What you can do with RDS

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 CD.

By receiving the RDS data, this unit can do the following:

• Tracing the same programme automatically (Network-Tracking Reception) • TA Standby Reception or your favorite programme • PTY (Programme Type) search
• Programme search • And some other functions

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. (See the illustration on page 22.)

Two types of the RDS data are used to make Network-Tracking Reception work correctly — PI (Programme Identification) and AF (Alternative Frequency).

Without receiving these data correctly from the RDS station you are listening to, Network-Tracking Reception will not operate.

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, "AF" is selected.

- AF: Network-Tracking Reception is activated without Regionalization. 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.

• AF Reg: Network-Tracking Reception is activated with Regionalization. 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. The REG indicator lights up.
• Off*: Network-Tracking Reception is deactivated. Neither the AF nor the REG indicator lights up. * You can select only when "DAB AF" is set to "Off." (See page 47 for details.)

AF or REG indicator lights up.

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. (See page 69.)

1 Press and hold SEL (select) for more than 2 seconds so that one of the PSM items appears on the display. (PSM: see pages 46 and 47.)

2 Press number button 4 to select "TUNER"—Tuner category of the PSM settings.

The "PTY Stnby" (standby) setting screen appears on the display.

3 Select "AF-Regn'l" (alternative frequency/regionalization reception).

4 Select the desired mode—"AF," "AF Reg," or "Off."

5 Finish the setting.

Using TA Standby Reception

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

- See also "Road Traffic News Standby Reception (TA Standby Reception)" on page 67.

Press TP/PTY to activate TA Standby Reception.

Each time your press the button, this function is turned on and off alternately.

TP indicator appears. (either lights up or flashes)

Note: TA Standby Reception will not work if you are listening to an AM station.

■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 News” appears on the display, and this unit automatically tunes in to the station. The volume changes to the preset TA volume level (see page 21) and the traffic announcement can be heard.

- 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 to tune in to another station providing these signals. Press ▶▶| ∧ or |◀◀ √ to search for such a station.

When a station providing these signals is tuned in, the TP indicator stops flashing and remains lit. Now TA Standby Reception is activated.

■When the current source is other than FM, the TP indicator lights up.

If a station starts broadcasting a traffic announcement, “Traffic News” appears on the display, and this unit automatically changes the source and tunes in to the station.

Using PTY Standby Reception

PTY Standby Reception allows the unit to switch temporarily to your favorite programme (PTY: Programme Type) from any source except AM stations.

- See also "Using PTY Standby Reception" on page 69.

To select your favorite PTY code for PTY Standby Reception

When shipped from factory, PTY Standby Reception has been set to search for "News" programmes.

The display returns to the source indication screen.

PTY indicator appears.

(either lights up or flashes)

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 these signals. Press ▶▶▶ ▲ or ◀◀◀ ▼ to search for such a station.

When a station providing these signals is tuned in, the PTY indicator stops flashing and remains lit. Now PTY Standby Reception is activated.

Note:

This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs, CD-Rs (Recordable), CD-RWs (Rewritable), and CD Texts.

This unit is also compatible with MP3 and WMA discs. For details about these discs, refer to “A Guide to MP3/WMA” (separate volume).

About MP3 and WMA discs

MP3 and WMA (Windows Media® Audio) "tracks" (the word "file" is not used to indicate MP3 or WMA files, "track" is used in this manual) are recorded in "folders."

During recording, the tracks and folders can be arranged in a way similar to arranging files and folders of computer data.

"Root" is similar to the root of a tree. Every track and folder can be linked to and be accessed from the root.

Playing a disc

1 Open the control panel.

Note on One-Touch Operation:

When a disc is already in the loading slot, pressing CD/CD-CH turns on the unit and starts playback automatically.

2 Insert a disc into the loading slot.

The unit draws the disc, the control panel goes back to the previous position (see page 54), and playback starts automatically.

All tracks will be played repeatedly until you stop playback.

Note:

For details on playable discs and other related information, see page 74.

About mistracking:

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 play while driving on such rough roads.

To stop play and eject the disc

Press ▲ (eject).

Disc play stops and the control panel moves down. The disc automatically ejects from the loading slot. The source changes to the previously selected source.

- If you change the source or turn the power off, disc play also stops (without ejecting the disc). Next time you select "CD" as the source or turn the power on, disc play starts from where playback has been stopped previously.

To return the control panel to its previous position, press ▲ (eject) again.

- If you keep the loading slot fully open for about 1 minute, (beeps sound when the "Beep" setting is turned "On"—see page 49) the control panel automatically returns to its previous position.

Be careful not to get the disc or your finger caught in between the control panel and the unit.

Notes:

• If the ejected disc is not removed for about 15 seconds, the disc is automatically inserted again into the loading slot to protect it from dust. (Disc play will not start this time.)
• You can eject the disc even when the unit is turned off.

What is ImageLink?

Loved Ones

What is Image Converter?

Image Converter is JVC's original software used to create customized images for display on your JVC Car Audio.

Here is a basic procedure for making a CD-R that includes still images (pictures) and animations (movies) using Image Converter.

In this manual, we only explain how to export the files (still images and animations) to the built-in memory of this unit—step 5 below.

- For the other processes (from steps 1 to 4 below), refer to Image Converter's Operation Guide (PDF files included in the "Manual" folder of the supplied CD-ROM).

1 Install / Start the program

Install Image Converter on your PC.

2 Import the images

Import the source images from the Image Converter CD-ROM or from other equipment like a digital camera or a digital video camera.

3 Retouch and edit the images

Retouch the images like trimming or adjusting color, editing the animation effect, and adding the texts.

4 Write your images onto a CD-R

Write the animations or the still images you made with Image Converter using your CD-R writing software.

You have to write the images you made onto a CD-R to enjoy the images on your Car Audio.

• To write data onto a CD-R, refer also to the instruction of your CD-R writing software.

5 Enjoy the animations or the still images you made on your Car Audio

Export the images to your JVC Car Audio from the CD-R you made.

Downloading images and animations

Before starting the following procedure, prepare a CD-R including still images (pictures) and animations (movies).

- The supplied Image Converter CD-ROM includes sample images and animations, so you can use this disc for your first trial.

IMPORTANT:

• Still images (pictures) should have , and animations (movies) should have as their extension code in their file names.
• Downloading a file can be done only while selecting "CD" as the source; on the other hand, deleting a file can be done while selecting any source.
• Before you download or erase the files, observe the following:
• Do not download a file while driving.
• Do not turn off the ignition key of the car while downloading or erasing a file.*
• Do not detach the control panel while downloading or erasing a file.*

* If you do it, the file download and erasure will not be done correctly. In this case, perform the same procedure again.

• If you have already downloaded an animation for “Opening,” “Ending,” or “Movie,” downloading a new animation deletes the previously stored animation.
• It takes a long time for the unit to download an animation.
• About 6 to 7 seconds for a still image (one frame).
• About 3 to 4 minutes for an animation of 30 frames.
• About 10 minutes for an animation of 90 frames.

- While a station (or service for the DAB tuner) is being tuned in by one of the Standby Reception modes such as TA or PTY, you cannot download or delete a file. On the other hand, while you are downloading or deleting a file, Standby Reception mode will not work to have this unit tune in a station (or service). It only works after download or deletion is over.

1 Open the control panel.

2 Insert a CD-R with the files (images and animations you made with Image Converter) into the loading slot.

The unit draws the disc, the control panel goes back to the previous position (see page 54).

- If the disc includes playable audio files such as MP3 tracks, playback starts automatically.

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.”

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.

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 CD, CD changer, or external component is the current source.

1 Select the DAB tuner.

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

FM/AM ↔ DAB

How to handle discs

When removing a disc from its case, press down the center holder of the case and lift the disc out, holding it by the edges.

from its case, press down the center holder of the case and lift the disc out, holding it by the edges.

Center holder

• 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 be played correctly. If a disc does become dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.

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.

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.

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

• Use only "finalized" CD-Rs or CD-RWs.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, and for the following reasons:

– Discs are dirty or scratched. – Moisture condensation on the lens inside the unit. – The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular CDs.
• CD-Rs or CD-RWs are susceptible to high temperatures or high humidity, so do not leave them inside your car.
• 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 humidity may cause malfunctions or damage to discs. For example,

• Stickers or labels may shrink and warp a disc.
• Stickers or labels may peel off so discs cannot be ejected.

– Print on discs may get sticky.

Read instructions or cautions about labels and printable discs carefully.

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