DAB TUNER OPERATIONS

ENGLISH

We recommend that you use DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) tuner KT-DB1500 or KT-DB1000 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.”

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 tape, 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.

DAB FM/AM

2 Select the DAB band (DAB1, DAB2, or DAB3).

Each time you press the

button, the DAB band

changes as follows:

DAB1 DAB2 DAB3

Note:

This receiver has three DAB bands (DAB1, DAB2, DAB3). You can use any of them to tune in to an ensemble.
