Safety precautions

PlacementPlacement

Set the unit up on an even surface away from

direct sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity,

and excessive vibration. These conditions can

damage the cabinet and other components, thereby

shortening the unit’s service life.

Place it at least 15 cm away from wall surfaces to

avoid distortion and unwanted acoustical effects.

Do not place heavy items on the unit.

VoltageVoltage

Do not use high voltage power sources. This can

overload the unit and cause a ﬁ re.

Do not use a DC power source. Check the source

carefully when setting the unit up on a ship or other

place where DC is used.

AC mains lead protectionAC mains lead protection

Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly

and not damaged. Poor connection and lead damage

can cause ﬁ re or electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or

place heavy items on the lead.

Grasp the plug ﬁ rmly when unplugging the lead.

Pulling the AC mains lead can cause electric shock.

Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can

cause electric shock.

Foreign matterForeign matter

cause electric shock or malfunction.

Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause

electric shock or malfunction. If this occurs,

immediately disconnect the unit from the power

supply and contact your dealer.

Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They

contain ﬂ ammable gases which can ignite if sprayed

into the unit.

Placement of speakers

Speakers are designed identically so that no left or

right channel orientation is necessary.

Use only the supplied speakers.

The combination of the main unit and speakers provide

the best sound. Using other speakers can damage the

unit and sound quality will be negatively affected.

Note:

• Keep your speakers at least 10mm away from the

system for proper ventilation.

• These speakers do not have magnetic shielding.

Do not place them near televisions, personal

computers or other devices easily inﬂ uenced by

magnetism.

• You can damage your speakers and shorten their

useful life if you play sound at high levels over

extended periods.

• Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid

damage.

– When playing distorted sound.

– When adjusting the sound quality.

• You cannot take the front net off the speakers.

Caution

• Use the speakers only with the recommended

system. Failure to do so can damage the

ampliﬁ er and speakers, and can cause ﬁ re.

Consult a qualiﬁ ed service person if damage

occurs or if a sudden change in performance

is apparent.

• Do not attach these speakers to walls or

ceilings.

Preparing the remote control

LR6/R6, AA

(not included)

avoiding obstacles, at a maximum range of 7 m

directly in front of the unit.

Note on using the remote control

• Do not mix old and new batteries.

• Do not use different types of batteries at the same

time.

• Do not take apart or short circuit the batteries.

• Do not attempt to recharge alkaline or manganese

batteries.

• Do not use batteries if the covering has been

peeled off.

• Do not heat or expose to ﬂ ame.

• Do not leave the battery(ies) in an automobile

exposed to direct sunlight for a long period of time

with doors and windows closed.

• Mishandling of batteries in the remote control can

cause electrolyte leakage, which may cause a ﬁ re.

• Remove the batteries if the remote control is not

going to be used for a long period of time. Store in

a cool, dark place.

CAUTION

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly

replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent

type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose

of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s

instructions.

DAB

DAB stands for digital audio broadcasting. It 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 close

to that of a disc.

DAB structureDAB 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 41 frequencies on BAND III. Among

those frequencies, 7 are used in the United Kingdom

(current as of January, 2009).

Ensemble, station and service

The number of stations that make up one frequency

differ between DAB and analogue radio. Analogue

stations all 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, a group of stations on the same

frequency is called an ensemble.

As shown in the diagram, an ensemble consists of a

group of stations which have primary services, they

can also have secondary services. This means, for

example, that commentary on sports events from

different areas can all be broadcast at once.

DAB reception method on this unitDAB 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 ﬁ rst be created

and then select from those memorised stations as

the reception method.

DAB Auto Scan

This function searches for currently receivable

stations and inputs them into unit memory.

When DAB is selected for the ﬁ rst time, this function

starts automatically.

Note:

Even if the station is stored into memory, some

stations may not broadcast depending on the time of

day etc. 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 displayed by selecting

“STATION TUNE”.

• One of the stations already broadcasting on the

same frequency with the new station is displayed

by selecting “STATION TUNE”.

Note:

• Deleting stations that are no longer broadcasting

is not automatic. If you want to delete a station,

perform Auto scan again and the new memory is

created.

• When a new frequency begins broadcasting,

stations on that new frequency are not automatically

added to memory. Perform Auto scan to add them

to memory. Also, you may need to change the Auto

scan range if the new frequency is outside the

factory set Auto scan range (

➡ page 14).

STATION TUNE

You can select stations from the memory created as

shown above in alphanumeric order. You can easily

select your favourite stations by using presets

(➡ page 13).
