To temporarily switch to a broadcast program of your choice
Enhanced Other Network mode is another convenient RDS service that allows this Unit to switch temporarily to a broadcast program of your choice (TA News and/or Info) from the currently selected station, except if you are listening to a non-RDS station (all AM (MW) stations or some FM stations). The Enhanced Other Network function is only applicable to the preset stations. (See page 13.) If an FM station does not broadcast Enhanced Other Network mode information, Enhanced Other Network cannot be activated. To select a program type

TA/News /Info

Select the program type by pressing the TA/News/Info button while listening to an FM station.
Each time you press the button, the respective program type indicators light on the display as follows, and the Unit enters Enhanced Other Network standby mode. TA = News = Info = TA News = News Info = TA Info = TA News Info = OFF = (back to the beginning) TA: NEWS: INFO: OFF: Traffic Announcement News Programs on medical service, weather forecast, etc. Enhanced Other Network is canceled.
During searching, the selected program type indicator blinks on the display. To stop listening to the program by Enhanced Other Network, press the TA/News/Info button repeatedly again. So that the program type (TA, News and/or Info) indicator goes off from the display. The Unit exit from Enhanced Other Network standby mode and goes back to the previously selected station.
FS-X5(B)_E.book Page 16 Friday, March 28, 2003 2:49 PM
Case 1: If there is no station broadcasting the program type you have selected The broadcast station being currently heard will continue to be heard. When a station starts broadcasting the program you have selected, this Unit automatically switches to the station. The program type (TA, News and/or Info) indicator starts blinking. When the program is over, END appears on the display and the Unit goes back to the currently selected station, but the Enhanced Other Network still remains in standby mode. Case 2: If there is a station broadcasting the program type you have selected This Unit tunes to the station broadcasting the program. The program type (TA, News and/or Info) indicator starts blinking. When the program is over, END appears on the display and the Unit goes back to the currently selected station, but the Enhanced Other Network still remains in standby mode. If the FM station you are listening to is broadcasting the program type you have selected The Unit tunes to the station but the program type (TA, News and/or Info) indicator starts blinking. When the program is over, END appears on the display, the program type (TA, News and/or Info) indicator stops blinking and remains lit, but the Enhanced Other Network still remains in standby mode. Alarm function If an Alarm! (Emergency) signal is received from a station while listening to an RDS station sending the Enhanced Other Network data, the Unit automatically switches to the station broadcasting the Alarm! signal. Test function The TEST signal is used for testing the Alarm! signal. Therefore, it makes the Unit work in the same way as the Alarm! signal does. If a TEST signal is received from a station while listening to an RDS station sending the Enhanced Other Network data, the Unit automatically switches to the station broadcasting the TEST signal. Case 3:

More about the Enhanced Other Network function The Enhanced Other Network data sent from some stations may not be compatible with this Unit. While listening to a program tuned in by this function, the station does not change even if another network station starts broadcasting a program of the same Enhanced Other Network data. While listening to a program tuned in by this function, you can only use the TA/News/Info button and the RDS DISPLAY button as the tuner operation buttons. If you press any other button, LOCKED! appears on the display. If the station alternate intermittently between the station tuned by this function and the currently tuned station (WAITING blinks on the display), press the TA/News/Info button to cancel the function. If you do not press the button, the currently tuned station is received finally (NOT FOUND appears this time), and the indication of the Enhanced Other Network data type blinking on the display disappears.
When the sound alternated intermittently between the station tuned in by the Enhanced Other Network function and the current selected station, cancel the Enhanced Other Network mode. This does not constitute malfunction of the Unit.

JVCs COMPU PLAY feature lets you control the most frequently used System functions with a single touch. With One Touch Operation you can play a CD, turn on the radio, or listen to an external equipment with a single press of the play button for that function. One Touch Operation turns the power on for you, then starts the function you have specified. If the System is not ready (no CD in place), the System still powers on so you can insert a CD. How One Touch Operation works in each case is explained in the section dealing with that function. The COMPU PLAY buttons are:
