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.
For tracing the same programme automatically
(Alternative Frequency Reception), it is required to
connect the DAB tuner (KT-DB1000) to the CD changer
jack on the rear of this unit.
• See also “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.

Maintenance
How to clean the connectors
Frequent detachment will deteriorate the connectors.
To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe the
ENGLISH
connectors with a cotton swab or cloth moistened with
alcohol, being careful not to damage the connectors.
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 has evaporated.
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 in its case, gently insert the
disc around the center holder (with the printed surface
facing up).
• Make sure to store discs in cases after use.
Center holder
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 solvents (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.
Do not use the following discs:
Single CD (8 cm disc)
Sticker and sticker residue
Unusual shape
Warped disc
Stick-on label

More about this unit
• If you want to know more about RDS, visit
<http://www.rds.org.uk>.
Basic operations
Turning on the power
• By pressing SOURCE on the unit, you can also turn on
the power. If the source is ready, playback also starts.
Turning off the power
• If you turn off the power while listening to a disc,
disc play will start from where it had been stopped
previously next time you turn on the power.
Tuner operations
Storing stations in memory
• During SSM search...
– All previously stored stations are erased and the
stations are stored anew.
– Received stations are preset in No. 1 (lowest
frequency) to No. 6 (highest frequency).
– When SSM is over, the station stored in No. 1 will
be automatically tuned in.
• When storing a station manually, the previously
preset station is erased when a new station is stored
in the same preset number.
FM RDS operations
• Network-Tracking Reception requires two types of
RDS signals—PI (Programme Identification) and AF
(Alternative Frequency) to work correctly. Without
receiving these data correctly, Network-Tracking
Reception will not operate correctly.
• If a Traffic Announcement is received by TA Standby
Reception, the volume level automatically changes to
the preset level (TA VOL) if the current level is lower
than the preset level.
• When Alternative Frequency Reception is activated
(with AF selected), Network-Tracking Reception is
also activated automatically. On the other hand,
Network-Tracking Reception cannot be deactivated
without deactivating Alternative Frequency
Reception. (See pages 14 and 15.)
Disc operations
Caution for DualDisc playback
• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply
with the “Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard.

used interchangeably) are recorded in “folders.”
• While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3 or
WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent sounds.
• When a disc is inserted upside down, “PLEASE” and
“EJECT” appear alternately on the display. Press
OPEN, then 0 to eject the disc.
Playing a CD-R or CD-RW
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.
• This unit can only play back files of the same type as
those which are detected first if a disc includes both
audio CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/WMA files.
• This unit can play back multi-session discs; however,
unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on
this unit because of their disc characteristics, or for
the following reasons:
– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation has occurred on the lens
inside the unit.
– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.
– The files on the CD-R/CD-RW are written using the
“Packet Write” method.
– There are improper recording conditions (missing
data, etc.) or media conditions (stained, scratched,
warped, etc.).
