DAB tuner operations
What is DAB system?
! Start searching for an ensemble.
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.
When an ensemble is received,
searching stops.
To stop searching, press the
same button again.
⁄ Select a service (either primary or
secondary) to listen to.
By connecting the DAB tuner, this unit can do the
following:
• Tracing the same programme automatically
—Alternative Frequency Reception (see “DAB AF” on
page 14).
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.

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.

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.
Single CD (8 cm disc)
• If a Traffic Announcement is received by TA Standby
Reception, the volume level automatically changes to
the preset level (TA VOL) if the current level is lower
than the preset level.
• When Alternative Frequency Reception is activated
(with AF selected), Network-Tracking Reception is
also activated automatically. On the other hand,
Network-Tracking Reception cannot be deactivated
without deactivating Alternative Frequency
Reception. (See page 13.)
