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.

Your preset adjustments--such as preset channels or sound adjustments--will also be erased.
How to use the M (MODE) button
If you press M (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
5/ buttons will also work as
+10/­10 buttons after pressing M (MODE).
Ex.: When number button 2 works as MO (monaural) button.
To use these buttons for original functions again after pressing M (MODE), wait for 5 seconds
without pressing any of these buttons until the functions mode is cleared.
· Pressing M (MODE) again also clears the functions mode.
