Notes on CD-R and CD-RW
This unit can play CD-R and CD-RW recorded with CD-DA or MP3. Use an audio recording disc for CD-DA and finalise* it when you finish recording. * A process performed after recording that enables
CD-R or CD-RW players to play audio CD-R and
CD-RW. The unit may not be able to play some discs due to the condition of the recording. Do not use irregularly shaped CDs. Do not attach extra labels and stickers. Do not use CDs with labels and stickers that are coming off or with excessive adhesive under the labels and stickers. Do not attach scratch-proof covers or any other kind of accessories. Do not write anything on the CDs. Do not clean CDs with liquids (Wipe with a soft and dried cloth).
Creating MP3 files playable on this unit
Maximum number of tracks and albums: 999 tracks and 255 albums. Compatible compression rate: Between 64 kbps and 320 kbps (stereo). 128 kbps (stereo) is recommended. Disc formats: ISO9660 level 1 and level 2 (except for extended formats). The time for reading TOC depends on the number of the tracks, folders or folder structures.
Limitations on MP3
This unit is compatible with multi-sessions and it takes more time to start playing. This unit cannot play files recorded using packet write. If the disc includes both MP3 and normal audio data (CD-DA), the unit plays the type recorded in the inner part of the disc. If the disc includes both MP3 and other types of audio data (e.g. WMA or WAV), the unit plays only the MP3. Depending on how you create the MP3 files, they may not play in the order you numbered them or may not play at all.

DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) 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 closer to that of a disc.
Bands
There are two types of DAB bands, “BAND III” (receivable in this unit) and “L BAND” (not broadcast in the United Kingdom and not receivable on this unit).
Frequencies
There are 38 frequencies on BAND III. Among these, 10 are used in the United Kingdom (current as of January, 2010).
Ensemble, station and service
The number of stations that makes up one frequency differs between DAB and analogue radio. Analogue stations 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, an ensemble represents a group of stations on the same frequency.
As shown in the diagram, an ensemble consists of a group of stations with primary services and secondary services. This means, for example, that commentary on sports events from different areas can all be broadcast at once.

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 memorised stations as the reception method.
DAB Auto scan
This function searches for currently receivable stations and inputs them into the unit memory. When DAB is selected for the first time, this function starts automatically.
Depending on some factors such as the broadcasting time availability, the station may not broadcast even if it is stored into the memory. 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”. the new station is displayed by selecting “STATION TUNE” where another station has already broadcast on the same frequency .
Deleting stations that are no longer broadcasting is not automatic. If you want to delete a station, perform Auto scan again and a new memory will be created. When a new frequency begins broadcasting, stations on the new frequency are not automatically added to the memory. Perform Auto scan to add them to the memory. You may also need to change the Auto scan range if the new frequency is outside the factory-set Auto scan range ( page 10).
Station tune
You can select stations from the memory created ( page 9) in alphanumeric order. You can easily select your favourite stations by using presets ( page 9).
