RDS OPERATIONS

What you can do with RDS

RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular

ENGLISH

programme signals. For example, the stations send their station names, as well as information about what type of programme they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc. Another advantage of RDS function is called “Enhanced Other Networks.” By using the Enhanced Other Networks data sent from a station, you can tune in to a different station of a different network broadcasting your favourite programme or traffic announcement while listening to another programme or to another source such as CD.

By receiving the RDS data, this unit can do the following:

• Tracing the same programme automatically (Network-Tracking Reception)

• Standby Reception of TA (Traffic Announcement) or your favourite programme

• PTY (Programme Type) search

• Programme search

• And some other functions

Tracing the same programme automatically (Network-Tracking Reception)

When driving in an area where FM reception is not good, the tuner built in this unit automatically tunes in to another RDS station, broadcasting the same programme with stronger signals. So, you can continue to listen to the same programme in its finest reception, no matter where you drive. Two types of the RDS data are used to make Network-Tracking Reception work correctly— PI (Programme Identification) and AF (Alternative Frequency). Without receiving these data correctly from the RDS station you are listening to, NetworkTracking Reception will not operate.

The same programme can be received on different frequencies.

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency A

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency B

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency C

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency E

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency D

To use Network-Tracking Reception

You can select the different modes of networktracking reception to continue listening to the same programme in its finest reception. When shipped from the factory, “AF” is selected.

• AF: Network-Tracking Reception is activated with Regionalization set to “off.” With this setting, the unit switches to another station within the same network when the receiving signals from the current station become weak. (In this mode, the programme may differ from the one currently received.) The AF indicator lights up but the REG indicator does not.

• AF Reg: Network-Tracking Reception is activated with Regionalization set to “on.” With this setting, the unit switches to another station, within the same network, broadcasting the same programme when the receiving signals from the current station become weak. Both the AF indicator and the REG indicator light up.

• Off: Network-Tracking Reception is deactivated. Neither the AF indicator nor the REG indicator lights up.

AF indicator

Note:

If a DAB tuner is connected and Alternative Reception (for DAB services) is activated, Network-Tracking Reception is also activated (“AF”) automatically. On the other hand, Network-Tracking Reception cannot be deactivated without deactivating Alternative Reception. (See page 52.)

Press and hold SEL

REG indicator

(select) for more than 2 seconds so that one of the PSM items appears on the display. (PSM: see pages 36 and 37.)

Press 5 (up) or ∞ (down) repeatedly until “Tuner” is selected as the PSM category (it is shown on the left side of the display).

Select “AF-Regn’l (alternative frequency/ regionalization reception).”

Select the desired mode—“AF,” “AF Reg” or “Off.”

Finish the setting.

Using TA Standby Reception

TA Standby Reception allows the unit to switch temporarily to Traffic Announcement (TA) from the current source (another FM station or CD and other connected components).

• TA Standby Reception will not work if you are listening

to an AM station.

TP indicator

Press TP/PTY (T) to activate TA Standby Reception. 7 When the current source is FM, the TP

indicator either lights up or flashes.

• If the TP indicator lights up, TA Standby Reception is activated. If a station starts broadcasting a traffic announcement, “Traffic Flash” appears on the display, and this unit automatically tunes in to the station. The volume changes to the preset TA volume level (see page 18) and the traffic announcement can be heard.

• If the TP indicator flashes, TA Standby Reception is not yet activated since the station being received does not provide the signals used for TA Standby Reception. To activate TA Standby Reception, you need to tune in to another station providing these signals. Press ¢ or 4 to search for such a station. When a station providing these signals is tuned in, the TP indicator stops flashing and remains lit. Now TA Standby Reception is activated.

7 When the current source is other than FM,

the TP indicator lights up. If a station starts broadcasting a traffic announcement, “Traffic Flash” appears on the display, and this unit automatically changes the source and tunes in to the station.

To deactivate the TA Standby Reception, press TP/PTY (T) again.

ENGLISH

Using PTY Standby Reception

PTY Standby Reception allows the unit to switch temporarily to your favourite programme (PTY: Programme Type) from the current source (another

ENGLISH

FM station, CD or other connected components).

• PTY Standby Reception will not work if you are

listening to an AM station.

You can select your favourite programme type for PTY Standby Reception. When shipped from the factory, PTY Standby Reception is turned off. (“Off” is selected for PTY Standby Reception.)

Selected code name appears on the display and is stored into memory.

Finish the setting.

PTY indicator

7 When the current source is FM, the PTY

indicator either lights up or flashes.

• If the PTY indicator lights up, PTY Standby Reception is activated. If a station starts broadcasting the selected PTY programme, this unit automatically tunes in to the station.

• If the PTY indicator flashes, PTY Standby Reception is not yet activated since the station being received does not provide the signals used for PTY Standby Reception. To activate PTY Standby Reception, you need to tune in to another station providing these signals. Press ¢ or 4 to search for such a station. When a station providing these signals is tuned in, the PTY indicator stops flashing and remains lit. Now PTY Standby Reception is activated.

7 When the current source is other than

FM, the PTY indicator lights up.

If a station starts broadcasting the selected PTY programme, this unit automatically changes the source and tunes in to the station.

To deactivate the PTY Standby Reception,

select “Off” in step 4 by turning the control dial. The PTY indicator disappears.

MP3 INTRODUCTION

What is MP3?

MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group (or MPEG) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a data compression ratio of 1:10

ENGLISH

(128 Kbps*). That means, by using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can.

Bit rate is the average number of bits that one second of audio data will consume. The unit used is Kbps (1000 bits/second). To get a better audio quality, choose a higher bit rate. The most popular bit rate for encoding is 128 Kbps.

This unit is incorporated with an MP3 decoder. You can play back MP3 files (tracks) recorded on CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and CD-ROMs.

Compatible with ID3v1

Extra information data such as album title, performer name, song title, recording year, music genre and a brief comment can be stored within an MP3 file.

This unit can show ID3v1 tags (album name, performer name and song title) on the display. (See page 57.)

• Some characters cannot be shown correctly.

• This unit is not compatible with ID3v2.

Other Main Features in this unit:

• Maximum number of directories/files: 289

• Available characters for directory/file names: A–Z, 0–9, _ (underscore)

• Maximum number of characters for file name

(ISO 9660 Level 1): 12 (inclusive of

separation mark—“.” and extension code—“mp3”)

(ISO 9660 Level 2): 31 (inclusive of

separation mark—“.” and extension code—“mp3”)

(Joliet): 64 (inclusive of

separation mark—“.” and extension code—“mp3”)

• Maximum number of characters for directory

name: 64

(Total)

Precautions when recording MP3 files on a CD-R or CD-RW

This unit can only read MP3 files that are recorded in the format that is compliant with ISO 9660 Level 1, Level 2 or Joliet.

How are MP3 files recorded and played back?

MP3 “files (tracks)” can be recorded in “directories (folders)”—in PC terminology.

During recording, the files and directories can be arranged in a way similar to arranging files and directories/folders of computer data. “Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every file and directory can be linked to and be accessed from the root.

Playback order, file search order, and directory search order of the MP3 files recorded on a disc are determined by the writing (or encoding) application; therefore, playback order may be different from the one you have intended while recording the directories and the files.

The illustration on the next page shows an example of how MP3 files are recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW, how they are played back, and how they are searched for on this unit.

Notes:

• The unit can read a CD-ROM containing MP3 files. However, if non-MP3 files are recorded together with MP3 files, this unit will take a longer time to scan the disc. It may also cause the unit to malfunction.

• The unit cannot read or play an MP3 file without the extension code—mp3.

• This player is not compatible with the data encoded with Layer1 and Layer 2 formats.

• The unit is not compatible with Playlist**.

** A playlist is a simple text file, used on a PC, which enables

users to make their own playback order without physically rearranging the files.

Note:

There is no limit on the number of the hierarchy levels (nested directories). However, it is recommended to limit the numbers of

hierarchy levels up to 8 for stable operations.

MP3 playback/search order

• The numbers in circles below the MP3 files ( ) indicate the playback order and search order of the MP3 files. Normally this unit plays back MP3 files in the recorded order.

• The numbers inside the directories indicate the playback order and search order of the directories on an MP3 disc. Normally this unit plays back MP3 files in the directories in the recorded order.

MP3 OPERATIONS

2000

Refer also to “CD OPERATIONS” on pages 20 to 23.

Playing an MP3 disc

Open the control panel.

Insert an MP3 disc into the loading slot.

The unit draws the disc. Playback starts automatically from the first file of the first directory once disc check is completed.

Close the control panel by hand.

The display changes to show the following:

EX.:When the disc contains 13 directories and

125 MP3 files.

Current file (track)

Elapsed playing time

All the files (tracks) on the disc will be played repeatedly until you stop playback.

Notes:

• MP3 discs require a longer readout time. (It differs due to the complexity of the directory/file configuration.)

• If you change the source or turn the power off, MP3 playback stops (without ejecting the disc). Next time you select disc play as the source or turn the power on, MP3 playback starts from where playback has been stopped previously.

To stop play and eject the disc

Press 0. Playback stops, the control panel moves down, and the disc automatically ejects from the loading slot.

Selecting a directory

You can select a directory or skip to another directory easily.

ENGLISH

Locating a file or particular portion on an MP3 disc

To fast-forward or reverse the file

Press and hold ¢ while playing an MP3 disc, to fast-forward the file.

Press and hold 4 while playing an MP3 disc, to reverse the file.

Note:

During this operation, you can only hear intermittent sounds. (The elapsed playing time also changes intermittently on the display.)

To skip to the next or previous files

Press ¢ briefly while playing, to skip ahead to the beginning of the next file. Each time you press the button consecutively, the beginning of the next files is located and played back. (See “MP3 playback/search order” on page 25.)

Press 4 briefly, while playing, to skip back to the beginning of the current file. Each time you press the button consecutively, the beginning of the previous files is located and played back. (See “MP3 playback/search order” on page 25.)

To go to a particular directory directly

IMPORTANT:

To directly select the directories using the number button(s), it is required that directories are assigned 2 digit numbers at the beginning of their directory names. (This can only be done during the recording of CD-Rs or CD-RWs.) Ex.: If directory name is “01 ABC”

= press 1 to go to Directory 01 ABC.

If directory name is “1 ABC,” pressing 1 does not work.

If directory name is “12 ABC”

= press and hold 6 (12) to go to

Directory 12 ABC.

Press the number button corresponding to the directory number to start playing the first file in the selected directory.

• To select a directory number from 01 – 06: Press 1 (7) – 6 (12) briefly.

• To select a directory number from 07 – 12: Press and hold 1 (7) – 6 (12) for more than 1 second.

Notes:

• If “MP3” flashes on the display after you have selected a directory, it means that the directory does not contain any MP3 files.

• You cannot directly select a directory with a number greater than 12.

To select a particular file in a directory, press

¢ or 4 after selecting the directory.

To skip to the next directory

Press 5 (up) briefly while playing an MP3 disc. Each time you press the button

DAB TUNER OPERATIONS

FM/AMDAB

2000

ENGLISH

We recommend that you use DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) tuner KT-DB1500 with your unit. If you have another DAB tuner, consult your JVC IN-CAR ENTERTAINMENT dealer.

• Refer also to the Instructions supplied with your DAB tuner.

What is DAB system?

DAB is one of the digital radio broadcasting systems available today. It can deliver CD quality sound without any annoying interference and signal distortion. Furthermore, it can carry text, pictures and data. In contrast to FM broadcast, where each programme is transmitted on its own frequency, 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”).

With the DAB tuner connected with this unit, you can enjoy these DAB services.

Note:

When reception switches between DAB and FM, the listening volume level may increase or decrease inconveniently. This change in the volume level results from unequal audio injection levels at broadcaster site, but not from the malfunction of this unit. To prevent this inconvenience, you can adjust the DAB input level (see page 31).

Tuning in to an ensemble and one of the services

A typical ensemble has 6 or more programmes (services) broadcast at the same time. After tuning in to an ensemble, you can select a service you want to listen to.

Before you start....

Press FM/AM DAB briefly if CD, CD changer or external component is the current source.

Select the DAB tuner.

Each time you press and hold the button, the DAB tuner and the FM/AM tuner are alternately selected.

Last received service of the selected band is tuned in.

Select the DAB band (DAB1, DAB2 or DAB3).

Each time you press the button, the DAB band changes as follows:

DAB1 DAB2 DAB3

Note:

This receiver has three DAB bands (DAB1, DAB2, DAB3). You can use any one of them to tune in to an ensemble.

Start searching for an ensemble.

secondary) you want to listen to.

Press 5 (up) to select the next service. (If a primary service has some secondary services, they are selected before the next primary service is selected.)

To restore the FM/AM tuner

Press and hold FM/AM DAB again.

Storing DAB services in memory

You can preset up to 6 DAB services in each DAB band (DAB1, DAB2 and DAB3) manually.

Select the DAB tuner.

Each time you press and hold the button, the DAB tuner and the FM/AM tuner are alternately selected.

The display pattern automatically changes to the non-animation display and the preset number flashes (then the previous display pattern resumes).

Repeat the above procedure to store other DAB services into other preset numbers.

Notes:

• You can only preset primary DAB services. If you store a secondary service, its primary service will be stored instead.

• A previously preset DAB service is erased when a new DAB service is stored in the same preset number.

Tuning in to a preset DAB service

You can easily tune in to a preset DAB service. Remember that you must store services first. If you have not stored them yet, see page 50.

Selecting a preset service directly

Select the DAB tuner.

Each time you press and hold the button, the DAB tuner and the FM/AM tuner are alternately selected.

Select the DAB band (DAB1, DAB2 or DAB3) you want.

Each time you press the button, the DAB band changes as follows:

DAB1 DAB2 DAB3

Select the number (1 – 6) for the preset DAB service (primary) you want.

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.

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.

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.

About mistracking:

Mistracking may result from driving on extremely rough roads. This does not damage the unit and the disc, but will be annoying. We recommend that you stop disc playback while driving on such rough roads.

Center holder

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.

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

You can play back your original CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded in audio CD format or in MP3 format.

However, they may not be played back depending on their characteristics or recording conditions.

• User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) can be played back only if they are already “finalized.”

• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if the player’s lens is dirty.

• CD-Rs or CD-RWs are susceptible to high temperatures or high humidity; so do not leave them inside your car.

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. (This is caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.)

CAUTIONS:

• Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CDs) into the loading slot. (Such discs cannot be ejected.)

• Do not insert any disc of unusual shape—like a heart or flower; otherwise, it will cause a malfunction.

• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or any heat source or place them in a place subject to high temperature and humidity. Do not leave them in a car.

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