NOTES:
• If you store a new station/service into an occupied preset
number, the previously stored one in that number will be
erased.
• When you preset DAB services, you can only preset
primary services. If you select a secondary service to store,
its primary service is stored instead.
What is DAB System?
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is one of the digital
radio broadcasting systems available today. It can
deliver digital quality sound without any annoying
interference or signal distortion. Furthermore, it
can carry text, pictures and data. In contrast to FM
broadcast, where each program is transmitted on its
own frequency, DAB combines several programs (called
"services") to form one "ensemble." "Primary services"
(main radio stations) are sometimes accompanied by
"secondary services" to broadcast additional programs.
CAUTION:
Electrostatic discharge from your body may cause
noise from the speakers and you cannot hear the
broadcast.
If this happens, turn off the System (on standby), then
turn it on again.
Changing the DAB Information
Each time you press the button, the main
display changes as follows:
PTY: Program Type (See page 12.)
DLS: Dynamic Label Segment (text
messages the station sends)
* The preset number is displayed only when
the service has been selected using the
UP/DOWN keys.
NOTES:
• If no signals are sent, "NOSIGNAL" (instead of Service
Label), "NO PTY" (instead of PTY) or "NO TEXT" (instead of
DLS) appears on the display.
• If a preset channel which has no signal is selected,
"EMPTY" (instead of Service Label) appears on the display.

Improving the DAB Reception
With the supplied DAB antenna, you may not be able
to receive L-Band ensembles. You can improve the
reception of both L-Band and Band III ensembles by
connecting an active antenna (see page 3).
To supply power to the active antenna
After connecting an active antenna,
press and hold for more than 2 seconds
while the System is on standby. Power is
supplied to the active antenna when DAB
is selected as the source and "ANT.P ON"
appears on the display.
To cut the power supply, press and hold
the button again on standby. Then
"ANT.P OFF" appears on the display.
• You cannot change this setting when
the ECO mode is activated (see page 6).
Scanning Ensembles
With the ensemble scanning function, the System scans
the DAB bands to pick out available ensembles under
your receiving condition.
• When you change the source to DAB for the first
time after plugging in the AC power cord, the System
automatically performs the scanning.
• When you moved your System or adjusted the
antenna position, perform the scanning manually.
To start the scanning
Press and hold for more than 2 seconds
while DAB is selected as the source.
To cancel the scanning, press MENU/
CANCEL.
If you change to other source during ensemble
scanning, the System will restart the scanning when
DAB is selected as the source again.
• To cancel the scanning and stop restarting the scan,
press MENU/CANCEL.
When the scanning is complete, the System starts
playing the first service of the ensemble found first.
