Safety instructions
Keep the unit away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters or other appliances that produce heat.
Ensure that the unit is not placed in such a way as to interfere with proper ventilation. For example the unit should not be placed on soft furnishings that may block ventilation openings or placed in an enclosed unit such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight.
Do not use the unit near water.
Avoid objects or liquids getting into the unit.
Do not remove screws from or open the unit casing.
Care instructions
DMX-50 speaker casings have a wood veneer covering. As with other wood products care must be taken when handling and cleaning to protect the wood from damage.
Do not expose the casings to detergents, solvents or abrasive materials
Do not expose the casings to sources of direct heat such as hot drinks.
Wipe over gently with a soft cloth to clean the casings.
Occasional use of light furniture polish (applied via a soft cloth) will help protect the surface.

Connecting speakers
When connecting speakers connect the red (positive) terminals on DMX-50 to the red terminals on the speaker and black (negative) to black. The speaker cable has a darker tint on one strand to aid connection.
Ensure that the bared ends of the wires are securely gripped by the spring clips. Note that the sound from new speakers should improve over the course of a few days as they are ‘run-in’.
Switch on and off
Before switching on for the first time - ensure the aerial is uncoiled and mounted as high as possible.
When you first plug in your DMX-50 it switches to DAB mode and asks you if you want to perform a UK (UK Band III only) or Full autotune (full Band III) to find all DAB stations available in your area. These stations are stored in a station list and ordered alphanumerically.
The first station on the station list is selected.
To switch your unit off (standby) - press the POWER button on the unit or remote control. You see the standby symbol 
and clock on the screen. Push the INFO button to change between a small clock, large clock and day/time /date display in standby.
To switch your DMX-50 back on press the POWER button again. Your unit starts in whatever mode you were in when you switched off.
Changing the volume
Use the large Volume dial on the main unit or volume buttons on the remote control to adjust the volume. When you adjust the volume you temporarily see the volume scale on screen indicating the current level. You can also Mute the volume using the MUTE button on the main unit or remote control.
Navigating menus
You turn the TUNE/SELECT dial to scroll through menu options or station or track lists and push the dial to select options. In most menus if you do not select anything you return to the previous screen. Alternatively use the
equivalent (
+ Select) remote control buttons. You can also press a shortcut button to select the option shown on screen next to that button.
4
Listening to DAB radio
To listen to DAB radio press the DAB/FM button on the main unit or Mode button on the remote until you see DAB in the top left of the screen.
When you first switch on your DMX-50 it automatically enters DAB mode, autotunes to find all DAB stations available in your area and lists them in alphanumeric order.
Selecting a station
To change stations, turn the TUNE/SELECT dial to scroll through the station list, then push the dial to tune to the highlighted station. Alternatively use the (
+ Select) remote control buttons.
The currently selected station is shown in the box at the top of the screen.
Changing the information displayed
To change what you see on screen while you listen to DAB radio press the INFO button. Choose between the following options:
Text |
Scrolling text broadcast by most stations. |
Reception info |
DAB channel and frequency of the station you are listening |
|
to, signal strength meter and signal quality reading. As a |
|
guide, values from 85 to 100 indicate good reception, 70 to |
|
84 average reception and 0 to 69 poor reception. |
Broadcast info |
Name of the multiplex the current station belongs to. |
|
Multiplexes are groups of stations broadcast by a single |
|
operator. Description of the content broadcast by the |
|
station, Stereo or Mono indicator and data rate at which the |
|
station is being transmitted. This rate is set by the stations |
|
to suit the type of material being transmitted. High rates |
|
generally mean higher quality. |
Presets |
DAB presets for quick access to your favourite stations using |
|
the six shortcut buttons. |
Date and time |
Date and time broadcast by the multiplex. |
ReVu™ - Pausing and rewinding radio
ReVu mode lets you pause and rewind live DAB digital radio.
DMX-50 constantly stores audio and text from the station you are tuned to in its memory. The amount stored depends on how long you have been listening to that station and the data rate of the broadcast. You can access this stored audio and pause or rewind live radio over short periods (approximately 10 to 20 minutes depending on data rate).
Once the memory is full, ReVu keeps adding to the memory but starts to overwrite the oldest stored audio and text.
You can enter ReVu mode in two ways:
Paused - press and release the ReVu button or pause button on the remote
Fast forward/rewind - press and hold the ReVu button for three seconds or press the fast forward/rewind or skip forward/back buttons on the remote
