKSRT002-6P ( 6 pin extension cord ) For connection between mechanism assembly and main board. (4) Check for mechanism driving section such as motor ,etc. Disassembly method (1) Remove the front panel assembly. (2) Remove the bottom cover. (3) Remove the front chassis assembly. (4) Remove the heat sink. (5) Remove the main board. (6) Reattach the heat sink with the screw B. (Refer to Disassembly method.) (7) Reattach the front panel assembly. (8) Confirm that current is being carried by connecting an extension cord jig. NOTE: Available to connect to the CJ701 connector when installing the front panel. CAUTION : Be sure to attach the heat sink on the power amplifier IC of a main board when supplying the power. If voltage is applied without attaching the heat sink, the power amplifier IC will be destroyed by heat.

1. Load the SCC-1659 mirror tape. Adjust with height adjustment screw A and azimuth Head shield adjustment screw B so that line A of the The head is at low position mirror tape runs in the center between Lch during. and Rch in the reverse play mode. 2. After switching from REV to FWD then to REV, check that the head position set in procedure 1 is not changed. (If the position has shifted, adjust again and check.) 3. Adjust with azimuth adjustment screw B so that line B of the mirror tape runs in the center between Lch and Rch in the forward play mode. Test tape: VT724 (1kHz) VT703 (10kHz) VT721 (315Hz) Head azimuth adjustment 1. Load VT724 (1kHz) and play it back in the reverse play mode. Set the Rch output level to max. 2. Load VT703 (10kHz) and play it back in the forward play mode. Adjust the Rch and Lch output levels to max, with azimuth adjustment screw B. In this case, the phase difference should be within 45 . 3. Engage the reverse mode and adjust the output level to max, with azimuth adjustment screw C. (The phase difference should be 45 or more.) (0 ) 4. When switching between forward and reverse modes, the difference between channels should be within 3dB. (Between FWD L and R, REV L and R.) 5. When VT721 (315Hz) is played back, the level difference between channels should be within 1.5dB. 2. Tape speed Test tape: VT712 and wow (3kHz) flutter confirmation 1.

When an FM stereo broadcast is hard to receive:

Local FM stations with the strongest signals are searched and stored automatically in the band number you have selected (FM1, FM2, or FM3). These stations are preset in the number buttons --No.1 (lowest frequency) to No.6 (highest frequency). When automatic preset is over, the station stored in number button 1 will be automatically tuned in.

Notes: · A previously preset station is erased when a new station is stored in the same preset number. · Preset stations are erased when the power supply to the memory circuit is interrupted (for example, during battery replacement). If this occurs, preset the stations again.

2

Tune in to a station (in this example, of 92.5 MHz).

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
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. · Maximum input of the speakers should be more than 45 W at the rear and 45 W at the front, with an impedance of 4 to 8 . · To prevent short-circuit, cover the terminals of the UNUSED leads with insulating tape. · The heat sink becomes very hot after use. Be careful not to touch it when removing this unit.
