To activate TA Standby Reception
The TP (Traffic Programme) indicator
either lights up or flashes.
• If the TP indicator lights up, TA Standby Reception is
activated.
• If the TP indicator flashes, TA Standby Reception is
not yet activated. (This occurs when you are listening
to an FM station without the RDS signals required for
TA Standby Reception.)
To activate TA Standby Reception, tune in to another
station providing these signals. The TP indicator will
stop flashing and remain lit.
To deactivate the TA Standby Reception
The TP indicator goes off.
PTY Standby Reception
PTY Standby Reception allows the unit to switch

DAB tuner operations
What is DAB system?
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.
For tracing the same programme automatically
(Alternative Frequency Reception), it is required to
connect the DAB tune (KT-DB1000) to the CD changer
jack on the rear of this unit.
• See also “DAB AF” on page 15.
It is ecommended to use DAB tune KT-DB1000
with you unit. If you have anothe DAB tune ,
consult you JVC IN-CAR ENTERTAINMENT deale .
• Refer also to the Instructions supplied for your DAB
tuner.
