Connect the speakers to main unit
1 Ensure the mains power is disconnected.
2 Connect the speaker wires between the main unit and the speakers.
Match the speaker wire to the appropriate terminal on the components:
(+) to (+) (colour), and (-) to (-) (black). (If the wires are reversed, the
sound will be distorted and will lack some tones.)
3 Hold down the terminal tab to
insert each wire. Release the tab
to lock the wire into the terminal.
Make sure the bare wire is fully
inserted and that the insulation
reaches right up to the tab leaving
no bare wire visible.
• To avoid short-circuiting the speakers, make sure the the stripped end
of each speaker wire does not touch another terminal or another wire.
Connecting the aerials
Plug the RF coax plug of the FM aerial lead into the external FM antenna
socket.
Assemble the MW loop aerial by bending the stand along the join and
continue to bend until the stand is at the bottom of the aerial. Clip into the
slot in the base of the aerial. Then connect the two wires from the MW
aerial to the external MW antenna terminals (in the same way the speakers
wires are connected).
Take out the DAB antenna and extend it to its full length.
Connect it to the DAB aerial stud by simply screwing it onto
the stud.
Connect to the wall socket

DAB (digital audio broadcasting)
DAB or Digital Audio Broadcasting represents a new age in broadcasting
technology and as with all new technologies it is significantly different to
traditional analogue FM/AM broadcast methods. The new system no
longer relies on the user tuning to a given frequency but allows the DAB
receiver to provide an active service list of all available radio
programmes/stations at the touch of one button.
IMPORTANT: Before using DAB for the first time please ensure the DAB
aerial is attached and fully extended.

At this stage and in the unlikely event that the display shows ‘Poor

will progress across the display from left to right. The ‘O’ in the top
right hand corner of the display will change as stations are found and
after around 10 seconds ‘now tuning’ will show in the display and the
first station on the service list will be tuned to.
with this process a tuning aid can be accessed by pressing the
button this will bring up a manual tuning aid which will show the
available signal strength for a given multiplex the incoming signal
should exceed the outline box shown in the display to ensure good
uninterrupted reception. Move the unit around in the location until an

Scrolling DLS text
This is text that accompanies a radio programme and can be used to
provide additional information such as the title of the song being played or
contact phone numbers or web site addresses etc. Not all stations
broadcast DLS text therefore this information may not be available on

Favourite station
DAB has a unique feature whereby it remembers every time you listen to a
station and stores this information. If this option is selected the service list

top of the list to make it faster to find when the unit is switched on.
Alphanumeric
Selecting this option sorts the service list in alphanumeric order from
A to Z.
Prune stations
Selecting this option removes any stations from the list that are not
currently receivable (marked with a ‘?’ in front of the service name).
Presets
This menu option only becomes available once the favourite stations sort
has been used. The unit will automatically allocate the top 10 most
frequently listened to stations to presets 1 to 10, with preset 1 the most
listened to station, Preset 2 the second most listened to station etc.
Storing stations into the preset memory
With DAB using a service list with easy station identification it is not
essential to store DAB stations as presets, however if this is required then
proceed as follows.
1 Tune the to station to be stored in memory.
2 Press and hold

buttons and are listed as follows: 5A 5B 5C 5D 12A
12B 12C 12D 13A 13B 13C 13D 13E 13F.
To check the signal strength for a multiplex press
required multiplex number is in the display and the unit will tune to that
multiplex and display the signal strength as a bar moving from left to right.
For correct reception the bar should pass the outline box shown in the
display.
To exit this menu at any stage press SETUP.
• Some Multiplexes will appear to have no signal when checked using
the above method this is normal and indicates that the selected
multiplex is not broadcasting in the area where the unit is being used. A
