1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Albrecht DR 866 digital radio.

We have developed a radio with focus on the basic functions that are necessary to enjoy digital radio. It is therefore very easy to use. The radio can be operated intuitively using the controls on the radio or the included remote control.

In addition, screen visualisation has been completely redesigned. The redesigned screen displays only really relevant information, which can now be indicated in a larger font and more clearly.

2. First steps

Fully extend the antenna for the best DAB+/FM radio reception.

Insert the small mains adapter plug into the DC IN socket on the back of the device and plug the mains adapter into a mains socket. Set the ON/OFF switch to "ON" to power on the device.

When you switch on the radio for the very first time, you have to select a language. Afterwards you can activate the "Voice support" function.

Then the device automatically performs a full station search for all available DAB/DAB+ stations in your area. In standby mode the date and time are set automatically as soon as the radio finds a DAB station.

3. Voice support

If you activate the voice support function, all menu entries are read out in the language you have selected. You can select the volume of the voice support in the main menu (see chapter "9. Main menu" on page 20). If you want to deactivate/activate the function at a later time, press and hold the INFO button on the radio for 2 seconds.

15. Senior Mode

The “Senior Mode” simplifies the operation of the Albrecht DR 866 radio. In Senior Mode an incorrect operation of the radio is virtually impossible, because almost all options buttons are disabled. Unintentional radio adjustments are no longer possible.

• On/off switching
• Volume control
  • Favourite stations (number buttons 1-6)

To activate the Senior Mode, open the main menu with the HOME button or the 🔊 button on the remote control and select the senior mode.

Attention! Please note that only six saved favourite stations are available when the senior mode is enabled. Other stations or playback modes can no longer be used. Therefore, make sure you save the desired stations to the favourites in advance.
