9.1 Station list
You can call up the station list in DAB mode at any time. To
do so, proceed as follows:
Note
•
The station list contains all of the stations found
during the most recent station search. A new station
search can be started, as described in section 9.2.
The reception quality of a station depends on various
factors, including the weather conditions, the location
of the radio and the orientation of the antenna. If
a station in the station list cannot be received, try
changing the orientation of the antenna or moving
the radio to a different location.
•
If a station cannot be received, consult section 9.4 to
find out how to remove it from the station list.
•
Ensure that you are in DAB/DAB+ operating mode.
•
Press [ / ] (12) during playback to navigate through
the available stations in ascending alphabetical order
using the (7/9) navigation buttons.
•
Press [OK] to confirm your selection (8).
•
The station then begins to play automatically.
9.2 Search/automatic search
The automatic DAB channel search scans DAB band III for
available stations. After the station search, all interference-
free stations are saved in alphabetical order. In the station
list, a “?” is displayed in front of the station names of
stations found during a previous scan but which cannot
currently be received.
The automatic DAB station search starts automatically
when DAB mode is started for the first time; it is indicated
by “Search...” and a progress bar on the display.
•
Press and hold [
/
] (10) for approx. 3 seconds to
start a new station search.
•
Please wait until this search is completed.
•
The available stations are now displayed in the station
list.
9.3 Manual station search
The manual station search function lets you search through
individual frequencies and channels. If you know the
frequency of the desired station and the automatic station
search failed to find it, use this feature to set the reception
frequency directly.
Proceed as follows, choosing a frequency range between
5A and 13F:
•
Ensure that you are in DAB/DAB+ operating mode.
•
Press [ / ] (11) and navigate to the “Set manually”
menu item.

Confirm your selection by pressing [OK] (8).

Use the navigation buttons (left: - 0.05 MHz/right: +
0.05 MHz) to set the desired frequency. Wait a moment
until playback of the received station signal begins.

To remove stations that are not currently in the reception
area from your station list, proceed as follows:
•
Ensure that you are in DAB/DAB+ operating mode.
•
Press [ / ] (11) and navigate to the “Clear” menu
item.
•
Confirm your selection by pressing [OK] (8).
•
Choose “Yes” in the subsequent safety check and confirm
this choice by pressing [OK] (8).

Press [ / ] (12) or choose “No” in the safety check to
