Warning:

If you need to operate the unit while driving, be sure to look ahead carefully or you may be involved in a traffic accident.

Note: Only for [EX] model users in UK and European countries For security reasons, a numbered ID card is provided with this unit, and the same ID number is imprinted on the unit’s chassis. Keep the card in a safe place, as it will help the authorities to identify your unit if stolen.

For safety...

• Do not raise the volume level too much, as this will block outside sounds, making driving dangerous.

• Stop the car before performing any complicated operations.

FM RDS operations

What you can do with RDS

RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular programme signals. By receiving the RDS data, this unit can do the following:

• Programme Type (PTY) Search (see the following)

• TA (Traffic Announcement) and PTY Standby Receptions (see pages 8 and 14)

• Tracing the same programme automatically —Network-Tracking Reception (see page 9)

• Programme Search (see page 14)

Using the standby receptions

TA Standby Reception

TA Standby Reception allows the unit to switch temporarily to Traffic Announcement (TA) from any source other than AM. The volume changes to the preset TA volume level if the current level is lower than the preset level (see page 14).

To activate TA Standby Reception

The TP (Traffic Programme)

indicator either lights up or flashes.

Storing your favorite programme

2 Select the preset number (1 – 6) you

want to store into.

Ex.: When “ROCK M” is selected

3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 to store other

PTY codes into other preset numbers.

4 Finish the procedure.

• If the TP indicator lights up, TA Standby Reception is activated.

• If the TP indicator flashes, TA Standby Reception is not yet activated. (This occurs when you are listening to an FM station without the RDS signals required for TA Standby Reception.)

To activate TA Standby Reception, tune in to

another station providing these signals. The TP indicator will stop flashing and remain lit.

To deactivate the TA Standby Reception

The TP indicator goes off.

PTY Standby Reception

PTY Standby Reception allows the unit to switch temporarily to your favorite PTY programme from any source other than AM.

To activate and select your favorite PTY code for PTY Standby Reception, see page 14.

• If the PTY indicator lights up, PTY Standby Reception is activated.

• If the PTY indicator flashes, PTY Standby Reception is not yet activated.

To activate PTY Standby Reception, tune in

to another station providing these signals. The PTY indicator will stop flashing and remain lit.

To deactivate the PTY Standby Reception, select “OFF” for the PTY code (see page 14). The PTY indicator goes off.

Tracing the same programme—

Network-Tracking Reception

When driving in an area where FM reception is not sufficient enough, this unit automatically tunes in to another FM RDS station of the same network, possibly broadcasting the same programme with stronger signals (see the illustration below).

When shipped from the factory, NetworkTracking Reception is activated.

To change the Network-Tracking Reception setting, see “AF-REG” on page 14.

DAB tuner operations

What is DAB system?

Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) can deliver digital quality sound without any annoying

ENGLISH

interference and signal distortion. Furthermore, it can carry text, pictures, and data. When transmitting, DAB combines several programmes (called “services”) to form one “ensemble.” In addition, each “service”—called “primary service”—can also be divided into its components (called “secondary service”). A typical ensemble has six or more programmes (services) broadcast at the same time. By connecting the DAB tuner, this unit can do the following:

• Tracing the same programme automatically —Alternative Frequency Reception (see “DAB AF” on page 15).

It is recommended to use DAB tuner KT-DB1000 with your unit. If you have another DAB tuner, consult your JVC IN-CAR ENTERTAINMENT dealer.

• Refer also to the Instructions supplied for your DAB tuner.

⁄ Select a service (either primary or

secondary) to listen to.

To tune in to an ensemble manually

Start searching for an ensemble, as in step ! on the left column.

2 Select the desired ensemble frequencies.

Storing DAB services in memory

You can preset six DAB services (primary) for each band.

! Start searching for an ensemble.

When an ensemble is received, searching stops. To stop searching, press the same button again.

1 Select a service you want (see steps ~

to ⁄ on the left column).

2 Select the preset number (1 – 6) you

want to store into.

Alternative Frequency Reception

You can keep listening to the same programme by activating the Alternative Frequency Reception.

• While receiving a DAB service: When driving in an area where a service

cannot be received, this unit automatically tunes in to another ensemble or FM RDS station, broadcasting the same programme.

• While receiving an FM RDS station: When driving in an area where a DAB service

is broadcasting the same programme as the FM RDS station is broadcasting, this unit automatically tunes in to the DAB service.

This unit is ready for operating an Apple iPod or a JVC D. player from the control panel.

Before operating your iPod or D. player: Connect either one of the following (separately purchased) to the CD changer jack on the rear of this unit.

• Interface adapter for iPod controlling an iPod.

• D. player interface adapter—KS-PD500 for controlling a D. player.
