RDS OPERATIONS  
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 data, 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  
Tra cin g th e sa m e p ro g ra m m e a u to m a tica lly (N e tw o rk -  
Tra ck in g Re ce p tio n )  
When driving in an area where FM reception is not good, the tuner built in this unit automatically  
tune 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.  
To use Network-Tracking Reception, press and hold TP RDS (Traffic  
Programme/Radio Data System) for more than 1 second. Each time you  
RDS  
TP  
press and hold the button, Network-Tracking Reception modes change as  
follows:  
Mode 1  
Mode 2  
Mode 3  
AF indicator  
REG indicator

Mode 1  
The AF indicator lights up but the REG indicator does not.  
Network-Tracking is activated with Regionalization set to off.”  
Switches to another station within the same network when the receiving  
signals from the current station become weak.  
Note:  
In this mode, the programme may differ from the one currently received.  
Mode 2  
Both the AF indicator and the REG indicator light up.  
Network-Tracking is activated with Regionalization set to on.”  
Switches to another station, within the same network, broadcasting the same  
programme when the receiving signals from the current station become weak.  
Mode 3  
Neither the AF indicator nor the REG indicator lights up.  
Network-Tracking is deactivated.  
Note:  
If a DAB tuner is connected and Alternative Reception (for DAB services) is activated, Network-Tracking  
Reception is also activated automatically. On the other hand, Network-Tracking Reception cannot be  
deactivated without deactivating Alternative Reception. (See page 43.)  
The same programme can be received on different frequencies.

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.

The followings are the instructions for using RM-RK31.  
Remote sensor  
Before using the remote controller:  
• Aim the remote controller directly at the remote sensor  
on the main unit. Make sure there is no obstacle in  
between.  
• Do not expose the remote sensor to strong light (direct  
sunlight or artificial lighting).  
Installing the battery  
When the controllable range or effectiveness of the remote controller decreases, replace  
the battery.  
1. Remove the battery holder.  
1) Push out in the direction indicated by the arrow  
using a ball point pen or a similar tool.  
2) Remove the battery holder.

Doing any of these things may cause the batteries to give off heat, crack or start a fire.  
• Do not leave the batteries with other metallic materials.  
Doing this may cause the batteries to give off heat, crack or start a fire.  
• When throwing away or saving the batteries, wrap in tape and insulate; otherwise, , it may cause

CD CHANGER OPERATIONS  
We recommend that you use one of the CH-X series with your unit.  
If you have another CD automatic changer, consult your JVC IN-CAR ENTERTAINMENT  
dealer for connections.  
For example, if your CD automatic changer is one of the KD-MK series, you need a cord (KS-U15K)  
for connecting it to this unit.  
Before operating your CD automatic changer:  
• Refer also to the Instructions supplied with your CD changer.  
• If no discs are in the magazine of the CD changer or the discs are inserted upside  
down, “NO DISC” will appear on the display. If this happens, remove the magazine and  
set the discs correctly.  
• If “RESET 1 - RESET 8appears on the display, something is wrong with the connection  
between this unit and the CD changer. If this happens, check the connection, connect  
the connecting cord(s) firmly if necessary, then press the reset button of the CD changer.

DAB TUNER OPERATIONS  
We recommend that you use DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) 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.

You can keep listening to the same program  
While receiving a DAB service:  
When driving in an area where a service cannot be received, this unit automatically tunes in  
another ensemble or FM RDS station broadcasting the same program.  
While receiving an FM RDS station:  
When driving in an area where a DAB service is broadcasting the same program as the FM  
RDS station is broadcasting, this unit automatically tunes into the DAB service.  
Note:  
When reception switches between DAB and FM, the listening volume level may increase or decrease  
inconveniently. This change in the volume level results from unequal audio injection levels at broadcaster  
site, but not from the malfunction of this unit.
