CAUTION:

<

Switch off the power to all equipment before making connections.

<

Read the instructions of each component you intend to use with this unit.

<

Be sure to insert each plug securely. To prevent hum and noise, avoid bundling the signal interconnection cables together with the AC power cord or speaker cables.

D

DIGITAL OUT terminal

DAB’s digital audio signal is output from this terminal. If you want to record digitally, or decode the signal using an external digital decoder, connect to the digital input terminal of a digital recording device or a decoder using a commercially-available optical digital cable.

< When inserting the plug of the optical cable, the protective shutter of the terminal will open and you should hear it click into position when fully inserted. Be careful that you do not force the plug, because this could result in damage to the protective shutter, the cable, or the unit itself.

• You can use the system remote control unit RC-957

(provided with A-H300mk

@

) to operate this unit.

Connect the REMOTE CONTROL jack to the REMOTE

CONTROL jack (A or B) of A-H300mk

AC Power Cord

After all other connections are complete, connect the plug to the AC wall socket.

Be sure to connect the power cord to an AC outlet which supplies the correct voltage.

Hold the power plug when plugging or unplugging the power cord.

Connecting Antennas (AM/FM)

AM Indoor Loop Antenna

The high-performance AM loop antenna provided with this unit is sufficient for good reception in most areas.

To stand the loop antenna on a surface, fix the claw to the slot in the antenna base.

FM Indoor Antenna

Connect the lead-type FM antenna to the FM 75Ω socket, extend the lead and tune the tuner to your favorite station

(see page 13). Adjust the antenna in a suitable location like a window frame or wall until the reception is best and then affix the antenna in that position using thumb tacks, push pins or any other suitable means.

Connect the loop antenna’s wires to the AM antenna terminals.

Place the antenna on a shelf or hang it on a window frame, etc., in the direction which gives the best reception. Keep all other wires such as power cords, speaker wires or interconnect wires as far away as possible from the antenna.

AM Loop Antenna

AM Outdoor

Antenna

FM Outdoor Antenna

In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be necessary to use an outdoor FM antenna. Generally, a 3-element antenna will be sufficient; if you live in an area where the FM signals are particularly weak, it may be necessary to use one with 5 or more elements.

< Disconnect the FM indoor antenna when using an outdoor antenna.

Make sure to connect:

white wire q right terminal

black wire q left terminal

< If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver sufficient reception (often due to being too far from the transmitter or in a concrete building, etc.), it may be necessary to use an outdoor AM antenna.

Use either a high quality commercial AM antenna or, if not available, an insulated wire more than 5 m long, strip one end, and connect this to the terminal as shown.

The antenna wire should be strung outdoors or indoors near a window. For better reception, connect the GND terminal to a reliable ground.

Note:

Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not disconnect the AM loop antenna.

4

Connecting Antennas (DAB)

DAB Indoor Antenna

Connect the T-type DAB antenna to the DAB socket, extend the lead vertically and attach it to a window frame or wall with thumbtacks, or the like, where reception is best.

DAB Outdoor Antenna

In an area where DAB signals are weak, it will be necessary to use an outdoor DAB antenna. There are two main types available.

Dipole:

For use in marginal signal areas. This type of antenna is omnidirectional and should increase the strength of all DAB stations being received.

Multi-element antenna:

Also for use in marginal or poor signal areas. This type of antenna is directional and has high gain. This antenna needs to be pointed at the transmitter you want to listen to.

Multi-element

Dipole

<

You can check the antenna adjustment or positioning for the best reception by viewing the signal strength on the display.

The signal strength is displayed as a bar graph by pressing the

ENTER button once.

< It is possible to use a TV or FM antenna with your DAB tuner as this is normally mounted externally. This may give a stronger signal than a simple internal antenna, however it would not be tuned specifically for DAB reception.

You would need to change the plug on your TV/FM antenna to an F type, and it may also be necessary to use a signal booster to enhance the signal.

Troubleshooting

If you experience any problems with the unit, please take a moment to look through this chart and see if you can solve the problem yourself before you call your dealer or a TEAC service center.

General

No power

e Check the connection to the AC power supply. Check and make sure the AC source is not a switched outlet and that, if it is, the switch is turned on. Make sure there is power to the AC outlet by plugging another item such as a lamp or fan.

No sound

e Check the connection to the amplifier.

e Check the operation of the amplifier.

e Ensure that T-H300DABmk @ and connected amplifier are turned on.

Cannot listen to any station, or signal is too weak.

e Make sure the antenna is properly connected (see page 6).

e Tune in the station properly (see page 13).

e Install the antenna again after relocating it to a better reception position.

e An external antenna may be required.

Sound is noisy.

e Place the antenna as far away from a TV or a CD player as possible.

e If a TV or a CD player is near the unit, turn it off.

Cannot access secondary services.

e At the time of publishing not many secondary services are available, this will increase as more DAB stations start broadcasting. If a secondary service station is available, the secondary indicator >> will be displayed next to the station name.

Display goes out or displayed ‘service off air’.

e This may occur if a broadcaster changes the label of a service or removes a label whilst you are listening to it. The

T-H300DABmk

@ will try to retune to this station, or alternatively follow the procedure for auto tune on page 7.

Cannot listen to the selected station.

e Ensure you have pressed the ENTER button when you want to listen to your selection. The station you are currently listening to will be displayed on the first line of the display, as you scroll through the station order list the second line will show other station options. Press the ENTER button to activate your selection.

A burbling sound is heard on some stations.

e DAB like other digital media is good at producing quality audio from a low level signal, however if this signal level is too low a ‘burbling’ sound can sometimes be heard. To reduce this, try repositioning your antenna to gain maximum signal strength.

If normal operation cannot be recovered, unplug the power cord from the outlet and plug it again.

Though the broadcast is stereo, it sounds monaural.

e Press the FUNCTION/FM MODE button (see page 13).

Maintenance

If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe with a soft cloth or use diluted neutral cleaning liquid. Be sure to remove any fluid completely. Do not use thinner, benzine or alcohol as they may damage the surface of the unit.

About DAB Specificatioins

With this unit you can receive and listen to Digital Audio

Broadcast (DAB) programmes. DAB uses digital, not analogue signals, resulting in near CD-quality audio with virtually interference-free reception. Along with superior quality audio,

DAB can also deliver additional audio channels and text. In the future, computer data and images are also possible.

Digital radio is broadcast as groups of data called ensembles or multiplexes. Each multiplex can contain a number of stations

(services) and each station contains a primary service and can contain secondary services as illustrated in the following diagram.

SERVICES

Each multiplex is transmitted in a set frequency range and received by this unit for decoding. You can receive multiplexes broadcast in the 174-240 MHz frequency band and store the services in each multiplex for you to access. The number of multiplexes you receive depend on your location. Channels used in the UK are in the range 10A to 12D.

Multiplexes and stations have labels (names) that are used to identify them. Instead of needing to know the particular frequency of your favourite broadcast, you can simply select the station name. Secondary services and additional data such as text or multiplex info are also available.
