Cautions on installation
Noise or disturbance of the picture may be generated if this
unit or any other electronic equipment using microprocessors
is used near a tuner or TV.
If this happens, take the following steps:
• Install this unit as far as possible from the tuner or TV.
• Set the antenna wires from the tuner or TV away from this
unit’s power supply cord and input/output connection cables.
• Noise or disturbance tends to occur particularly when using
indoor antennas or 300 Ω/ohms feeder wires.
We recommend using outdoor antennas and 75 Ω/ohms
coaxial cables.
Note:
For heat dispersal, do not install this equipment in a confined
space such as a book case or similar unit.
Wall
Note
q Remove the remote control unit’s rear cover.
w Set two R03/AAA batteries in the battery compartment in
the indicated direction.
e Put the rear cover back on.
Notes on batteries:
• Replace the batteries with new ones if the set does not
operate even when the remote control unit is operated
nearby the set. (The included battery is only for verifying
operation.)
• When inserting the batteries, be sure to do so in the
proper direction, following the “<” and “>” marks in the
battery compartment.
•To prevent damage or leakage of battery fluid:
•Do not use a new battery together with an old one.
• Do not use two different types of batteries.
• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or dispose of
batteries in flames.
• If the battery fluid should leak, carefully wipe the fluid off the
inside of the battery compartment and insert new batteries.
•When replacing the batteries, have the new batteries
ready and insert them as quickly as possible.

of approximately 7 meters from the main unit, but this
distance will be shorter if there are obstacles in the way or if
the remote control unit is not pointed directly at the remote
sensor.
• The remote control unit can be operated at a horizontal angle
of up to 30 degrees with respect to the remote sensor.

Listening to DAB broadcasts
• Since the DAB system is broadcasted in digital format, DAB system can supply crystal-clear audio and stable reception even in
mobile objects. DAB is a new generation radio which can provide data service and supplementary multi-media services.
• DAB broadcasts multiple services under one Ensemble that are called service components.
• Each component contains inherent programmes; news, music, sports, and many more.
• Each Ensemble and service component has its label, and users can recognize a current broadcasting station and service
contents by using the label.
• The main service component is broadcast as Primary while the others are broadcast as Secondary.
• Also rich character information is serviced through Dynamic Labels; song title, artist composer etc.

• The DRC (Dynamic Range Control) function lets you change
the dynamic range of the received sound depending on the
content of the broadcast so that the sound is easier to hear
even when the volume is low.
• The dynamic range can be fine-adjusted in three steps.
• When the indication of the display is not normal or when the

the initializaton of the microprocessor is required by the
following procedure.

This function provides approximately one week of
memory storage when the main unit’s power switch is
off and with the power cord disconnected.
• If step 3 does not work,start over from step 1.
•If the microprocessor has been reset,all the button settings
are reset to the default values (the values set upon shipment

Available”.
• Ensure that DAB coverage exists in your area. • Check that antenna is connected. 8
I can not access secondary
services.
• At the time of publishing this manual not many
secondary services are available, this will
increase as more DAB stations start
broadcasting.
• If a secondary service station is available, the
secondary indicator <<, >> will be displayed
next to the station name.

I hear a burbling sound 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, alternatively
available to the TU-1800DAB.
