Using an SD memory card
You can use an SD card for recording* and playing back DAB digital radio or playing MP2/MP3 files recorded elsewhere. As a rough guide – a 2GB card will give you around 30 hours of DAB recording time from a 128 kbps broadcast data rate.
Note
Inserting and removing a card
To insert an SD memory card, push the card label side up into the slot on the front panel with the gold pins towards the rear of the unit until it clicks. To remove a card push the card in and it will pop out so you can remove it. Note It is not recommended that you remove a card when the SD light is lit.
Recording DAB radio
You can record DAB radio* to SD card.
1.Press the Record button to start recording. You see the record icon () flashing.
2.Press the Record button again to stop recording. You see the time, date and filename that the recording has been saved under. The filename is made up of the month, date and time. e.g. 10141020.mp2 means October the 14th, starting at 10:20 am. The recording also stores the station and multiplex. DAB recordings are saved in a ‘TRACKS’ folder on your SD card so they can be found easily.
Note You can also set up a DAB recording in advance, or for a particular programme using the EPG, see page 8, or a timed event as described on page 13.
