IMPORTANT FOR LASER PRODUCTS

CLASS LASER

Caution: This product contains a laser component of higher laser class than Class 1.

PRODUCT

CAUTION on Volume Setting

CDs produce very little noise compared with other sources. If the volume level is adjusted for the tuner, for example, the speakers may be damaged by the sudden increase in the output level. Therefore, lower the volume before playing a CD and adjust it as r equired during playback.

Note:

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 saf e place, as it will help the authorities to identify your unit if stolen.

Precautions:

1. CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT

2. DANGER: Invisible laser radiation when open and interlock failed or defeated. Avoid direct exposure to beam.

3. CAUTION: Do not open the top cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Leave all servicing to qualified service personnel.

4. CAUTION: This CD player uses invisible laser radiation and is equipped with safety switches to prevent radiation emission when unloading CDs. It is dangerous to defeat the safety switches.

5. CAUTION: Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

BEFORE USE

* 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.

Thank you for purchasing a JVC product. Please read all instructions carefully before operation, to ensure your complete understanding and to obtain the best possible performance from the unit.

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 program signals. F or example, the station send their station names, as well as

ENGLISH

information about what type of program 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 signals, this unit can do the following:

• Tracing the same programme automatically (Network-tracking Reception)

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

• PTY (Program Type) search

• TA (Traffic Announcement) search

• And some other functions

Tracing the same programme automatically (NetworkTracking Reception)

When driving in an area where FM reception is not good, the tuner built in this unit automatically tune in another RDS station, broadcasting the same programme with stronger signals. So, you can continue to listen to the same progr amme in its finest reception, no matter where you drive. (See the illustration on the next page.) Two types of the RDS signals are used to make Networ k-Tracking Reception work correctly — PI (Programme Identification) and AF (Alternative Frequency) data. Without receiving these data correctly from the RDS station you are listening to, NetworkTracking Reception will not operate.

RDS

To use Network-Tracking Reception, press and hold TP/RDS (Traffic Programme/Radio Data System) for more than 1 second. Each time you press and hold the button, Network-Tracking Reception modes change as follows:

Mode 1 Mode 2 Mode 3

Mode 1 (AF:on / REG:off)

Network-Tracking 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.

Note:

In this mode, the programme may differ from the one currently received.

Mode 2 (AF:on / REG:on)

Network-Tracking 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 (AF:off / REG:off)

Network-Tracking is deactivated.

The same programme can be received on different frequencies.

ENGLISH

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency A

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency B

Using Standby Reception

Standby Reception allows the unit to switch temporarily to a programme of your favorite programme (PTY: Programme TYpe) and Traffic Announcement (T A) from the current source (another FM station, CD, and other connected components).

ENGLISH

Note:

Standby Reception will not work if you are listening to an AM station.

TA Standby Reception

RDS

• When you press TP/RDS while listening to an FM station, the TP indicator is lit during reception of a TP (T raffic Prog ramme) station and the T A standby mode is engaged.

Other convenient RDS functions and adjustments

Automatic selection of the station when using the number buttons

ENGLISH

Usually when you press the number button, the preset station is tuned in. However, when the preset station is an RDS station, something different will happen. If the signals from that preset station are not sufficient for good reception, this unit starts searching another station broadcasting the same programme as the original preset station is broadcasting, then if any station broadcasting the same programme is found, the station will be tuned in.

Changing the display mode while listening to an FM station

You can change the initial indication on the display to either station name (PS) or to station frequency, while listening to an FM RDS station.

• See also “Changing the general settings (PSM)” on page 28.

SOUND ADJUSTMENTS

BBE (For KD-SX999R) LOUD (For KD-SX959R)

Turning on/off the BBE function

This section is ONLY FOR KD-SX999R.

The BBE* function restores 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. The BBE function 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. In addition, the BBE function boosts low and high frequencies, which loudspeakers tend to be less efficient in reproducing, through dynamic, program-driven augmentation. When combined with the phase compensation feature, the resulting sound has a clearer , more finely detailed “live” presence.

Each time you press BBE, the BBE function turns on and off alternately.
