Manual tuning
The unit can play MP3, a method of compressing audio without overly
hurting audio quality.
When creating MP3 files to play on this unit
Maximum number of tracks and albums: 999 tracks and 256 albums.
Compatible compression rate: Between 64 kbps and 320 kbps (stereo).
128 kbps (stereo) is recommended.
Disc formats: ISO9660 level 1 and level 2 (except for extended formats).
The time for reading TOC depends on the number of the tracks, the
folders or folder structures.
Limitations on MP3
This unit is compatible with multi-session but if there are a lot of sessions
it takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of sessions to a
minimum to avoid this.
This unit cannot play files recorded using packet write.
If the disc includes both MP3 and normal audio data (CD-DA), the unit
plays the type recorded in the inner part of the disc.
If the disc includes both MP3 and other types of audio data (e.g. WMA or
WAV), the unit plays only the MP3.
Depending on how you create MP3 files, they may not play in the order
you numbered them or may not play at all.

DAB
DAB stands for digital audio broadcasting. It is a new form of radio that
is broadcast digitally. Unlike regular analogue broadcasting, digital radio
deteriorates less, and is thus able to provide quality sound close to that of
a disc.
DAB structure
Bands
There are two types of DAB bands, “BAND
III
” (Receivable in this unit) and
“L BAND” (Not broadcast in the United Kingdom, and not receivable on this
unit).
Frequencies
There are 41 frequencies on BAND
III
. Among those frequencies, 7 are
used in the United Kingdom (current as of January, 2008).
Ensemble, station and service
The number of stations that make up one frequency differ between
DAB and analogue radio. Analogue stations all broadcast on different
frequencies, even if it is the same company doing the broadcasting. With
DAB however, it is possible to broadcast a number of stations on the same
frequency.
In DAB terminology, a group of stations on the same frequency is called an
ensemble.
As shown in the diagram, an ensemble consists of a group of stations which
have primary services, they can also have secondary services. This means,
for example, that commentary on sports events from different areas can all
be broadcast at once.
DAB reception method on this unit
Depending on the region there is a difference between broadcast frequency
and stations broadcast along the same frequency. For this reason, a
memory of receivable stations should first be created and then selected
from those memorized stations as the reception method.
DAB Auto Scan
This function searches for currently receivable stations and inputs them into
unit memory.
When DAB is selected for the first time, this function starts automatically.
Even if the station is stored into memory, some stations may not broadcast
depending on the time of day etc. If this occurs, “NO SERVICE” is
displayed.
Station Memory Updating
When there is a station name change, or a new station begins
broadcasting, the unit memory is automatically updated when:
The previous station name is displayed by selecting “STATION TUNE”.
One of the stations already broadcasting on the same frequency with the
new station is displayed by selecting “STATION TUNE”.
Deleting stations that are no longer broadcasting is not automatic. If you
want to delete a station, perform Auto scan again and the new memory
is created.
When a new frequency begins broadcasting, stations on the new
frequency are not automatically added to memory. Perform Auto scan
to add them to memory. Also, you may need to change the Auto scan
range if the new frequency is outside the factory set Auto scan range
(
➡
page 9).
STATION TUNE
You can select stations from the memory created as shown above in
alphanumeric order. You can easily select your favorite stations by using
presets (
➡
page 8).

Step 2
- Inserting batteries into the remote control
�
Batteries
• Insert so the poles (+ and –) match those in the remote control.
• Remove if the remote control is not going to be used for a long period of

• Do not use rechargeable type batteries.
• Mishandling of batteries in the remote control can cause electrolyte
leakage, which may cause a fi re.
Do not:
• mix old and new batteries;
• use different types of batteries at the same time;
• heat or expose to fl ame;
• take apart or short-circuit;
• attempt to recharge alkaline or manganese batteries;
• use batteries if their covering has been peeled off.
