Operation

BASIC OPERATION

The C445 Tuner is simple to operate, and very similar to NAD Tuners you may have used in the past. This section will explain the use of several features that may be new to you.

Install the two supplied AAA batteries in the remote control as shown. Be certain to observe the (+) and (-) polarity indicators shown in the bottom of the battery compartment.

When using the C445 Tuner for the first time, it will be placed in a standby mode, as indicated by the amber colour of the Power Indicator. Once the unit is in standby, you may begin a listening session by pressing the System Power Control on the front panel or the Power On button on the remote control. Note that the Power Indicator will turn green. To turn the unit off at the end of a listening session simply press the System Power Control on the front panel or the Standby button on the remote. This places the unit in the Standby mode, and the Power Indicator will turn amber to remind you that the unit is ready for operation when a power command is received from the remote control.

When you will be away from home for an extended period of time it is always a good idea to completely turn the unit off by unplugging it from the AC wall outlet. Note that the backup system in the C445 Tuner will retain information such as programmed presets for 14 days.

To dim the brightness of the front panel display, press the Dimmer button on the front panel. The first press will dim the lights to half normal. A second press will turn the display to normal brightness again.

DAB OPERATION

When you turn on the tuner, the tuner will initialize. During 2 seconds, the display will show the following messages:

After the initialization process, the tuner will perform an automatic scan for available local digital radio stations. This sequence can not be interrupted. During the sequence, the following message will be visible on the display.

The arrows show the progress of the sequence. On the right top side, you will see how many digital stations have been found.

If no digital stations can be found, the display will show NO STATIONS AVAILABLE. You can now select MANUAL TUNE by pressing the Select Button or turn the Control Ring ) to select AUTOTUNE FULL or AUTOTUNE LOCAL to try to manually find available stations.

If no stations can be found, please check that the antenna is connected correctly and if your area is covered by DAB.

STATION LIST

Once the C445 Tuner has finished the scanning sequence, it will display the available stations in alphanumeric order. Turn the Control Ring clockwise or counter-clockwise to scroll through the list of available stations. The upper display line in the Information Display will always show the current station you are listening to. The lower display line shows the next station in the list. To select the next station, simply press the Select button on the front panel or on the remote control.

The current station list will remain in the memory of the C445 Tuner. It can be updated by running the Autotune function as described above, or deleted by resetting the C445's memory (see page 14).

NOTE: The station list can be shown in different order. For more information, see page 11.

It can occur that one of the stations in your list is temporarily not available. A "?" symbol will be visible in front of the station name to indicate such a station. If you select the station, the Information Display will show STATION NOT AVAILABLE, and will go back to the current radio station.

PRESET SETTING

Besides having the C445 Tuner create a station list, you can also store presets into the tuners memory.

1Tune to the desired station with the Control Ring.

2Press the Memory Button on the front panel or on the remote control. You will see the 01 segments in the Information Display will start to blink.

3Turn the Control Ring, until the desired station preset is shown in the Information Display. The desired preset can also be entered with the Numeric Keys on the remote control.

4Within 4 seconds, press the Memory Button again to store the station in the memory.
