DAB tuner operations

What is DAB system?

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

ENGLISH

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.

To tune in to an ensemble manually

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

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 the left column).

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

store into.

! 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.

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.

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).

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

Basic operations

Turning on the power

• By pressing SRC 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 playback has 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

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, 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 page 16.)

• 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 occurs on the lens inside

the unit. – The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty. – CD-R/CD-RW on which the files are written with

“Packet Write” method. – There are improper recording conditions (missing

data, etc.) or media conditions (stained, scratched,

warped, etc.).

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the

reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular CDs.
