Features

–What is DAB?

DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is a new multimedia broadcasting system that transmits audio programmes with a quality which approaches CD quality. Each DAB broadcast multiplex “services” (radio programmes) into an “ensemble” which are then broadcast. Each service (radio programme) contains “compo- nent,” which you can select and you wish to listen to. 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. DAB programmes are broadcast in Band-III (174 to 240 MHz) and L-Band (1 452 to 1 491 MHz), with each band divided into ensemble (41 in Band-III and 23 in L-Band). These ensemble have its own channel label. For the details of the channel label and its frequency, see “DAB frequency table.” One ensemble is broadcast per channel by each DAB station.

Note

The status of the DAB broadcast depends on your country or region.

DAB broadcast reception

Receiving DAB broadcast means selecting one service among the multiplex radio programmes into an ensemble, not receiving one frequency such as the current FM/MW broadcasts. To receive a DAB broadcast in this unit, it is necessary to scan using the DAB search function and to find the available ensemble in advance. Any broadcast found during the DAB search are stored in the unit. When tuning the unit to the DAB broadcast, it receives the signal according to the stored information list.

–What is RDS?

Introduced by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) in 1987, the Radio Data System (RDS) allows information such as station name, etc., to be received via the 57kHz sub-carrier signal of FM broadcasts. However, the availability of the RDS data varies according to area. It therefore may not always be possible to receive the RDS information.

Initial setting for the DAB

DAB Search makes it easy to create a preset list of receivable DAB broadcasts. When you set up the unit for the first time, or move this unit, adjust the telescopic antenna in the proper position. Then follow the steps below. DAB search automatically creates a list of receivable broadcasts (from minimum BAND-III frequency to maximum L-BAND frequency).

1 Press OPERATE to turn on the radio.

“PUSH AUTO TUNE” appears in the display.

2 Press BAND to select the DAB band. 3 Press AUTO TUNE.

Sound is silent, and “DAB < SEARCHING >” appears in the upper line, and lower line indicated with the square marks will become big from left to right while the scanning.

DAB search takes about 3 minutes. When finished, the unit receives the first service of the lowest ensemble stored by the DAB search.

Notes

• If no broadcasts are found by the DAB search, “DAB < NO ENSEMBLE >” and default frequency appear in the display.

And to cancel the DAB search during the receiving broadcasts, press AUTO TUNE once.

In both cases, the unit returns to the status same as before the DAB search, and the receiving history list will not be changed.

•When you move this unit, search for the DAB broadcasts again.

• If the AC power cord disconnected for a while, the newest receiving history list is replaced to the initial setting. The initial setting list is as follows.

Notes

• Do not charge the dry batteries.

• When you are not going to use the remote for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid any damage caused by leakage and corrosion.

Precautions

• Operate the unit on the power sources specified in “Specifications”.

•The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

•To disconnect the power cord (mains lead), pull it out by the plug, not the cord.

•The nameplate indicating operating voltage, power consumption, etc. is located on the bottom exterior.

•Avoid exposure to temperature extremes, direct sunlight, moisture, sand, dust or mechanical shock. Never leave in a car parked under the sun.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit, unplug the unit and have it checked by a qualified personnel before operating it any further.

• Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that block the ventilation holes.

• Use the unit within a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). If it is used in temperatures higher than this range, numbers may appear in the display which have nothing to do with the frequency being received. If it is used in temperatures lower than this range, the numbers displayed may change very slowly. (These irregularities will disappear and there will be no damage to the unit when the unit is used in the recommended temperature range.)

• In vehicles or buildings, radio reception may be difficult or noisy. Try listening near a window.

• Since a strong magnet is used for the speakers, keep away personal credit cards using magnetic coding or spring-wound watches from the unit to prevent possible damage from the magnet.

•To clean the casing, use a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
