RT-06 DAB/AM/FM Stereo Tuner

Digital Audio Broadcast

(DAB)

DAB is short for ‘Digital Audio Broadcast’ and

is a new form of radio broadcasting which

utilizes digital technology. DAB is capable or

providing near CD quality audio with virtu-

ally interference free reception.

DAB operates in frequency band III (174-

240MHz) and L-band (1452-1490MHz).

Band III is divided into 41 channels labeled

5A to 13F and L-band is divided into 23

(24 for Canadian L-band) channels labeled

LA to LW.

DAB channels are categorized into ensembles,

which are also known as multiplexes. Each

multiplex provides a number of stations and

each service contains a primary service that

can contain secondary services. DAB technol-

ogy allows broadcasters to transmit additional

data along with the audio, which can include

other audio channels, text and in the future,

even images and computer data.

Basic Operations of DAB

NOTE: When the DAB tuner is used for the

ﬁrst time the FL display will ask whether you

want to auto-tune to ﬁnd the available service

in your area. For most applications auto-tune

should only need to be carried out once. Se-

lect <YES> to conﬁrm the selection. The tuner

will then search automatically for available

stations on the DAB network. The number of

stations received will depend on the location

of your aerial and the available multiplexes in

your area. For optimal reception we recom-

mend using a dedicated outdoor aerial.

BAND, DAB buttons

The RT-06 receives AM, FM and DAB signals.

DAB mode is selected by pressing the BAND

key on the front panel. Direct access to DAB

mode can be selected using the DAB button

on the remote control.

UP, DOWN Buttons

The UP and DOWN keys available on the

front panel and remote control can be used

to change between stations and also for

selecting options in the set-up menu (see

SETUP MENU).

ENTER Button

Press the ENTER button on the front panel to

conﬁrm a selected parameter.

DISPLAY Button

The RT-06 shows the service identiﬁcation

in the upper portion of the FL display. This

information is received by the network and

allows the RT-06 to display six available

modes. Press the <DISPLAY> button to toggle

through the different modes which are shown

on the lower portion of the FL display. The six

modes are as follows:

• Program type: Displays genre or other

program information.

• Ensemble name: Multiplex identiﬁca-

tion is displayed.

• Frequency: Indicates the frequency that

the selected multiplex is transmitted on.

• Bit rate: The rate at which bits (informa-

tion) are transmitted. This is expressed

in thousands of bits per second (Kbps),

which effectively shows the quality of the

broadcast. The higher the bit rate is the

better the sound quality is.

• Dynamic label segment: This is the

text that scrolls across the FL display and

gives information on the play list and cur-

rent program content. This feature is subject

to the service provider and station.

• Signal strength: Indicates the input

signal level to the DAB module in block

format.

MEMORY Button

The RT-06 can store up to 99 DAB preset

stations. When you want to save a selected

station, press the memory button on the front

panel, then one of the numerical buttons of

the front panel that you wish to save the sta-

tion to. FM and DAB memorized stations are

separate meaning that a station can be saved

to ‘1’ on DAB and another station with the

same number for FM.

NUMERIC Button

The numerical buttons can be used to store to

a PRESET station or recall a PRESET.

TUNE/PRESET Button

The RT-06 has two operating modes:

• DAB Manual Mode:

When the tuner is selected to this mode,

you can scroll through all the available

stations using the up and down keys.

• DAB Preset Mode:

Use the preset button to enable you to use

the up and down keys to scroll thourgh

your saved stations. Preset is displayed in

the FL display once this mode has been

selected.

Setup Operation

NOTE: The set-up menu features advanced

settings. For most installations the factory

default will be the optimal required setting

for the RT-06.

SETUP Button

The SETUP button on the front panel accesses

the Setup menu used for the advanced set-

tings of the RT-06.

SETUP MENU

Press the SETUP button on the front panel to

view the menu settings in the FL display. The

operation can be cancelled by pressing the

SETUP button again. After a short amount of

time, the menu will automatically exit when

no remote buttons have been pressed.

Use the UP and DOWN keys of the front

panel to scroll through the different menu

settings. Press the ENTER button to conﬁrm

a selection.

The following options are available: Use of

these features will require knowledge of your

local DAB transmitter.

DAB DAC VOLUME: The RT-06 allows level

adjustments to the DAC volume. The DAC

volume can be adjusted between 0 – 255

using the up and down keys. This feature can

be used to match the output signal level of

other equipment in your set-up.

brightness using the up and down keys. This

can be adjusted to your preference.
