3. Getting started

Finding a suitable location for the radio
After unpacking the radio from the box, take the following guidelines
into account when finding a suitable location for the radio:
●
Place the radio on a flat, even surface such as a table.
●
Do not place the radio near heat sources.
●
Make sure there is sufficient space available around the radio for
proper ventilation.
Preparing the remote control
The radio's remote control requires two AAA batteries to operate. To
place the batteries:
1. Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote control.
2. Insert two AAA batteries in the battery compartment with polarities
as shown in the diagram inside the battery compartment.
3. Close the battery compartment again.
Connecting the radio to the mains power supply
The DDR-53BT can be powered using the supplied AC power cord.
Before connecting the plug of the AC power cord to a wall socket,
please ensure that the voltage that the wall socket supplies is within
the supported range printed at the back of the radio (100-240 V ~
50/60 Hz).
If this is the case, first connect the connector of the power cord to the
radio and then insert the plug of the power cord into the wall socket.
Initial operation
After your DDR-53BT has been supplied with power for the first
time, the radio's display will show a blinking time, indicating the time
has not yet been set, and the default date. To automatically set the
date and time, follow these steps:
1. Before turning on the radio, carefully extend the antenna at the
back of the radio.
2. Turn on the radio using the POWER button.
3.
The radio will switch on in the DAB mode and automatically scan
for DAB stations.
4. Once the scan is complete, the radio will list all stations that were
found. Use the TUNING UP / DOWN button to scroll through the
list of stations, select the desired station and press the SELECT
button to tune into the selected station.
5. After tuning into the selected station, the time and date should be
automatically updated to the current time and date.
NOTE:
If the radio would be unable to find any DAB stations, it is also
possible to automatically synchronize the time and date by
tuning into an FM radio station broadcasting RDS information.
refer to chapter 5 "Listening to FM radio" for details on this.
Setting the time and date manually
If the time cannot automatically be set following the above
instructions or if you want to set the time yourself, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the TIME SET button.
2. The time mode will be blinking on the radio's display.
3. Press the TUNING UP / DOWN button to select either 24 Hours
or 12 Hours and press the SELECT button to confirm your
choice. If the 12 hour time mode is selected, the time will be
displayed with an AM / PM indicator after the time is set.
4.
After setting the time mode you will be asked to set the hour,
minutes, year, month and date.
5. Press the TUNING UP / DOWN to select a value and press the
SELECT button to confirm.
NOTE:
If the 12 hour time mode is selected in step 3, make sure that
AM / PM (shown in front of the time) is set correctly as well
when setting the current hour.
Configuring the radio's equalizer
The sound on your radio can be adjusted to suit your personal taste
for the material that you are listening to. This radio has 6 preset
equalizer modes you can choose from. Alternatively, you can also
configure the bass and treble level yourself.
To configure the equalizer, follow these steps:
1. Turn on the radio using the POWER button.
2. Repeatedly press the EQ button to select one of the preset
equalizer modes:
●
Flat
●
Jazz
●
Rock
●
Classic
●
Pop
●
News

3. When selecting [Treble] or [Bass], use the TUNING UP / DOWN
