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. For example, the stations
send their station names, as well as information
about what type of programme they broadcast,
such as sports or music, etc.
Another advantage of RDS function is called
“Enhanced Other Networks.” By using the
Enhanced Other Networks data sent from a
station, you can tune in to a different station of a
different network broadcasting your favorite
programme or traffic announcement while
listening to another programme or to another
source such as CD.

By receiving the RDS data, this unit can do the
following:

• Tracing the same programme automatically
(Network-Tracking Reception)

• Standby Reception of TA (Traffic
Announcement) or your favorite programme

• PTY (Programme Type) search

• Programme search

• And some other functions

Tracing the same programme
automatically (Network-Tracking
Reception)

To use Network-Tracking Reception

You can select the different modes of network­tracking reception to continue listening to the
same programme in its finest reception.
When shipped from the factory, “AF” is selected.

• AF: Network-Tracking Reception is
activated with Regionalization set to
“off.”
With this setting, the unit switches to
another station within the same
network when the received signals
from the current station become
weak. (In this mode, the programme
may differ from the one currently
received.)
The AF indicator lights up but the
REG indicator does not.

• AF REG: Network-Tracking Reception is
activated with Regionalization set to
“on.”
With this setting, the unit switches to
another station, within the same
network, broadcasting the same
programme when the received
signals from the current station
become weak.
Both the AF indicator and the REG
indicator light up.

ENGLISH

When driving in an area where FM reception is
not good, the tuner built in this unit automatically
tunes in to another RDS station, broadcasting the
same programme with stronger signals. So, you
can continue to listen to the same programme in
its finest reception, no matter where you drive.
(See the illustration on page 17.)
Two types of the RDS data are used to make
Network-Tracking Reception work correctly
—PI (Programme Identification) and AF
(Alternative Frequency).
Without receiving these data correctly from the
RDS station you are listening to, Network­Tracking Reception will not operate.

• OFF: Network-Tracking Reception is
deactivated.
Neither the AF indicator nor the REG
indicator lights up.

AF and REG indicators

Note:

If a DAB tuner is connected and Alternative Reception
(for DAB services) is activated, Network-Tracking
Reception is also activated (“AF”) automatically. On
the other hand, Network-Tracking Reception cannot
be deactivated without deactivating Alternative
Reception. (See page 42.)

listening to an AM station.

Press TP PTY to activate TA Standby Reception.

7 When the current source is FM, the TP

indicator either lights up or flashes.

• If the TP indicator lights up, TA Standby

display, and this unit automatically tunes in to
the station. The volume changes to the
preset TA volume level (see page 16) and the
traffic announcement can be heard.

• If the TP indicator flashes, TA Standby

Reception is not yet activated since the
station being received does not provide the
signals used for TA Standby Reception.
To activate TA Standby Reception, you need
to tune in to another station providing these
signals. Press ¢ or 4 to search
for such a station.
When a station providing these signals is
tuned in, the TP indicator stops flashing and
remains lit. Now TA Standby Reception is

PTY programme, this unit automatically
tunes in to the station.

• If the PTY indicator flashes, PTY Standby
Reception is not yet activated since the
station being received does not provide the
signals used for PTY Standby Reception.
To activate PTY Standby Reception, you
need to tune in to another station providing
these signals. Press ¢ or 4 to
search for such a station.
When a station providing these signals is
tuned in, the PTY indicator stops flashing
and remains lit. Now PTY Standby Reception
is activated.

7 When the current source is other than FM,

the PTY indicator lights up.
If a station starts broadcasting the selected
PTY programme, this unit automatically
changes the source and tunes in to the station.

MP3 INTRODUCTION

What is MP3?

MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts
Group (or MPEG) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a
file format with a data compression ratio of 1:10

ENGLISH

(128 Kbps*).

* Bit rate is the average number of bits that one

second of audio data will consume. The unit used is
Kbps. To get a better audio quality, choose a higher
bit rate. The most popular bit rate for encoding is
128 Kbps.

• For details information about the MP3
discs, refer to “A Guide to MP3/WMA”
(separate volume).

Compatible with ID3 Tag

Extra information data such as album title,
performer name, song title, recording year, music
genre and a brief comment can be stored within
an MP3 file.

This unit can show both ID3v1 (Version 1) and
ID3v2 (Version 2) tags on the display. (See page

24.)

• Some characters cannot be shown correctly.

• If both ID3v1 and ID3v2 are recorded on a
disc, ID3v2 information will be shown.

How are MP3 files recorded
and played back?

MP3 “files (tracks)” can be recorded in “folders”
—in PC terminology.
During recording, the files and folders can be
arranged in a way similar to arranging files and
folders of computer data.
“Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every file
and folder can be linked to and be accessed from
the root.

The illustration below shows an example of how
MP3 files are recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW,
how they are played back, and how they are
searched for on this unit.

Notes:

• This unit can read a CD-ROM containing MP3
files. However, if non-MP3 files are recorded
together with MP3 files, this unit will take a longer
time to scan the disc. It may also cause the unit to
malfunction.

• This unit cannot read or play an MP3 file without
the extension code <.mp3>.

• This unit is not compatible with MP3 file encoded
with Layer 1 and Layer 2 formats.

• This unit is not compatible with Playlist**.

**A playlist is a simple text file, used on a PC, which

enables users to make their own playback order
without physically rearranging the files.

or in MP3 format.

• You can also connect other CH-X series

CD changers (except CH-X99 and CH-X100).
However, they are not compatible with MP3
discs, so you cannot play back MP3 discs.

• You cannot use the KD-MK series CD

changers with this unit.

Before operating your CD changer:

• Refer also to the Instructions supplied for
your CD changer.

• If no discs are in the magazine of the CD
changer or the discs are inserted upside
down, “NO DISC” will appear on the display.
If this happens, remove the magazine and
set the discs correctly.

• If no magazine is loaded in the CD changer,
“NO MAG” appears on the display. If this
happens, insert the magazine in the CD
changer.

• If “RESET 1” – “RESET 8” appears on the
display, something is wrong with the
connection between this unit and the CD

DAB TUNER OPERATIONS

ENGLISH

We recommend that you use DAB (Digital Audio
Broadcasting) tuner KT-DB1500 or 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.

What is DAB system?

DAB is one of the digital radio broadcasting
systems available today. It can deliver CD
quality sound without any annoying
interference and signal distortion.
Furthermore, it can carry text, pictures, and
data.
In contrast to FM broadcast, where each
programme is transmitted on its own
frequency, 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”).

With the DAB tuner connected with this unit,
you can enjoy these DAB services.

Tuning in to an ensemble and
one of the services

A typical ensemble has 6 or more programmes
(services) broadcast at the same time. After
tuning in to an ensemble, you can select a
service you want to listen to.

Before you start....

Press FM/AM DAB briefly if CD, CD changer, or
external component is the current source.

1

Select the DAB tuner.

Each time you press and
hold the button, the DAB
tuner and the FM/AM tuner
are alternately selected.

FM/AMDAB

2

Select the DAB band (DAB1, DAB2,
or DAB3).

Each time you press the
button, the DAB band
changes as follows:

Note:

When reception switches between DAB and FM, the
listening volume level may increase or decrease
inconveniently. This change in the volume level results
from unequal audio injection levels at broadcaster
site, but not from the malfunction of this unit.
To prevent this inconvenience, you can adjust the DAB
volume level. (See “To adjust the DAB volume level”
on page 42.)

DAB1 DAB2 DAB3

Note:

This receiver has three DAB bands (DAB1,
DAB2, DAB3). You can use any of them to tune
in to an ensemble.

MAINTENANCE

Handling discs

This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs,
CD-Rs (Recordable), CD-RWs (Rewritable), and
CD Texts.

ENGLISH

• This unit is also compatible with MP3 discs.

How to handle discs

When removing a disc
from its case, press down

the center holder of the case
and lift the disc out, holding
it by the edges.

• Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not
touch its recording surface.

When storing a disc into its case, gently insert
the disc around the center holder (with the
printed surface facing up).

• Make sure to store discs into the cases after
use.

To keep discs clean

A dirty disc may not be played
correctly. If a disc does become
dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in a
straight line from center to edge.

To play new discs

New discs may have some rough
spots around the inner and outer
edges. If such a disc is used, this
unit may reject the disc.
To remove these rough spots, rub
the edges with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the
CD player in the following cases:

• After starting the heater in the car.

• If it becomes very humid inside the car.

Should this occur, the CD player may
malfunction. In this case, eject the disc and leave
the unit turned on for a few hours until the
moisture evaporates.

Center holder

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read
their instructions or cautions carefully.

• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played
back on this unit because of their disc
characteristics, and for the following reasons:
– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation on the lens inside the

unit.

– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time
since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than
that of regular CDs.

• CD-Rs or CD-RWs are susceptible to high
temperatures or high humidity, so do not leave
them inside your car.

• Do not use following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:
– Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal

stuck to the surface.

– Discs on which labels can be directly printed

by an ink jet printer.
Using these discs under high temperatures or
high humidity may cause malfunctions or
damage to discs. For example,
– Stickers or labels may shrink and warp a

disc.
– Stickers or labels may be peeled off so discs

cannot be ejected.
– Print on discs may get sticky.
Read instructions or cautions about labels and
printable discs carefully.

CAUTIONS:

• Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CDs) into the
loading slot. (Such discs cannot be ejected.)

• Do not insert any disc of unusual shape—like a
heart or flower; otherwise, it will cause a
malfunction.

• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or any
heat source or place them in a place subject to
high temperature and humidity. Do not leave
them in a car.

• Do not use any solvent (for example,
conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner,
benzine, etc.) to clean discs.

Zum Beispiel in einem Toyota zuerst das Autoradio ausbauen und dann das Gerät an seinem Platz einbauen.

Par exemple dans une Toyota, retirer d’abord l’autoradio et installer l’appareil à la place.

Voorbeeld: Bij een Toyota moet u eerst de autoradio verwijderen en daarna het apparaat installeren.

RACCORDEMENTS ELECTRIQUES

Pour éviter tout court-circuit, nous vous
recommandons de débrancher la borne
négative de la batterie et d’effectuer tous les
raccordements électriques avant d’installer
l’appareil.

• Assurez-vous de raccorder de nouveau la
mise à la masse de cet appareil au châssis
de la voiture après l’installation.

Remarques:

•

Remplacer le fusible par un de la valeur
précisée. Si le fusible saute souvent, consulter
votre revendeur d’autoradios JVC.

•

Il est recommandé de connecter des
enceintes avec une puissance de plus de
50 W (les enceintes arrière et les enceintes
avant, avec une impédance comprise entre

4 Ω et 8 Ω

). Si la puissance maximum est
inférieure à 50 W, changez “AMP GAIN” pour
éviter d’endommager vos enceintes (voir page
32 du MANUEL D’INSTRUCTIONS).

•

Pour éviter les court-circuits, couvrir les
bornes des fils qui ne sont PAS UTILISÉS
avec de la bande isolante.

•

Le dissipateur de chaleur devient très chaud

ELEKTRISCHE ANSCHLÜSSE

Zur Vermeidung von Kurzschlüssen empfehlen
wir, daß Sie den negativen Batterieanschluß
abtrennen und alle elektrischen Anschlüsse
herstellen, bevor das Gerät eingebaut wird.

• Sicherstellen, daß das Gerät nach dem
Einbau a Chassis des Fahrzeugs geerdet
wird.

Hinweise:

• Die Sicherung mit einer der entsprechenden
Nennleistung ersetzen. Brennt die Sicherung
häufig durch, wenden Sie sich an ihren JVC
Autoradiohändler.

• Es wird empfohlen, Lautsprecher mit einer
Maximalleistung von mehr als 50 W
anzuschließen (sowohl hinten als auch vorne,
mit einer Impedanz von 4 Ω bis 8 Ω). Wenn
die Maximalleistung weniger als 50 W beträgt,
stellen Sie „AMP GAIN“ anders ein, um
Schäden an den Lautsprechern zu vermeiden
(siehe Seite 32 der BEDIENUNGSANLEITUNG).

• Zur Vermeidung eines Kurzschlusses die
Anschlußklemmen der NICHT VERWENDETEN
Leitungen mit Isolierklebeband umwickeln.

• Das Abstrahlblech wird nach dem Gebrauch
sehr heiß. Beim Ausbau des Geräts darauf
achten, das Abstrahlblech nicht zu berühren.

ELEKTRISCHE VERBINDINGEN

Om kortsluiting te voorkomen adviseren wij u om de
minpool van de accu los te maken en alle elektrische
verbindingen tot stand te brengen voordat u het
apparaat in de auto installeert.

• Aard dit toestel beslist weer op het chassis
van de auto na het installeren.

Opmerkingen:

• Vervang de zekering door een exemplaar met het
aangegeven vermogen. Als de zekering vaak
doorslaat, moet u uw JVC car audio dealer
raadplegen.

• Sluit bij voorkeur luidsprekers met een hoger
maximaal vermogen dan 50 W (zowel achter als
voor, met een impedantie van 4 Ω t/m 8 Ω) aan.
Indien het maximale vermogen lager dan 50 W is,
moet u “AMP GAIN” in de andere stand stellen
zodat de luidsprekers niet kunnen worden
beschadigd (zie bladzijde 32 van de
GEBRUIKSAANWIJZING).

• Om kortsluiting te voorkomen, moet u de
aansluitklemmen van ONGEBRUIKTE gekleurde
draden met isolatieband bedekken.

• De warmte-opnemer kan na gebruik erg heet
worden. Raak de warmte-opnemer niet aan
wanneer u dit apparaat van zijn plaats haalt.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

To prevent short circuits, we recommend that
you disconnect the battery’s negative terminal
and make all electrical connections before
installing the unit.

• Be sure to ground this unit to the car’s

chassis again after installation.

Notes:

• Replace the fuse with one of the specified
rating. If the fuse blows frequently, consult your
JVC IN-CAR ENTERTAINMENT dealer.

• It is recommended to connect to the speakers
with maximum power of more than 50 W (both
at the rear and at the front, with an impedance
of 4 Ω to 8 Ω). If the maximum power is less
than 50 W, change “AMP GAIN” setting to
prevent the speakers from being damaged
(see page 32 of the INSTRUCTIONS).

• To prevent short-circuit, cover the terminals of
the UNUSED leads with insulating tape.

MP3 INTRODUCTION

What is MP3?

MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts
Group (or MPEG) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a
file format with a data compression ratio of 1:10
(128 Kbps*).

* Bit rate is the average number of bits that one

second of audio data will consume. The unit used is
Kbps. To get a better audio quality, choose a higher
bit rate. The most popular bit rate for encoding is
128 Kbps.

• For details information about the MP3
discs, refer to “A Guide to MP3/WMA”
(separate volume).

Compatible with ID3 Tag

Extra information data such as album title,
performer name, song title, recording year, music
genre and a brief comment can be stored within
an MP3 file.

This unit can show both ID3v1 (Version 1) and
ID3v2 (Version 2) tags on the display. (See page

17.)

• Some characters cannot be shown correctly.

• If both ID3v1 and ID3v2 are recorded on a
disc, ID3v2 information will be shown.

How are MP3 files recorded
and played back?

MP3 “files (tracks)” can be recorded in “folders”
—in PC terminology.
During recording, the files and folders can be
arranged in a way similar to arranging files and
folders of computer data.
“Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every file
and folder can be linked to and be accessed from
the root.

The illustration below shows an example of how
MP3 files are recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW,
how they are played back, and how they are
searched for on this unit.

Notes:

• This unit can read a CD-ROM containing MP3
files. However, if non-MP3 files are recorded
together with MP3 files, this unit will take a longer
time to scan the disc. It may also cause the unit to
malfunction.

• This unit cannot read or play an MP3 file without
the extension code <.mp3>.

• This unit is not compatible with MP3 file encoded
with Layer 1 and Layer 2 formats.

• This unit is not compatible with Playlist**.

**A playlist is a simple text file, used on a PC, which

enables users to make their own playback order
without physically rearranging the files.

MAINTENANCE

Handling discs

This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs,
CD-Rs (Recordable), CD-RWs (Rewritable), and
CD Texts.

ENGLISH

• This unit is also compatible with MP3 discs.

How to handle discs

When removing a disc
from its case, press down

the center holder of the case
and lift the disc out, holding
it by the edges.

• Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not
touch its recording surface.

When storing a disc into its case, gently insert
the disc around the center holder (with the
printed surface facing up).

• Make sure to store discs into the cases after
use.

To keep discs clean

A dirty disc may not be played
correctly. If a disc does become
dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in a
straight line from center to edge.

To play new discs

New discs may have some rough
spots around the inner and outer
edges. If such a disc is used, this
unit may reject the disc.
To remove these rough spots, rub
the edges with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the
CD player in the following cases:

• After starting the heater in the car.

• If it becomes very humid inside the car.

Should this occur, the CD player may
malfunction. In this case, eject the disc and leave
the unit turned on for a few hours until the
moisture evaporates.

Center holder

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read
their instructions or cautions carefully.

• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played
back on this unit because of their disc
characteristics, and for the following reasons:
– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation on the lens inside the

unit.

– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time
since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than
that of regular CDs.

• CD-Rs or CD-RWs are susceptible to high
temperatures or high humidity, so do not leave
them inside your car.

• Do not use following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:
– Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal

stuck to the surface.

– Discs on which labels can be directly printed

by an ink jet printer.
Using these discs under high temperatures or
high humidity may cause malfunctions or
damage to discs. For example,
– Stickers or labels may shrink and warp a

disc.
– Stickers or labels may be peeled off so discs

cannot be ejected.
– Print on discs may get sticky.
Read instructions or cautions about labels and
printable discs carefully.

CAUTIONS:

• Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CDs) into the
loading slot. (Such discs cannot be ejected.)

• Do not insert any disc of unusual shape—like a
heart or flower; otherwise, it will cause a
malfunction.

• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or any
heat source or place them in a place subject to
high temperature and humidity. Do not leave
them in a car.

• Do not use any solvent (for example,
conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner,
benzine, etc.) to clean discs.
