Switching on and off
Before switching on for the first time, check all connections and ensure that the volume on your
amplifier is turned down.
We recommend that you switch off your DRX-601E/ES when not in use to prevent energy
wastage. Note that if you leave the unit switched off for an extended period (around a month or
longer) you may need to re-tune the unit to refresh the available services.
Push and release the Power button on the front of your DRX-601E/ES to switch the unit on or
off. The blue power on LED will light up when the unit is switched on.
You should now perform the tuning operation described below.
Using your DRX-601E/ES
This section provides information on using the main functions of your DRX-601E/ES including tuning, selecting a service and altering the
displayed information.
Tuning
Tuning the DRX-601E/ES is very simple. In most cases you only need to perform this
operation once, when you first set up the unit. The tuning facility has two modes:
Rapid - scans frequencies in the UK channel allocation. This should take around 45 seconds.
Full - scans the full range of digital frequencies in Band III. This may take several minutes.
All UK digital radio services currently available in your area will be found using the rapid mode.
1. Ensure your DRX-601E/ES is switched on and your aerial is connected and positioned
correctly.
2. Push and release the Autotune button on the front of your DRX-601E/ES once for rapid
mode and twice for full mode.
Note You can cancel Autotune by pushing the Autotune button a third time.
The display will indicate tuning is underway. When finished, the name of the first service
found will be shown on the top line of the display and you should hear it through your
speakers. All the services found are now stored in the unit and you can select a service
as described below.
Note If no services are found the display will show the message NO ENSEMBLES. Check your
aerial connection and positioning and try the tuning process again.
You may want to repeat this procedure in the future if you change your aerial position or if you
want to receive a newly introduced service.
Selecting a service
Once you have tuned your DRX-601E/ES as explained above you can select the digital radio
service you want to listen to. You use the large turn-and-push button to select a service.
1. Rotate the large tuning button to see the names of other stored services on the bottom
line of the display. Stop when you find the service you want to listen to.
2. Push and release the large tuning button to listen to the service you have selected.
If the service you select is in stereo, the Stereo LED will light up. If the service you select has
one or more secondary services available, the Secondary LED will light up.
See page 9 for information on primary and secondary services and see page 8 for details on
selecting primary or secondary services.
Note If reception is poor, check the signal strength and try repositioning your aerial using the
signal strength indicator as described on page 7.
