• Programme Type (PTY) Search

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

• Programme Search

• Tracing the same programme automatically—Network-Tracking Reception

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. In contrast to FM broadcast, where each
programme is transmitted on its own frequency, DAB combines several programmes (called

ENGLISH

“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 6
or more programmes (services) broadcast at the same time.

It is recommended to use DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) tuner KT-DB1500 or
KT-DB1000 with this unit. If you have another DAB tuner, consult your JVC IN-CAR
ENTERTAINMENT dealer.

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

cloth.

• Be careful not to scratch the surface when
wiping it.

• Do not use the following materials to clean the
touch panel:
– Wet cloth
– Volatile substance such as benzine and

thinner

– Acid detergent, alkaline detergent, and

detergent composed of organic substance

• When using chemically processed duster, read

Tuner Operations

Storing stations in memory

• When SSM is carried out for a band...
– All stations previously stored for the band

are erased and stations are stored newly.

– Received stations are preset in the number

buttons No.1 (lowest frequency) to No.6
(highest frequency). When SSM is over, the
station stored in number button 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.

• Preset stations are erased when the power
supply to the memory circuit is interrupted
(for example, during battery replacement). If
this occurs, preset the stations again.

FM RDS operations

• Network-Tracking Reception requires two
types of RDS signals—PI (Programme
Identification) and AF (Alternative

Basic Disc Operations

General

• This unit has been designed to reproduce

ENGLISH

CDs/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/
CD-RWs (Rewritable) in both audio and
MP3/WMA formats.

• The unit cannot read or play an MP3 track
without the extension code <mp3>, and a
WMA track without the extension code
<wma>.

• When a disc has been already loaded,
selecting “CD” for the playback source starts
disc play.

Inserting a disc

• When a disc is inserted upside down, the disc
automatically ejects.

• If you keep the control panel open for about 1
minute, the control panel returns to its
previous position.

Playing a disc

• While playing an audio CD: If a title has been
assigned to the audio CD (see page 41), it
will be shown on the display.

• While fast-forwarding or reversing on an
MP3 or WMA disc, you can only hear
intermittent sounds. (The elapsed playing
time also changes intermittently on the
display.)

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back
on this unit because of their disc
characteristics, and for the following causes:
– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation on the lens inside

the unit.

– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time
since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower
than that of regular CDs.

• Do not use following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:
– Discs with stickers, labels, or 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 humidity may cause malfunctions or
damage to discs. For example,
– Stickers or labels may shrink and warp a

disc.
– Stickers or labels may peel off so discs

cannot be ejected.
– Print on discs may get sticky.
Read instructions or cautions about labels and
printable discs carefully.

Changing the source

• If you change the source, playback also stops
(without ejecting the disc).
Next time you select “CD” for the playback
source, disc play starts from where it has
been stopped previously.

folder, a file with the youngest file number

is used for the graphic screen.

Ejecting a disc

• If the ejected disc is not removed within 15
seconds, the disc is automatically inserted
again into the loading slot to prevent it from
dust. (Disc will not play this time.)
