1. This design of this product contains special hardware and many circuits and components specially for safety
purposes. For continued protection, no changes should be made to the original design unless authorized in
writing by the manufacturer. Replacement parts must be identical to those used in the original circuits. Services
should be performed by qualified personnel only.
2. Alterations of the design or circuitry of the product should not be made. Any design alterations of the product
should not be made. Any design alterations or additions will void the manufacturer`s warranty and will further
relieve the manufacture of responsibility for personal injury or property damage resulting therefrom.
3. Many electrical and mechanical parts in the products have special safety-related characteristics. These
characteristics are often not evident from visual inspection nor can the protection afforded by them necessarily
be obtained by using replacement components rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc. Replacement parts which
have these special safety characteristics are identified in the Parts List of Service Manual. Electrical
components having such features are identified by shading on the schematics and by (
) on the Parts List in
the Service Manual. The use of a substitute replacement which does not have the same safety characteristics
as the recommended replacement parts shown in the Parts List of Service Manual may create shock, fire, or
other hazards.
4. The leads in the products are routed and dressed with ties, clamps, tubings, barriers and the like to be
separated from live parts, high temperature parts, moving parts and/or sharp edges for the prevention of
electric shock and fire hazard. When service is required, the original lead routing and dress should be
observed, and it should be confirmed that they have been returned to normal, after re-assembling.
5. Leakage currnet check (Electrical shock hazard testing)
After re-assembling the product, always perform an isolation check on the exposed metal parts of the product
(antenna terminals, knobs, metal cabinet, screw heads, headphone jack, control shafts, etc.) to be sure the
product is safe to operate without danger of electrical shock.
Do not use a line isolation transformer during this check.
Plug the AC line cord directly into the AC outlet. Using a "Leakage Current Tester", measure the leakage
current from each exposed metal parts of the cabinet, particularly any exposed metal part having a return
path to the chassis, to a known good earth ground. Any leakage current must not exceed 0.5mA AC (r.m.s.).
Alternate check method
Plug the AC line cord directly into the AC outlet. Use an AC voltmeter having, 1,000 ohms per volt or more
sensitivity in the following manner. Connect a 1,500
10W resistor paralleled by a 0.15 F AC-type capacitor
between an exposed metal part and a known good earth ground.
Measure the AC voltage across the resistor with the AC
voltmeter.
Move the resistor connection to eachexposed metal part,
particularly any exposed metal part having a return path to
the chassis, and meausre the AC voltage across the resistor.
Now, reverse the plug in the AC outlet and repeat each
measurement. Voltage measured any must not exceed 0.75 V
AC (r.m.s.). This corresponds to 0.5 mA AC (r.m.s.).
1. This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards.
2. It is the legal responsibility of the repairer to ensure that these safety standards are maintained.
3. Repairs must be made in accordance with the relevant safety standards.
4. It is essential that safety critical components are replaced by approved parts.
5. If mains voltage selector is provided, check setting for local voltage.

Burrs formed during molding may
be left over on some parts of the
chassis. Therefore, pay attention to
such burrs in the case of
preforming repair of this system.
In regard with component parts appearing on the silk-screen printed side (parts side) of the PWB diagrams, the
parts that are printed over with black such as the resistor (
), diode (
) and ICP (
) or identified by the " "
mark nearby are critical for safety.
When replacing them, be sure to use the parts of the same type and rating as specified by the manufacturer.
(Except the J and C version)

Troubleshooting
A PC that has the exclusive application software (JVC Media Manager V2)installed. Be sure to check for
normal operation of the PC. If other application software is installed in the PC, be sure that this software
does not affect the operation of the JVC Media Manager V2.
When a user's product is taken in for service, be sure to obtain not only the player but also the user's SD
card and USB reader/writer. Also, try to obtain as possible on the operational environment of the user's PC.
<PC's operational environment>
Product name, model number, name of CPU, operation clock, RAM capacity, HD capacity, names of
installed software, use of USB hub, and any equipment connected with USB simultaneously.
Checkpoints before servicing
Is the write-protect switch on the SD card set to LOCK?
Does the battery have enough capacity?
Be aware that manganese batteries do not have sufficient capacitor; their use can result in improper
operation.
Precautions
A PC sometimes does not recognize the USB reader/writer depending on its conditions (such as competing
with the installed software). Therefore, always keep the PC in good condition so that any adaptor can be
connected properly.
There is a possibility that not only the hardware but also software (PC's application software) may be the
source of the problem. Therefore, be sure to inspect all potential sources carefully and thoroughly before
specifying any causes.
Check the connection part of the card to see whether it is dirty or has any foreign objects attached to it
before specifying the cause of the problem.
If the card is formatted, the written data (signals) will be erased and cannot be recovered
When you format the card, be sure to format it with the format function of JVC Media Manager V2.
If the card is formatted with Windows or MS-DOS, the card will not operate with JVC Media Manager V2.
