DIGITAL RADIO

About DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting)

DAB is one of the digital radio broadcasting systems available today. It can deliver digital quality sound without any annoying interference or signal distortion. Furthermore, it can carry text, pictures and data.

In contrast to FM broadcast, where each program is transmitted on its own frequency, DAB combines several programs (called "services") to form one "ensemble".

The "primary component" (main radio station) is sometimes accompanied by a "secondary component" which can contain extra programs or other information.

Preparation:

1 Connect a DAB antenna to the DAB antenna jack. (31)

2 Press DAB to select DAB directly.

3 Press and hold DAB to start the Service List update.

"DAB SORTING" appears and update starts.

Updates take up to 3 minutes. No interruption (such as traffic information) is possible during updates.

- To cancel the Service List update: Press and hold DAB again.

Search for an ensemble

1 Press DAB to select DAB directly. 2 Press to search for an ensemble automatically. (or)

Press and hold until M flashes, then press repeatedly to search for an ensemble manually.

INSTALLATION/CONNECTION

▲ Warning

• The unit can only be used with a 12 V DC power supply, negative ground.
• Disconnect the battery's negative terminal before wiring and mounting.
• Do not connect Battery wire (yellow) and Ignition wire (red) to the car chassis or Ground wire (black) to prevent a short circuit.
• Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape to prevent a short circuit.
• Be sure to ground this unit to the car's chassis again after installation.

Caution

• For safety's sake, leave wiring and mounting to professionals. Consult the car audio dealer. • Install this unit in the console of your vehicle. Do not touch the metal parts of this unit during and shortly after use of the unit. Metal parts such as the heat sink and enclosure become hot.
• Do not connect the wires of speakers to the car chassis or Ground wire (black), or connect them in parallel.
• Connect speakers with a maximum power of more than 50 W. If the maximum power of the speakers is lower than 50 W, change the [AMP GAIN] setting to avoid damaging the speakers. (→19)
• Mount the unit at an angle of less than 30°.
• If your vehicle wiring harness does not have the ignition terminal, connect Ignition wire (red) to the terminal on the vehicle's fuse box which provides 12 V DC power supply and is turned on and off by the ignition key.
• Keep all cables away from heat dissipating metal parts.
• After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps, blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.
• If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires are not touching the car's chassis, then replace the old fuse with one that has the same rating.

Basic procedure

1 Remove the key from the ignition switch, then disconnect the terminal of the car battery. 2 Connect the wires properly. See Wiring connection. (31) 3 Install the unit to your car. See Installing the unit (in-dash mounting). (-30) 4 Connect the terminal of the car battery. 5 Press SOURCE on the power. 6 Detach the faceplate and reset the unit. (3)
