Properties of the device

The DAB + digital radio is a new digital format, through which you can hear crystal
clear sound in CD quality.
The radio receives on FM frequencies 87.5-108 MHz ( analog) 174.9 to 239.2 MHz and
DAB (digital).
You can save 10 station on favorite program places the DAB or FM mode.
The display has a light. This can be activated at different stages (see display illumina-
tion ).

Preparing the device for operation

Connect the device with the supplied AC adapter to the mains (230 V ~ / 50 Hz).

>To bring power to the device, the cable of the AC adapter needs first be connected
into the DC 6V (page 5 # 5 ) on the unit and then plug the power adapter into the
socket 230 V ~ / 50 Hz plug.
>After the initial installation of the network connection temporarily “ Welcome to
digital radio “ appears.
Please unplug the AC adapter from the outlet when not in use, prolonged absence or
thunderstorms.

Improve antenna reception

The number and quality of received stations depends on the reception conditions at
the installation site. With the wired antenna an excellent reception can be achieved.
This antenna must be aligned in full to get the best reception.

Usage of headphones

Using headphones may damage your hearing!

Do not listen to the radio at high volume through headphones. This can lead to per-
manent hearing damage. Before using headphones adjust the sound volume to the
minimum level if you (not supplied ) to connect a pair of headphones, the internal
speaker is muted.

>Use only headphones with 3.5mm stereo plug.
>Plug the headphones into the headphone jack of the device. The sound reproduction
is now done exclusively through the headphones.

After changing only the small DAB or the FM logo is displayed right next to the time.

DAB mode
What is DAB?

DAB is a new digital format, through which you can hear crystal clear sound in CD
quality. DAB Broadcast a high-speed data stream in the radio channel. In difference to
conventional analog radio DAB transmitts multiple channels on the same transmitter.
This is called ensemble or multiplexes. An ensemble consists of the radio station as
well as several service components or data services, which are sent individually by the
radio stations. Learn e.g. under www.digitalradio.de or www.digitalradio.ch.

Data compression

Digital radio uses the of advantages of human hearing. The human ear does not
perceive sounds that are below a certain minimum level. Data which are under the
so-called threshold in quiet can be filtered out. This is possible because in a digital
data stream for each information unit, the corresponding relative volume is also saved
for other units. In addition in a sound signal, the quieter portions are overlapped by
the louder for a given threshold. All the sound information in a piece of music that are
below the so-called hearing threshold can be filtered out of the signal to be transmit-
ted. This leads to a reduction of the transmitted data stream, without any noticeable
difference in sound to the listener ( MUSICAM ) process.

Audio Stream

Audio streams are continuous data flows, MPEG 1 Audio Layer 2 frames contain and
thus represent acoustic information in digital radio. Thus, familiar radio programs can
be transferred and listen at the receiver side. For Digital radio the MUSICAM format
is used, which provides two MPEG compliant PADs. This is referred to as PAD data
services. Digital Radio brings you not only radio wit for additional data. The excellent
Digital radio does not only offer perfect sound quality but also additional information.
This may relate to the current program (eg title, artist) or might be independent (eg,
news, weather, traffic tips).

Automatic Search

As described in the initial installation the unit restarts automatically at the first start
to search for DAB programs. This automatic search can also be restarted manually
without having to revert to the factory setting.
