Searching for and saving DAB stations

Your device has a DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) input source 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.

DAB stations are broadcast on Band III (174.928-239.200 MHz,
5A - 13F).

When the device is used in DAB mode for the first time it performs an
automatic station search (“local function”) (display: briefly »DAB Digital
Radio«, then »Scanning...«). During the search, the first line shows the
number of stations found, and the second shows the search scale. At the
end of the search, you will hear the first station in alphanumerical order
(A to Z, 0 to 9). If no stations are found, »Station not available«
appears in the display. The display then changes to a manual station
search.

Automatic station search

The device has two automatic station search modes.

1 Press »•FULL TUNE AUTO TUNE« briefly.

– Display: »Scanning...«.
– The device searches for new stations on the bands reserved for local

stations (11B - 12D). New stations are added to the station list.

2 Hold down »•FULL TUNE AUTO TUNE« until »Scanning...«

appears in the display.
– The device searches the entire DAB band for new stations. New

stations are added to the station list.
