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 stations send 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 CD.  
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 (Network-  
Tracking 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 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  
RDS  
(Traffic Programme/Radio Data System) for more than 1 second.  
TP  
Each time you press and hold the button, Network-Tracking  
Reception modes change as follows:  
Mode 1

Mode 3  
AF indicator  
REG indicator

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 from 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  
Programme 1 broadcasting  
on frequency A  
Programme 1 broadcasting on  
frequency B  
Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency C  
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 and CD.  
Note:  
Standby Reception will not work if you are listening to an AM station.  
TA Standby Reception  
When you press TP RDS while listening to an FM station, the TP indicator

display, and TP station search starts. When a TP station is tuned in, the TP indicator  
is lit.  
If you are listening to a CD, and wish to listen to a TP station, press TP  
RDS to enter the TA standby mode. (The TP indicator lights up.)  
If a traffic programme starts broadcasting while theTA standby mode is active,  
TRAFFICappears and the playback source changes to the FM band. The  
volume increases to the preset TA volume level and the traffic programme  
can be heard (see page 17).  
To deactivate the TA standby mode, press TP RDS again.  
PTY Standby Reception  
When you press PTY while listening to an FM station, the PTY indicator is  
lit during reception of a PTY station and the PTY standby mode is engaged.  
The selected PTY name stored on page 14 flashes for 5 seconds.

Other convenient RDS functions and adjustments  
Automatic selection of the station when using the number  
buttons  
Usually when you press the number button, the preset station is tuned in.  
However, when the preset station is an RDS station, something different will happen. If the  
signals from that preset station are not sufficient for good reception, this unit, using the AF  
data, tunes in another frequency broadcasting the same programme as the original preset  
station is broadcasting. In case no other station is tuned in, you can also search all receivable  
frequencies for the same programme. (Programme search) To activate programme search,  
follow the procedure below.  
Programme search takes a while.

DAB TUNER OPERATIONS  
This section is ONLY FOR KD-SX878R, when used with a JVC DAB (Digital Audio

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.

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.  
• 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  
A dirty CD may not play correctly. If a CD does become 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 8 cm 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.  
When playing a CD-R (Recordable)  
You can play back your original CD-Rs on this receiver.  
• Before playing back CD-Rs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.  
• Some CD-Rs recorded on CD recorders may not be played back on this receiver because of their disc  
characteristics, and of the following reasons:  
– Discs are dirty or scratched.  
– Moisture condensation occurs on the lens inside the unit.  
– The pickup lens inside the CD player is dirty.  
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs.  
• CD-RWs (Rewritable) cannot be played back on this receiver.  
• Do not use CD-Rs with stickers or sticking labels on the surface. They may cause malfunctions.  
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.
