Setup

Important: Connect all cables securely and properly (with stereo cables: left with left, right

with right), and do not bundle them with the power cable.

1. Use a stereo RCA cable or XLR cable to connect the Outputs to the analog inputs of your external receiver, amp, powered monitors, etc. Make sure the tuner Region is set for your location (America/Europe/Japan). See Operation > Remote Control for more information.

Note: If the unit is powered on, turn its power off and on again after changing this setting. When the unit powers on again, it will be set for the selected area.

2. Connect the included FM antenna to the FM Antenna Terminal.

3. Connect the included AM antenna loop to the AM Antenna Terminals. Make sure the AM loop antenna lead terminals do not touch metal parts of the panel. (Even if you use an external AM antenna, do not disconnect the AM loop antenna.)

If you want to hang the AM antenna loop on a wall, use a nail or tack to attach it (unassembled) to the wall.

If you want to stand the AM antenna loop on a flat surface, assemble it (see images below):

i. Put the stand section through the bottom of the loop antenna from the

rear and bend it forward.

ii. Insert the projecting part into the square hole in the stand.

4. Connect the included DAB antenna to the DAB+ Antenna Terminal, rotating the threaded connector clockwise on the terminal until it is secured.

5. After completing all the connections, use the included power cable to connect the AC In to a power outlet.

Battery Usage

Important: Before using the remote control for the first time, pull the insulation sheet out from

the battery compartment.

To replace the battery:

1. On the back of the remote control, put a pin into the door release hole and then slide the door release open.

2. Pull out the old lithium battery from the battery case and insert a new one. Place the battery so that the positive (+) side faces upward.

3. Place the battery case carefully into the compartment so the edges are in the grooves and then slide the battery case to its original position.

Important: Misuse of the lithium battery can result in heat build-up, ignition, or rupture. Bear in mind the following points when using or replacing batteries:

• The supplied battery is for testing the functionality of the remote controller.

• Use a 3V CR2032 lithium battery.

• Never recharge the battery. Do not handle the battery roughly or disassemble the battery.

• When replacing the battery, place it with its polarities (+ and -) facing the correct directions.

• Do not leave the battery in a place subject to high temperature or direct sunlight.

• Keep the battery in a place beyond the reach of infants or children. If a battery is

swallowed, consult a physician immediately.

• If electrolyte has leaked, discard the battery immediately. Be careful when handling it as the electrolyte can burn your skin or clothes. If the electrolyte touches your skin or clothes, immediately wash with tap water and consult a physician.

• Before discarding a battery, insulate it with tape, etc. and dispose of it in a place without fire, by following the directions or regulations laid down by the local authorities in the area of its disposal.

Operating Range

Point the remote control unit at the display when operating it. Note: If the remote control sensor is exposed to direct sunlight, strong artificial light (like from

an interverter-type fluorescent lamp), or infrared light, the unit or remote control may not function properly.

Using the Radio

To use the radio:

1. If the unit is off, press the Power button to power it on.

2. Press the Band button to select AM or FM. The audio from the broadcast will start automatically.

Important: Make sure you have properly connected the FM and AM antennae and set the Region to the correct setting.

3. To select a radio station, use the Tuning Up/Down buttons on the unit or the remote control. To jump to the previous or next station with clear reception, press and hold the

Tuning Up or Down button for more than 1 second.

To save a station to a preset number:

1. Select the desired station.

2. Press the Memory button on the unit or remote control.

3. Use the Number buttons (1–10/10+) on the unit or the remote control to enter the desired

preset number.

4. Press the Memory button to save the station to the preset.

To recall a saved radio station’s preset number, use the Number buttons (1–10/10+) on the unit or the remote control to enter the desired preset number. To recall presets higher than 10, press the 10/10+ button on the unit followed by the additional number button to get to the desired preset (e.g. to get to preset 12, select 10/10+ followed by 2).

Important:

The preset memory can hold up to 20 FM stations and 20 AM stations.

If you cannot receive a good broadcast signal, we recommend installing an outdoor antenna. For details, inquire at the retail store where you purchased the unit.

When you receive a clear broadcast signal, affix the antenna in a position with tape where the noise level is minimal.

Using DAB/DAB+

DAB and DAB+ (available in the Middle East, Asia, and Oceania; see the chart in the Appendix

> Technical Specifications for a list of supported countries) use a digital signal to broadcast

a wide selection of channels. DAB and DAB+ provides a listening experience without the hiss, crackle, or fading signal. DAB+ uses the same transmitters as DAB, though it converts sound to digital in a more efficient way with additional stations to choose. With DAB and DAB+, there is no need to remember frequencies; just select the station name.

DAB and DAB+ signals contain extra information that can be seen on the DN-300DH display. While you listen, stations may show scrolling text with artist name, track title, genre, upcoming songs, news headlines, sports scores, website addresses, or request line telephone numbers.

To select a DAB/DAB+ station:

1. If the unit is off, press the Power button to power it on.

2. Press the Band button to select DAB.

Important: Make sure you have properly connected the DAB antenna terminal.

3. Press the DAB Auto button to search for DAB/DAB+ stations.

4. To select from found DAB/DAB+ stations, use the Tuning Up/Down buttons on the unit or the remote control.

To save a station to a preset number:

1. Select the desired DAB/DAB+ station.

2. Press the Memory button on the unit or remote control.

3. Use the Number buttons (1–10/10+) on the unit or the remote control to enter the desired

preset number.

4. Press the Memory button to save the station to the preset. DN-300DH can store up to 40

DAB stations in memory.

To recall a saved DAB/DAB+ station preset number, use the Number buttons (1–10/10+) on the unit or the remote control to enter the desired preset number. To recall presets higher than 10, press the 10/10+ button on the unit followed by the additional number button to get to the desired preset (e.g. to get to preset 12, select 10/10+ followed by 2).

Important:

Check to ensure the antenna is extended as vertically as possible for best reception.

Position DN-300DH as close to a window as possible to ensure the surrounding environment will not impede the DAB/DAB+ broadcast strength.

Try positioning the unit higher in the house to pick up a strong DAB/DAB+ signal.

Troubleshooting

If you are not able to get a signal from a DAB/DAB+ station: After you have powered on

DN-300DH for the first time, press the DAB Auto button so it can search for stations available in your area. Once auto-tuned, you do not need to do it again unless you take it to another part of the country with different coverage or if you want to scan for new stations.

If the DAB/DAB+ signal is not heard in stereo: Stations that broadcast mostly talk or speech are usually broadcast in mono.

If the DAB/DAB+ radio signal has digital artifacts or low quality sound: Try adjusting the antenna for better reception. Also, the station may be broadcasting at a lower bit rate. Check to see if the signal broadcasts on another station at a higher bit rate.
