RDS OPERATIONS  
What you can do with RDS  
The same programme can be received on  
different frequencies.  
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.  
Programme 1  
broadcasting  
on frequency A  
Programme 1  
broadcasting  
on frequency E  
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 favourite  
programme or traffic announcement while  
listening to another programme or to another  
source such as CD.  
Programme 1

Standby Reception of TA (Traffic Announcement)  
or your favourite programme  
PTY (Programme Type) search  
Programme search  
And some other functions  
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.  
When shipped from the factory, AFis 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.  
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  
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.  
Two types of the RDS data are used to make  
Network-Tracking Reception work correctly—  
PI (Programme Identification) and AF (Alternative  
Frequency).  
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.  
Both the AF indicator and the REG indicator  
light up.  
Without receiving these data correctly from the  
RDS station you are listening to, Network-  
Tracking Reception will not operate.  
Off:  
Network-Tracking Reception is deactivated.  
Neither the AF indicator nor the REG indicator  
lights up.

Using TA Standby Reception  
TA Standby Reception allows the unit to switch  
temporarily to Traffic Announcement (TA) from the  
current source (another FM station or CD and other  
connected components).

TA Standby Reception will not work if you are listening  
to an AM station.  
Note:  
If a DAB tuner is connected and Alternative Reception  
(for DAB services) is activated, Network-Tracking  
Reception is also activated (AF) automatically. On  
the other hand, Network-Tracking Reception cannot be  
deactivated without deactivating Alternative Reception.

preset TA volume level (see page 18) and  
the traffic announcement can be heard.

MP3 INTRODUCTION  
What is MP3?  
Precautions when recording MP3 files  
on a CD-R or CD-RW  
MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts  
Group (or MPEG) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a  
file format with a data compression ratio of 1:10  
(128 Kbps*). That means, by using MP3 format,  
one CD-R or CD-RW can contain 10 times as  
much data volume as a regular CD can.  
This unit can only read MP3 files that are recorded  
in the format that is compliant with ISO 9660 Level  
1, Level 2 or Joliet.  
How are MP3 files recorded  
and played back?  
*Bit rate is the average number of bits that one second of  
audio data will consume. The unit used is Kbps (1000  
bits/second).To get a better audio quality, choose a higher  
bit rate.The most popular bit rate for encoding is 128 Kbps.  
MP3 files (tracks)can be recorded in  
directories (folders)”—in PC terminology.  
During recording, the files and directories can be  
arranged in a way similar to arranging files and  
directories/folders of computer data.  
Rootis similar to the root of a tree. Every file  
and directory can be linked to and be accessed  
from the root.  
This unit is incorporated with an MP3 decoder.  
You can play back MP3 files (tracks) recorded on  
CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and CD-ROMs.  
Compatible with ID3v1  
Extra information data such as album title, performer  
name, song title, recording year, music genre and a  
brief comment can be stored within an MP3 file.  
Playback order, file search order, and directory  
search order of the MP3 files recorded on a disc  
are determined by the writing (or encoding)  
application; therefore, playback order may be  
different from the one you have intended while  
recording the directories and the files.  
This unit can show ID3v1 tags (album name,  
performer name and song title) on the display.  
(See page 57.)  
Some characters cannot be shown correctly.  
This unit is not compatible with ID3v2.  
The illustration on the next page shows an  
example of how MP3 files are recorded on a  
CD-R or CD-RW, how they are played back, and  
how they are searched for on this unit.  
Other Main Features in this unit:  
Maximum number of directories/files: 289  
(Total)  
Available characters for directory/file names:  
AZ, 09, _ (underscore)  
Maximum number of characters for file name

Notes:  
The unit can read a CD-ROM containing MP3  
files. However, if non-MP3 files are recorded  
together with MP3 files, this unit will take a longer  
time to scan the disc. It may also cause the unit to  
malfunction.  
The unit cannot read or play an MP3 file without  
the extension codemp3.

MP3 playback/search order  
The numbers in circles below the MP3 files ( ) indicate the playback order and search order of the  
MP3 files. Normally this unit plays back MP3 files in the recorded order.  
The numbers inside the directories indicate the playback order and search order of the directories  
on an MP3 disc. Normally this unit plays back MP3 files in the directories in the recorded order.

DAB TUNER OPERATIONS  
2000  
D
We recommend that you use DAB (Digital Audio  
Broadcasting) tuner KT-DB1500 with your unit.  
If you have another DAB tuner, consult your JVC  
IN-CAR ENTERTAINMENT dealer.  
Tuning in to an ensemble and  
one of the services  
Refer also to the Instructions supplied with  
your DAB tuner.  
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.  
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.”  
Before you start....  
Press FM/AM DAB briefly if CD, CD changer or  
external component is the current source.  
1 Select the DAB tuner.  
Each time you press and

In addition, each service”—called primary  
service”—can also be divided into its  
components (called secondary service).  
With the DAB tuner connected with this unit,  
you can enjoy these DAB services.  
Last received service of the selected band is tuned in.  
2 Select the DAB band (DAB1, DAB2  
or DAB3).  
Note:  
When reception switches between DAB and FM, the  
listening volume level may increase or decrease  
inconveniently. This change in the volume level results  
from unequal audio injection levels at broadcaster  
site, but not from the malfunction of this unit.  
To prevent this inconvenience, you can adjust the DAB  
input level (see page 31).  
Each time you press the  
button, the DAB band  
changes as follows:  
DAB1  
DAB2  
DAB3  
Note:  
This receiver has three DAB bands (DAB1, DAB2,  
DAB3). You can use any one of them to tune in to  
an ensemble.

MAINTENANCE  
Handling discs  
Moisture condensation  
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the  
unit in the following cases:  
This unit has been designed to play back CDs,  
CD-Rs, CD-RWs, CD Texts, and MP3 discs.  
After starting the heater in the car.  
If it becomes very humid inside the car.  
Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In  
this case, eject the disc and leave the unit turned  
on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates.  
How to handle discs  
When removing a disc from  
its case, press down the  
Center holder  
center holder of the case  
and lift the disc out,  
holding it by the edges.  
Always hold the disc by  
the edges. Do not touch its recording surface.  
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW  
You can play back your original CD-Rs or CD-RWs  
recorded in audio CD format or in MP3 format.  
However, they may not be played back depending  
on their characteristics or recording conditions.  
User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs  
(Rewritable) can be played back only if they are  
already finalized.”  
When storing a disc into its case, gently insert  
the disc around the center holder (with the  
printed surface facing up).  
Make sure to store discs into the cases after  
use.  
Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read  
their instructions or cautions carefully.  
Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played  
back on this unit because of their disc  
characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if  
the players lens is dirty.  
CD-Rs or CD-RWs are susceptible to high  
temperatures or high humidity; so do not leave  
them inside your car.  
To keep discs clean  
A dirty disc may not play  
correctly. If a disc does  
become dirty, wipe it with a  
soft cloth in a straight line  
from center to edge.  
CD-RWs may require a longer readout time.  
(This is caused by the fact that the reflectance  
of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.)  
To play new discs  
New discs may have  
some rough spots around  
the inner and outer edges.  
If such a disc is used, this  
unit may reject the disc.  
To remove these rough  
spots, rub the edges with  
a pencil or ball-point pen,  
etc.  
CAUTIONS:  
Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CDs) into the  
loading slot. (Such discs cannot be ejected.)  
Do not insert any disc of unusual shapelike a  
heart or flower; otherwise, it will cause a  
malfunction.  
Do not expose discs 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.  
About mistracking:  
Do not use any solvent (for example,  
conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner,  
benzine, etc.) to clean discs.  
Mistracking may result from driving on extremely  
rough roads. This does not damage the unit and  
the disc, but will be annoying.  
We recommend that you stop disc playback while  
driving on such rough roads.
