Preparing the DAB tuning
Model For
U.K., Europe, Russia and Australia
Before listening to DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) radio, perform an initial scan to register the DAB radio
stations automatically.
1
Switch the input to "TUNER".
2
Press the TUNER key to select the DAB band.
After 3 seconds, the initial scan starts. When the initial scan finishes, this product
automatically tunes in to the first DAB radio station in order by frequency.
NOTE
DAB uses digital signals for clearer sound and more stable reception compared to analog signals. This product can also receive
(
DAB+ (an upgraded version of DAB) that allows for more stations using MPEG-4 HE-AAC v2 audio codec, which has a more efficient
transmission method.
Be sure to check the DAB coverage in your area in that not all areas are currently being covered. For a list of nationwide DAB
(
statuses and worldwide DAB frequencies, check WorldDMB online at http://www.worlddab.org/.
If no DAB radio stations are found by an initial scan, the front display will change to "Off Air".
(
To perform an initial scan again after some DAB radio stations are stored, select "Init Scan" in the Option menu. If you perform an
(
initial scan again, the DAB radio stations currently registered to the preset numbers will be cleared.
You can check reception strength of each DAB channel label. Select "Tune AID" in the Option menu.
