Special features
Your device provides access to numerous internet radio stations via a router. You can connect
the device to the internet using a LAN cable or
WLAN.
For Internet operation, a DSL connection and
DSL flat rate are recommended.
Music titles archived on a PC or hard drive (NAS
- Network Attached Storage) can be played on
the device using a UPnP server or enabled folders via LAN or WLAN (audio streaming).
Your device supports the industry standard
DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) 1.5 digital media renderer.

SET-UP AND SAFETY
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please note the following instructions when setting up the system:
7
The device is designed for the playback of
audio signals. Any other use is expressly prohibited.
7
If you want to set up the device on wall
shelves or in cupboards, please ensure that
it is adequately ventilated. There must be at
least 10 cm of space at the side, above and
behind the device.
7
Do not cover the device with newspapers,
table cloths, curtains, etc.
7
When setting up the device, remember that
furniture is often coated with various types of
varnish and plastic, which often contain chemical additives. These additives may cause corrosion to the feet of the unit. This may leave
stains on the surface of the furniture which can
be difficult or impossible to remove.
7
If the device is exposed to sudden changes in
temperature, for example when taken from the
cold into a warm room, wait at least two hours
before using it.
7
The device is designed for use in dry rooms.
If you do use it outdoors, make sure it is protected from moisture such as dripping or
splashing water.
7
Only use the device in a moderate climate.
7
Do not place the device close to heating units
or in direct sunlight, as this will impair cooling.
7
Do not place any vessels containing liquids,
such as vases, on the device.
7
Do not place any objects such as burning candles on the device.
7
Do not use any cleaning agents as they may
damage the housing. Clean the device with a
clean dry cloth.
7
Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical
devices. Even if the device is switched off, it
can be damaged by a lightning strike to the
mains or the antenna cable. Always disconnect the mains during a storm.
7
Continuous use at high volume level
can cause damage to the user’s
hearing.
7
If malfunctions occur due to static electricity
charges or brief mains voltage surges, reset
the device. To do this, pull out the mains
adapter and connect it again after a few seconds.
7
Do not open the device casing under any cir-
cumstances. Warranty claims are excluded for
damage resulting from improper handling.
7
Make sure the power plug is freely accessible.

Searching for and saving DAB
stations
Your device has a DAB/ DAB+ (Digital Audio
Broadcasting) receiver unit which enables crystal-clear radio reception in CD quality, i.e. without hissing or crackling.
DAB stations are combined into ensembles (multiplexes) at regional and national levels. An ensemble contains several stations broadcast on
the same frequency. One individual station can
combine other secondary service components
such as live broadcasts or foreign language
news.
The device can receive DAB stations on Band III
(174.928 – 239.200 MHz, 5A – 13F).
Automatic station search
If you first switch on the device in DAB mode, the
automatic station search starts (Display: »Scanning«). During the search, the first line shows the
number of stations found, and the second shows
the search scale. After the end of the search, an
alphanumeric arrangement of stations (A...Z,
0...9) appears. If no stations are found, the DAB
menu appears in the display.
1 Press »M« repeatedly until »DAB radio« ap-
pears on display.
– The device searches for DAB stations.
Note:
7
In the »DAB Radio« – »Full scan« menu,
you can restart a new “Automatic station
search”. This may be necessary when the
location of the device is changed.
Manual station search
If you know the frequencies or the transmission
channels of the ensembles (multiplexes), you can
also search for DAB stations manually.
1 Press »MENU« to open the DAB menu.

– Display: e.g. »5D 180.064MHz« and the
search scale.
– New stations are added to the list.
Sorting channels
You can sort the station list stored during the station search in three different ways.
– »Alphanumeric«: all stations are sorted alpha-
numerically (default setting).
– »Ensemble«: all stations are sorted by ensemble.
– »Valid«: active stations are listed first, stations
that are not active are shown with a question
mark.
1 Press »MENU« to open the DAB menu.
2 Select the option »Station order« with »V« or
»Λ« and press »OK« to confirm.
3 Select your settings with »V« or »Λ« and
press »OK« to confirm.
Deleting a station list
The names of the DAB stations remain in the station list even after a new automatic search.
However, these DAB stations can no longer be
received and the names can be deleted from the
station list.
1 Press »MENU« to open the DAB menu.
2 Select the option »Prune invalid« with »V« or
»Λ« and press »OK« to confirm.
3 Select the push button »YES« with »Λ« or »V«
and press »OK« to confirm.
– The names of the DAB stations which are
now invalid are deleted.
