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.

“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.

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.
10
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.

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
need to tune in to another station providing
• PTY Standby Reception will not work if you are
listening to an AM station.
You can select your favorite programme type for

DAB TUNER OPERATIONS
We recommend that you use DAB (Digital Audio
Broadcasting) tuner KT-DB1500 or KT-DB1000
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.
Tuning in to an ensemble and
one of the services
A typical ensemble has 6 or more programmes
(services) broadcast at the same time. After
tuning in to an ensemble, you can select a
service you want to listen to.
Before you start....
Press FM/AM (DAB) briefly if tape, CD changer,
or external component is the current source.
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.
DAB
FM/AM
2 Select the DAB band (DAB1, DAB2,

components (called “secondary service”).
Each time you press the
button, the DAB band
changes as follows:
