To navigate in and access the channel group
list turn TUNE. The name of the Ensemble is
shown in the upper part of the TV screen. When
scrolling to the new
Ensemble the name
changes to the new one. A thick grey line sep-
arates the two channel groups from each other.
•Service - Shows channels irrespective of
the channel group to which they are allo-
cated. The list can also be filtered using the
selection of programme type (
PTY
filtering), see below.
ScanningThe function automatically searches the cur-
rent wavelength for strong stations. When a
station is found, it is played for approx. 8 sec-
onds before scanning is resumed. When a sta-
tion is playing back it is saved as a preset in the
usual way. For more information on presets,
see "Preset" below.

Go in DAB mode to DAB menu

start scanning.
NOTE
Scanning stops if a station is saved.
Scanning can also be selected in DAB-PTY
mode. In which case only channels of the pre-
selected programme type are played.
Programme type (PTY)Various types of radio programmes can be
selected using the programme type function.
There are a number of different programme
types which also include different programme
categories. After selecting a programme type,

mented.
Preset10 station presets can be stored per wave-
length. DAB has 2 memories for presets:
DAB1 and DAB2. Storing of presets is per-
formed in the usual way, for more information
see page 226. The stored presets are selected
using the preset buttons.A preset contains one channel but no sub-
channels. If a subchannel is being played and
a preset is saved then only the main channel is
registered. This is because subchannels are
temporary. At the next attempt to retrieve the
preset, the channel which contained the sub-
channel will be played. The preset is not
dependent on the channel list.
A list of pre-selected channels can be shown
