Radio Reception with DAB

The D-FIRE 01, used in conjunction with the Blaupunkt car radios STOCKHOLM RCM 128, SYDNEY RCM 128 and TORONTO RDM 128, enables you to receive DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting).
With DAB, you can enjoy radio in digital sound quality.
Unlike conventional radio, DAB always transmits several programmes on a single frequency. These programmes are grouped to form so-called “ensembles”, one ensem­ble always consisting of several, usually six, programmes. At the same time, one pro­gramme can also include up to 12 subpro­grammes. A sports station, for example, could broadcast subprogrammes about dif­ferent sporting events at one and the same time.
Other advantages DAB has to offer are: NEWS and WEATHER: Regular NEWS and WEATHER bulletins are
also broadcast in addition to the traffic an­nouncements. You can have these an­nouncements put through, i.e. when the function is active, announcements received by the D-FIRE 01 will be heard even when the radio system is in cassette or CD mode.
The cassette or CD will be interrupted for the duration of the announcement and play resumed at the end of it. Traffic announce­ments are broadcast at the volume set for traffic announcements (TA VOL).
Please consult your car radio manual for details of how to adjust TA COL.
DAB-Regional (REG): Since DAB frequencies are broadcast
across an extensive area of the country, you may find that you are receiving traffic an­nouncements irrelevant to the region in which you are currently travelling. In order to avoid this, the DAB transmission areas are subdivided into regions. If you wish to receive announcements for a specific re­gion, select REG ALL. If you wish to hear only supraregional announcements, please select REG NONE.
Dynamic Range Control (DRC): Some radio stations transmit not only their
own programme but also information which enables your D-FIRE 01 to adjust the vol­ume in your car to suit the programme re­ceived. This makes it possible, for example when classical music is playing, to raise the volume of quiet passages so that they can also be heard in the car.
This sound adjustment depends upon the information transmitted by the radio stations and is only possible if the information is sup­plied. If you would like sound adjustment, please select DRC = ON, if not, DRC = OFF.
The NEWS, WEATHER, REG and DRC settings are selected in the DSC menu of your car radio. Please consult your car ra­dio instructions for details of how to find the DSC menu and make adjustments.
NB: As the D-FIRE 01 is operated solely via the car radio, please also read the car radio instructions carefully when you wish to use your D-FIRE 01.

Important Notes

Operating Instructions

What you should not fail to read

Before switching on your car radio, please read the following notes carefully.

Road Safety

Road safety is paramount, so you should always ensure that your car radio does not impair your ability to respond to any given traffic situation. We advise you not to use the radio in critical situations. You should always be able to hear police or fire service warning signals, for example, clearly and in good time. Please therefore only listen to your select­ed programme at a reasonable volume when driving.
Danger: As there is no background noise with DAB, the radio remains
silent when in the search mode. To avoid the driver being shocked when recep­tion begins, the volume cannot be raised at the car radio during the search run. If you have a remote control, on no account should you use it to raise the volume in such a case.

Installation

Before installing or extending the system yourself, please read the installation and connecting instructions at the end of the operating instructions.

Switching On and Off

Select the DAB mode using the SRC key. “DAB” appears on the display for 2 seconds. If you switch off your radio while in the DAB mode, it will be called up again when you switch back on.
The DAB receiver is now active and the last programme set being played. The name of the set programme (programme display) appears on the display. If DAB reception is not possible, “NO ENS” appears on the dis­play, alternating with the set frequency.

Frequency Display

The current programme name is always shown on the display when DAB pro­grammes are being received. Press to display the channel currently set. You can switch back to the programme display us­ing the << >> keys on the rocker switch.
If no key is pressed within three seconds, the display returns automatically to the pro­gramme display.

Ensemble Display

Press to switch to the ensemble name display. The name of the current ensemble appears on the display for three seconds. You can switch back to the programme dis­play using the << >> keys on the rocker switch. If no key is pressed within three sec­onds, the display returns automatically to the programme display.

Frequency Tuning

Automatic Frequency Tuning

Hold down onds.
“SEARCH ” or “SEARCH ” then appears on the display. An upwards or downwards search for receivable ensembles is made starting from the set frequency. Press on the rocker switch to alter the direction at any time. If an ensemble is found, the search run stops, the ensemble name is briefly dis­played and the first programme of the en­semble is played. If no frequency band is found after a com­plete search run, “NO DAB” appears on the display.
