What is DAB System?
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is one of the digital
radio broadcasting systems available today. It can
deliver digital quality sound without any annoying
interference or signal distortion. Furthermore, it
can carry text, pictures and data. In contrast to FM
broadcast, where each program is transmitted on its
own frequency, DAB combines several programs (called
“services”) to form one “ensemble.” “Primary services”
(main radio stations) are sometimes accompanied by
“secondary services” to broadcast additional programs.
CAUTION:
Electrostatic discharge from your body may cause
noise from the speakers and you cannot hear the
broadcast.
If this happens, turn off the System (on standby), then
turn it on again.
Changing the DAB Information
Each time you press the button, the main
display changes as follows:
Improving the DAB Reception
With the supplied DAB antenna, you may not be able

To supply power to the active antenna
After connecting an active antenna,
press and hold for more than 2 seconds
while the System is on standby. Power is
supplied to the active antenna when DAB
is selected as the source and “ANT.P ON”
appears on the display.
To cut the power supply, press and hold
the button again on standby. Then
“ANT.P OFF” appears on the display.
• You cannot change this setting when
the ECO mode is activated (see page 6).
Scanning Ensembles
With the ensemble scanning function, the System scans
the DAB bands to pick out available ensembles under
your receiving condition.
• When you change the source to DAB for the first
time after plugging in the AC power cord, the System
automatically performs the scanning.
• When you moved your System or adjusted the
antenna position, perform the scanning manually.
To start the scanning
Press and hold for more than 2 seconds
while DAB is selected as the source.
To cancel the scanning, press CANCEL.
If you change to other source during ensemble
scanning, the System will restart the scanning when
DAB is selected as the source again.
• To cancel the scanning and stop restarting the scan,
press CANCEL.
PTY: Program Type (See page 11.)
DLS: Dynamic Label Segment (text
messages the station sends)
* The preset number is displayed only when
the service has been selected using the

System and starts playing back if the source is ready
or connected.
Playing Back a Disc/USB Mass Storage Class Device
(see pages 7 and 8)
• This System cannot play “packet write” discs.
• For MP3/WMA playback...
– In this manual, “file” and “track” are interchangeably
used for MP3/WMA operations.
– This System can show the Tag data (Version 1).
– MP3/WMA discs are required a longer readout time
than regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of
the group/file configuration.)
– Some MP3/WMA files cannot be played back and
will be skipped. This result from their recording
processes and conditions.
– When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1
or Level 2 for the disc format.
– This System can play back MP3/WMA files with the
extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of
the letter case—upper/lower).
– It is recommended that you make each MP3/WMA
file at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of
128 kbps. This System cannot play back files made
at bit rate of less than 64 kbps.
– Playback order of MP3/WMA tracks may be different
from the one you have intended while recording. If
a folder does not include MP3/WMA tracks, they are
ignored.
• Do not use the following USB devices...
– Whose rating is other than 5 V and exceeds 500 mA.
– Equipped with special functions such as data
security functions.
– Divided by 2 or more partitions.

– You can play back MP3/WMA files in a USB mass
storage class device (maximum data transfer rate:
2 Mbps).
– You cannot play back a file larger than 2 Gigabyte.
– This System may not play back some USB mass
storage class devices and does not support DRM
(Digital Rights Management).
• This System can recognize up to 99 groups in a disc.
The total number of groups and tracks (in a disc) that
can be recognized by the System is 512 (for MP3/
WMA).
• This System can recognize up to 99 groups and 9 999
tracks (with a maximum number of 255 tracks in a
group) in a USB mass storage class device.
Listening to the Radio (see pages 9 to 11)
• The time shown on the display is based on the builtin clock of the System, not on the information sent
through DAB or Radio Data System.
• The Enhanced Other Networks function is available
only when tuning in to FM.
Setting the Clock and Using Timers (see pages 13
and 14)
• You can set the clock and Daily Timer while the Save
Mode is turned on. While setting the clock or Daily
Timer, the display is turning on.
• The clock may gain or lose 1 to 2 minutes per month.
If this happens, readjust the clock.
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power
failure occurs, the clock and the timer will be
canceled. You need to set the clock first, then the
timer again.
