USING THE DAB TUNER
AUTOTUNE FEATURES
The nature of DAB radio means that service line ups are changing
constantly as more secondary order stations become available.
If you are happy listening to your chosen radio stations, there may never be
the need to establish if any new primary or secondary stations have become
available.
It is possible to instigate returning of your CDAB-1 tuner to redefine the
service list of stations in your area.
To do this simply press the Autotune button, this will activate a local search
for stations on band 3 in the UK only. As band 3 contains channels not
allocated to the UK, to include a process to scan for all of these would
only add unnecessary time to this function. A search in the UK should
take approximately 20 seconds. If your CDAB-1 is being used in an area
operating on band 3 outside of the UK, then the available channels can be
scanned by holding down the Autotune button for a period longer than 2
seconds. This search will take approximately 60 seconds but will build a
station list including these other band 3 channels.
USING THE FM TUNER
GETTING STARTED
To switch to FM mode, press the DAB/FM button once.
The LCD display will show:
DAB
In FM mode the 'FM' letters will be displayed in top right hand corner of LCD
display. The Line 1 of the LCD display will show the frequency of the station.
Line 2 of the display will show RDS data or other information as described
below:
> FM
MANUAL TUNING
Using the rotary control knob turn it clockwise to step up through the
frequencies. These will step at 0.05MHz steps.
Turn it anti clockwise to step down through the frequencies. These will step
at 0.05MHz steps.
AUTO STEREO/MONO AND MONO ONLY MODE
Using the rotary control knob, press once to change between Auto and
mono modes. Press again to toggle between Auto (stereo/mono) and mono
modes.
When in auto mode the tuner will determine if the broadcast is in stereo and
switch on stereo operation respectively. When mono operation is selected,
all broadcasts will be played in mono regardless if they are originally
broadcast in stereo.
It is often necessary to play FM stations in mono to reduce the separation
effect of stereo, which can add background noise in areas with poor signal
strengths.
THE AUTO TUNE BUTTON.
It is possible to 'seek' through FM frequencies to find the next available
station.
Press the Autotune button once to activate a seek 'up' to the next available
station.
Hold the Autotune button down to activate a seek 'down' to the next
available station.
