TECHNISAT DigitRadio 4 C - Setting up the device - 1

ution!:

Do not place the radio on soft surfaces such as carpets and blankets, or near to curtains and wall hangings. These could obstruct the ventilation openings. The necessary flow of air could be interrupted as a result. This could potentially lead to fire in the device.
Do not place the radio near to sources of heat, such as radiators. Avoid direct sunlight and very dusty environments.
Do not select a location for the device with high air humidity, e.g. a kitchen or sauna, since condensation could damage the device. The device is intended for use in a dry environment and in a moderate climate and must not be exposed to dripping or splashing water.

Please note that the device feet could leave coloured marks on some types of furniture surfaces in certain situations. Place a protective layer between your furniture and the device.
Keep the DIGITRADIO 4 C away from devices that generate intense magnetic fields.
Do not place any heavy objects on the device.
If you move the device from a cold environment to a hot environment, moisture could accumulate inside the device. In this case, wait approximately one hour before putting it into operation.
Route the mains cable in such a way that nobody can trip over it.
Ensure that the mains cable or the power supply unit are always easily accessible, so that the device can be quickly disconnected from the power supply!
The power outlet should be as close to the device as possible.
To ensure connection to the mains, insert the plug fully into the socket.
Use a suitable, easy-to-access mains connection and avoid using multiple socket strips!
Do not touch the mains plug with wet hands; electric shock hazard!
In the case of malfunctions or detecting smoke or odour from the housing, remove the plug from the power outlet immediately!
Remove the plug if the device is not going to be used for a prolonged period, e.g. before going away on a long trip.
If the device is not to be used for a long time, remove the batteries since they could leak and damage the device. If the remote control range reduces, change the battery.
Excessive volume, in particular when using headphones, can damage the hearing.

The following operations are all explained using the buttons on the remote control. Press the relevant buttons on the device if you want to carry out the function on the device.

7 DAB+ (digital radio) function

7.1 What are DAB+ and DAB+ Cable?

DAB+ is a new digital format through which crystal clear sound with no noise can be heard. In contrast to conventional analogue radio stations, DAB+ can be used to broadcast multiple stations on one and the same frequency. This is referred to as an ensemble or multiplex. An ensemble is comprised of the radio station, as well as several service components or data services which are broadcast individually by the radio stations. For further information, please visit e.g. www.dabplus.de or www.dabplus.ch.

Furthermore, the DIGITRADIO 4 C can also receive DAB+ stations via the cable connection. More and more cable network providers are feeding DAB+ stations into their cable network. Ask your cable network provider whether DAB+ stations can already be received at your location. To receive DAB+ cable stations, connect the antenna connection of the DIGITRADIO 4 C to your cable connection socket and perform a station search.

7.1.1 Data compression

By doing so, digital radio takes advantage of the properties of human hearing. The human ear does not perceive sounds under a specific minimum volume. Data under the so-called audibility threshold can, therefore, be filtered out. This is possible since, within a digital data stream, the relevant relative volume for other units is saved for every unit of information. Moreover, at a specific threshold, the quieter parts within an audio signal are blocked out by the louder parts. All the sound information below the threshold of hearing in a piece of music can be filtered out of the signal to be broadcast.

This leads to a reduction of data in the data stream to be transmitted, with no perceptible difference in sound for the listener (HE AAC v2 process as a supplementary codification process for DAB+).

7.1.2 Audio stream

With digital radio, audio streams are continuous data streams which contain the MPEG 1 audio layer 2 frames and thereby represent acoustic information. This enables standard radio channels to be broadcast and listened to on the receiver side. Digital radio provides you with not only radio in excellent sound quality but also additional information. This may refer to the programme being broadcast or be independent information (e.g. news, weather, traffic, tips).

7.2 DAB+ (digital radio) reception

Press the MODE button until [DAB] is shown on the display.

TECHNISAT DigitRadio 4 C - DAB+ (digital radio) reception - 1

If DAB+ is being started for the first time, a complete station scan is performed. After the scan is complete, the first station is played back in alphanumeric order.

7.2.1 Performing a full scan

TECHNISAT DigitRadio 4 C - Performing a full scan - 1

The automatic scan Full scan scans all DAB+ Band III stations and thereby finds all stations being broadcast within the reception range.
