uninstall this unit.

– Improper installation may cause the unit to fall, resulting in injury.

≥ To prevent injury, the unit must be securely attached to the

wall in accordance with the installation instructions.

≥ Do not install the unit where it cannot support the load.

– If the mounting parts are not strong enough, this may cause the unit to fall, resulting in injury.

≥ Do not use installation methods other than instructed.

– This may cause the unit to fall and be damaged, resulting in injury.

≥ Do not install the unit at locations other than vertical walls.

– This may cause the unit to fall and be damaged, resulting in injury.

≥ Take the safety factor for mounting strength into account.

– Insufficient strength will cause the unit to fall, resulting in injury.

≥ The wall on which the unit is to be attached to should be

capable of supporting 33 kg per screw.

– Insufficient strength of the walls will cause the unit to fall in the long run.

≥ Do not disassemble or modify the wall-mounting hanger.

– This will cause the unit to fall and be damaged, resulting in injury.

∫ Notes on installation

≥ Before installation, read the “Safety precautions” and

“Wall mount instructions” for correct installation.

DAB operations

DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is a new form of radio that is broadcast digitally. Unlike regular analogue broadcasting, digital radio deteriorates less, and is thus able to provide quality sound closer to that of a disc.

DAB structure

Bands

There are two types of DAB bands, “BAND III” (receivable in this unit) and “L BAND” (not broadcast in the United Kingdom and not receivable on this unit).

Frequencies

There are 38 frequencies on BAND III. Among these, 10 are used in the United Kingdom (current as of February, 2011).

Ensemble, station and service

The number of stations that makes up one frequency differs between DAB and analogue radio. Analogue stations broadcast on different frequencies, even if it is the same company doing the broadcasting. With DAB, however, it is possible to broadcast a number of stations on the same frequency.

In DAB terminology, an ensemble represents a group of stations on the same frequency.

DAB reception method on this unit

Depending on the region, there is a difference between broadcast frequency and stations broadcast along the same frequency.

For this reason, a memory of receivable stations should first be created and then selected from those memorised stations as the reception method.

DAB Auto scan

This function searches for currently receivable stations and inputs them into the unit’s memory.

When DAB is selected for the first time, this function starts automatically.

≥ Depending on some factors such as the broadcasting time availability, the station may not broadcast even if it is stored into the memory. If this occurs, “NO SERVICE” is displayed.

Station memory updating

When there is a station name change, or a new station begins broadcasting, the unit memory is automatically updated when:

≥ the previous station name is selected.

≥ a new station is on the same frequency as another already memorised station.

Deleting stations that are no longer broadcasting is not automatic. If you want to delete a station, perform Auto scan again and a new memory will be created.

When a new frequency begins broadcasting, stations on the new frequency are not automatically added to the memory.

Perform Auto scan to add them to the memory. You may also need to change the Auto scan range if the new frequency is outside the factory-set Auto scan range (> 16).

Station tune

You can select stations from the created memory (> 15) in alphanumeric order.

As shown in the diagram, an ensemble consists of a group of stations with primary services and secondary services. This means, for example, that commentary on sports events from different areas can all be broadcast at once.

Preset function

You can easily select your favourite stations by using the preset function (> 15).

Initial DAB settings

The first time “DAB” is selected, this unit will start the “DAB

AUTO SCAN” and memorise the stations that are available in your region.

Press [EXT-IN, RADIO] repeatedly to select “DAB”.

When a frequency is tuned, the ensemble corresponding to the frequency is displayed.

The total number of available stations is displayed.

The station first in alphanumeric order is selected.

≥ “SCAN FAILED” is displayed when the Auto scan is unsuccessful.

Adjust the antenna and restart the Auto scanning (> 15) or change the Auto scan frequency range (> 16).

≥ You cannot preset stations when the station is not broadcasting or when the secondary service is selected.

≥ The station occupying a channel is erased if another station is preset in that channel.

To re-Auto scan DAB stations

When new stations are added or when the antenna has been moved, reperform the Auto scan.

Press [RADIO MENU] repeatedly to select

“AUTOSCAN” and then press [OK].

While “START ?” is flashing,

Press [OK].

≥ When updating the memory with Auto scan, preset stations will be erased. Preset them again (> right).

≥ When a frequency is tuned using Auto scanning, the ensemble corresponding to the frequency is displayed for approximately 2 seconds.

≥ Total stations received is displayed for approximately 2 seconds.

Listening to the secondary service

If the station is providing secondary service, “ ” will be displayed. It is possible to change between the primary and secondary service.

Preparation

≥ While listening to the primary service.

Press [RADIO MENU] repeatedly to select

“SECONDARY” and then press [OK].

Press [2, 1] to select the secondary service

and press [OK].

≥ The setting will go back to primary service when changes are made

(e.g. frequency is changed).
