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:
Service Label Ensemble ID
Clock
(Non-DAB signal)
Preset Channel
Number
PTY: Program Type (See page11.)
DLS: Dynamic Label Segment (text

NOTE
If no signals are sent, “NOSIGNAL” (instead of Service
Label), “NONE” (instead of PTY) or “NO TEXT ” (instead of
DLS) appears on the display.
Frequency

DLS
Improving the DAB reception
With the supplied DAB antenna, you may not be able to
receive L-Band ensembles depending on your reception
condition. You can improve the reception of both L-Band
and Band III ensembles by connecting an active antenna
(see page 3) and supplying electricity to the antenna.
While the System is on standby (Display
ON)
After connecting an active antenna, press
and hold for more than 2 seconds. The active
antenna is powered on and “ANT.P ON”
appears on the display.
To power off the active antenna, press and
hold the button again. Then “ANT.P OFF”
appears on the display .
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 fi rst time
after plugging in the AC power code, the System
automatically performs the scanning.
• When you moved your System or adjusted the antenna
position, perform the scanning manually.
Press and hold for more than 2 seconds
while tuning in to DAB.
When the scanning is complete, the System starts playing
the fi rst service of the ensemble found fi rst .

Receiving FM Stations with Radio Data System
Radio Data System allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular program signals.
With the System, you can receive the following types of Radio Data System signals.
PS (Program Service): Shows commonly known station names.
PTY (Program Type): Shows types of broadcast programs.
RT (Radio Text): Shows text messages the station sends.
Enhanced Other Networks: Provides the information about the types of the programs broadcast by the Radio Data

Basic and Common Operations (see page 5)
• Sound adjustments also aff ect the sound through the
headphones.
• Sound adjustments do not aff ect recording to the
external device.
• 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.
Playing Back Discs (see pages 7)
• This System cannot play “packet write” discs.
• For MP3 playback...
– MP3 discs are required a longer readout time than
regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the
group/fi le confi guration.)
– Some MP3 fi les cannot be played back and will be
skipped. This result from their recording processes and
conditions.
– When making MP3 discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level
2 for the disc format.
– This System can play back MP3 fi les with the extension
code <.mp3> (regardless of the letter case—upper/
lower).
– It is recommended that you make each MP3 fi le at a
sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps.
This System cannot play back fi les made at bit rate of
less than 64 kbps.
– Playback order of MP3 tracks may be diff erent from
the one you have intended while recording. If a folder
does not include MP3 tracks, they are ignored.
• This System can recognize up to 511 tracks in a disc.
Also, the System can recognize up to 150 tracks per
group and up to 99 groups in a disc. (for MP3)
– If there are any unplayable fi les in a folder, those fi les
are also counted in the total fi le number.
– Playable fi les which do not belong to any groups are
handled as Group 1.
MP3 groups/tracks confi guration
This System plays back MP3 tracks as follows.
Hierarchy
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5
Listening to the Radio (see page 9)
• The time shown on the display by changing the DAB
information is based on the built-in clock of the system,
not on the information sent through DAB.
• The Enhanced Other Networks function is available only
when tuning in to FM.
Connecting a Portable Audio Device (see page 13)
Playing back a portable audio device:
• If a component connected to the LINE IN jack is not loud
enough, QP Link may not work properly.
In such cases, adjust the volume level of the component
louder so that the System can detect the sound signal
properly.
• Changing from “LINE” to another source while QP Link
works will deactivate QP Link temporarily.
In this case, the following reactivates QP Link:
– Pressing QP LINK on the remote control
– When no sound signal comes from the LINE IN jack for
about 30 seconds after the System is turned off
• If you press button to turn the System off or if preset
Timer turns the System off while QP Link works, the
System deactivates QP Link temporarily.
In such cases, the following reactivates QP Link:
– When no sound signal comes from the LINE IN jack for
about 30 seconds after the System is turned off
– When you turn on the power again
Setting the Clock and Daily Timer (see page 15)
• “0:00” will fl ash on the display until you set the clock.
• 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 fi rst, then the timer again.
• When the on-time of the daily timer comes, the System
sets the volume level gradually to the preset level after
about 10 seconds.
Timer Priority:
• If you set the Sleep Timer after Daily Timer starts playing
the selected source, Daily Timer is canceled.
