Note:  
For security reasons, a numbered ID card is provided with this unit, and the same ID number is imprinted on  
the unit’s chassis. Keep the card in a safe place, as it will help the authorities to identify your unit if stolen.  
BEFORE USE  
*For safety....  
*Temperature inside the car....  
If you have parked the car for a long time in hot or  
cold weather, wait until the temperature in the car  
becomes normal before operating the unit.  
• Do not raise the volume level too much, as this will  
block outside sounds, making driving dangerous.  
• Stop the car before performing any complicated  
operations.

Storing stations in memory  
3 Tune in to a station you want while  
M(manual) is flashing.  
You can use one of the following two methods to  
store broadcasting stations in memory.  
• Automatic preset of FM stations: SSM (Strong-  
station Sequential Memory)  
To tune in to stations of higher  
frequencies  
• Manual preset of both FM and AM stations  
To tune in to stations of lower  
frequencies  
FM station automatic preset: SSM  
• If you release your finger from the button,  
the manual mode will automatically turns  
off after 5 seconds.  
You can preset 6 local FM stations in each FM  
band (FM1, FM2, and FM3).  
• If you hold down the button, the frequency  
keeps changing (in 50 kHz intervals for FM  
and 9 kHz intervals for AM—MW/LW) until  
you release the button.  
1 Select the FM band (FM1 3) you  
want to store FM stations into.  
Each time you press the  
button, the band changes as  
follows:  
When an FM stereo broadcast is hard to  
receive:  
FM1  
FM2  
FM3  
AM  
1 Press MODE to enter the  
functions mode while listening to  
an FM stereo broadcast.  
2 Press and hold both buttons for  
more than 2 seconds.  
2 Press MO (monaural), while still  
in the functions mode, so that the  
MO indicator lights up on the  
display.  
Each time you press the button,  
the MO indicator lights up and  
goes off alternately.  
MO (monaural) indicator  
“SSM” appears, then disappears when  
automatic preset is over.  
Local FM stations with the strongest signals are  
searched and stored automatically in the band  
number you have selected (FM1, FM2, or FM3).  
These stations are preset in the number  
buttons—No.1 (lowest frequency) to No.6  
(highest frequency).  
When the MO indicator is lit on the display, the  
sound you hear becomes monaural but the  
reception will be improved.  
When automatic preset is over, the station stored  
in number button 1 will be automatically tuned in.

Notes:  
Manual preset  
• A previously preset station is erased when a new  
station is stored in the same preset number.  
• Preset stations are erased when the power supply to  
the memory circuit is interrupted (for example,  
during battery replacement). If this occurs, preset  
the stations again.  
You can preset up to 6 stations in each band  
(FM1, FM2, FM3, and AM) manually.  
Ex.: Storing FM station of 88.3 MHz into the  
preset number 1 of the FM1 band.

RDS OPERATIONS  
What you can do with RDS  
To use Network-Tracking Reception  
You can select the different modes of network-  
tracking reception to continue listening to the  
same programme in its finest reception.  
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  
“Enhanced Other Networks.By using the  
Enhanced Other Networks data sent from a  
station, you can tune in to 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.  
When shipped from the factory, AF” is selected.  
• AF:  
Network-Tracking Reception is  
activated with Regionalization set to  
“off.”  
With this setting, the unit 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.)  
The AF indicator lights up but the  
REG indicator does not.  
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  
• Programme search  
• AF REG: Network-Tracking Reception is  
activated with Regionalization set to  
“on.”  
With this setting, the unit switches to  
another station, within the same  
network, broadcasting the same  
programme when the receiving  
signals from the current station  
become weak.  
• And some other functions  
Tracing the same programme  
automatically (Network-Tracking  
Reception)  
Both the AF indicator and the REG  
indicator light up.  
• OFF:  
Network-Tracking Reception is  
deactivated.  
Neither the AF indicator nor the REG  
indicator lights up.  
When driving in an area where FM reception is  
not good, the tuner built in this unit automatically  
tunes in to 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 page 16.)  
AF indicator  
Two types of the RDS data are used to make  
Network-Tracking Reception work correctly  
—PI (Programme Identification) and AF  
(Alternative Frequency).  
REG indicator  
Without receiving these data correctly from the  
RDS station you are listening to, Network-  
Tracking Reception will not operate.

Using TA Standby Reception  
1 Press and hold SEL (select) for more  
than 2 seconds so that one of the  
PSM items appears on the display.  
(PSM: see page 23.)  
TA Standby Reception allows the unit to switch  
temporarily to Traffic Announcement (TA) from  
the current source (another FM station, tape, or  
other connected components).  
• TA Standby Reception will not work if you are  
listening to an AM station.  
Press TP/PTY to activate TA Standby Reception.  
2 Select “AF-REG” (alternative  
frequency/regionalization reception)  
if not shown on the display.  
7 When the current source is FM, the TP  
indicator either lights up or flashes.  
• If the TP indicator lights up, TA Standby  
Reception is activated.  
If a station starts broadcasting a traffic  
announcement, “TRAFFIC” appears on the  
display, and this unit automatically tunes in to  
the station. The volume changes to the  
preset TA volume level (see page 15) and the  
traffic announcement can be heard.  
3 Select the desired mode—“AF,”  
“AF REG,or “OFF.”  
• If the TP indicator flashes, TA Standby  
Reception is not yet activated since the  
station being received does not provide the  
signals used for TA Standby Reception.  
To activate TA Standby Reception, you need

7 When the current source is other than FM,  
the TP indicator lights up.  
If a station starts broadcasting a traffic  
announcement, “TRAFFIC” appears on the

source and tunes in to the station.  
To deactivate the TA Standby Reception,  
press TP/PTY again. The TP indicator  
disappears.

Using PTY Standby Reception  
4 Finish the setting.  
PTY Standby Reception allows the unit to switch  
temporarily to your favorite programme (PTY:  
Programme Type) from the current source  
(another FM station, tape, or other connected  
components).  
7 When the current source is FM, the PTY  
indicator either lights up or flashes.  
If the PTY indicator lights up, PTY Standby  
Reception is activated.  
If a station starts broadcasting the selected  
PTY programme, this unit automatically  
tunes in to the station.  
If the PTY indicator flashes, PTY Standby  
Reception is not yet activated since the  
station being received does not provide the  
signals used for PTY Standby Reception.  
To activate PTY Standby Reception, you

If you have another DAB tuner, consult your JVC  
IN-CAR ENTERTAINMENT dealer.  
• Refer also to the Instructions supplied with

Before you start....  
Press FM/AM (DAB) briefly if tape, CD changer,

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