INSTALLING BATTERIES IN THE REMOTE CONTROL
1Press the mark on the battery cover and
slide off the cover.
2Insert the two supplied batteries (AAA, R03,
UM-4) into the battery compartment.
Make sure you insert the batteries according to the
polarity markings (+ and –).
INTRODUCTION
3Close the battery cover.
■ To replace the batteries
If the batteries grow old, the effective operation distance of
the remote control decreases considerably. If this happens,
replace the batteries with two new ones as soon as possible.
Notes
• Do not use an old battery together with new one.
• Do not use different types of batteries (for example, alkaline
and manganese) together. Each type of battery has its own
characteristics even if they are similar in shape.
• If the batteries run out, immediately remove them from the
remote control to prevent an explosion or acid leak.
• Dispose of the batteries according to the regional regulations.
• If a battery starts leaking, dispose of it immediately. Be careful
not to let leaking battery acid come into contact with your skin
or clothing. Before inserting new batteries, wipe the
compartment clean.

Receiving RADIO DATA SYSTEM
DAB TUNER
About DAB
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting), also known as digital
radio, is a new way of radio broadcasting. DAB is
broadcast using digital signals instead of analog signals,
resulting in near CD-quality sound. Analog signals (i.e.
AM/FM) are susceptible to interference (i.e. distortion and
noise) caused by electrical equipment, weather conditions,
tall buildings, mountains, etc.; digital signals are not.
Thus, with DAB, there is virtually interference-free
reception and no hiss or crackle.
Another advantage of DAB is that a large amount of
information can be carried within the digital signal. DAB
is broadcast in blocks of data called ensembles (also
known as multiplexes). Several radio programs (called
primary services) can be broadcasted simultaneously in
each ensemble. This means that you can choose between
several radio programs within one frequency.
In addition to the audio signal, secondary services are also
broadcasted and displayed on this unit’s front panel
display. Part of the secondary services are text data
information called DLS (Dynamic Label Segment). For
more information, see page 31.
Setting up your DAB tuner
An initial scan for DAB services will need to be
performed before the unit can tune into DAB broadcasts.
A channel list is created during the initial scan.

Notes
• You can tune the range of channels are 10A to 12D in UK.
• The sound quality and PAD/SI information are controlled by the
DAB broadcaster, not this unit. Not all DAB broadcasters
transmit PAD/SI information.
• DAB signals are broadcast in Band-III (174 – 240 MHz).

The unit starts to scan for DAB services in the area and
add them to the channel list as they are found. The scan
takes about 10 seconds.
The number of channels found is displayed. The number is
updated when new channels are found.
Once the initial scan is complete and DAB channel list
created, the channels are listed in alphanumeric order.
• If no broadcast services are found, check that the
antenna is correctly connected to the unit.

If the unit is moved to a new area or you want to check if
there are new DAB channels available in your area, you
can perform a scan.
There are two ways to scan certain ranges.
• Local scan: Use it to scan specified ranges in band III.
• Full scan: Use it to scan all ranges in band III.

■ DRC value
Dynamic range is the decibel (dB) range between the
highest and lowest sounds in a broadcast. Some DAB
broadcasters transmit a wide dynamic range (enabling high
quality sound), accompanied by Dynamic Range Control
(DRC) data. The DRC can be used to compress the dynamic
range of the broadcast, making softer sounds easier to hear.
This is especially useful when listening to a DAB service in
a noisy environment or at a low volume (such as at night).
There are three values of DRC you can apply.
