Introduction
We would like to thank you for purchasing one of our JVC products.
Before operating this unit, read this manual carefully and thoroughly to
obtain the best possible performance from your unit, and retain this manual
for future reference.
About This Manual
This manual is organized as follows:
• The manual mainly explains operations using the
buttons and controls on the unit. You can also use the
buttons on the remote control if they have the same or
similar names (or marks) as those on the unit.
If operation using the remote control is different from
that using the unit, it is then explained.
• Basic and common information that is the same for many
functions is grouped in one place, and is not repeated in
each procedure. For instance, we do not repeat the
information about turning on/offthe unit, setting the
volume, changing the sound effects, and others, which are
explained in the section "Common Operations" on pages
10 to 12.
• The following marks are used in this manual:
Gives you warnings and cautions to prevent
from damage or risk of fire/electric shock.
Also gives you information which is not good
for obtaining the best possible performance
from the unit.
Gives you information and hints you had better
know.

ReceivingFMStationswithRDS(OnlyforCA-HXZ1R)ooo,,oueo
RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to send an
additional signal along with their regular program signals.
For example, the stations send their station names, as well as
information about what type of program they broadcast, such
as sports or music, etc.
When tuning in to an FM station which provides the RDS
service, the RDS indicator lights up on the display.
With the unit, you can receive the following types of RDS
signals.
PS (Program Service):
Shows commonly known station names.
PTY (Program Type):
Shows types of broadcast programs.
RT (Radio Text):
Shows text messages the station sends.
Enhanced Other Networks:
Provides the information about the types of the programs
sent by other RDS stations.
_More about RDS
•Some FM stations do not provide RDS signals.
• RDS services vary among FM RDS stations. For details on RDS
services in your area, check with local radio stations.
• RDS may not work correctly if the received station is not
transmitting the signals properly or if the signal strength is weak.
Changing the RDS Information
You can see RDS information on the display while listening
to an FM station.

"NO PS," "NO PTY,"or "NO RT" appears on the display.
•If the unit takes time to show the RDS information received
from a station
"WAIT PS," "WAIT PTY,"or "WAIT RT" may appears on the
display.
SearchingforProgramsbyPTYCodes
(PTYSearch)
One of the advantages of RDS is that you can locate a
particular kind of program by specifying the PTY codes.
• For details on the PTY codes, see "Additional Information"
on page 29.
To search for a program using the PTY codes
REMEMBER you must preset FM RDS stations to use the
PTY codes. If not yet done, see page 13.
