INTRODUCTION
Introduction
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) technology allows many
more radio stations compared to FM. DAB transmissions do
away with problems of hiss and fade that plague AM and
FM broadcasts and are less likely to be affected by adverse
weather conditions or other sources of interference. In
addition to speech and music DAB transmissions carry high
levels of data - far greater than the limited RDS information
available on FM stations.
Unlike FM, DAB is broadcast on many frequencies. Many
countries in Europe, including the UK use Band III (174-230
MHz); others, France for example, use the L-Band (14521492 MHz). Germany uses both bands.
Your radio can tune Band III. Countries in Europe that use
Band III include: Belgium, Denmark, Holland, Italy, Norway,
Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland. Your radio will tune
stations in all these countries.
Your radio cannot receive French or German stations
broadcasting in the L-Band though FM services are available
all over Europe.
Being digital, DAB transmissions can have a wider frequency
range and greater dynamics than that available with FM
technology.
FM reception is available on your system for use in those
locations where there is no usable DAB service.
A headphone output is provided for personal listening.

DAB & FM DISPLAY MODES
DAB DISPLAY MODES
When playing a DAB station you can change the information
on the display by changing the display mode.
To change the display mode:
Press the INFO button repeatedly to cycle through the
options listed in the chart below.

CHANNEL AND FREQUENCY: The Channel and Frequency
display shows the multiplex channel number and the
multiplex frequency for the station currently tuned.
BIT RATE: DAB allows broadcasters to vary the BIT RATE (or
the amount by which an audio signal can be compressed)
depending on the type of broadcast. This enables the amount
of stations on a multiplex to be maximised. Speech and News
are often broadcast at a lower Bit Rate; music needs a higher
Bit Rate for good fidelity.
SIGNAL ERROR RATE: This Signal Error Rate is a measure of
the signal quality. The lower the figure, the better the signal
quality. The Signal Error Rate display is helpful when setting
up the aerial wire. Move the wire to minimise the readiong
on your favourite stations.
FM DISPLAY MODES
Some FM stations broadcast additional ‘RDS’ station
information. When RDS data is present on an FM transmission,
‘RDS’ will be displayed as shown below.
Station name
RDS information
scrolling text etc.

DLS (SCROLLING TEXT): This is a scrolling message giving
real-time information - song titles, news headlines, etc.
PROGRAMME TYPE: This describes (when available) the style
of the programme being broadcast.
MULTIPLEX NAME (GROUP NAME): is the name of the DAB
Multiplex that is currently tuned.
TIME & DATE: Shows the current time and date. Time and
date are updated by broadcasted information.

and cannot be docked to your unit. The docking connector is
located on the base of the iPod as shown below.

Docking Connector
Before docking your iPod, you must fit the correct iPod
adaptor to the docking bay. Each iPod adaptor matches the
shape of a particular iPod and is necessary to ensure that
your iPod is securely held when docked.

FINDING THE CORRECT iPod ADAPTOR
Your iPod docking system is supplied with a selection of
docking adaptors that are compatible with several models
in the iPod range. Each adaptor is marked with compatible
model(s).
Refer to the table of iPod models in the next column which
lists the supplied adaptors, and instructions for obtaining an
adaptor for unlisted models.
NOTE: Do not dock an iPod without fitting the correct adaptor,
you may damage the iPod and your unit.
