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 33).

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.

When surrounding sounds are noisy

Some service provides Dynamic Range Control (DRC) signals together with their regular programme signals. DRC will reinforce the low level sounds to improve for your listening.

2 Select one of the DRC signals level (1, 2,

or 3).

The reinforcement increases from 1 to 3.

3 Exit from the setting.

DRC indicator appears.

• The DRC indicator will be highlighted ) only when receiving DRC signals

( from the tuned service.

To search for your favorite service

You can search for either Dynamic or Static PTY codes.

• Operations are exactly the same as explained on page 12 for FM RDS stations.

• You cannot store PTY codes separately for the DAB tuner and the FM tuner.

• Search will be performed on the DAB tuner only.
