What you can do with RDS EON

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 “EON (Enhanced Other Networks).” The EON indicator lights up while receiving an FM station with the EON data. By using the EON data sent from a station, you can tune into 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.

By receiving the RDS signals, 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
    • TP (Traffic 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 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 the next page.)

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.

Automatic selection of the station when using the number buttons

Usually when you press the number button, the preset station is tuned in.

However, when the preset station is an RDS station, something different will happen. If the signals from that preset station are not sufficient for good reception, this unit, using the AF data, tunes in another frequency broadcasting the same programme as the original preset station is broadcasting. In case no other station is tuned in, you can also search all receivable frequencies for the same programme. (Programme search) To activate programme search, follow the procedure below.

  • Programme search takes a while.
    • See also “Changing the general settings” on page 26.

  • Press and hold SEL (select) for more than 2 seconds to call up the general setting mode.

  • Press ∧ ►►I or ♥◄ to select "P(programme)-SEARCH."
  • Select "ON" by turning the control dial clockwise.

Now programme search is activated.

To cancel programme search, repeat the same procedure and select "OFF" in step 3 by turning the control dial counterclockwise.

This section is ONLY FOR KS-FX650R, when used with a JVC DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) tuner (separately purchased). We recommend that you use DAB tuner KT-DB1500 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.

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”.

With the DAB tuner connected with this unit, you can enjoy these DAB services.

Tuning into an ensemble and one of the services

A typical ensemble has 6 or more programmes (services) broadcast at the same time. After tuning into an ensemble, you can select a service you want to listen to.

- Clean the heads after every 10 hours of use using a wet-type head cleaning tape (available at an audio store).

When the head becomes dirty, you may realize the following symptoms:

– Sound quality is reduced.
- Sound level decreases.
- Sound drops out.

  • Do not play dirty or dusty tapes.
  • Do not touch the highly-polished head with any metallic or magnetic tools.
    • Always store the tapes to their storage cases after use.
  • Do not store tapes in the following places:

– Subject to direct sunlight
- With high humidity
- At extremely hot temperatures

CAUTIONS:

  • Do not play the tapes with peeling labels; otherwise, they can damage the unit.
  • Tighten tapes to remove slack since loose tape may become entangled with the mechanism.
  • Do not leave a cassette in the cassette compartment after use, as the tape may become slack.

The function below is also provided to ensure the longer life of this unit.

Ignition key-off Release/Ignition key-on play

  • When you turn off the ignition key with a cassette in the compartment, the unit automatically releases the tape from its head.
  • When you turn on the ignition key with a cassette in the compartment, playback automatically starts.
