1) Service Tuning and Searching
DAB signals transmitted through radio frequency are called "ensembles"
which consists of several "services" or radio stations. Some services
may be available at certain times only. Please consult the programme
guides from the broadcasters for more details.
The DR301 has two DAB tuning modes: Manual Tune and Preset Tune.
In manual tune mode, you can manually find frequency channels with
DAB signals and you can select any services which are transmitted. You
can add any of your favourite services to a list (called the preset list)
which allows rapid tuning in Preset mode (see below). In areas with many
DAB services this lets you make your own personal list of favourite chan-
nels from the many services which are available. If you are moving from
one region to another you can manually look for new services without
changing your preset list.
The preset list can hold a maximum of 100 entries.
In Preset tune mode the DR301 can tune quickly between the services in
the preset list.
This may be all the services in your area, or the ones you have manually
selected as your favourites. You can add and remove services from the
list.

NOTE
Check that the REGION setting for the set is correct for your area.
Otherwise some of the bands may not be scanned correctly, and ser-
vices may be missed, or the scan may take longer than necessary.
See MENU SETTING section for details.
Press MENU and move to "SER (Search)" using navigation key. Locate cur-
sor to "Full Scan" and press SELECT.
The DR301 begins scanning the entire frequency band and stores every
service of the ensembles found.
The scan can take several minutes to complete. Do not press any buttons
during this process.
When the scan completes, the DR301 creates a preset table and is tuned to
the first service of the first scanned ensemble. The DR301 is now set to
Preset mode.
2) Full Scan
The DR301 can scan the complete DAB
bands and make a preset list of all services
or radio stations in your locality. To do this,
place the set in a good reception location,
(near a window for example), and fully
extend the headphone lead and the L-Band
antenna (if applicable).
