Intellitext™ - news, sports and more Intellitext* provides on-demand text information such as sports headlines and news from DAB stations. The text is stored in your radio while you listen to stations and is updated by the broadcasters. Intellitext is listed by station and split into categories. For example, the broadcaster may send information on Football, Cricket, Headlines etc. When your unit is on, Intellitext will only appear for stations that you have been tuned to for a while.
Using the EPG (Electronic Programme Guide) EPG provides programme schedules and information for DAB stations that broadcast it. If a station belongs to a multiplex which has EPG available, an EPG icon is displayed next to the station name. Programme schedules are displayed when sufficient information has been received. If the schedules are updated or you tune to a station in another multiplex with EPG, then the schedules are refreshed so there may be a delay in displaying them.
Changing DAB options MENU > DAB Guide settings Change the way the programme guide information is handled: Current multiplex only Displays latest broadcast information from current multiplex only Store guide to SD card Displays latest programme guide information on the SD card if available. Programme guide information from all multiplexes is stored to a folder called ‘GUIDE’ on the SD card and automatically updated when new information is broadcast. This is also updated if the unit is in standby.
Using FM The first time you switch to FM or after resetting your unit, select the FM tuning mode: Autotune Finds all the stations available in your area and lists them in alphanumerical order using RDS (Radio Data System) station names where available. Manual tuning Tune manually either in steps of 0.05 MHz or seek to find the next station.
Playing a CD Insert your CD label side up. DMX-50 checks the CD type and loads a track list. If you insert a CD with MP3 files on it DMX-50 detects this and displays the MP3 icon on the screen. MP3 files can be in folders on the CD and playlist files which usually have a .M3U file extension are also supported.
Using an SD memory card You can use an SD card (2GB maximum) for recording* and playing back DAB digital radio or playing MP2/MP3 files recorded elsewhere. As a rough guide – a 2GB card will give you around 30 hours of DAB recording time from a 128 kbps broadcast data rate. Note DMX-50 records files to SD cards in MP2 format. You may need to use a computer to convert these files to a different format if you wish to use them in another SD card device.
Repeat TRACK ALL OFF Repeats the current track. Repeats all tracks in the current folder. No repeat. Delete Turn the TUNE/SELECT dial to browse a list of tracks and folders on the SD card and push to delete the highlighted track or open/close a folder. Alternatively use the bottom shortcut buttons or left/ right arrows on the remote. Format Deletes all files (including any non-audio files) and clears the card. This may be a good idea if you have previously used the card in another device.
Changing the alarm snooze time MENU > Alarm/timer >Snooze period Choose a snooze period between 5 and 59 minutes. The snooze period applies to all alarms. Cancelling alarms When an alarm goes off, the alarm icon flashes and you have several options: Snooze Press the bottom left shortcut button or down arrow on the remote to snooze the alarm for a set period (the default is 8 minutes). The alarm will re-sound when the snooze period has elapsed.
Setting the clock MENU > Alarm/timer > Set clock In most cases the time and date on your DMX-50 comes from and is updated by the DAB or FM (RDS) signal. If a good DAB or FM signal is not available or you want to manually set the time/date you can use this option. General options Press the MENU button to access the following options: Audio Tone Set the Bass output level. Push the dial to set the Treble level. Balance Adjust the audio balance between left and right channels.
Hints and Tips I don’t see any Intellitext This could be because you haven’t tuned to a participating station or the station hasn’t broadcast any Intellitext since you tuned in. Try tuning to a participating station, wait and then check again. (>>/<<) DAB Secondary services Secondary services accompany some stations, providing extra information or alternative content and may only be broadcast at certain times.
