By receiving the RDS data, this unit can do the following:  
• Programme Type (PTY) Search  
• Standby Reception of Traffic Announcement (TA) or your favorite programme (PTY)  
• Programme Search

What is DAB system?  
DAB 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”). A typical ensemble has 6  
or more programmes (services) broadcast at the same time.  
It is recommended to use DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) tuner KT-DB1500 or  
KT-DB1000 with this unit. If you have another DAB tuner, consult your JVC IN-CAR  
ENTERTAINMENT dealer.  
• Refer also to the Instructions supplied with your DAB tuner.

Storing stations in memory  
• The clock in the “BACK” icon on the screen  
works as the time countdown indicator. If no  
operation is done for a certain period of time,  
the current screen goes off, and the source  
operation screen resumes.  
• When SSM is carried out for a band...  
– All stations previously stored for the band  
are erased and stations are stored newly.  
– Received stations are preset in the number  
buttons No.1 (lowest frequency) to No.6  
(highest frequency). When SSM is over, the  
station stored in number button 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.  
• Preset stations are erased when the power  
supply to the memory circuit is interrupted  
(for example, during battery replacement). If  
this occurs, preset the stations again.  
Selecting the source  
• If a disc is not loaded, you cannot select  
“CD” for the playback source.  
• Without connecting the CD changer, you  
cannot select “CD-CH (CD changer)” for the  
playback source.  
• To select the external component for the  
playback source, set the “Ext Input” setting  
correctly (page 37).

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW  
Basic Disc Operations  
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.  
• 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 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.  
• Do not use 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.  
General  
• This unit has been designed to reproduce  
CDs/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/  
CD-RWs (Rewritable) in both audio and  
MP3/WMA formats.  
• The unit cannot read or play an MP3 track  
without the extension code <mp3>, and a  
WMA track without the extension code  
<wma>.  
• When a disc has been already loaded,  
selecting “CD” for the playback source starts  
disc play.  
Inserting a disc  
• When a disc is inserted upside down, the disc  
automatically ejects.  
• If you keep the control panel open for about 1  
minute, the control panel returns to its  
previous position.  
Playing 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.  
• While playing an audio CD: If a title has been  
assigned to the audio CD (see page 41), it  
will be shown on the display.  
• While fast-forwarding or reversing on an  
MP3 or WMA disc, you can only hear  
intermittent sounds. (The elapsed playing  
time also changes intermittently on the  
display.)  
Changing the source  
• If you change the source, playback also stops  
(without ejecting the disc).  
Next time you select “CD” for the playback  
source, disc play starts from where it has  
been stopped previously.

ImageLink  
Storing your own sound modes  
• ImageLink will not work in the following  
cases:  
– If no <jll> file is included in an MP3/WMA  
folder.  
– If Intro Scan is activated.  
– If the source is changed to another from  
“CD.”  
• If you do not want to store your current  
adjustment, but only to apply the adjustment  
to the current playback source, press  
“BACK” repeatedly to go back to the  
operation screen of the current source.  
Adjustment you made remains effective until  
you select a sound mode.  
– If more than one <jll> file are included in a  
folder, a file with the youngest file number  
is used for the graphic screen.  
Graphic Displays  
Ejecting a disc  
Downloading (or deleting) files  
• If the ejected disc is not removed within 15  
seconds, the disc is automatically inserted  
again into the loading slot to prevent it from  
dust. (Disc will not play this time.)  
You can download a file only while selecting  
“CD” for the playback source; on the other  
hand, you can delete a file while selecting  
any source.  
• If you have already downloaded an animation  
for “OPENING,” “ENDING,” or “MOVIE,”  
downloading a new animation deletes the  
previously stored animation.  
Advanced Disc Operations  
• It takes a long time to download an animation.  
– About 3 to 4 seconds for a still image (one  
frame).  
– About 1 to 2 minutes for an animation of 30  
frames.  
Locating a track or on a disc  
You can skip 10 tracks at a time only if there  
are more than 10 tracks in a disc or in a  
folder.  
– About 4 minutes for an animation of 90  
frames.  
Sound Adjustment  
• If a disc inserted does not include any <jll>  
and <jla> files, beeps sound when you try to  
operate the downloading procedure.  
• If you try to store a 31st image for picture  
screen, “Picture Full” appears and you cannot  
start downloading. Delete unwanted files  
before downloading.  
• If the total frame number of an animation  
downloaded exceeds the following number,  
the frames exceeding that numbers are  
ignored.  
General  
• If you are using a two-speaker system, set the  
fader level to “00.”  
• Subwoofer out setting takes effect only when  
a subwoofer is connected.  
You cannot make the input level—Volume  
Adjustment—of the FM stations. If the  
source is FM, “Fix” will appear when you try  
to adjust it.  
– For “OPENING” and “ENDING”: 30  
– For “MOVIE”: 90

General Settings—PSM  
DAB Tuner Operations  
• “Auto Dimmer” may not work correctly on  
some vehicles, particularly on those having a  
control dial for dimming. In this case, change  
the “Dimmer” setting to any one other than  
“Auto.”  
• If LCD Type” is set to “Auto,” the display  
pattern will change to the “Negative” or  
“Positive” pattern depending on the  
Dimmer” setting  
• PTY Standby Reception works for the DAB  
tuner only using a Dynamic PTY, but not a  
Static PTY.  
• TA Standby Reception for FM RDS station  
and Road Traffic News Standby Reception  
for DAB cannot be set separately. The T/P  
button always work for the both Standby  
Reception modes when the DAB tuner is  
connected.  
• If you change the “Amp Gain” setting from  
“High PWR” to “Low PWR” while the  
volume level is set higher than “Volume 30,”  
the unit automatically changes the volume  
level to “Volume 30.”  
Characters shown on the display  
In addition to the Roman alphabets (A – Z,  
a –z), the following characters will be used  
to show the various information on the  
display.  
Other Main Functions  
You can also use the following characters  
to assign titles (see page 41).  
Assigning titles to the sources  
Upper case  
Lower case  
• When you try to assign a title to a 41st disc,  
“Name Full” appears and you cannot enter  
the text entry mode. Delete unwanted titles  
before assignment.  
• When the CD changer is connected, you can  
assign titles to CDs in the CD changer. These  
titles can also be shown on the display if you  
insert the CDs in this unit.  
Numbers and symbols  
About mistracking:  
Mistracking may result from driving on extremely rough roads. This does not damage the unit  
and the disc, but will be annoying.  
It is recommend to stop disc play while driving on such rough roads.
