Guidelines and standards
This product meets guidelines and standards•
the Low Voltage Directive ( 2006/95/EC ), -
the EMC Directive (2004/108/EC ) and the -
CE Mark Directive. Your unit carries the CE mark and complies with all relevant EU standards.
Properties of the device
The DAB + digital radio is a new digital format, through which you can hear crystal •
clear sound in CD quality.
The radio receives on FM frequencies 87.5-108 MHz ( analog) 174.9 to 239.2 MHz •
and DAB (digital).
You can save 12 station on favorite program places the DAB or FM mode.•
The radio has an integrated alarm function. •
You are able to play out external sources with this device. •
Preparing the device for operation
Connect the device with the supplied power supply to the mains socket (230 V ~ / 50
Hz).
After the initial installation of the network connection temporarily “ Welcome to digital radio “ appears.
The head which comes up during operation needs to have the possibilty to disappear
due to enough circulation of air. The device should not be covered in any way or stored
in a closed furniture during use. There has to be space around it from at least 10 cm.
Please unplug the AC adapter from the outlet when not in use, prolonged absence or
thunderstorms.
Improve antenna reception
The number and quality of received stations depends on the reception conditions
at the installation site. With the telescopic antenna an excellent reception can be
achieved. This antenna must be aligned in full to get the best reception.
Usage of headphones
Using headphones may damage your hearing!
9
Do not listen to the radio at high volume through headphones. This can lead to permanent hearing damage. Before using headphones adjust the sound volume to the
minimum level if you (not supplied ) to connect a pair of headphones, the internal
speaker is muted.
>Use only headphones with 3.5mm stereo plug.
>Plug the headphones into the headphone jack of the device. The sound reproduction
is now done exclusively through the headphones.
>If you want to listen through the speakers again, unplug the headphones from the
headphone jack of the device.
connection of an external sound source
You are able to transmitt the sound of an external device (e.g. MP3 Player, CD-Player)
via the loud speacker of your DAB radio.
Connect the audio cable to the (3.5mm jack) to the audio out of the external device to
the AUX-IN at the rear panel of the radio.
DAB mode
What is DAB?
DAB is a new digital format, through which you can hear crystal clear sound in CD
quality. DAB Broadcast a high-speed data stream in the radio channel. In dierence to
conventional analog radio DAB transmitts multiple channels on the same transmitter.
This is called ensemble or multiplexes. An ensemble consists of the radio station as
well as several service components or data services, which are sent individually by the
radio stations. Learn e.g. under www.digitalradio.de or www.digitalradio.ch.
Data compression
Digital radio uses the of advantages of human hearing. The human ear does not
perceive sounds that are below a certain minimum level. Data which are under the
so-called threshold in quiet can be ltered out. This is possible because in a digital
data stream for each information unit, the corresponding relative volume is also saved
for other units. In addition in a sound signal, the quieter portions are overlapped by
the louder for a given threshold. All the sound information in a piece of music that are
below the so-called hearing threshold can be ltered out of the signal to be transmitted. This leads to a reduction of the transmitted data stream, without any noticeable
dierence in sound to the listener ( MUSICAM ) process.
Audio Stream
Audio streams are continuous data ows, MPEG 1 Audio Layer 2 frames contain and
thus represent acoustic information in digital radio. Thus, familiar radio programs can
10
be transferred and listen at the receiver side. For Digital radio the MUSICAM format
is used, which provides two MPEG compliant PADs. This is referred to as PAD data
services. Digital Radio brings you not only radio wit for additional data. The excellent
Digital radio does not only oer perfect sound quality but also additional information.
This may relate to the current program (eg title, artist) or might be independent (eg,
news, weather, trac tips).
Operation
DAB-/UKW-Mode
>Push the button Mode to switch between DAB mode/FM mode and AUX (external
