Adjusting the volume To switch on, turn the on/off & volume control to the right. Press the DAB select button. When DAB mode is selected for the first time, the DISPLAY will illuminate and ‘Welcome to DAB’ will be displayed. The DAB+ digital radio will automatically begin to scan for stations. The screen shown below is displayed. A bar graph indicates the progress of the search. Progress bar Signal strength symbol

When the scan is complete, the DAB+ digital radio will select the first available station - stations are listed in numerical then alphabetical order. The station list is retained in memory so the next time you switch the DAB+ digital radio on, the station search does not take place. If there are no stations found, check that adequate DAB coverage exists in your area. It is possible to perform a manual scan for stations, see Manual Tune on page 16.

To increase the volume, turn the volume control to the right. To decrease the volume, tum the volume control to the left. Tone dial The tone dial is used to alter the audio output of the DAB+ digital radio between a high (treble) and low (bass) frequency range. Turn the tuning control right to enhance the high frequency (treble) content of the sound output. Turn the tuning control left to enhance the low frequency (bass) content of the sound output. Scanning for DAB stations Due to the nature of DAB radio, additional stations and services regularly become available. If you wish to see if there have been any new DAB stations introduced in your area you can initiate a search. Press the AUTO button to activate a local search for stations. The DAB+ digital radio will automatically begin to scan for stations. The screen shown below is displayed. A bar graph indicates the progress of the search and the number of stations found as the scan progresses.

Progress bar Number of stations found

Changing DAB stations Press the ► and ◄ buttons to scroll up and down the list of available stations. The station names will appear on line 3 of the display. When the desired station is displayed, press SELECT. The DAB+ digital radio will tune to that station.6 Using your DAB+ Radio Station display symbols

Selecting a preset station You may see same symbols displayed alongside the station names. These are defined as follows: ? Displayed before the station name if the station is not available or not active. >> Displayed after the station name indicate that this is a primary station with secondary services. << Displayed before the station name indicate that this is a secondary station.

To select presets 1-5, press the relevant preset button. To select presets 6-10, hold down the SHIFT button and then press the relevant preset button. If you have not already stored a DAB station in one of the presets, ‘Empty preset’ will be displayed. The display will revert to the previously selected station after a few seconds. Storing DAB presets Reset Note: Each preset button holds two presets. For example, the 1/6 preset button, on the DAB+ digital radio, holds preset positions 1 and 6. You can preset up to 10 DAB stations for easy access as follows:

1. Tune to the station you wish to preset.

2. Press and hold one of the preset buttons

(e.g. 1/6), located on the top of the DAB+ digital radio. ‘Preset # saved’ will appear on the second line of the display, where # is the number of the preset position.

3. To save to preset positions 6-10, hold

down the SHIFT button then press and hold the desired preset button. If you have already saved a DAB station in that preset location, it will be over-written with the new station. You can delete all of the preset stations and return the DAB+ digital radio to its factory settings as follows:

Multiplex name This will show the multiplex that is broadcasting the programmer you are listening to. Time and date This displays the time and date and is provided by the broadcaster, so will be accurate. Channel and frequency This displays the channel number and the transmission frequency. Signal information This shows the digital bit-rate and the signal mode. Signal error rate If the transmission signal contains errors the system can apply correction. The amount of signal correction can be displayed as a numerical value between 0 and 99. As the value increases, you will hear the signal degrade. To improve reception, try adjusting the position of the aerial.

5. Press SELECT button.

A rectangle will be displayed on the second line of the display. The position of this rectangle indicates the signal strength (the further towards the right, the greater the signal strength).

6. Adjust the position of the aerial to obtain

the optimum signal strength.

DRC adds or removes a degree of compression to compensate for the differences in the dynamic range between radio stations. For example, a station broadcasting popular music may have a high level of compression applied since the emphasis is on a constant high listening level, whereas a station broadcasting classical music will have little or no compress ion as the listener requires all of the highs and lows in the music to define the detail. There are three levels of compression: DRC 0: no compression applied. DRC 1: maximum compression applied (this is the default). DRC 1/2: medium compression applied. The best way to determine which of these settings suits you best is to experiment with them on a variety of source material.

Yes Version This is only provided as an engineer’s reference in the unlikely event that servicing should ever be necessary. Press the MENU button to access the menu control. Press either the ► or ◄ button until ‘Sw version’ is displayed. The version number will appear on line 2.10 Using the AM/FM Radio Switching to AM/FM mode

Tone dial If the DAB+ digital radio is in DAB mode, press the desired frequency band button (AM or FM). You may hear background noise as no station has been tuned in. The display looks like the image shown below.

The tone dial is used to alter the audio output of the DAB+ digital radio between a high (treble) and low (bass) frequency range. Turn the tuning control right to enhance the high frequency (treble) content of the sound output. Turn the tuning control left to enhance the low frequency (bass) content of the sound output. Tuning the radio To tune into a radio broadcast/station turn the tuning control left or right until the pointer is aligned with the desired frequency markings on the tuning dial (see below). When the pointer is horizontal you have reached either the start or end of the frequency range. Do not attempt to force the dial further in the same direction.

The signal from another home entertainment system can be connected to the digital radio via 3.5 mm aux in socket on the right hand side of the digital radio. You will require a stereo cable with connectors which match the sockets on your other audio device. Adjust the desired volume level by tuning the volume control of the digital radio.

Volume dial When the DAB+ digital radio is switched on, either turn the volume dial right to increase the volume, or left to decrease the volume.11 Troubleshooting

If you believe that something is wrong with your DAB+ digital radio, first check the points listed below. There Is no sound from my radio Check that the volume is not set to the minimum. Make sure that the radio has been able to locate DAB/AM/FM stations. The display shows ‘no services available’ in DAB mode Make sure that DAB coverage easts in your area. Try adjusting the position of the aerial or location of the radio. Poor reception As with any radio service, there will be areas of weak signal that may cause poor reception. Follow the instructions for manual tuning on page 16 and adjust the aerial while monitoring the signal strength until the optimum signal is obtained. If reception is still poor, try re* locating the radio to another part of the room. I cannot access secondary services At the time of publishing this manual, not many secondary services are available in the Australia. This will increase as more DAB stations start broadcasting. If a secondary service station is available, the secondary indicator ‘»‘ will be displayed next to the station name.

The display goes blank, saying

This may occur if a broadcaster changes the label of a service or removes a label whilst you are listening to the station. The radio will try to re-tune to the station. Alternatively, perform a scan by pressing the AUTO button. I cannot hear the station I have selected The station you are listening to is displayed on line 2. Line 3 shows the selected option, but you have to press the SELECT button to tune to the selected station. I hear distortion on some stations This is due to a weak signal. Re-positioning the aerial to gain maximum signal strength. If the trouble persists, consult your dealer or contact the Customer Helpline.12
