Introduction

The Myryad has been designed for ease of use as a complete radio
system.

It features both FM (with RDS) and DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting)
tuners. It also allows for an auxiliary connections through the LINE IN
on the rear panel and—with the optional Music Pack¹—a full function
connection for an iPod® through the M-PORT.

It has a three-way speaker system with 100mm bass driver, delivering
room–fi lling hi-fi stereo sound and seperate bass/treble controls
allows adjustment of sound.

The LINE OUT connection allows for connection to hi-fi equipment.

The built-in alarm system offers multiple wake-up options.

The headphone socket has a amplifi er with dedicated tone controls,
ensuring the best possible sound quality.

The is highly fl exible and can be tailored to individual preferences.
Doing so will take just a little more investigation but will reward
discerning listeners with exactly the sound and operation that would
be expected from a radio belonging to the Myryad Performance
Lifestyle range.

Note: The fi rst time that the RS is powered up, it will start a DAB scan
which cannot be interrupted unless the unit is powered down. If powered
down, a full DAB scan will need to be done to ensure a complete list
of available DAB stations (refer to ‘Using the Menu–Scanning for DAB
Stations’, page 17).
