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 9 and 15)

• Tracing the same programme automatically —Network-Tracking Reception (see page 10)

• Programme Search (see pages 10 and 15)

Searching for your favorite FM RDS programme

You can tune in to a station broadcasting your favorite programme by searching for a PTY code.

• To store your favorite programme types, see pae 9.

~ The last selected PTY code

appears.

Ÿ Select one of your favorite programme

types.

Select one of the PTY codes (see page 10).

ENGLISH

! Start searching for your favorite

programme.

If there is a station broadcasting a programme of the same PTY code as you have selected, that station is tuned in.

Storing your favorite programme

types

You can store six favorite programme types.

Preset programme types in the number buttons (1 to 6):

1 Select a PTY code (see steps ~ to ! on

pages 8 and 9).

2 Select the preset number (1 – 6) you want to

store into.

3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 to store other PTY

codes into other preset numbers.

4 Finish the procedure.

Ex.: When “ROCK M” is selected

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 15).

To activate TA Standby Reception

The TP (Traffic Programme) indicator

either lights up or flashes.

• 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 15.

The PTY indicator either lights up or flashes.

• 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.

DAB tuner operations

What is DAB system?

Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) can deliver digital quality sound without any annoying 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 16).

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.

! Start searching for an ensemble.

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

⁄ Select a service (either primary or

secondary) to listen to.

Continued on the next page

ENGLISH

To tune in to an ensemble manually

Start searching for an ensemble, as in step ! on page 17...

2 Select a desired ensemble frequency.

Storing DAB services in memory

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

1 Select a service you want (see steps ~ to ⁄

on page 17).

2 Select the preset number (1 – 6) you want to

store into.

Tuning in to a preset DAB service

2 Select the preset DAB service (primary)

number (1 – 6) you want.

If the selected primary service has some secondary services, pressing the same button again will tune in to the secondary services.

Tracing the same programme — 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.

When shipped from the factory, Alternative Frequency Reception is activated.

To deactivate the Alternative Frequency Reception, see page 16.

To keep discs clean

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

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

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.

Maintenance

How to clean the connectors

Frequent detachment will deteriorate the connectors. To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe the connectors with a cotton swab or cloth moistened with alcohol, being careful not to damage the connectors.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in the following cases:

• After starting the heater in the car.

• If it becomes very humid inside the car. Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this case, eject the disc and leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates.

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).
