What is DAB system?
DAB can deliver CD 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 receiver
can do the following:
•
Tracing the same programme automatically
—Alternative Reception (see “DAB AF” on
page 23).
It is recommended to use DAB (Digital
Audio Broadcasting) tuner KT-DB1000
with your receiver. If you have another
DAB tuner, consult your JVC IN-CAR
ENTERTAINMENT dealer.
• Refer also to the Instructions supplied for
your DAB tuner.

Tuner operations
Storing stations in memory
• During SSM search...
– All previously stored stations are erased and
stations are stored newly.
– 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, a 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, NetworkTracking Reception will not operate.
• If a Traffic Announcement is received,
the volume level (TA VOL) automatically
changes to the preset level.
• If a DAB tuner is connected and Alternative
Reception for DAB services (DAB AF) is
activated, Network-Tracking Reception
(AF-REG) is also activated automatically. On
the other hand, Network-Tracking Reception
cannot be deactivated without deactivating
Alternative Reception. (See page 23.)
