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 17).

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.

More about this unit

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.

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.

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), NetworkTracking Reception is also activated

automatically. On the other hand, NetworkTracking Reception cannot be deactivated without deactivating Alternative Frequency Reception. (See page 16.)

–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.

•Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:

–Discs with stickers, labels, or a 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 humidities may cause malfunctions or damage to the unit.
