INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on purchasing this Digital Radio Tuner from
Cambridge Audio.  It is the result of an extensive Research and
Development program undertaken to identify the circuitry and
components fundamental to our highly regarded and critically
acclaimed products.

This new DAB radio is an advanced digital product capable of receiving
and decoding the abundance of digital radio broadcasts available.

This unit takes advantage of the very latest, third-generation DAB
chipset: the highly integrated Frontier Silicon FS2020 module, which
embraces the FS1010 single-chip DAB/Audio processor. The unit is
based on the META processor design and Ensigma DAB IP licensed
from Imagination Technologies. 

This is coupled to a high performance 24-bit/96kHz digital to analogue
converter, with built-in 4x up-sampling, from respected manufacturer
Wolfson Microelectronics.

Our aim in realising the DAB300 was to bring into the home digital
radio's beautifully clear reception, remarkable ease-of-use and superior
text information. 

Interconnects are something that shouldn't be overlooked. Please do
not compromise your system's performance by using poor quality
cables. A system is only as strong as it's weakest link. Your dealer can
supply quality Cambridge Audio cables, either digital or analogue, that
will ensure the DAB300 performs to it's full potential

Please do read and retain this guide as it contains important safety and
operational information.

Now we invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy!
