Using your tuner

Searching for radio stations: DAB

When using the DAB tuner section for the fi rst time, you should perform a search to fi nd the available
services in your area. You may also wish to repeat the search periodically to discover if any new
ensembles (i.e. groups of services) have gone on air, or if you move the tuner to a different area.

To perform a search

Ensure that the DT91 is in DAB mode (by pressing the DAB/FM button until ‘DAB’ is shown on the
display), then press

SEARCH

or

MENU

; the display shows ‘DAB Setup: Press SELECT to scan’. Press

SELECT

to start searching for new stations. The current search frequency is shown on the display as the

search progresses.
A complete search may take three minutes or so to complete. You cannot cancel a search once started.
If no service is found after the search, then either your aerial is inadequate or you may be outside of the
area covered by DAB broadcasts. Please contact your Arcam dealer for further information or advice.

Selecting a service

Turn the rotary controller (or press

4

or

3

on the remote control) to work through the available

stations and to choose the one you wish to listen to. The service displayed will be selected automatically
after a delay of about two seconds.

Deleting services

Under normal circumstances, you should not need to delete services from the DT91. If you move to a
different region, however, or if a station ceases transmission, stations may be shown as available that
can no longer be received.
Individual stations cannot be deleted. To remove stations from the selection list that can no longer be
received, fi rst press the

MENU

button; the display shows ‘DAB Setup: Press SELECT to scan’. Turn the

control knob until the display shows ‘DAB Setup: Press SELECT to erase’, then press

SELECT

. All services

are deleted.
A delete operation should always be followed by a search for available stations (as described previously)
otherwise no DAB radio stations will be available for selection.
