FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Las Vegas, NV (CES, January 7 , 1999)

Las Vegas, NV (CES, January 7 , 1999) JVC Company of AmericaÌs Mobile Entertainment division introducing two new models to its exclusive line of world's smallest 12-disc CD changers. With a host of powerful new technologies like a shock-proof full-floating mechanism, 1-bit DAC and high-precision 3-beam laser pickup, the new CH-X200 and CH-X1200 offer a higher level of overall performance than ever, while versatile mounting capability makes them easy to install virtually anywhere in your vehicle. For added reliability, the top-of-the-line CH-X1200 also features an advanced 12-second shock-proof memory.

Advanced Shock-Proof Design To begin with, the CD mechanism Û which includes a high-fidelity 1-Bit D/A converter and fast access time Û is protected by highly advanced anti-shock technologies. The new Full-Floating Mechanism dramatically reduces the impact of vibrations and shocks with a box-in-box insulation system featuring precisely adjusted Quad IED (injected elastomer dampers) Shock Absorption and supporting springs. While this multi-layered protection system puts an end to shock and vibration problems in almost any driving situation, owners of the CH-X1200 will have added protection in the form of a 12-second shock-proof memory. This advanced memory system stores enough CD sound data to provide smooth, transparent compensation whenever bouncing or vibrations prevent the pickup from reading the sound data.

Angle-Mounting Capability For Flexible Installation With their ultra-thin laser pickups, slimmer magazines, and powerful shock-proofing systems, these world's smallest CD changers provide a much wider range of options when it comes to installation. In addition to horizontal and vertical installation, both models offer angled mounting capability which allows you to mount the unit at an angle in five 22.5 steps. Using the angle control switch, you can optimize the internal mechanism for installation at angles of 0-90, thereby avoiding the problems that may occur with a slant mechanism. Hang mounting is also possible.

J-Link System Simplifies Connections Installation gets even easier if you use a JVC changer in combination with a compatible JVC changer control receiver. Thanks to JVC's new J-Link connection system, you can hook up the changer to the receiver, using a single cable which combines both a power cord and control cable.

CD Text Capability (CH-X1200 only) Another advantage of connecting this changer to a JVC receiver is that you will also enjoy the convenience of CD Text. When loaded with compatible CDs, disc information Û such as the title of the disc and the name of the artist you're listening to Û is displayed on the receiver's panel.

Faster CD Access Time and Improved Magazine Design These new JVC CD changers won't keep you waiting for ever while they change discs. A Linear Sliding Cam, Linear Sensor and Four Comb Fixing device assure fast, reliable access to the music you want to hear. The see-through 12-CD magazine is equipped with convenient features such as Magazine Lock Function that keeps loaded discs from popping out, and Smart Eject that ensures correct magazine ejection regardless of the installation angle.

So if you think installing a CD changer in your car is more trouble than it's worth, think again. Both of these incredibly compact, high performance units are installed easily, sound great, and will keep you happy for hours on end with non-stop music enjoyment.

CH-X200RF 12-Disc CD Changer System (CH-X200 + KS-RF40) Featuring BBE High-Definition Sound, Shockproof Full-Floating Mechanism, and a wireless remote control, this system comes with everything you need to start taking advantage of the benefits of a CD Changer right away Û no matter what type of car audio system you have. The provided KS-RF40 RF modulator lets you receive high-quality CD sound through the tuner you already have.
