Overview of DAB  
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is a new  
multimedia broadcasting system that replaces  
the current FM/AM broadcast to transmit audio  
programmes with a quality comparable to that of  
Component  
Component  
Component  
*
CDs .  
Each DAB multiplex radio station converts  
programmes (services) into an ensemble, which  
it then broadcasts. Each service contains one or  
more components. All services and components  
are identified by name, so you can access any of  
them without having to know their frequencies.  
Furthermore, additional information (called  
programme associated data) can be broadcast  
along with the services in the form of text.  
Notes  
• The status of the DAB broadcast depends on your  
country or region. It may not be broadcasted or may  
be in test phase.  
• DAB programmes are broadcast in Band-III (174 to  
240 MHz) and/or L-Band (1452 to 1491 MHz), with  
each band divided into channels. Each of these  
channels has its own channel label. For details on the  
channel labels and frequencies that this tuner  
supports, see the Frequency Table on page 33.  
• This tuner does not support data services.  
With DAB digital radio, you can enjoy:  
– CD sound quality without any hiss or crackle to  
*
spoil the sound  
– both music and data services from a single tuner  
(this tuner does not support data services)  
– the same radio stations of the same frequency from  
anywhere in the country  
– multiple programmes (services) from a single  
frequency  
* Some service components may not match CD quality  
sound.

improve.  
What is the Radio Data  
System?  
Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting  
service that allows radio stations to send  
additional information along with the regular  
program signal. RDS is available only on FM  
stations.*  
• Press TUNING MODE repeatedly until “AUTO”  
appears in step 3 above, then press + or – (or  
TUNING + or – on the unit). The frequency  
indication changes and scanning stops when the  
system tunes in a station (Automatic Tuning).  
• To record the radio programs, use manual recording  
Note  
RDS may not work properly if the station you are tuned  
in is not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the  
signal is weak.  
• When receiving DAB station that carries DRC  
(Dynamic Range Control) data, “DRC” appears in  
the display.  
• “SECONDARY” appears in the display when  
receiving secondary service (DAB only).  
• Primary service is automatically received when  
secondary service ends.  
* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do they  
provide the same types of services. If you are not  
familiar with the RDS system, check with your local  
radio stations for details on RDS services in your  
area.  
Receiving RDS broadcasts  
Simply select a station from the FM band.  
When you tune in a station that provides RDS  
services, the station name appears in the display.  
To check the RDS information  
Each time you press DISPLAY the display  
changes cyclically as follows:  
Station name* t Frequency t Clock display  
t Bass level t Treble level  
* If the RDS broadcast is not properly received, the  
station name may not appear in the display.

Additional Information  
Precautions  
On operating voltage  
• Before operating the system, check that the operating  
voltage of your system is identical with the voltage of  
your local power supply.  
On operation  
• If the system is brought directly from a cold to a  
warm location, or is placed in a very damp room,  
moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD  
player. Should this occur, the system will not operate  
properly. Remove the disc and leave the system  
turned on for about an hour until the moisture  
evaporates.  
On safety  
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power  
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall  
outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.  
• Unplug the system from the wall outlet (mains) if it  
is not to be used for an extended period of time. To  
disconnect the power cord (mains lead), pull it out by  
the plug. Never pull the cord itself.  
• When you move the system, take out any disc.  
If you have any questions or problems concerning your  
system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.  
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the system,  
unplug the system and have it checked by qualified  
personnel before operating it any further.  
Notes on discs  
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth.  
Wipe the disc from the center out.  
On placement  
• Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner,  
commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray  
intended for vinyl LPs.  
• Do not place the system in an inclined position.  
• Do not place the system in locations where it is;  
– Extremely hot or cold  
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat  
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car  
parked in direct sunlight.  
– Dusty or dirty  
– Very humid  
– Subject to vibrations  
• Do not use discs encircled with a protection ring.  
This may cause a malfunction to the system.  
• When using discs that have glue or similar tacky  
substance on the label side of the disc or that used a  
special ink when the label was printed, there is a  
chance that the disc or label may become attached to  
parts inside this unit. When this occurs, it may not be  
possible to remove the disc, and may also cause this  
unit to malfunction. Be sure to check that the label  
side of the disc is not sticky before using.  
The following types of disc should not be used:  
– Rental or used discs with attached seals where the  
glue extends beyond the seal. The perimeter of the  
seal on the disc is tacky.  
– Subject to direct sunlight  
• Use caution when placing the unit or speakers on  
surfaces that have been specially treated (with wax,  
oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the  
surface may result.  
On heat buildup  
• Although the system heats up during operation, this  
is not a malfunction.  
• Place the system in a location with adequate  
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.  
• If you continuously use this system at a high volume,  
the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom  
rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not  
touch the cabinet.  
– Discs that have labels printed using a special ink  
that feels tacky when touched.  
• To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the  
ventilation hole.  
• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square,  
star) cannot be played on this unit. Attempting to do  
so may damage the unit. Do not use such discs.  
Cleaning the cabinet  
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth  
slightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not  
use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or  
solvent such as thinner, benzene or alcohol.
