2 FM Radio operations DAB operations To turn on the unit Input using the numbered buttons To select a number greater than 5 e.g. 7: [TUNER/BAND] 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. To adjust the volume 0 (Minimum) VOL (Maximum) [MENU] [ENTER/ DAB structure Band There are two types of DAB bands, BAND III (Receivable on this unit) and L BAND (Not broadcast in the UK, and 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 November, 2005). 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. Manual tuning and Auto tuning ENSEMBLE Manual tuning FM radio stations can be tuned manually by selecting the station's frequency. STATION 1 STATION 2 STATION 3 STATION 4 PRIMARY SERVICE PRIMARY SERVICE PRIMARY SERVICE PRIMARY SERVICE F M MHz SECONDARY SERVICE 1 SECONDARY SERVICE 1 Select FM Select frequency SECONDARY SERVICE 2 Auto tuning The unit scans for a station automatically. Select Select FM TUNE AUTO ADJUST TUNE To cancel auto tuning, select MANUAL TUNE in the AUTO TUNE selection above. Auto tuning may not function when there is excessive interference. Preset tuning To preset Tune to the station you want to set as the preset. To select a channel Radio stations can be preset into channels to make it easy to tune. You can preset up to 10 FM channels. and hold the desired numbered button for more than 1 second To select a number greater than 5 e.g. 7: and press and hold F M MHz PROGRAM c h 3 The station occupying a channel is erased if another station is preset over that channel. Select FM To select a number greater than 5 Spin the tuning control e.g. 7: 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. 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. 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 5). 3
