Network-Tracking is activated.  
Switches between stations belonging to the network being received.  
Note:  
• In Mode 1, the broadcast may switch between different programmes  
even within the same network at certain times.

Network-Tracking is activated and Regional mode is engaged (switches  
between stations broadcasting the same programme, at all times).  
Mode 3 (AF: off/REG: off):

Network-Tracking reception  
When driving in an area where the signal strength drops, the tuner  
automatically uses PI (Programme Identification) and AF codes to retune to  
the same programme with a stronger signal from another RDS station in the  
network. By utilizing these codes, you can continue to listen to the same  
programme in its finest condition, no matter where you drive. (See illustration.)  
• When the RDS station to which you are tuned does not provide AF data or  
the unit is unable to receive AF data for any reason, Network-Tracking  
reception will NOT operate even when the signal strength drops below the  
reference level.  
The same programme can be received on different frequencies.

Other RDS functions  
Number buttons  
EON (Enhanced Other Networks)  
When a number button is pressed, if the  
station with that frequency is broadcasting a  
sufficiently strong signal, the receiver will tune  
to that frequency.  
When the signal strength is not sufficient for  
good reception, by referring to theAF list, the  
receiver searches for a station broadcasting  
the same programme with a stronger signal.  
If a station cannot be found in theAF list, PI-  
seek tuning starts. If a station broadcasting  
the same PI code cannot be detected in one  
search-cycle, PI-seek tuning is released and  
the original preset frequency is tuned to.  
• When tuning in a broadcasting station  
transmitting EON data, the EON indicator  
is lit and the following operations start.  
EON automatically stores the frequencies  
of stations from other networks transmitting  
information codes (TP/TA/AF/PTY/PS  
(Programme Service), etc.) so they can be  
mutually used. The following points have  
been improved:  
When listening to a station NOT transmitting  
traffic information or the selected PTY for  
example, EON automatically tunes to a station  
in a local network when this information is  
broadcast and then switches back to the  
original programme when the broadcast ends.  
(However, it does not switch back to the  
original programme if the broadcast continues  
for a long time.) The transmitted information  
(AF and other codes) is constantly and  
automatically updated so that preset  
programme information can be heard  
immediately even if in a different network area.  
CT (Clock Time)  
When CT data is received in the RDS signal,  
the time is correctly renewed.  
• RDS updates the local time according to  
Greenwich Mean Time.  
• When automatic renewal of clock time is  
NOT required, follow the steps below.  
1. Press the SEL button for more than 2  
seconds to set the preferred setting mode.  
Traffic information volume control  
This function adjusts the volume of traffic  
information broadcasts.  
1. Press the SEL button for more than 2  
seconds to set the preferred setting mode.  
2. Select “TA VOL” with the ¢ or 4  
button.  
2. Select “AUTO ADJ” with the ¢  
button.  
3. Press the “–” level control button and set to  
“ADJ OFF”. (See page 25.)  
or  
4
Once these steps are completed, clock time  
is not renewed even if the CT (Clock Time)  
data is received with the RDS signal. When  
you wish to reactivate this mode, repeat the  
same procedure and in Step 3 press the “+”  
Level Control button to set to “ADJ ON.” In  
the activated mode, clock time is automatically  
renewed when the CT data is received.  
3. Set to the desired volume with the + or -  
button. (See page 25.)  
Note:  
It takes at least 2 minutes to renew the time after  
receiving CT data. The station must be received  
for more than 2 minutes continuously, otherwise  
the clock time will NOT be renewed.

CD CHANGER OPERATIONS  
This section is ONLY FOR KD-SX838R, when used with a JVC CD automatic changer  
(separately purchased).  
We recommend that you use one of the CH-X series with your KD-SX838R.  
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) 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 display, 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 button of the CD changer.

DIGITAL AUDIO  
How to handle CDs  
When removing a CD from its case, press down the center holder of  
the case and lift the CD out, holding it by the edges.  
Center holder  
• Always hold the CD by the edges. Do not touch its recording surface.  
When storing a CD into its case, gently insert the CD around the  
center holder (with the printed surface facing up).  
• Make sure to store CDs into the cases after use.  
To keep CDs clean  
Adirty CD may not play correctly. If a CD does becomes dirty, wipe it with  
a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.  
To play new CDs  
New CDs may have some rough spots around the inner and outer edges.  
If such a CD is used, this unit may reject the CD.  
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with a pencil or ball-point  
pen, etc.  
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 CD and leave the  
unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates.  
CAUTIONS:  
• Do not insert 8cm (3 3/16") CDs (single CDs) into the loading slot. (Such CDs cannot be  
ejected.)  
• Do not insert any CD of unusual shape – like a heart or flower; otherwise, it will cause a  
malfunction.  
• Do not expose CDs 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.  
• Do not use any solvent (for example, conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner, benzine, etc.)  
to clean CDs.  
About mistracking:  
Mistracking may result from driving on extremely rough roads. This does not damage the  
unit and the CD, but will be annoying.  
We recommend that you stop CD play while driving on such rough roads.
