The C 446’s internal AM/FM tuner oers very high quality sound from
radio broadcasts. You can listen to AM and FM stations either in their
native analog format or as a decoded SPDIF digital output. The reception
and sound quality will always be dependent to the type of antenna(s)
used as well as proximity to the broadcast origin, geography and weather
conditions.
ABOUT ANTENNAS
Connect the supplied wire“dipole”FM antenna to the FM antenna terminal
using the supplied“balun”adapter. It will usually work best when mounted
on a vertical surface such as a wall, with arms fully outstretched forming a
horizontal“T” perpendicular to the origin point of the signal.
In areas of poor FM reception, an exterior FM antenna can improve
performance dramatically. If radio listening is important to you, consider
consulting an antenna installation professional to optimize your system.
The supplied AM“loop”antenna will usually provide adequate reception.
However, an exterior AM antenna can be used to improve reception.
Consult an antenna professional for more information.
NOTE
 Unlessexplicitlyspecied,allcontrolbuttonsmentionedbelowarewith

second line of the VFD). Select “Tune” mode.
2 Using the numeric keys of the remote control, key-in the frequency
allocation of the station. For example, to enter 104.50MHz, press “1”, “0”,
“4”, “5”and “0”.
STORING PRESETS (AM/FM/DAB)
The C 446 can store a mix of your 40 favorite AM, FM and DAB radio stations
for immediate recall.
1 To store a desired AM/FM station to a preset, rst tune to the desired
frequency (see above), then press TNR 2’s [MEM] button. The VFD will
show the next available Preset number – for example, “Preset 04 Free”.
If there is no more vacant Preset number, you can overwrite an existing
Preset number by pressing the [D/F] buttons to select the Preset
number you want to overwrite.
2 Press the [MEM] button again to store the desired frequency on the

ABOUT RDS
The Radio Data System (RDS) permits sending small amounts of digital
information using conventional FM radio broadcasts. The C 446 supports
two RDS modes, program-service name (PS mode) and radio-text (RT
mode). Not every FM station incorporates RDS in its broadcast signal. In
most areas you will nd from one to several RDS-enabled stations, but it is
by no means impossible that your favorite stations will not be broadcasting
RDS data.
When an RDS-enabled FM broadcast is tuned, the VFD will show its
program-service name (PS) text and the station’s radio-text (RT) readout,
if any, which might scroll song- or artist-name, or any other text of the
station’s choosing.

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 C 446 makes it possible for you to enjoy listening to DAB+ broadcasts.
Connect the other end of the supplied DAB antenna into the DAB antenna
terminal and start enjoying the CD-like quality sound and expansive
content selection available with DAB.
