Hints and tips

(>>/<<) DAB Secondary services

Secondary services accompany some stations, providing extra information or alternative content and may only be broadcast at certain times. At the time of writing not many secondary services are available. If a station has secondary services available, the station shows ‘>>’ next to its name in the station list and the secondary service appears next to the station in the list. A secondary service has a ‘<<’ before its name in the station list.

(?) Inactive or unavailable DAB stations

Inactive or unavailable stations are those which appear on the station list but are not currently available because either you are outside the broadcast area, have lost reception or the station is not currently broadcasting. Unavailable stations have a ‘?’ before their name on the station list. If you select a station which has this symbol, DMX-50 tries to tune to the station again and returns to the last station you were listening to if unsuccessful.

I hear a ‘burbling’ sound on some DAB stations

Although DAB is excellent at providing quality audio from very little signal, the quality can suffer if the signal strength is too low. If that happens, a ‘burbling’ sound can sometimes be heard. To help reduce this, check that your aerial is fully extended. If the problem persists try moving your unit or repositioning your aerial using manual tuning.

Screen says ‘No stations available’ in DAB mode

Check that your aerial is fully extended. Use Autotune to search for stations. Use manual tuning to adjust your aerial position.

Clock shows the wrong time

This may happen if the last/current DAB multiplex or FM RDS station you tuned to broadcasts an incorrect time signal, try tuning to another station/different multiplex (DAB).

Resetting your unit

Resetting your DMX-50 removes all presets, stored stations and favourite station settings and resets all options to defaults. To reset:

1.Press and hold the MENU button for three seconds. The screen shows ‘Do you want to reset?’.

2.Push the ‘Yes’ shortcut button or use the + Select button on the remote to confirm the reset or press no buttons to cancel the reset.

My speakers don’t sound good

Make sure that the red (positive) terminal on the speakers is connected to the red terminal on DMX-50 and black (negative) to black .

Ensure the connections are secure and bared ends of the cables are contacting the metal of the terminals.

Note that from new, the sound from your speakers should improve over the course of a few days as they are ‘run-in’.

My screen is too bright in standby

To set the brightness of your screen for when the unit is in standby press the MENU button, select Screen and choose Standby settings to alter the brightness or switch off the screen.

Alarm bell icon has a cross through it

This happens if you set an alarm but no DAB or FM RDS time has been acquired yet. Check that your aerial is extended, return to DAB/FM or standby and wait for a short period and the normal icon should appear indicating that the time has been acquired.

Screen says ‘Time not available’ or ‘Waiting for time...’

This happens if time has not been acquired yet from a DAB signal or FM (RDS) signal. Check that your aerial is extended, switch to DAB, FM (RDS station) or standby mode, wait for a short period and the time should appear.
