DT91
Searching for radio stations: DAB
When using the DAB tuner section for the first time, you should perform a search to find the available services in your area. You may also wish to repeat the search periodically to discover if any new ensembles (i.e. groups of services) have gone on air, or if you move the tuner to a different area.
To perform a search
Ensure that the DT91 is in DAB mode (by pressing the DAB/FM button until ‘DAB’ is shown on the display), then press SEARCH or MENU; the display shows ‘DAB Setup: Press SELECT to scan’. Press SELECT to start searching for new stations. The current search frequency is shown on the display as the search progresses.
A complete search may take three minutes or so to complete. You cannot cancel a search once started.
If no service is found after the search, then either your aerial is inadequate or you may be outside of the area covered by DAB broadcasts. Please contact your Arcam dealer for further information or advice.
Selecting a service
Turn the rotary controller (or press 4 or 3 on the remote control) to work through the available stations and to choose the one you wish to listen to. The service displayed will be selected automatically after a delay of about two seconds.
Deleting services
Under normal circumstances, you should not need to delete services from the DT91. If you move to a different region, however, or if a station ceases transmission, stations may be shown as available that can no longer be received.
Individual stations cannot be deleted. To remove stations from the selection list that can no longer be received, first press the MENU button; the display shows ‘DAB Setup: Press SELECT to scan’. Turn the control knob until the display shows ‘DAB Setup: Press SELECT to erase’, then press SELECT. All services are deleted.
A delete operation should always be followed by a search for available stations (as described previously) otherwise no DAB radio stations will be available for selection.
