Preparing the DAB tuning

Model For

U.K., Europe, Russia and Australia

Before listening to DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) radio, perform an initial scan to register the DAB radio stations automatically.

Select “TUNER” as the input source.

Press BAND to select the DAB band.

Press [jTUNING] to start an initial scan.

When the initial scan finishes, the unit automatically tunes in to the first DAB radio station in order by frequency.

NOTE

DAB uses digital signals for clearer sound and more stable reception compared to analog signals. The unit can also receive DAB+ (an upgraded version of DAB) that allows for more stations using MPEG-4 HE-AAC v2 audio codec, which has a more efficient transmission method.

Be sure to check the DAB coverage in your area in that not all areas are currently being covered. For a list of nationwide DAB statuses and worldwide DAB frequencies, check WorldDMB online at http://www.worlddab.org/.

If no DAB radio stations are found by an initial scan, the front display will change to the initial Scan menu. Press [jTUNING] to start an initial scan again.

You can check reception strength of each DAB channel label. Press MODE two times to view the Tune AID menu. Then, select the desired DAB channel label. The reception strength of DAB channel label is displayed in 0 (none) to 100 (best).

To perform an initial scan again after some DAB radio stations are stored, press MODE. If you perform an initial scan again, the DAB radio stations currently registered to the preset numbers will be cleared.
