OPERATION
LISTENING TO DAB RADIO
Until now, analogue radio signals such as FM or AM have been subject to
numerous kinds of interference on their way from the transmitter to your
radio. These problems were caused by mountains, high-rise buildings
and weather conditions. With Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB), you can now
receive CD-like quality radio programs without any annoying interference
and signal distortion. DAB broadcasts use digital signals rather than
traditional analogue transmissions, thus providing clear high quality
reception. You get far more robust reception and virtually hiss or crackle
free sound with DAB as long as you are within a good coverage area.
With DAB, the listener can scroll through a list of available stations - then
instantly tune to the station of his choice. There is no need either to
remember channel frequencies. All broadcasts are selected by simply
selecting the service name.
The VISO THREE makes it possible for you to enjoy listening to DAB
broadcasts. The VISO THREE has a Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) module
socket on the rear panel for adding a separately sold and NAD-specified
outboard DAB module – the NAD DAB Adaptor DB 1 or the DAB+ NAD DAB
Adaptor DB 2. All the control software for this format is included; just plug-
in the module and start enjoying the CD-like quality sound and expansive
content selection available with DAB.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Unless otherwise specifically stated, navigating or accessing DAB
functions can be undertaken by using either the VR 3 remote control
or the front panel buttons. If the control button or icon button being
referred to is available on the VR 3 remote control and front panel, then
the reference to said button is applicable to both the VR 3 remote control
and front panel.
NOTES
• When using the VR 3 remote control to carry out DAB commands, ensure
that the DEVICE SELECTOR is set to “TUN”.
• At DAB mode and with DEVICE SELECTOR set to “TUN”, VR 3’s [TUNER
MODE] button has the same function as that of front panel’s [MENU]
button.
• In the DAB discussions below, all control buttons mentioned are with
reference to the VR 3 remote control.
CONNECTING THE DAB MODULE
Plug-in the other end of the DIN connector (supplied with your NAD DAB
Adaptor) from the DAB module’s output port into the corresponding DAB
module input socket on the rear panel of the VISO THREE. Select DAB mode
on the VISO THREE by toggling the [AM/FM/DB] button in the VR 3 remote
control.
NOTES
• The NAD DAB Adaptor (DB 1 or DB 2) is not supplied with your VISO
THREE.
• Refer to the installation diagram printed on the carton box of the NAD
DAB Adaptor for guidance on how to connect the NAD DAB Adaptor to
the VISO THREE.
• If there is no NAD DAB Adaptor connected, the VFD will show “Check
DAB Tuner”.
DAB OPERATION
With the separately sold NAD DAB Adaptor already connected to the VISO
THREE, you can now carry out the VISO THREE to receive DAB broadcasts.

Toggle [AM/FM/DB] button until DAB mode. When DAB mode is
selected, VFD will show “DAB Initialize Please wait” and then go to
“Full Scan” mode. “Full Scan” will take at least 20 seconds or more to
complete. FULL SCAN will enable the scanning of the full range of
digital frequencies (Band III and L-Band). This sequence cannot be
interrupted.

The arrows show the progress of the sequence. When scanning is
completed, the last number shown on the upper right side of the VFD
corresponds to the total number of DAB broadcast stations found. Then,
the first station is tuned in (See “ALPHANUMERIC” description below to
understand the order or arrangement of stations).

The strength of the incoming signal can be shown on the VFD by
pressing the [ENTER] button. The more “o” segments visible in the lower
display line, the stronger the signal. By changing the position of the
antenna, you can increase the signal strength. Consult an antenna
professional for more information.

“No Service List” will be shown in the VFD when no DAB stations are
found after the scanning process. If this occurs, check the connection
and position of the DAB antenna or call your local DAB broadcast
providers for coverage information.
