Warning:

If you need to operate the unit while driving, be sure to look ahead carefully or you may be involved in a traffic accident.

Caution on volume setting:

Discs produce very little noise compared with other sources. Lower the volume before playing a disc to avoid damaging the speakers by the sudden increase of the output level.

For safety...

• 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.

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.

DAB tuner operations

What is DAB system?

Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) can deliver digital quality sound without any annoying interference and signal distortion.

Furthermore, it can carry text, pictures, and data. When transmitting, DAB combines several programmes (called “services”) to form one “ensemble.” In addition, each “service”— called “primary service”—can also be divided into its components (called “secondary service”). A typical ensemble has six or more programmes (services) broadcast at the same time.

By connecting the DAB tuner, this unit can do the following:

• Tracing the same programme automatically

—Alternative Frequency Reception (see

“DAB AF” on page 14).

It is recommended to use DAB tuner

KT-DB1000 with your unit. If you have another DAB tuner, consult your JVC

IN-CAR ENTERTAINMENT dealer.

• Refer also to the Instructions supplied for your DAB tuner.

Alternative Frequency Reception

You can keep listening to the same programme by activating the Alternative Frequency

Reception.

• While receiving a DAB service:

When driving in an area where a service cannot be received, this unit automatically tunes in to another ensemble or FM RDS station, broadcasting the same programme.

• While receiving an FM RDS station:

When driving in an area where a DAB service is broadcasting the same programme as the

FM RDS station is broadcasting, this unit automatically tunes in to the DAB service.

Preset number flashes for a while.

Frequency Reception is activated.

To deactivate the Alternative Frequency

Reception, see page 14.

FM RDS operations

• Network-Tracking Reception requires two types of RDS signals—PI (Programme

Identification) and AF (Alternative

Frequency) to work correctly. Without receiving these data correctly, Network-

Tracking Reception will not operate correctly.

• If a Traffic Announcement is received by

TA Standby Reception, the volume level automatically changes to the preset level (TA

VOL) if the current level is lower than the preset level.

• When Alternative Frequency Reception is activated (with AF selected), Network-

Tracking Reception is also activated automatically. On the other hand, Network-

Tracking Reception cannot be deactivated without deactivating Alternative Frequency

Reception. (See page 13.)

More about this unit

Basic operations

Turning on the power

• By pressing the source buttons on the unit, you can also turn on the power. If the source is ready, playback also starts.

Turning off the power

• If you turn off the power while listening to a disc, disc play will start from where playback has been stopped previously, next time you turn on the power.

Tuner operations

Storing stations in memory

• During SSM search...

– All previously stored stations are erased and stations are stored newly.

– Received stations are preset in No. 1 (lowest frequency) to No. 6 (highest frequency).

– When SSM is over, the station stored in

No. 1 will be automatically tuned in.

• When storing a station manually, the previously preset station is erased when a new station is stored in the same preset number.

Disc operations

Caution for DualDisc playback

• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital

Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of Non-

DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be recommended.

General

• This unit has been designed to reproduce

CDs/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/

CD-RWs (Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA),

MP3, and WMA formats.

Inserting a disc

• When a disc is inserted upside down, the disc automatically ejects and the unit starts playing the last selected source.

• Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CD) and unusual shape discs (heart, flower, etc.) into the loading slot.

20

Playing a disc

• While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3 or WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent sounds.

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW

• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

• This unit can play back only files of the same type which are first detected if a disc includes both audio CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/

WMA files.

• This unit can play back multi-session discs; however, unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, or for the following reasons:

– Discs are dirty or scratched.

– Moisture condensation occurs on the lens inside the unit.

– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.

– CD-R/CD-RW on which the files are written with “Packet Write” method.

– There are improper recording conditions

(missing data, etc.) or media conditions

(stained, scratched, warped, etc.).

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular CDs.

• Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:

– Discs with stickers, labels, or a protective seal stuck to the surface.

– Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an ink jet printer.

Using these discs under high temperatures or high humidities may cause malfunctions or damage to the unit.

Playing an MP3/WMA disc

• This unit can play back MP3/WMA files with the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma>

(regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).

• This unit can show the names of albums, artists (performer), and Tag (Version 1.0, 1.1,

2.2, 2.3, or 2.4) for MP3 files and for WMA files.

• This unit can display only one-byte characters. No other characters can be correctly displayed.

• This unit can play back MP3/WMA files meeting the conditions below:

* The parenthetic figure is the maximum number of characters for file/folder names in case the total number of files and folders is

271 or more.

• This unit can play back files recorded in VBR

(variable bit rate).

Files recorded in VBR have a discrepancy in elapsed time display, and do not show the actual elapsed time. Especially, after performing the search function, this difference becomes noticeable.

• This unit can recognize a total of 512 files, of

Maintenance

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 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 of the case and lift the

Center holder disc out, holding it by the edges.

• Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not touch its recording surface.

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.

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.

• Do not use any solvent (for example, conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean discs.

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.

Do not use the following discs:

Warped disc

Sticker

Sticker residue

Stick-on label
