Troubleshooting guide

Before requesting service, make the following checks. If you are in doubt about any of the check points, or if the solutions indicated in the chart do not solve the problem, consult your dealer for instructions.

The reception is poor.There is too much noise and distortion.	Try changing the length and angle of the rod antenna.Inside some buildings and on some means of transport, the signals may be weak, making it hard to hear the stations. In such cases, use the unit as close to the windows as possible.If this unit is used close to another radio, TV, VCR or other electrical appliance, noise may be heard from the resulting mutual interference. Try turning off the power of the radio, TV or VCR, etc. in the vicinity.This unit may not operate properly after it has been moved from a cold location to a warm place. This happens because condensation has formed on the unit's operating parts: The unit will return to normal in about 60 minutes.Noise may be caused if a mobile telephone is brought close to the unit. Use the unit at a distance from mobile telephones.
No sound is heard.	Is the volume control at the lowest position?Adjust the volume level using [VOLUME]
Dry cell batteries were installed in the unit,but the unit won't work.	Is the AC mains lead connected to the unit? To power the unit using the batteries, unplug the AC mains lead from the unit.
When the unit's power is turned on, the “CHANGE BATTERY” message is displayed.	Replace the existing batteries with new ones or use a household mains socket.
The unit's power is not turned off even when the set time is reached.	Is “SLEEP” displayed on the display panel?(page 7)If it is, press [SLEEP] and check the remaining time.
The timer does not work.	Is the timer setting OFF?(page 8, Setting the timer settings to ON).

What is DAB?

DAB stands for digital audio broadcasting. It is a new form of radio that is broadcast digitally. Digital audio provides a superior quality of sound compared to regular analogue broadcasting.

■ DAB structure

Band

There are two types of DAB bands, "BAND III" (Receivable on this unit) and "L BAND" (Not receivable on this unit).

Frequencies

There are 41 frequencies on BAND III. Among those frequencies, 7 are used in the UK (current as of January, 2007).

Ensemble, station and service

The number of stations that make up one frequency differ between DAB and analogue radio. Analogue stations all broadcast on different frequencies, even if it is the same company doing the broadcasting. With DAB however, it is possible to broadcast a number of stations on the same frequency. In DAB terminology, a group of stations on the same frequency is called an ensemble.

graph TD
    A["ENSEMBLE"] --> B["STATION 1 STATION 2 STATION 3 STATION 4"]
    B --> C["PRIMARY SERVICE"]
    B --> D["PRIMARY SERVICE"]
    B --> E["PRIMARY SERVICE SECONDARY SERVICE 1"]
    B --> F["PRIMARY SERVICE SECONDARY SERVICE 1 SECONDARY SERVICE 2"]

As shown in the above diagram, an ensemble consists of a group of stations which have primary services, they can also have secondary services. This means, for example, that commentary on sports events from different areas can all be broadcast at once.

■ DAB reception method on this unit

Depending on the region there is a difference between broadcast frequency and stations broadcast along the same frequency. For this reason, a memory of receivable stations should first be created and then selected from those memorized stations.

DAB Auto Scan

This function searches for currently receivable stations and inputs them into unit memory.

When DAB is selected for the first time, this function starts automatically.

Note

Even if the station is stored into memory, some stations may not broadcast depending on the time of day etc. If this occurs, "NO SERVICE" is displayed.

Station Memory Updating

- When there is a station name change

Station names are updated automatically when a station name that was stored in memory before the update was selected. However preset registered station names are not changed, therefore you need to perform presetting again.

- When a new station begins broadcasting

When a new station name is found on the frequency currently being broadcast, it is automatically added to the list of station names created with Auto scan.

Note

• Deleting stations that are no longer broadcasting is not automatic. If you want to delete a station, perform Auto scan again and the new memory is created.
• When a new frequency begins broadcasting, stations on that new frequency are not automatically added to memory. Perform Auto scan to add them to memory. Also, you may need to change the Auto scan range if the new frequency is outside the factory set Auto scan range (page 7).
