One Touch Operation

When the CA-MD9R is connected to an AC power outlet, a Demo automatically starts showing some of the main features.

To stop the Demo, press any button. “DEMO OFF” appears on the display and the Demo stops.

To restart the Demo, press the DEMO button.

One Touch Operation is JVC’s feature that lets you control the most frequently used functions of the CA-MD9R with a single touch. One Touch Operation starts playing a CD or a MD, turns on the radio, plays a tape, etc. with a single press of the play button for that source. What One Touch Operation does for you is to turn the power on, then start the source you have specified. If the unit is not ready, such as no CD or tape in place, the unit still powers on so you can insert a CD or tape. How One Touch Operation works in each case is explained in each related section.

Receiving FM Stations with RDS

RDS (Radio Data System) allows the FM stations to send additional signals along with their regular program signals. For example, the stations send their station names and information about what type of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc. When tuned to an FM station providing the RDS signals, the RDS indicator lights up and the station name, if sent, is displayed. One convenient RDS service is “Enhanced Other Networks (EON)” (see page 16). This allows the unit to automatically switch to a program type of your choice when one starts in your local area. ❏ Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do all RDS stations provide the same services. If

in doubt, check with local radio stations for details on RDS services in your area.

❏ RDS may not work correctly if the station you are tuned in is not transmitting the signals

properly or if the signal strength is weak.
