What is DAB digital radio?
DAB radio is a totally new way of transmission. It uses digital signals
rather than the analogue signals that FM and MW wavebands transmit on.
This enables near digital quality audio and enables more stations to be
broadcast using a narrow waveband. DAB can also transmit additional
data with the audio channels.
The stations broadcast on a single frequency network, called an ensemble
or multiplex. These can contain many different stations and are on 1
frequency. Each multiplex is transmitted on a set frequency range and are
broadcast in the frequency band III (174 – 240MHz), which is sub-divided
into 41 blocks labelled 5A to 13F. Each can contain 1 multiplex.
Secondary services and additional data are available in each multiplex.
The number of multiplexes that you will receive will vary upon the
geographical location.
So instead of knowing the frequency, you just need to select the station
name, making it much easier to tune to your favourite station.

station broadcasting popular music may have a high level of compression
applied since the emphasis is on a constant high listening level, whereas a
station broadcasting classical music will have little or no compression as
the listener requires all of the highs and lows in the music to define the
detail. There are three levels of compression:

• DRC 1: Maximum compression applied (this is the default).
• DRC 1/2: Medium compression applied.

and the hole.
• Do not affix label or adhesive tape to the label surfaces. Also, do not
scratch or damage the label.
• Discs rotate at high speeds inside the player. Do not use damaged
(cracked or warped) discs.
Cleaning compact discs
•Dirty discs can cause poor sound quality. Always keep discs clean by
wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the
outer perimeter.
• If a disc becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring it out well, wipe
the dirt away gently, and then remove any water drops with a dry cloth.
• Do not use record cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on discs. Also,
never clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents which
may cause damage to the disc surface.

CD lens care
• When your CD lens gets dirty it can also cause the unit to output poor
sound quality. To clean the lens you will need to purchase a CD lens
cleaner which can maintain the output sound quality. For instructions
on cleaning the CD lens, refer to the ones accompanying the lens care.
Cleaning the exterior
• Prior to cleaning the exterior, be sure to unplug the power cord from
the AC power outlet. Wipe the exterior with a soft, clean, and slightly
water-dampened cloth.
Precautions
• Never open the cabinet under any circumstances. Any repairs or
internal adjustments should be made only by a trained technician.
• Warning: Never operate this product with the cabinet removed.
• The CD player of this unit uses a laser to read the music on the disc.
The laser mechanism corresponds to the cartridge and stylus of a
record player. Although this product incorporates a laser pick-up lens,
it is completely safe when operated according to directions.
• Discs rotate at high speed inside the player. Do not use damaged,
warped or cracked discs.
Do not touch the pick-up lens which is located inside the disc
compartment. Also, to keep dust from collecting on the pick-up lens, do
not leave the compartment door open for an extended period of time.
