•Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the TIBO TI435 DAB
Tuner. We hope that your experience with the
Tuner will be enjoyable for many years to come.
With both DAB+ (Digital Audio Broadcasting plus)
and FM tuners on-board, the TIBO DAB 435 is
ideally equipped for listening to a wide range of
stations. Select DAB+ and you’ll be able to listen to
a vast range of digital radio stations, including the
popular BBC 6 Music, 4 Extra and 5 live. DAB+ also
lets you hear crisp, digital clarity of sound, free from
interference. For local stations or a more expansive
sound with national stations (roof mounted aerial
recommended) then FM is also on hand.
The TIBO TI435 DAB+ has 18 pre-sets that are
clearly accessible. (9 pre-sets for DAB mode and 9
for FM mode.) The large display is equally clear and
informative. To select stations, the simple twist and
push rotary knob makes it intuitive to use. The
simple, logical button layout makes for a design
that’s clean and easy on the eye. The Aluminium
casing is solid and fronted by a metal facial panel
that you’d usually only see on much more
expensive tuners.
