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.

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.
