Troubleshooting

) sto turn the unit on.
Radio
Cannot listen to any station, or signal is too weak.
Tune in the station properly.
Rotate the DAB/FM antenna for the best reception position.
Though the FM broadcast is stereo, it sounds monaural.
Press the FM MODE button.
'NO stations available' appears on the display.
Check that antenna is stretched.
Ensure that DAB coverage exists in your area.
Cannot access secondary services.
Secondary service is part-time programme transmitted as a
side channel of the primary station. When you want to listen
to a secondary station, check its broadcasting schedule.
Display goes out or displays 'Station off-air'.
This may occur if a broadcaster changes the label of a
service or removes a label whilst you are listening to it. The
CX-400iDAB will try to retune to this station, or alternatively
follow the procedure for auto tune on page 23.
Cannot listen to the selected station.
Ensure you have pressed the SELECT button when you want
to listen to your selection. The station you are currently
listening to will be displayed on the first line of the display,
as you scroll through the station order list the second line
will show other station options. Press the SELECT button to
activate your selection.
A burbling sound is heard on some stations.
DAB like other digital media is good at producing quality
audio from a low level signal. However, if this signal level
is too low, a 'burbling' sound can sometimes be heard. To
reduce this, try repositioning your antenna to gain maximum
signal strength.
If normal operation cannot be recovered, unplug the
power cord from the outlet and plug it again.
If the power switch of the subwoofer turned off, the
settings kept in memory (clock, timer setting) will be
erased.
Beware of condensation
When the unit (or a disc) is moved from a cold to a warm
place, or used after a sudden temperature change, there is
a danger of condensation; vapor in the air could condense
on the internal mechanism, making correct operation erratic
or impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs, leave the unit
for one or two hours with the power turned on. The unit will
stabilize at the temperature of its surroundings.
Maintenance
If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe with a soft cloth or
use diluted mild liquid soap. Never spray liquid directly on
this unit. Apply your cleaner to your cleaning cloth and wipe
gently. Be sure to remove any excess completely. Do not use
thinner, benzene or alcohol as they may damage the surface
of the unit. Allow the surface of the unit to dry completely
before using.
