If the sound quality decreases and the stereo effect is lost while listening to an FM station...

In some areas, adjacent stations may interfere with each other. If such interference occurs, this unit can automatically reduce the interference noise (the initial setting when shipped from the factory). However, in this case, the sound quality will be degraded and the stereo effect will also be lost. If you do not want to degrade the sound quality and to lose the stereo effect, rather than to eliminate the interference noise, see “To change the FM tuner selectivity – IF FILTER” on page 40.

RDS OPERATIONS

What you can do with RDS

RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular programme signals. For example, the stations

ENGLISH

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. (See the illustration on the next page.) 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.

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

• AF REG: Network-Tracking Reception is

• OFF: Network-Tracking Reception is

Note:

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

Finish the setting.

The same programme can be received on different frequencies.

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency A

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency E

Using TA Standby Reception

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

• TA Standby Reception will not work if you are

listening to an AM station.

Press T/P 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” appears on the display, and this unit automatically tunes in to the station. The volume changes to the preset TA volume level (see page 19) 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” appears on the display, and this unit automatically changes the source and tunes in to the station.

ENGLISH

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

• To cancel the PTY Standby Reception, select “OFF.”

Finish the setting.

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 3 on the left column. The PTY indicator disappears.

MP3 INTRODUCTION

This chapter is only for KD-SH909R.

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 (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.

* This player is not compatible with the data encoded

with Layer 1 and 2 formats.

** Bit rate is the average number of bits that one second of

audio data will consume. The unit used is Kbps (1000 bits/second). T o 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 53.)

• 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 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.

• 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 ph ysically rearranging the files.

MP3 playback/search order (page 29)

• 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.

Movement between the directories (pages 30 and 31)

You can move to another directory on the same hierarch y level (only within the same parent directory) (e.g. from Directory 02, you can go to Directory 04 or 08) or on a different hierarchy level (e.g. from Directory 05, you can go to Directory 04 or 06).

DAB TUNER OPERATIONS

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

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 into an ensemble, you can select a service you want to listen to.

Select the DAB tuner.

When you select a source,the power automatically comes on. Each time you press the button, the source changes as follows:

AM TUNER (AM)

DAB TUNER (DAB)* CD CHANGER (CDCH)* LINE INPUT (LINE)***

What you can do more with DAB

Tracing the same program automatically (Alternative Reception)

You can keep listening to the same program.

• 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 program.

• While receiving an FM RDS station:

When driving in an area where a DAB service is broadcasting the same program as the FM RDS station is broadcasting, this unit automatically tunes in to the DAB service.

Note:

When reception switches between D AB and FM, the listening volume level may increase or decr ease inconveniently. This change in the volume level r esults from unequal audio injection levels at broadcaster site, but not from the malfunction of this unit.

MAINTENANCE

Handling discs

This unit has been designed to reproduce the discs bearing the following marks.

ENGLISH

You can also play back your original CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) either in audio CD format (or in MP3 format only for KD-SH909R).

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

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

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.

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.

use.

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.

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 dir ect 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, spr ay, thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean discs.

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

You can play back y our original CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded in audio CD format (or in MP3 format only for KD-SH909R). (However, they may not be played back depending on their characteristics or recording conditions.)

• User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable), where audio CD tracks are recorded, 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.)

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.
