DAB tuning

When the unit is turned on for the first time, all settings will be default settings. The settings can be 
changed according to your preference. When the unit is turned off the next time, these settings will 
naturally be saved as the new default settings. This also applies if you unplug the unit.

When the unit has been turned on, channels 
must be saved. This is done by means of the 
autotune function.
To use the autotune function through the front 
panel controls, press the AUTOTUNE button 
for two seconds. An international search will 
be initiated.
You can also press the AUTOTUNE button on 
the remote control for two seconds.

Note:
If the button is only pressed once, the unit will 
once again search for the channels already 
found.

The message SEARCHING will be shown at the 
bottom of the display, and you will see a bar at the 
top of the display that grows longer indicating how 
far the tuning process has come. As it finds 
channels, you will see a figure at the top line to 
the right of the display that shows how many 
channels have been found.

If no channels are found, you must check if the 
antenna has been correctly connected. You can 
do this by tuning in on a channel through manual 
tuning on the FM band, and then press the INFO 
button to display the signal bar and check the 
signal strength (see the section on FM tuning)

If you want to save a channel under one of the 
four presets, you must press down the button with 
the number concerned for two seconds. When the 
channel has been saved and you wish to listen to 
that channel, press the button with the number 
that you have saved the channel under. The
procedure is the same for both FM and DAB.

Channels that have not been saved can be 
selected either by means of the SCROLL buttons 
on the remote control or the CONTROL/TUNING 
button on the front panel. Note that if the channel 
is selected by means of the CONTROL/TUNING 
button, you must confirm your choice by pressing 
the adjusting button. This function can be 
deactivated by pressing the button for two 
seconds.
