Troubleshooting guide
Before requesting service, make the following checks. If you are in doubt about any of the check points, or if the solutions indicated in the chart do not solve the
problem, consult your dealer for instructions.
Display
The reception is poor.
There is too much
noise and distortion.
• Try changing the length and angle of the rod
antenna.
• Inside some buildings and on some means of
transport, the signals may be weak, making it
hard to hear the stations. In such cases, use
the unit as close to the windows as possible.
• If this unit is used close to another radio, TV,
VCR or other electrical appliance, noise may
be heard from the resulting mutual interference.
Try turning off the power of the radio, TV or
VCR, etc. in the vicinity.
• This unit may not operate properly after it has
been moved from a cold location to a warm
place. This happens because condensation
has formed on the unit’s operating parts: The
unit will return to normal in about 60 minutes.
• Noise may be caused if a mobile telephone is
brought close to the unit. Use the unit at a
distance from mobile telephones.
Use the numbers indicated in parentheses when asking for
replacement parts. “As of January 2007”
The illustrations show RF-D7.

What is DAB?
DAB stands for digital audio broadcasting. It is a new form of radio that is
broadcast digitally. Digital audio provides a superior quality of sound
compared to regular analogue broadcasting.
DAB structure
Band
There are two types of DAB bands, “BAND III” (Receivable on this unit)
and “L BAND” (Not receivable on this unit).
Frequencies
There are 41 frequencies on BAND III. Among those frequencies, 7 are
used in the UK (current as of January, 2007).
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.
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 memorized stations.
DAB Auto Scan
This function searches for currently receivable stations and inputs them
into unit memory.
When DAB is selected for the first time, this function starts automatically.
Station Memory Updating
• When there is a station name change
Station names are updated automatically when a station name that was
stored in memory before the update was selected. However preset
registered station names are not changed, therefore you need to perform
presetting again.
• When a new station begins broadcasting
When a new station name is found on the frequency currently being
broadcast, it is automatically added to the list of station names created
with Auto scan.
As shown in the above 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.

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.
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 7).
Note
Manual tuning
DAB stations can be tuned manually by
selecting the station name in alphanumeric
order.
1. Enter DAB mode.
2. Select the station.
“Scan Failed.” appears if no stations are memorized. If this
occurs, adjust the antenna or relocate the unit, then try Auto
scanning. ( page 4 and below)
Note
Adjust the volume
The unit comes on.
If you are selecting DAB for
the first time, stations that
are currently receivable are
memorized.
When a frequency is tuned

frequency is displayed.
