Scanning broadcast stations

When you press SCAN while listening

SCAN

to the radio, station scanning starts. Each time a broadcast is tuned into, scanning stops for about 5 seconds (tuned frequency number flashes on the display), and you can check what program is now being broadcast.

7 If you want to listen to that program, press the

same button again to stop scanning.

RDS OPERATIONS (only for KS-FX915R)

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

ENGLISH

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 tape.

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

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

• Standby Reception of T A (Traf fic Announcement) or your favorite programme

• PTY (Programme T ype) 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 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:

TP RDS

AF indicator

REG indicator

Mode 1

The AF indicator lights up but the REG indicator does not. 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

Both the AF indicator and the REG indicator light up. 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

Neither the AF indicator nor the REG indicator lights up. Network-Tracking Reception is deactivated.

Mode 1

Mode 2 Mode 3

The same programme can be received on different frequencies.

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency A

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency B

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency C

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency E

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency D

Using Standby Reception

Standby Reception allows the unit to switch temporarily to your favorite programme (PTY: Programme Type) and Traffic Announcement (TA) from the current source (another FM station, tape or other connected components).

• Standby Reception will not work if you are listening

to an AM station.

TA Standby Reception

When you press TP RDS while listening

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 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.” 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.

Before you start....

Press DAB (FM AM) briefly if tape, CD changer or external component is the current source.

Select the DAB tuner.

Each time you press and hold the button, the DAB tuner and the FM/AM tuner are alternately selected.

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

Each time you press the button, the DAB band changes as follows:

(DAB 1)

(DAB 2)

(DAB 3)

Note:

This receiver has three D AB bands (D AB1, DAB2, DAB3). You can use any one of them to tune into an ensemble.
