Welcome To View Quest

View Quest is a unique British brand inspired by the fusion of Sound and Style.

At View Quest we believe that colour and design is an important part of who we are, so why

should the technology we buy only be Black or Silver and lacking individuality of design?

Our award winning acoustic development programme ensures all our products feature the latest

technology and unbeaten sound quality. Couple this with our passion for the creative world of: the arts,

fashion & interior design and this means our products don’t just sound great, they look great too.

So thank you for joining the View Quest Revolution with our award

winning technology that’s designed to match your style.

We encourage you to fall in love with View Quest and your new Hepburn.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

What can my Hepburn do apart from look fab?

Here’s a brief run-down of your Hepburn’s capabilities. Everything is explained fully later in this guide.

Bluetooth speaker

Lets you play audio from a Bluetooth source like a phone or mp3 player, and lets you control the playback from your Hepburn. The tracks on your phone will never have sounded so good.

DAB/DAB+ receiver

Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) is the next big thing in radio. Clarity, station choice and ease of tuning are

often cited as benets. There are two versions, DAB and DAB+. Your Hepburn works with either.

FM Radio

DAB isn’t everywhere, so there’s an FM radio in your Hepburn so that you can still listen to radio wherever DAB is not available.

Auxiliary connection

Lets you plug in and listen to an external audio source that doesn’t do Bluetooth, so your older devices aren’t left out.

Control from your smartphone or tablet

No more missing remote controls! The View Quest App, available free for Android and iPhone devices, lets you sit back, relax and control every aspect of your Hepburn.

Phone Charger

When plugged in to the mains your Hepburn can charge a suitable phone or music player using its built-in USB connector. Convenient, and saves a power socket.

Dual Alarms

Wake up to your favourite radio station – or the buzzer.

Countdown Timer

A cooking timer with a range of up to 99 minutes makes your Hepburn even more useful in the kitchen.

Hepburn Operation Guide

2. Once the scanning is complete the DAB/DAB+ stations will be displayed in alphanumeric order. The rst

station in the list will be selected. Note: if no DAB/DAB+ signal is found in your area, it may be necessary to relocate your radio to a

stronger signal area. Websites such as www.ukdigitalradio.com in the UK feature handy postcode

nders that will tell you what DAB channels you can expect to receive.

Selecting another DAB/DAB+ Station

While a program is playing, turn the –TUNING + knob to cycle through available stations, and then press

the –TUNING + knob to conrm the station you want to play.

Updating the Stations List

Press the MENU button, turn the –TUNING+ knob to select Full scan, and then press the –TUNING + knob

to conrm. Scan will commence.

Displaying Signal Strength

While playing a DAB/DAB+ program, repeatedly press the INFO button until the display shows a signal bar indicating the strength of the current station.

Manual Tuning

1. Press the MENU button, turn the –TUNING+ knob to select Manual tune, and then press the

–TUNING+ knob to conrm. The display will show the channel number and frequency.

2. Turn the –TUNING+ knob to step through the channels and then press the –TUNING+ knob to select the current channel. Note: If there is a multiplex corresponding to this channel and frequency, then after a few

seconds the display will show a tuning meter with the signal strength and the multiplex.

Getting Started

Carefully remove your Hepburn from its box. You may wish to store the packaging for future use.

Inside the box you will nd:

- Your Hepburn

- Power Adapter with plugs for UK and mainland Europe

- User Manual

Positioning your Hepburn

Place your Hepburn on a at / stable surface, with reference to the safety information section in this

manual.

Adjusting the Aerial

The aerial should be extended to ensure you receive the best signal possible in both DAB and FM radio modes. Later on it may be necessary to alter the position of your Hepburn and its aerial to achieve the best reception.

Turning the Unit On and Off

1. Connect the plug at the end of power adapter cable to the DC in jack on the back of your Hepburn. Insert the power adapter into the mains socket.

2. Turn the mains power on and then press the POWER button to turn on the unit.

Pressing the POWER button again switches your Hepburn to standby mode. To switch the unit off completely, unplug the power adapter from the mains socket.

Volume Control

Adjust the radio volume by turning the – VOLUME + knob.

Using DAB Mode

Note: When you turn on the radio it will automatically search and store all the available stations. You should conduct an additional Full Scan to ensure all stations are picked up and stored. It is also recommended every few months to run a new scan to pick up any new DAB/ DAB+ stations that may have begun broadcasting after purchasing your Hepburn.

1. Repeatedly press the SOURCE button until DAB is shown on the display. For the rst time your Hepburn

will carry out a full scan and store a list of stations in memory.

Page 12

Hepburn Operation Guide

Using FM Mode Selecting FM Mode

1. Press the SOURCE button repeatedly until FM is displayed.

2. On rst use the display will show 87.50MHz, the start of the FM frequency range. Otherwise, the last

listened-to FM station will be selected.

Scanning for FM Stations

1. To manually scan FM stations, while frequency is displayed, turn the –TUNING+ knob clockwise/ anticlockwise to increase/decrease frequency by 0.05MHz per step.

2. To automatically scan, turn the –TUNING+ knob clockwise or anticlockwise and then press the –TUNING+ knob. Your Hepburn will scan forwards or backwards until it reaches the next available station. To scan forwards, turn the –TUNING+ knob clockwise before pressing it. To scan backwards turn the –TUNING+ knob anticlockwise before pressing it.

Setting Scan Preferences

By default, FM scans stop at any available station. This may result in tuning to a weak station, resulting in poor sound quality. Your Hepburn helps you avoid weak stations.

1. To change the scan settings to stop only at stations with good signal strength, press the MENU button,

turn the –TUNING+ knob to select Scan Setting, and then press the –TUNING+ knob to conrm.

2. Turn the –TUNING+ knob to select ‘Strong stations only’, and press the –TUNING+ knob to conrm your

selection.

Forcing mono for weak stations

By default, all stereo stations are reproduced in stereo. For weak stations, this may result in poor sound quality. Your Hepburn can offset this effect by playing weak stations in mono.

1. To play weak stations in mono, press the MENU button, turn the –TUNING+ knob to select Audio setting,

and then press the –TUNING+ knob to conrm.

2. Turn the –TUNING+ knob to select ‘Forced mono’ and press the –TUNING+ knob to conrm.

3. To exit manual tune, press the –TUNING+ knob again.

Setting Dynamic Range Control (DRC)

You can set the compression level of stations to eliminate the differences in dynamic range or sound level between radio stations. If loud stations are too loud while quiet stations are too quiet, DRC may help.

Note: DRC off indicates no compression DRC low indicates little compression DRC high indicates maximum compression

1. Press the MENU button, turn the –TUNING+ knob to select DRC, and press the –TUNING+ knob to conrm.

2. Turn the –TUNING+ knob to select ‘DRC high’, ‘DRC low’ or ‘DRC off’, and then press the –TUNING+ knob to

conrm your setting.

Changing Station Display Order

You may want to display your stations in a different order. Your options are:

Alphanumeric: Display all stations in alphanumeric order. Ensemble: List currently broadcasting active stations before inactive ones. Valid: Remove inactive stations from the station list.

1. Press the MENU button, turn the –TUNING+ knob to select Station order, and then press the –TUNING+

knob to conrm.

2. Turn the –TUNING+ knob to select ‘Alphanumeric’, ‘Ensemble’ or ‘Valid’, and then press the –TUNING+ knob

to conrm your selection.

Pruning Your Station List

This feature enables your radio to remove inactive stations from the station list.

1. Press the MENU button, turn the –TUNING+ knob to select Prune, and then press the –TUNING+ knob to

conrm.
