Selecting a station

Once you have tuned your DRX-701ES you can use the large turn-and-push tuning knob to select digital radio stations.

1.The top line of the display shows the name of the currently selected station. Rotate the tuning knob to scroll through the names of other stored stations on the bottom line of the display. Stop when you find the station you want.

2.Push and release the tuning knob to listen to the station you have selected. The display may show ‘Now tuning...’ briefly as it finds the new station.

If the station you select is in stereo, the Stereo LED will light up.

If a station has one or more secondary services available the display will show ‘>>’ next to the station name while you are scrolling the station list and they will appear after the primary service as you turn the tuning knob. The Secondary LED will light up when you select the station.

A secondary service will display ‘<<‘ before the station name while you are scrolling the station list indicating that it belongs to the primary service before it in the list. The Secondary LED will light up when you select the station. See page 9 for information on primary and secondary services.

If the station has ‘?’ before its name the station is currently inactive or invalid. If you select a station which has this symbol the DRX-701ES tries to tune to that station. If still unavailable ‘Station not available’ or ‘Station off-air’ will be displayed and your DRX-701ES will attempt to tune to an alternative station. A flashing cursor will indicate that this is underway. If you want to try to manually tune to this station you have five seconds after the above messages in which to push the tuning knob and see the tuning aid, see Tuning aid, page 7.
