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.
Voltage
Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload
the unit and cause a fi re.
Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully
when setting the unit up on a ship or other place where DC
is used.
AC mains lead protection
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not
damaged. Poor connection and lead damage can cause fi re
or electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or place heavy items on
the lead.
Grasp the plug fi rmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the
AC mains lead can cause electric shock.
Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause
electric shock.
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
fl ammable 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 mains lead 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 unqualifi ed persons.
Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the
power source if it is not to be used for a long time.

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 disc.
DAB structureDAB structure
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 41 frequencies on BAND III. Among those
frequencies, 7 are used in the United Kingdom (current as
of January, 2007).
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.
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”.
Note
• 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 (

The unit comes on.
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.
DAB reception method on this unitDAB 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 fi rst be created and then select 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 fi rst time, this function starts
automatically.
Note
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.
Note
“Scan Failed.” appears if no stations are memorized. If this occurs,
