This document describes the JVC KD-SV3204 VCD/CD Receiver, a car audio system designed for playing various digital media formats and radio.
The JVC KD-SV3204 is a versatile car audio receiver capable of playing VCDs, CDs, WMA, and MP3 files. It also features an AM/FM tuner for radio reception. The unit is equipped with a detachable faceplate for security and includes a remote control for convenient operation. It supports external components like CD changers and iPod/D. players, expanding its media playback capabilities. The receiver offers sound adjustment features, including a graphic equalizer with preset modes (USER, ROCK, CLASSIC, POPS, HIP HOP, JAZZ) and loudness control, allowing users to customize the audio output to their preference. It also includes a PSM (Preferred Setting Mode) for saving and recalling various system settings, such as display demonstration, clock adjustment, dimmer, telephone muting, scroll behavior, tag display, amplifier gain control, and video system settings.
The receiver's operation is primarily managed through its control panel and a remote controller (RM-RK120). The control panel includes buttons for power on/off, source selection (CD, VCD, AM/FM, external inputs), band selection, play/pause, fast-forward/rewind, track/folder selection, display mode, sound adjustments (loudness, equalizer), and number buttons for direct track/preset selection. The volume is adjusted using a rotary knob.
For radio operation, users can manually tune or search for stations. The unit supports storing up to six stations in memory for each band (FM1, FM2, FM3, AM). The "SSM" (Strong-station Sequential Memory) feature allows for automatic storage of the strongest local FM stations.
When playing discs, the unit supports various playback modes, including normal playback, random play (FLDR RND for folders, DISC RND for discs, MAG RND for all tracks in the magazine), and repeat play (ONE RPT for current track, ALL RPT for all tracks, RPT OFF to cancel). For VCDs with Playback Control (PBC), users can navigate through menus and select items using the number buttons. The On-Screen Display (OSD) provides information like current track number and elapsed playing time.
For MP3/WMA playback, the receiver displays artist name, song title, album name, and folder name (if available from ID3 tags). Users can select folders and tracks, and the unit supports various playback modes like random and repeat.
The receiver can be connected to an iPod or a D. player via an interface adapter (KS-PD100 for iPod, KS-PD500 for D. player). This allows for playback of audio from these devices, with controls available through the receiver's control panel or remote. Users can select tracks, albums, artists, genres, and composers from the connected device.
The manual provides instructions for installing the lithium coin battery (CR2025) in the remote controller. It also offers guidance on how to clean the connectors to prevent frequent detachment. For moisture condensation inside the VCD/CD player, which can occur in humid conditions, the manual advises ejecting the disc and leaving the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates.
Regarding disc handling, it recommends holding discs by the edges and storing them in cases to prevent damage. For cleaning discs, a soft cloth moistened with alcohol is suggested, avoiding solvents like benzine or thinner. The manual also warns against using non-DVD side of a DualDisc or discs with rough spots or labels, as these may cause playback issues or damage the unit.
The troubleshooting section provides a comprehensive list of symptoms and their corresponding remedies/causes for various issues related to general operation, FM/AM radio, disc playback, MP3/WMA playback, CD changer, and iPod/D. player playback. This includes advice on checking connections, resetting the unit, updating firmware, changing batteries, and proper disc handling. For example, if "NO DISC" appears, the user should insert a disc. If the sound is distorted, deactivating the equalizer on the unit or the iPod/D. player is suggested.
