The FM radio menu
The FM radio menu contains the following items only related to the
FM radio mode:
●
[Scan setting]:
Select this option to configure if the radio should
only look for strong signals or all signals when pressing and
holding TUNING UP / DOWN. Select
[Local]
to only search for
strong signals or
[Distant]
to search for all signals.
●
[Audio setting]:
Select this option to configure if the radio should
only play FM stations in mono. Select
[Stereo]
to play in stereo
(when available) or select
[Mono only]
to force mono. Forcing
the radio to play FM broadcasts in mono can help reduce noise
when listening to FM broadcasts.

information ("RDS" is shown on the display), repeatedly press the
INFO / MENU button to cycle through the following information on
the radio's display:
●
Text message

the text message and program type. It will display the reception
type and today's date and time, however.
6. Listening to Bluetooth audio
In order to stream Bluetooth music to your radio, you need to pair
your Bluetooth device with the DDR-53BT. Pairing creates a ‘bond’
so two devices can recognize each other.
Pairing your Bluetooth device for the first time
1.
Turn on the radio using the POWER button.
2.
Select the Bluetooth mode by repeatedly pressing the SOURCE
button. The Bluetooth indicator will now blink, to indicate the
radio is discoverable.
3.
Activate Bluetooth on your Bluetooth device (refer to the manual
of the Bluetooth device if you are unsure about how to active
Bluetooth).
4.
Go to the Bluetooth list on your Bluetooth device and select the
device named "DDR-53BT".
NOTE
: On some Bluetooth devices with Bluetooth version
2.1 or earlier, you might be requested to enter a passcode. If
this is the case, enter the passcode "0000".
5.
After the devices have paired and connected, a confirmation tone will
be played on the radio, the radio's Bluetooth indicator will continuously
light up blue and the radio's display will show the name, artist and the
album of the current song and the name of the connected Bluetooth
device. You can now play music on your Bluetooth device and stream
the music through the radio's speakers.
NOTES:
●
If 2 Bluetooth devices are pairing for the first time, both
must search for your radio, it will show its availability on
both devices. However, if one device links with this unit first,
then the other Bluetooth device won’t find it on the list.
●
If you take your Bluetooth device out of range, the
connection between your device and the radio will be
temporarily disconnected. Your radio will automatically
reconnect if the Bluetooth device is brought back into range.
Be aware that during the period of disconnection, no other
Bluetooth device can pair or link with your radio.
●
If "DDR-53BT" shows up in your Bluetooth device list, but
your Bluetooth device cannot connect with it, please delete
the item from your list and pair the Bluetooth device with the
radio again following the steps described previously.
●
The effective operation range between the radio and the
paired Bluetooth device is approximately 10 meters (30 feet).
Any obstacle between the system and the device can reduce
the operational range.
●
Bluetooth connectivity performance may vary depending
on the connected Bluetooth device. Please refer to the
Bluetooth capabilities of your device before connecting it to
your radio. Not all features may be supported, depending on
the Bluetooth device used.
●
With some mobile phones, making / receiving calls, text
messages, e-mails or any other activities unrelated to audio
streaming may mute the Bluetooth audio streaming or even
temporarily disconnect from your device. Such behavior is
a function of the Bluetooth device and does not indicate a
problem with your DDR-53BT.
Audio playback in the Bluetooth mode
After you have successfully connected your radio with the chosen
Bluetooth device, you can start to play your music using the controls
on the radio or your connected Bluetooth device.
1.
Once playback has started, the radio will show the title of the
song, the artist, the album and the connected device at the
bottom of the radio's display.
2.
The volume can be adjusted both on the radio using the
/ - button and on the Bluetooth device using the
volume control of the device.
3.
Playback can be controlled both on the radio and on the
Bluetooth device as well. Press the PLAY / PAUSE button to start
playing audio or to pause / resume playback. Press the TUNING
UP / DOWN button to go to the previous or next track and hold
the TUNING UP / DOWN button to fast forward or fast rewind
within a track.
NOTE:
Not all player applications or devices may respond to all of these
controls.
Audio playback from a previously-paired Bluetooth
device
The DDR-53BT can memorize up to 6 sets of paired Bluetooth
devices, when the memory exceed this amount, the earliest device
with which the radio was paired will be overwritten in the radio's
memory.
If your Bluetooth device has previously paired with the DDR-53BT
previously, the radio will still remember your Bluetooth device and
attempt to reconnect with the device that was last connected. If the
last connected Bluetooth device is not available, the radio will try to
connect to the second last Bluetooth device.
Showing Bluetooth information on the display
When listening to Bluetooth audio, repeatedly press the INFO /
MENU button to cycle through the following information on the
radio's display:
●
Title, Artist, Album, Connected device

Disconnecting your Bluetooth device
To disconnect your Bluetooth device, either turn off Bluetooth on
the Bluetooth device, press and hold the EQ / BLUETOOTH PAIR
button on the radio or switch to another mode on the radio by
pressing either the SOURCE or MEDIA button. If you disconnect
the Bluetooth device while the radio is in the Bluetooth mode, the
Bluetooth indicator will start blinking again to indicate that the radio
is available for pairing again.
7. Listening to audio from CD
The DDR-53BT is capable of playing CDs, CD-Rs and CD-RWs
and can play both normal audio CDs and CDs with MP3 and WMA
files (with the exception of files encoded using WMA lossless, WMA
Voice, WMA 10 professional and files with DRM protection).
