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 CD. By receiving the RDS signals, 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 TA (Traffic Announcement) search And some other functions
Tracing the same programme automatically (NetworkTracking Reception)
When driving in an area where FM reception is not good, the tuner built in this unit automatically tunes 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 signals are used to make Network-Tracking Reception work correctly PI (Programme Identification) and AF (Alternative Frequency) data. Without receiving these data correctly from the RDS station you are listening to, NetworkTracking 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 press and hold the button, Network-Tracking Reception modes change as follows:

Mode 1

Mode 2

Mode 3

Mode 1 (AF:on / REG:off) 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 (AF:on / REG:on) 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 (AF:off / REG:off) Network-Tracking is deactivated.

The same programme can be received on different frequencies.
Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency E Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency A
Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency B
Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency C
Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency D

Using Standby Reception

Standby Reception allows the unit to switch temporarily to your favorite programme (PTY: Programme Type) and Traffic Announcement (TA) from the current source (another FM station and TAPE (or CD for KS-FX740R/FX640R)). Note: Standby Reception will not work if you are listening to an AM station.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

To prevent short circuits, we recommend that you disconnect the batterys negative terminal and make all electrical connections before installing the unit. If you are not sure how to install this unit correctly, have it installed by a qualified technician. Note: This unit is designed to operate on 12 volts DC, NEGATIVE ground electrical systems. If your vehicle does not have this system, a voltage inverter is required, which can be purchased at JVC IN-CAR ENTERTAINMENT dealers. Replace the fuse with one of the specified rating. If the fuse blows frequently, consult your JVC IN-CAR ENTERTAINMENT dealer. If noise is a problem. This unit incorporates a noise filter in the power circuit. However, with some vehicles, clicking or other unwanted noise may occur. If this happens, connect the units rear ground terminal (See connection diagram below.) to the cars chassis using shorter and thicker cords, such as copper braiding or gauge wire. If noise still persists, consult your JVC IN-CAR ENTERTAINMENT dealer. Maximum input of the speakers should be more than 40 watts at the rear and 40 watts at the front, with an impedance of 4 to 8 ohms. Be sure to ground this unit to the cars chassis. The heat sink becomes very hot after use. Be careful not to touch it when removing this unit.
