Using the touch panel
The DDR-47BT sound system has a stylish touch panel instead of
conventional buttons.
Remote control functions
Most of the functions of the DDR-47BT sound system can be controlled
using either the touch panel or the remote control.
GB
To operate the buttons simply touch the button area with the tip of
a finger for about half a second. The clock set and system menu
functions marked with a dot (●) are accessed by means of a long touch
(2-3 seconds) on the appropriate button until the display on the sound
system shows that the command has been accepted.
You may find that at first, the sound system does not always detect
that you have touched a button. If so, try touching with a little more
pressure, or for slightly longer. You will soon find the optimum touch
needed to control your sound system. (See also the section of” Touch
Panel Sensitivity Control”)
The panel may be cleaned using a dry cloth. Do not use abrasives,
cleaning uids or solvents.
However, there are a few functions which are only accessible using the
remote control. These are:
DAB / FM radio station presetsDAB / FM auto-tune
DAB menu functionCD / USB / SD CARD track access
by numbers
CD / USB / SD CARD random
track control
As with the front panel, some operations require a longer operation
of the button (explained in the relevant sections). In this case simply
keep your nger held on the remote control button for 2-3 seconds until
the display on the sound system shows that the command has been
accepted.

Bluetooth remote control options
Your radio has the option of being controlled by an application installed
on an Apple iPhone, iPod touch or iPod. The Bluetooth facility allows
you to ensure that your radio can only be controlled by your own Apple
device rather than someone else’s.
Details of how to link Bluetooth to you iPhone/ iPod touch are explained
in the later section called “Listening to Bluetooth music”
Using the sound system for the rst time
1. Place your sound system on a at surface.
2. Fully extend the telescopic aerial. The aerial should be fully extended
and positioned vertically for optimum reception.
3. Plug the mains lead into the mains socket located on the back of your
sound system ensuring that the plug is pushed fully into the socket.
4. Plug the other end of the mains lead into the wall socket and switch
on the wall socket.
IMPORTANT:
The mains plug is used as the means of connecting the sound system
to the mains supply. The mains socket used for the sound system must
remain accessible during normal use. In order to disconnect the sound
system from the mains completely, the mains plug should be removed
from the mains socket outlet completely.
5. When your sound system is first switched on the clock display will
show 12:00 and the unit will enter standby mode. It will then scan for
DAB radio stations and when stations have been found the clock and
date should be set automatically. Note that the display will not show
any scanning message for this rst scan.
6. If no stations have been found then the clock will not set. You may
need to relocate your sound system to a position giving better reception.
You should then carry out an auto-tune to nd DAB stations. See the
section of 'DAB operation' and also 'Finding New Stations' in the
following pages. The clock will then be set from a DAB broadcast.

MP3 / WMA CD Mode
CD
CD
The DDR-47BT is able to play CD-R and CD-RW discs containing MP3 and WMA files. It is
assumed in this section that a le is equivalent to a CD track.
An MP3 / WMA CD may not contain more than 511 files and not more than 99 folders. MP3
and WMA les should be created with an audio sample rate of 44.1kHz (this is normal for les
created from CD audio content). MP3 and WMA data rates up to 320 kilobits per second are
supported. WMA Lossless les are not supported. The unit will not play les which include digital
rights management (DRM) protection.
When burning CD-R and CD-RW discs with audio les, various problems may arise which could
lead to problems with playback. Typically such problems are caused by poor CD writing or
audio encoding software, or by the hardware settings of the PC’s CD writer, or by the CD being
used. Should such problems arise, contact the customer services of your CD writer or software
manufacturer or look in their product documentation for relevant information. When you are

Recording to SD / USB
Your DDR-47BT sound system has been designed to allow you to make recordings to SD /
SDHC cards or to USB connected memory devices.
Recordings are made in MP3 format at 128k bits per second.
SD/SDHC or USB memory media must use the FAT or FAT32 le system in order to operate with
the DDR-47BT. Such media is usually supplied already formatted or can be formatted using a PC
with a suitable card reader (for SD/SDHC cards) or USB connection (for USB memory).
It is possible to record onto media which already contains les written by the radio or using your
computer. The recorded les will be added to those already present on the media.
Making a recording
1. Select the desired source for the recording (DAB, FM, CD, etc.). AUX-IN is shown in the
illustration. Set the volume to the required listening level (the volume of the recording will not
be affected by this).
2. Insert the media on to which the recording is to be made.
3. Press the Record button on the remote control. The display will show "Record init...". If only
one media type is present, then after a short while recording will start. If both SD and USB media
are detected, then a menu is offered to allow you to choose between Card and USB recording.
Select one or the other as needed using the Tuning Up or Down buttons and then press the
Select button. Recording will then start with the recordiduration being shown on the display.

If recording from a CD, recording will be started from the beginning of the currently playing track.
Each track on the CD will be recorded as a separate le on the media. You may also set up a
programme of tracks before recording if you wish (see the section of 'CD track programming').
4. In order to stop the recording press the Record button once more. Recording will stop and a
le will have been written to the storage media.
Files that have been written to the media are held in a folder called "RECORD". Recordings are
held in sub-folders according to the source used for the recording:
CDIN_xxx for recordings from CD
COP_xxxx for recordings from SD / USB
LINEIN for recordings from DAB, FM, Aux, etc.
The illustration shows the folders as they may appear on a PC running Windows with les in the
LINEIN folder being shown to the right. Other folders on the card were copied there from the PC.
Note:
The SD card / USB memory device should only be removed when recording is stopped.
Removing media while recording is in progress may corrupt data on the card leading to the loss
of les previously written.
The USB connection is primarily intended to be used to allow the DDR-47BT to play MP3 and
WMA les from solid-state ash memory devices. You may be able to play les which have been
stored on a USB hard disc drive (but the drive must have its own power supply). If you wish to
play les from another music player, then we recommend that this is connected to the Auxiliary
input socket - see the section of 'Auxiliary Input Socket'.

4. Press the Record button on the remote control. The display will show "Record init...".
5. If only one media type is present, the audio will stop while the source media is taken back to
the beginning of the current le. Recording will then start.
6. If both SD and USB media are detected, then a menu is offered to allow you to choose between
Card and USB recording. Select one or the other as needed using the Tuning Up or Down
buttons and then press the Select button. The source media will be taken back to the beginning
of the current le and recording will then start.
