Press and hold an ensemble search button to 
display a list of all available ensembles. Rotate 
the menu control to scroll through the 
ensemble list and press it to select one and 
display a list of channels in that ensemble.

Scanning channels

You can use the scan function to listen to a 
short broadcast of each available channel in 
turn before selecting the one you prefer. 

Press and release the SCAN button to start the 
channel scan and play the first channel. After 
eight seconds, the scan moves to the next 
channel and so on. After the last channel in an 
ensemble, the first channel in the next 
ensemble is played. To stop the scan and play 
the current channel, press the SCAN button 
again or press the Exit button.

Note: Subchannels are not included in 
scanning.

Signal availability

If the digital radio signal is lost or the system 
takes time to tune in to a channel, then the 
display screen will show the message No 
reception.

The problem may be caused by a temporary 
problem, such as buildings or trees blocking 
the signal, or it might be a problem with the 
broadcast service operator. Try tuning to an 
alternative channel and return later to see if the 
problem has been resolved. If you are unable to 
tune to any other channels, switch off the audio 
unit and then try again.

PRESET BUTTONS

Storing channels as presets

2. Press and hold the preset button (for about 

two seconds) on which you want to store 
the current channel. Audio output is muted 
for a further two seconds while the channel 
is stored and a confirmation message is 
displayed.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each channel that 

you want to store as a preset.

Note: You cannot store a subchannel as a 
preset. If you try to store a subchannel, you will 
store the channel to which the subchannel 
belongs.

Recalling a preset channel

Make sure that you have selected the 
appropriate digital source (DAB1 or DAB2) and 
then press and release the preset button you 
require. The channel you have selected will 
start to play automatically.

Note: If you try to recall a channel that has 
previously been stored as a preset but is now 
unavailable or invalid, the message No channel 
found is displayed. You must choose another 
channel.

Scrolling through presets

Rotate the menu control to scroll through all 
available presets for the current digital source 
(DAB1 or DAB2). When you stop rotating, the 
selected channel will start to play automatically 
after a few seconds.

Note: If you are listening to a subchannel, then 
rotating the menu control will return you to, 
and then scroll through, the channel preset list.
