When creating MP3 files to play on this unit Maximum number of tracks and albums: 999 tracks and 256 albums. Compatible compression rate: Between 64 kbps and 320 kbps (stereo). 128 kbps (stereo) is recommended. Disc formats: ISO9660 level 1 and level 2 (except for extended formats). The time for reading TOC depends on the number of the tracks, the folders or folder structures. Limitations on MP3 This unit is compatible with multi-session but if there are a lot of sessions it takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of sessions to a minimum to avoid this. This unit cannot play files recorded using packet write. If the disc includes both MP3 and normal audio data (CD-DA), the unit plays the type recorded in the inner part of the disc. If the disc includes both MP3 and other types of audio data (e.g. WMA or WAV), the unit plays only the MP3. Depending on how you create MP3 files, they may not play in the order you numbered them or may not play at all. • • • • • • • • Note on CD-R and CD-RW This unit can play CD-R and CD-RW recorded with CD-DA or MP3. Use an audio recording disc for CD-DA and finalize* it when you finish recording. The unit may not be able to play some discs due to the condition of the recording. * A process performed after recording that enables CD-R/CD-RW players to play audio CD-R and CD-RW.

is broadcast digitally. Unlike regular analogue broadcasting, digital radio deteriorates less, and is thus able to provide quality sound close to that of a disc. DAB structure Bands There are two types of DAB bands, “BAND III” (Receivable in this unit) and “L BAND” (Not broadcast in the United Kingdom, and not receivable on this unit). Frequencies There are 41 frequencies on BAND III. Among those frequencies, 7 are used in the United Kingdom (current as of January, 2008). Ensemble, station and service The number of stations that make up one frequency differ between DAB and analogue radio. Analogue stations all broadcast on different frequencies, even if it is the same company doing the broadcasting. With DAB however, it is possible to broadcast a number of stations on the same frequency. In DAB terminology, a group of stations on the same frequency is called an ensemble. As shown in the diagram, an ensemble consists of a group of stations which have primary services, they can also have secondary services. This means, for example, that commentary on sports events from different areas can all be broadcast at once. DAB reception method on this unit Depending on the region there is a difference between broadcast frequency and stations broadcast along the same frequency. For this reason, a memory of receivable stations should first be created and then selected from those memorized stations as the reception method. DAB Auto Scan This function searches for currently receivable stations and inputs them into unit memory. When DAB is selected for the first time, this function starts automatically. Even if the station is stored into memory, some stations may not broadcast depending on the time of day etc. If this occurs, “NO SERVICE” is displayed. Station Memory Updating When there is a station name change, or a new station begins broadcasting, the unit memory is automatically updated when: The previous station name is displayed by selecting “STATION TUNE”. One of the stations already broadcasting on the same frequency with the new station is displayed by selecting “STATION TUNE”. Deleting stations that are no longer broadcasting is not automatic. If you want to delete a station, perform Auto scan again and the new memory is created. When a new frequency begins broadcasting, stations on the new frequency are not automatically added to memory. Perform Auto scan to add them to memory. Also, you may need to change the Auto scan range if the new frequency is outside the factory set Auto scan range (➡ page 9). STATION TUNE You can select stations from the memory created as shown above in alphanumeric order. You can easily select your favorite stations by using presets (➡ page 8). • • • • DAB outdoor antenna or antenna DAB outdoor antenna AM loop antenna (included) AM outdoor antenna (not included) Be sure to fully tighten the screw.
