Getting Started

Unpacking

Check that you received the following items with the tuner:

Audio cord (1)

AM loop aerial (1)

FM wire aerial (1)

DAB wire aerial (1)

Remote commander (1)

R6 (size AA) batteries (2)

Inserting batteries into the remote

You can control this unit using the supplied remote. Insert two R6 (size AA) batteries by matching the + and – on the batteries. When using the remote, point it at the remote sensor on this unit.

zWhen replace batteries

With normal use, the batteries should last for about six months. When the remote no longer operates the tuner, replace all the batteries with new ones.

Notes

Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid place.

Do not drop any foreign object into the remote casing, particularly when replacing the batteries.

Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight or lighting apparatuses. Doing so may cause a malfunction.

If you will not use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery leakage and corrosion.

Hooking Up the System

Before you get started

Turn off the power to all components before making any connections.

Do not connect the mains lead until all of the connections are completed.

Be sure to make connections firmly to avoid hum and noise.

When connecting an audio cord, be sure to match the colour-coded pins to the appropriate jacks: White (left) to White; and Red (right) to Red.

AM aerial hookups

This section describes how to connect the supplied AM loop aerial. For the specific location of the AM ANTENNA terminals, see the illustration below.

AM ANTENNA

What will I need?

• AM loop aerial (supplied) (1)

1Unwrap 2 lengths of the braided lead wire from around the frame of the aerial. Be careful to unwrap only the braided section of the lead wire. Do not unwrap more than 2 lengths of the lead wire. Also, be careful not to unbraid the lead wire.

4Adjust the aerial direction for the best reception. The AM loop aerial has a directivity which detects the signal from some angles more strongly than others. Set the aerial to the orientation which provides the best receiving condition.

If a high pitched noise (beat noise) occurs when recording AM broadcasts, adjust the position of the AM loop aerial so that the noise disappears.

If you live in a building constructed of reinforced concrete, or with a steel frame, you may not be able to achieve good reception since the radio waves become weaker indoors. In this case, we recommend connecting an optional aerial.

zFor stations that are difficult to receive

Try repositioning the loop aerial while tuning. Placing the supplied AM loop aerial near a window will help improve reception quality.

FM aerial hookups

With an FM outdoor aerial, you can obtain a higher FM broadcast sound quality. We recommend that you use the supplied FM wire aerial only temporarily until you install an FM outdoor aerial. For the specific location of the FM ANTENNA terminal, see the illustration below.

Overview of DAB

DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is a new multimedia broadcasting system that transmits audio programmes with a quality which is comparable from the current AM broadcasts to that of CDs.

Each DAB station multiplex radio programmes (services) into an ensemble which it then broadcasts. Each service contains one or more components. All services and components are identified by name, so you can access any of them without having to know their frequencies.

Furthermore, additional information (called programme associated data) can be broadcast along with the services in the form of text.

Notes

The status of the DAB broadcast depends on your country or region. It may be not broadcasted or may be in the test phase.

DAB programmes are broadcast in Band-III (174 to 240 MHz) and/or L-Band (1,452 to 1,491 MHz), with each band divided into channels (41 in Band-III and 23 in L- Band). These channels have its own channel label. For details of the channel label and its frequency, see the list in the page 21. One ensemble is broadcast per channel by each DAB station.

Using the Radio Data System

(FM RDS)

What you can do with RDS

The Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting service that allows radio stations to send additional information along with the regular radio programme signal. This tuner offers you three convenient RDS features: Displaying the RDS information; Monitoring traffic, news, or weather information programmes; and Locating a station by programme type. RDS is available only on FM stations.*

Note

RDS may not work properly if the station you tuned to is not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the signal strength is weak.

*Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do they provide the same types of services. If you are not familiar with the RDS system, check with your local radio stations for details on RDS services in your area.

Receiving RDS broadcasts

Simply select a station from the FM band.

When you tune in a station that provides RDS services, the RDS indicator and the station name appears in the display.

Notes

If there is an emergency announcement by governmental authorities, “ALARM” flashes in the display.

If a station is not providing a particular RDS service, “NO...” (such as “NO PTY”) appears in the display.

Monitoring traffic, news, or weather information programmes (RDS EON/DAB Announcement) Z

Enhanced Other Networks (EON) and DAB announcement allows the tuner to automatically switch to a station broadcasting traffic, news, or weather information. After the programme ends, the tuner switches back to the station you were listening to. To use this function, be sure to store the stations beforehand.

Préparation

Déballage

Vérifiez si vous avez reçu les éléments suivants avec le syntoniseur:

Câble audio (1)

Antenne boucle AM (1)

Antenne filaire FM (1)

Antenne filaire DAB (1)

Télécommande (1)

Piles R6 (AA) (2)

Installation des piles dans la télécommande

La télécommande fournie vous permet de contrôler cet appareil. Introduisez deux piles AA (R6) en faisant correspondre les polarités + et - des piles. Lors de l’utilisation d’une télécommande, orientez-la vers le capteur de télécommande de cet appareil.

zQuand remplacer les piles

En utilisation normale, les piles doivent durer environ six mois. Lorsque la télécommande ne commande plus le syntoniseur, remplacez toutes les piles par des neuves.

Remarques

Ne laissez pas la télécommande dans un endroit extrêmement chaud et humide.

Ne laissez pas pénétrer de corps étranger dans le boîtier de la télécommande, surtout lorsque vous remplacez les piles.

N’exposez pas le capteur de télécommande aux rayons directs du soleil ou vers des éclairages. Vous risquez de provoquer un dysfonctionnement dans ces cas-là.

Si vous n’utilisez pas la télécommande pendant une période prolongée, retirez les piles pour éviter des dégâts dus à une fuite des piles et à la corrosion.

Raccordement du système

Avant de commencer

Mettez tous les composants hors tension avant d’effectuer toute connexion.

Ne branchez pas la fiche secteur avant d’avoir effectué toutes les connexions.

Veillez à réaliser les connexions correctement pour éviter un grondement et des parasites.

Lors du raccordement d’un câble audio, veillez à faire coïncider les broches marquées par une couleur aux prises appropriées: blanc (gauche) sur blanc; et rouge (droite) sur rouge.

Raccordement de l’antenne AM

Cette section décrit comment raccorder l’antenne boucle AM fournie. Pour connaître l’emplacement spécifique des bornes AM ANTENNA, reportez-vous à l’illustration ci-dessous.

AM ANTENNA

De quoi ai-je besoin?

• Antenne boucle AM (fournie) (1)

1Déroulez 2 longueurs du fil torsadé du cadre de l’antenne. Veillez à ne dérouler que la section torsadée du fil. Ne déroulez pas plus de 2 longueurs de fil. De même, veillez à ne pas redresser le fil torsadé.

4Ajustez l’orientation de l’antenne pour la meilleure réception possible.

L’antenne boucle AM présente un gain qui détecte mieux le signal de certains angles que d’autres. Placez l’antenne dans le sens qui offre la meilleure réception possible.

Si des sons aigus (son de battement) se produisent lors de l’enregistrement d’émissions AM, réglez la position de l’antenne AM de sorte que le bruit disparaisse.

Si vous habitez dans un bâtiment en béton armé, ou avec une structure d’acier, il se peut que vous n’obteniez pas une bonne réception étant donné que les ondes radio sont plus faibles à l’intérieur. Dans ce cas, nous vous recommandons de raccorder une antenne en option.

zPour les stations difficiles à capter

Essayez de repositionner l’antenne boucle pendant que vous accordez la station. Positionner l’antenne boucle AM fournie près d’une fenêtre devrait améliorer la qualité de la réception.

Raccordement de l’antenne FM

Avec une antenne FM extérieure, vous pouvez obtenir une qualité sonore en FM supérieure. Nous vous recommandons d’utiliser l’antenne filaire FM fournie temporairement seulement jusqu’à ce que vous installiez une antenne FM extérieure. Pour connaître l’emplacement spécifique de la borne FM ANTENNA, reportez-vous à l’illustration ci-dessous.
