Press the INFO BUTTON on the front panel of the Cambridge Audio DAB500 to cycle through display options. This button allows you to change the display to show scrolling text, program type, time and date, technical information, signal data rate, or signal error rate. If the screen remains blank, try adjusting the aerial and using the AUTO TUNE BUTTON to search for available stations.
