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 the files of the same type which is 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, and for the following causes:

– 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

(stain, scratch, warp, 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 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 damages to 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 15).

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.

More about this unit

Basic operations

Turning on the power

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

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.

• When a disc has been loaded, selecting “CD” for the playback source starts disc play.

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.

Inserting a disc

• When a disc is inserted upside down,

“PLEASE” and “EJECT” appear alternately on the display. Press 0 to eject the disc.

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

• When no disc is loaded in the unit, “CD” cannot be selected.

• “CD-CH” cannot be selected when the target component is not connected.

Playing a disc

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

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, a previously preset station is erased when a new station is stored in the same preset number.

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 15).

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.

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.

Selecting the sources

• When no disc is loaded in the unit, “CD” cannot be selected.

• “CD-CH” or “DAB” cannot be selected when the target component is not connected.

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, a previously preset station is erased when a new station is stored in the same preset number.

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 (TA VOL) automatically changes to the preset level.

To be continued...
