Notes:

• A previously preset station is er ased when a new station is stored in the same preset n umber.

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

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 33.

RDS OPERATIONS

What you can do with RDS EON

RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular 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 “EON (Enhanced Other Networks).” The EON indicator lights up while receiving an FM station with the EON data. By using the EON data sent from a station, you can tune into a different station of a different network broadcasting your favorite 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 (T r affic Announcement) or your fav orite progr amme

• 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 into 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, Network-Tracking Reception will not operate.

To use Network-Tracking Reception, press and hold TP (traffic programme) f or more than 1 second. Each time you press and hold the button, NetworkTracking Reception modes change as follows:

Mode 1

(AF)

Mode 1

Mode 2

Mode 3

Mode 1

Network-Tracking Reception is activated with Regionalization set to “off.” 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.

Mode 2

Network-Tracking Reception is activated with Regionalization set to “on.” Switches to another station, within the same network, broadcasting the same programme when the receiving signals from the current station become weak.

Mode 3

Network-Tracking Reception is deactivated.

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 44.)

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). 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 45.)

• Some characters cannot be shown correctly.

• This unit is not compatible with ID3v2.

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. In compliance with ISO 9660, the maximum allowable depth of nested directories—so-called “hierarchy”—is eight (inclusive of the root directory).

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.

Other Main Features in this unit:

• Maximum number of hierarchy levels:8

• Maximum number of directories/files: 255

• 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”)

• Maximum number of characters for directory

name: 31

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 or Level 2.

(Total)

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 23)

• The numbers in circles next to the MP3 files ( ) indicate the playback order and search order of the MP3 files. Normally this unit pla ys 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 (page 25)

You can move to another directory on the same hierarchy level (e.g. from Directory 3, you can go to Directory 5 or 9) or on a different hierarchy level (e.g. from Directory 5, you can go to Directory 4 or 6).

ENGLISH

MP3 OPERATIONS

Refer also to “CD OPERATIONS” on pages 17 to

19.

Playing an MP3 disc

Open the loading slot.

The control panel moves down, and the loading slot appears.

Insert an MP3 disc into the loading slot.

The unit draws the disc, the control panel goes back to its previous position (see page 35) and playback starts automatically.

Playback starts automatically from the first file of the first directory once file check is completed. Then, the display changes to show the following:

• When “TAG ON” is selected (initial setting: see page 33)

Album name/performer name (directory name)* = T r ac k title (file name)* = Elapsed playing time

* If an MP3 file does not have ID3 tags,

directory name and file name appear.

• When “TAG OFF” is selected

Directory name and file name appear.

Notes:

• All the files on the disc will be played repeatedly until you stop playback—All File Repeat Play.

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

**Readout time is the time taken by the unit to scan or

check the disc for files and file information.

Ex.: When the disc contains 13 directories and 125

MP3 files.

To change the display information

While playing back an MP3 file, you can change the file information shown on the display. Each time you press D (display), the display changes to show the following:

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 into 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 described on page 7.

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

Each time you press and hold the button for more than 1 second, the DAB band changes as follows:

(DAB 1)

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 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 into 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.

To use Alternative Reception

When shipped from the factory, Alternative Reception is activated.

• See also “Changing the general settings (PSM)” on page 30.

1 Press and hold SEL (select) for more than 2

seconds so that one of the PSM items appears on the display.

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.

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.

COMPACT

DIGITAL AUDIO

Center holder

touch its recording surface.

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 (3 3/16") 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 an y 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.

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), 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 f or 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.
