For your safety, please read the following text carefully.

This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience. A 3-ampere fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 3-ampere and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362. Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse.

If the plug contains a removable fuse cover you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced. If you lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local dealer.

CAUTION!

IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME THEN THE FUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF AND DISPOSED OF SAFELY. THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED INTO ANY 13-AMPERE SOCKET.

If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring code as stated below. If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Blue: Neutral, Brown: Live. As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured Black or Blue. The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured Brown or Red.

Safety precautions

Placement

Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These conditions can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby shortening the unit’s service life.

Place it at least 15 cm away from wall surfaces to avoid distortion and unwanted acoustical effects.

Do not place heavy items on the unit.

Foreign matter

Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause electric shock or malfunction.

Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric shock or malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the unit from the power supply and contact your dealer.

Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain flammable gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.

Service

Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is interrupted, indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any other problem that is not covered in these instructions occurs, disconnect the AC adaptor and contact your dealer or an authorized service center. Electric shock or damage to the unit can occur if the unit is repaired, disassembled or reconstructed by unqualified persons.

Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the power source if it is not to be used for a long time.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH THE LETTER E, BY THE EARTH SYMBOL OR COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN/YELLOW.

THIS PLUG IS NOT WATERPROOF–KEEP DRY.

Before use

What is DAB?

DAB stands for digital audio broadcasting. It is a new form of radio that is broadcast digitally. Unlike regular analogue broadcasting, digital radio deteriorates less, and is thus able to provide quality sound close to that of a CD.

DAB structure

Band

There are two types of DAB bands, “BAND Ⅲ” (Receivable on this unit) and “L BAND” (Not broadcast in the UK, and not receivable on this unit).

Frequencies

There are 41 frequencies on BAND Ⅲ . Among those frequencies, 7 are used in the UK (current as of March, 2004).

Ensemble, station and service

The number of stations that make up one frequency differ between DAB and analogue radio. Analogue stations all broadcast on different frequencies, even if it is the same company doing the broadcasting. With DAB however, it is possible to broadcast a number of stations on the same frequency. In DAB terminology, a group of stations on the same frequency is called an ensemble.

DAB reception method on this unit

Depending on the region there is a difference between broadcast frequency and stations broadcast along the same frequency. For this reason, a memory of receivable stations should first be created and then selected from those memorized stations as the reception method.

DAB Auto Scan

This function searches for currently receivable stations and inputs them into unit memory. When DAB is selected for the first time, this function starts automatically.

NoteNote

Even if the station is stored into memory, some stations may not broadcast depending on the time of day etc. If this occurs, “NO SERVICE” is displayed.

Station Memory Updating

When there is a station name change, or a new station begins broadcasting, the unit memory is automatically updated when:

• The previous station name is displayed by selecting “STATION TUNE”.

• One of the stations already broadcasting on the same frequency with the new station is displayed by selecting “STATION TUNE”.

NoteNote

• Deleting stations that are no longer broadcasting is not automatic. If you want to delete a station, perform Auto scan again and the new memory is created.

• When a new frequency begins broadcasting, stations on that new frequency are not automatically added to memory. Perform Auto scan to add them to memory. Also, you may need to change the Auto scan range if the new frequency is outside the factory set Auto scan range ( Page 8).

As shown in the diagram, an ensemble consists of a group of stations which have primary services, they can also have secondary services. This means, for example, that commentary on sports events from

different areas can all be broadcast at once.
