About DAB+ (Digital Audio Broadcasting)

Digital Audio Broadcasting is a digital transmission system where audio signals are converted to digital signals for broadcasting. DAB+ is broadcast as a group of data called multiplex (ensemble) which may contain one or more stations (services). Each station contains a primary service and there may be one or more secondary services. This allows several programmes or services to be transmitted on a single frequency.

Auto Scan

When turned on for the first time, the unit scans radio stations automatically to create a station list. You can make the auto scan again when you move the unit to other areas or add multiplex channels to the station list.

Chapter 14:

PHASE CONTROL technology

PHASE CONTROL technology is used with this unit. During multi-channel playback in a typical home theater, the

LFE (Low Frequency Effects) signals and low-pitched components contained in various channels are routed to the subwoofer or other optimum speaker. However, in principle, this routing process results in a frequency where the phase is shifted (group delay), leading to problems where the lowfrequency sounds only arrive delayed or low-pitched sounds cancel each other out due to interference with other channels. The PHASE CONTROL technology in the unit is used to recreate powerful low-pitched sounds that are faithful to the original sounds.

The phase indicates the time relationship between two sound waves. Two sounds waves are said to be "in phase" if their peaks match up with each other, and the phases are said to be "out of phase" if their peaks do not match up.

When the PHASE CONTROL technology is used, it can provide the following effects when the sound source is played back.

No PHASE CONTROL technology

Note

•The PHASE CONTROL technology is always activated.

Phase Control technology is a trademark assigned to products that provide matching of the phase characteristics from recording to playback based on the PHASE CONTROL technology concept developed by PIONEER.

• Rhythm is out of phase and unclear

• Poor quality of low-pitched sounds

• Musical instruments have an unrealistic sound

With PHASE CONTROL technology

•Clear rhythm

• Low-pitched sounds keep their quality

• Musical instruments have a realistic sound

• Cordless phones

• Cordless facsimiles

•Microwave ovens

• Wireless LAN devices (IEEE802.11b/g)

• Wireless AV equipment

• Wireless controllers for game systems

• Microwave-based health aids

•Some baby monitors

Other, less common, equipment that may operate on the same frequency:

• Anti-theft systems

• Amateur radio stations (HAM)

• Warehouse logistic management systems

• Discrimination systems for train or emergency vehicles

Scope of operation

Use of this unit is limited to home use. (Transmission distances may be reduced depending on communication environment).

In the following locations, poor condition or inability to receive radio waves may cause the audio to be interrupted or stopped:

• In reinforced concrete buildings or steel framed or ironframed buildings.

• Near large metallic furniture.

• In a crowd of people or near a building or obstacle.

• In a location exposed to the magnetic field, static electricity or radio wave interference from radio communication equipment using the same frequency band (2.4 GHz) as this unit, such as a 2.4 GHz wireless LAN device (IEEE802.11b/g) or microwave oven.

• If you live in a heavily populated residential area (apartment, townhouse, etc.) and if your neighbor's microwave is placed near your system, you may experience radio wave interference. If this occurs, move your unit to a different place. When the microwave is not in use, there will be no radio wave interference.

Radio wave reflections

The radio waves received by this unit include the radio wave coming directly from the device equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology (direct wave) and waves coming from various directions due to reflections by walls, furniture and building (reflected waves). The reflected waves (due to obstacles and reflecting objects) further produce a variety of reflected waves as well as variation in reception condition depending on locations. If the audio cannot be received properly due to this phenomenon, try moving the location of the device equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology a little. Also note that audio may be interrupted due to the reflected waves when a person crosses or approaches the space between this unit and the device equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology.

Also, the compatibility of file formats varies depending on the type of server. Check with your server to ensure the compatibility of file formats supported by your server.

• If an attempt is made to play files with unsupported formats, the sound may be intermittent or be accompanied by noise. In such cases, confirm that the file format is compatible with this unit.

• Internet Radio playback may be affected by the Internet communications environment, and in this case playback may not be possible even with the file formats listed here.

• For WAV, FLAC, AIFF and Apple Lossless files, if music files with the same format, sampling frequency, quantization bitrate and channel are queued up sequentially, gapless playback will be possible.

- If the format has been changed on the server (transcode), gapless playback will not be possible.

- Gapless playback is not possible in DMR mode.
