DAB - DIGITAL AUDIO BROADCASTS

This section provides information on using your DAB
including tuning, selecting a service and altering the
displayed information.
Tuning
Tuning the DAB is very simple. When you first switch on
the unit it will start an automatic tuning process described
below in Tuning for the first time. You may want to re-
tune the unit at a later date if you move the unit to a
different room or if you want to receive a newly introduced
multiplex.
Tuning for the first time
When you switch on your DAB for the first time an autotune
process will be performed automatically. A progress
indicator on the display shows that autotune underway.
"Welcome to Digital Radio" will be displayed on LCD.
If stations are found during the autotune
The stations will be stored in alphanumeric order and the
first station on the list will be selected and you will hear
it through the speaker. To listen to other stations, see
Selecting a station.
If no stations are found during the autotune
'No stations available' will be shown on the display for a
few seconds and then you see a menu of options. Use
the SCROLL/SEARCH knob to scroll through the following
options and push it to select that option.
Manual Tune - See Manual Tune details of using the
manual tuning option.
Local Scan - See Retuning your unit below for details of
the local autotune option.
Full Scan - See retuning your unit below for details of
the full autotune option.
Retuning your unit
You can re-tune your unit at any time using the autotune
process. You may wish to do this if a new multiplex is
launched or you move your unit to another room. You do
not need to perform an autotune to pick up new stations
within a multiplex you already have stored as your DAB
monitors and refreshes the list of available stations
automatically. The following two options are available:
Local Scan - scans all frequencies in the UK channel
allocation. This should only take a few seconds.
Full Scan - scans the full range of digital frequencies in
Band III. This may take a minute or more.
1. Ensure your DAB is switched on and the aerial is
connected and fully extended.
2. Push and release the SCAN button once for local
scan or hold down for around two seconds for a full
scan.
Note:
You can cancel Autotune by pressing the SCAN button
again during the tuning process.
The display will indicate tuning is underway. When
finished, the DAB will return to the station you were
listening to and you will hear it through the speakers. All
the stations found are now stored in the unit and you can
select another station as described in Selecting a station.
If no stations are found, you see the message 'No Stations
Available' and the display shows an option menu, see If
no stations are found during the autotune for details of
this menu. Check you aerial is fully extended and try one
of the available tuning options.
Selecting a station
Once you have tuned your DAB you select the digital radio
station you want to listen to using the SCROLL button. If
you have assigned stations to presets you can also select
them directly by pressing the relevant numbered button
(1-6), see storing and recalling presets.
1. The top line of the display shows the name of the
currently selected station. Press the SCROLL
button to see the names of other stored stations on
the bottom line of the display. Stop when you find
the station to which you want to listen.
2. Press the SELECT button to listen to the station
you have selected. The display may show 'Now
tuning' briefly as it finds the new station.
If a station has one or more secondary services available
the display will '>>' next to the station name on the station
list and they will appear after the primary service as you
turn the SCROLL/SEARCH knob.
A secondary service will display '<<'before the station
name on the station list indicating that it belongs to the
primary service before it in the list. See information on
primary and secondary services.
