If you need to operate the receiver while driving, be sure to look ahead carefully or you may be involved in a traffic accident.

How to reset your unit

Press the reset button on the control panel using a ball-point pen or a similar tool. This will reset the built-in microcomputer.

Your preset adjustments—such as preset channels or sound adjustments—will also be erased.

Notice:

The display window built in this receiver has been produced with high precision, but it may have some ineffective dots. This is inevitable and is not malfunction.

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.

For security reasons, a numbered ID card is provided with this unit, and the same ID number is imprinted on the unit’s chassis. Keep the card in a safe place, as it will help the authorities to identify your unit if stolen.

For safety....

• Do not raise the volume level too much, as this will block outside sounds, making driving dangerous.

• Stop the car before performing any complicated operations.

Temperature inside the car....

If you have parked the car for a long time in hot or cold weather, wait until the temperature in the car becomes normal before operating the unit.

Important!

How to read this manual:

To make the explanations as simple and easy-to-understand as possible, we have

ENGLISH

adapted the following methods:

• Some related tips and notes are

explained later in the sections “More about This Receiver” (see page 59), but not in the same section explaining the operations. If you want to know more

about the functions, or if you have a doubt about the function, go to the section and you will find the answers.

Main Features

• Button operations are explained only with the illustrations as follows:

Press briefly.

Press repeatedly.

Hold

Press and hold until your desired response begins.

Press either one.

Compression Compensative Converter—CCC

CC Converter eliminates jitter and ripples, achieving a drastic reduction in digital distortion by processing the digital music data in 24-bit quantization and by expanding the sampling frequency to 176.4 kHz (for fs 44.1 kHz signals). This processing can be applied to the analog sources as well as the digital sources.

Digital Signal Processor (DSP) modes

The preset DSP modes can create a more acoustic sound field inside your car compartment, and give you a real “being there” feeling.

BBE Digital

Digital* is a new digital processing

BBE method to restore the brilliance and clarity of the original live sound in recording, broadcasts, etc. BBE Digital adjusts the phase relationship between the low, mid and high frequencies, so that all frequencies reach the listener’s ears at the proper time.

Color Graphic Display

The color display (256 × 64 pixels) built in this receiver can reproduce 256 colors.

Image Converter Color

With Image Converter Color included in the supplied CD-ROM, you can create your own images and animations, and can display them on the color graphic display.

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 send their station names (PS), as well as information about what type of programme they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.

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

• Programme Type (PTY) Search

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

• Programme Search

• Tracking the same programme automatically—Network-Tracking Reception

About MP3 and WMA discs

MP3 and WMA (Windows Media® Audio) “tracks” (words “file” and “track” are used interchangeably) are recorded in “folders.” “Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every track and folder can be linked to and be accessed from the root.

• When an MP3 or a WMA folder includes an image <jcl> file edited by Image Converter Color—supplied in the CDROM, you can show the image on the display while the tracks in the folder are played back. (See pages 39 and 60 for details.)

Making sound natural

This unit is equipped with two features to make sound natural—CC Converter and BBE Digital.

ENGLISH

To activate Compression Compensative (CC) Converter

CC Converter eliminates jitter and ripples, achieving a drastic reduction in digital distortion. This processing can be applied to the analog sources as well as the digital sources; therefore, you can obtain a natural sound field from any source.

While playing any source...

Move the cursor to “CCC” on the Main Menu.

The Main Menu appears on the display.

To activate BBE Digital

Digital is a new digital processing method

BBE to restore the brilliance and clarity of the original live sound in recording, broadcasts, etc. When a speaker reproduces sound, it introduces frequency-dependent phase shifting, causing high-frequency sounds to take longer to reach the ear than low frequency sounds. BBE Digital adjusts the phase relationship between the low, mid and high frequencies by adding a progressively longer delay time to the low and mid frequencies, so that all frequencies reach the listener’s ears at the proper time.

While playing any source...

Move the cursor to “BBE” on the Main Menu.

The Main Menu appears on the display.

Enter the CCC Menu.

BAND

Select “On.”

• When “CCC” is turned on, the CCC indicator is brightened in yellow on the display.

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 “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.

Maintenance

How to clean the connectors

ENGLISH

Frequent detachment will deteriorate the connectors. To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe the connectors with a cotton swab or cloth moistened with alcohol, being careful not to damage the connectors.

Connectors

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD player in the following cases:

• After starting the heater in the car.

• If it becomes very humid inside the car. Should this occur, the CD player may malfunction. In this case, eject the disc and leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates.

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.

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

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.

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 No.1 (lowest

frequency) to No.6 (highest frequency). When SSM is over, the station stored in No.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 Frequency) to work correctly. Without receiving these data correctly, NetworkTracking Reception will not operate.

• If Alternative Reception (for DAB: see page

56) is activated, Network-Tracking Reception is also activated (“AF”) automatically. On the other hand, Network-Tracking Reception cannot be deactivated without deactivating Alternative Reception.

• TA Standby Reception and PTY Standby Reception will be temporarily canceled while listening to an AM station.

Basic Disc Operations

General

• This unit has been designed to reproduce 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 42), 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.)

ENGLISH

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

ENGLISH

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.

ImageLink

• ImageLink will not work in the following cases: – If no <jcl> file is included in an MP3/

WMA folder. – If Intro Scan is activated. – If the source is changed to another from

“CD.”

• If more than one <jcl> file are included in a 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.)
