ABOUT DAB RADIO

Until now, analogue radio signals such as FM or AM have been subject to numerous kinds of interference on their way from the transmitter to your radio. These problems were caused by mountains, high-rise buildings and weather conditions. With Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB), you can now receive CD-like quality radio programs without any annoying interference and signal distortion. DAB broadcasts use digital signals rather than traditional analogue transmissions, thus providing clear high quality reception. You get far more robust reception and virtually hiss or crackle free sound with DAB as long as you are within a good coverage area.

With DAB, the listener can scroll through a list of available stations - then instantly tune to the station of his choice. There is no need either to remember channel frequencies. All broadcasts are selected by simply selecting the service name.

The T 175 makes it possible for you to enjoy listening to DAB broadcasts. The T 175 has a Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) module socket on the rear panel for adding a separately sold and NAD-specified outboard DAB module – the NAD DAB Adaptor DB 1. All the control software for this format is included; just plug-in the module and start enjoying the CD-like quality sound and expansive content selection available with DAB.

CONNECTING THE DAB MODULE

Plug-in the other end of the DIN connector (supplied with your NAD DAB Adaptor DB 1) from the DAB module’s output port into the corresponding DAB module input socket on the rear panel of the T 175. Select DAB mode on the T 175 by toggling the [AM/FM/DB] button in the front panel.

The bars show the progress of the sequence. When scanning is completed, the last number shown on the right side of the VFD corresponds to the total number of DAB broadcast stations found. Then, the first station is tuned in (See “ALPHANUMERIC” section below to understand the order or arrangement of stations).

4The strength of the incoming signal can be shown on the VFD by pressing the [ENTER] button. The more segments visible in the lower display line, the stronger the signal. By changing the position of the antenna, you can increase the signal strength. You can also opt for an external antenna. Consult an antenna professional for more information.

NOTES

•“No Service List” will also be shown in the VFD when no stations are found after the scanning process. If this occurs, check the connection and position of the DAB antenna or call your local DAB broadcast providers for coverage information.

• HTRC 1’s [MENU/FM MUTE], [ENTER] and [			] are the equivalent
remote control keys for the front panel buttons [TUNER MODE], [ENTER]
and [TUNE	/	]. When using these HTRC 1 buttons to navigate

DAB options, ensure that the “DEVICE SELECTOR” setting of your HTRC 1 is set to “TUNER”.
