What is the DAB System?
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is one of the digital radio
broadcasting systems available today. It can deliver digital
quality sound without any annoying interference or signal
distortion. Furthermore, it can carry text, pictures and
data. In contrast to FM broadcast, where each program is
transmitted on its own frequency, DAB combines several
programs (called“services”) to form one “ensemble.”
“Primary services”(main radio stations) are sometimes
accompanied by “secondary services” to broadcast
additional programs.
Changing the DAB Information
Each time you press the button, the main
display changes as follows:
PTY: Program Type (See page 11.)
DLS: Dynamic Label Segment (text
messages the station sends)
* The preset number is displayed only when
the service has been selected using the
PRESET UP/DOWN keys.
NOTE
If no signals are sent,“NOSIGNAL” (instead of a service
label), “NO PTY” (instead of PTY) or “NO TEXT” (instead of
DLS) appears on the display.
CAUTION:
Electrostatic discharge from your body may cause noise
from the speakers and you cannot hear the broadcast.
If this happens, turn off the System (on standby), then
turn it on again.

– This System can show Tag data (Version 1).
– MP3/WMA discs require a longer readout time than
regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the
group/file configuration.)
– Some MP3/WMA files cannot be played back and will
be skipped. This results from their recording process
and conditions.
– The playback order of MP3/WMA tracks may be
different from what you had intended while recording.
If a folder does not include MP3/WMA tracks, they are
ignored.
•For USB mass storage class device playback...

Listening to the Radio (see pages 10 to 13)
• The time shown on the display is based on the built-
in clock of the System, not on the information sent
through DAB or Radio Data System.
•If you want to know more about Radio Data System, visit
<http://www.rds.org.uk>.
Listening to a Digital Audio Player (see page 14)
• When the sound signal from the Digital Audio Player
is too weak, QP Link may not function correctly. In this
case, turn up the volume of the Digital Audio Player so
that the System can detect the sound signal properly.
•Changing from LINE to another source while QP Link is
working will deactivate QP Link temporarily. In this case,
the following will reactivate QP Link:
– Pressing and holding QP LINK on the remote control.
– When no sound signal comes from the LINE IN jack for
about 30 seconds after the System has been turned
off.
•If you press the button to turn the System off or if
the preset Timer turns the System off while QP Link is
working, the System deactivates QP Link temporarily. In
such cases, the following will reactivate QP Link:
– When no sound signal comes from the LINE IN jack for
about 30 seconds after the System has been turned
off.
– When you turn on the power again.
•Before recording on a Digital Audio Player, deactivate QP
Link or disconnect the Digital Audio Player from the LINE
IN jack; otherwise, LINE will be selected as the source
and the recording will stop.
•Sound adjustments (see page 6) do not affect the sound
recorded on the Digital Audio Player.
Setting the Clock and the Daily Timer (see page 15)
• “0:00” flashes on the main display until you have set the
clock.
• The clock may gain or lose 1 to 2 minutes per month. If
this happens, readjust the clock.
• When you unplug the power cord or if a power failure
occurs, the clock and the timer will be canceled. You
need to set the clock first, then the timer again.
• If you set the Sleep Timer after the Daily Timer has
started playing the selected source, the Daily Timer is
canceled.
