Introduction
UNPACKING
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) technology allows many
more radio stations compared to FM. DAB transmissions do
away with problems of hiss and fade that plague AM and
FM broadcasts and are less likely to be affected by adverse
weather conditions or other sources of interference. In
addition to speech and music DAB transmissions carry high
levels of data - far greater than the limited RDS information
available on FM stations.
Unlike FM, DAB is broadcast on many frequencies. Many
countries in Europe, including the UK use Band III (174-230
MHz); others, France for example, use the L-Band (1452-
1492 MHz). Germany uses both bands.
Your radio can tune Band III. Countries in Europe that use
Band III include: Belgium, Denmark, Holland, Italy, Norway,
Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland. Your radio will tune
stations in all these countries.
Your radio cannot receive French or German stations
broadcasting in the L-Band though FM services are available
all over Europe.
Carefully unpack the unit. If it is damaged, please return it to
your nearest Tesco store for replacement. Remember to take
your purchase receipt with you.
Retain the User Handbook. If you pass the unit on to a third
party make sure you pass on the handbook.

Operating Manual
If any items are missing or damaged, contact your nearest
TESCO store for a replacement. Have your receipt ready when
you call. Retain the packaging. If you dispose of it, do so

Being digital, DAB transmissions can have a wider frequency
range and greater dynamics than that available with FM
technology.
FM reception is available on your system for use in those
locations where there is no usable DAB service.
A headphone output is provided for personal listening.

DAB & FM DISPLAY MODES
DAB DISPLAY MODES
CHANNEL AND FREQUENCY: The Channel and Frequency
display shows the multiplex channel number and the
multiplex frequency for the station currently tuned.
BIT RATE: DAB allows broadcasters to vary the BIT RATE (or
the amount by which an audio signal can be compressed)
depending on the type of broadcast. This enables the amount
of stations on a multiplex to be maximised. Speech and News
are often broadcast at a lower Bit Rate; music needs a higher
Bit Rate for good fidelity.
When playing an FM station you can change the information
on the display by changing the display mode.
To change the display mode:
Press the INFO button repeatedly to cycle through the
options listed in the chart below.
When playing a DAB station you can change the information

SIGNAL ERROR RATE: This Signal Error Rate is a measure of
the signal quality. The lower the figure, the better the signal
quality. The Signal Error Rate display is helpful when setting
up the aerial wire. Move the wire to minimise the readiong
on your favourite stations.
FM DISPLAY MODES
RDS (SCROLLING TEXT): This is a scrolling message giving
real-time information - song titles, news headlines, etc.

DAB SCANNING
DAB ADVANCED OPERATION
When first used, your audio system scanned the DAB band
for available stations. The station services found were then
stored in your system’s memory.
You can re-scan the band at any time if you move to a different
area or just to refresh the stored list of available stations.
Two types of scan are available, a Quick Scan that scans UK
DAB bands for available services and a Full Scan, that scans
all bands.
The DAB radio of your audio system includes several advanced
features.
