Introduction
Thank you for choosing the DRX-601E or DRX-601ES Digital Radio Tuner.
This manual provides information on setting up your unit, instructions on using it and details of the accessories and support available. Throughout
this manual we refer to the DRX-601E (black) and DRX-601ES (silver) jointly as the DRX-601E/ES unless the information only applies to one of
the units.
The DRX-601E/ES is a dedicated high performance digital radio tuner. Also known as Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB), digital radio provides
superb quality sound, eliminating the hiss, crackle and fade associated with analogue radio broadcasts.
Broadcast by the BBC since 1995, and by national commercial stations since 1999, DAB provides high-detail, digital-quality sound; supports
over 60 national, local and digital-only channels; and enables broadcasters to provide additional text information such as the station name and
track information or a scrolling ticker showing sports results, news headlines and financial information.
Designed to complement your hi-fi separates system, the DRX-601E/ES provides a new radio input source to your hi-fi amplifier or works with an
existing FM/AM radio tuner. The DRX-601E/ES comes with an LCD display and fully-featured infrared remote control.
The DRX-601E/ES has a range of input and output sockets for maximum connectivity including: dual phono for stereo analogue audio output;
coaxial and optical S/PDIF digital output (48 kHz) for direct digital recording to MiniDisc, CD-R or DAT; AM/FM tuner line-level input with auto
pass-through to output at power off; optical RDI data output connector and RF F-connector for your aerial.
