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 station send their station names, as well as
ENGLISH
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 tape.
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 favorite programme
• PTY (Programme Type) search
• TP (Traffic Programme) 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 programme in its finest reception, no matter where y ou 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, Networ k­Tracking Reception will not operate.
T o use Netw ork-Tracking Reception, press and hold TP/RDS (T raffic Progr amme/Radio Data System) for more than 1 second. Each time you press and hold the button, Network-Tracking Reception modes change as follows:
RDS
TP
Mode 1 Mode 2 Mode 3

Page 9
Mode 1
The AF indicator lights up but the REG indicator does not. 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 fr om the one currently received.
Mode 2
Both the AF indicator and the REG indicator light up. 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
Neither the AF indicator nor the REG indicator lights up. Network-Tracking is deactivated.
The same programme can be received on different frequencies.
Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency E

Using Standby Reception
Standby Reception allows the unit to switch temporar ily to your favorite programme (PTY: Programme Type) and Traffic Announcement (TA) from the current source — another FM station and Tape or CD changer.
ENGLISH

CD CHANGER OPERATIONS

When used with a JVC CD automatic changer (separately purchased).
We recommend that you use one of the CH-X series with your unit. If you have another CD automatic changer, consult your JVC IN-CAR ENTERTAINMENT dealer for connections.
• For example, if your CD automatic changer is one of the KD-MK series, you need a cord (KS-U15K)
ENGLISH
for connecting it to this unit.
Before operating your CD automatic changer:
• Refer also to the Instructions supplied with your CD changer.
• If no discs are in the magazine of the CD changer or the discs are inserted upside down, “NO CD” or “NO DISC” will appear on the display. If this happens, remove the magazine and set the discs correctly.
• If “RESET 1 - RESET 8” appears on the displa y , something is wrong with the connection between this unit and the CD changer. If this happens, check the connection, connect the connecting cord(s) firmly if necessary, then press the reset b utton of the CD changer.
