1. PRECAUTIONS

1. This unit does not operate independently. The
unit must be used with a main unit that has a
cable connection for CeNET wire bound.

2. The DAH923 can easily be damaged by
moisture, high temperatures or high
humidity. Keep the inside of the car clean
and well ventilated.

3. Never subject the DAH923 to strong shocks
or open its case. Doing so may result in dam­age.

4. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe dirt off the
DAH923. Never use a hard cloth or thinner,
alcohol, etc. For tough dirt, apply some cold
or lukewarm water to a soft cloth and wipe off
the dirt gently.

5. The volume level of some DAB broadcasts
may be different from that of other function
modes (FM, CD, etc.) even if the preset
volume level is the same.

2. FEATURES

DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting)

The Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) system transmits several programmes on one frequency
simultaneously, by compressing audio signals, etc.

The group of programmes, which is transmitted on a single frequency is called an “Ensemble”.
Some DAB stations have several ensembles and broadcast diversified programmes.
The number of programmes and the contents which an ensemble provides depend on the broadcast

stations and times. Since DAB programmes are broadcast on several different frequencies, the
same programmes can be enjoyed over larger areas.

The listener could listen to digital radio with an audio quality nearly equal to that of a CD.
If reception deteriorates, the Clarion Receiver DAH923 will switch automatically to the corresponding

FM station (if the signal is provided by broadcasters).
Normally, the receiver searches for the next available ensemble in DAB mode.

DIGITAL RADIO - the next Generation of Radio Experience!!

Features of DAH923

When digital radio is on air it’s benefits can be used. In case of insufficient coverage the receiver
switches automatically to FM.

Additionally this unit provides interference free reception even under worse conditions combined
with the superior sound quality of CD.

When you turn the unit on and select DAB mode, the programme that starts is the one that was
selected before when the power was turned off. If this programme is not available, another programme
will be selected automatically.

Programmes have their own name, just like PS on RDS.

Notes:

• DAB stations may automatically reconfigure their services from time to time. When this happens and the
service (program) you are looking for is no longer available, the receiver automatically looks up another
program in the same DAB Ensemble.

• For sophisticated audio quality, the receiver needs to tune on a DAB Ensemble. While the receiver is
being tuned in to the DAB Ensemble, the audio output is muted. The tuning time is not fixed.

• The following list summarizes the features of the DAH923.

■ Supports All Types of Announcements (Traffic, News, Weather, Others)

■ Pre Selection of Programme Type (PTY), Search and Watch Function for PTY

■ Easy to Use Mode

■ Sophisticated Audio Quality

■ Simple Operation Based on a Newly Developed Man-Machine-Interface

■ High Sensitive DAB Receiver (Band III / L-Band)

■ Individual Announcement Support

■ Automatic Service Following between DAB / FM-RDS

■ Optical Radio Data Interface (RDI) for External Data Servise Decoder and so on

■ Compact Dimensions
