[. . . ] Source selection Preset mode indicator Switching to the radio Press SOuRCe+ or SOuRCe- until the radio type that you wish to listen to (DAB/FM) is displayed on the front panel. Alternatively, press the DAB or FM button on the remote control for direct access. Transmission details, or other information Searching for stations Pressing the MODe button when the radio is selected as the music source toggles between the two tuning modes of Solo Neo ­ `Preset' or `Tune'. The selected mode is shown briefly on the display. When in preset mode, pressing the B or C buttons on the remote control (0 or / on the front panel) shows the previous/next station preset (if these are defined). Note that these buttons have no effect, in preset mode, if no presets are defined. In tune mode, by contrast, pressing these buttons changes the FM tuning frequency or selects the next DAB radio station from the station list. FM To search for new stations, ensure that Solo Neo is in `Tune' mode, as described above. Use the B and C buttons (0 or / on the front panel) to select the desired tuning frequency. This can be used for tuning to a specific frequency. It is also useful if you are trying to select a station that is too weak for automatic tuning. Pressing the B or C buttons on the remote control (0 or / on the front panel) for longer than one second engages automatic tuning. Solo Neo searches for a radio station signal of sufficient strength, then stops. To skip to the next station, press one of the buttons again. DAB Tuning stations in under DAB is different from conventional FM tuning, in that you do not need to know the transmission frequency of the station ­ this is handled for you by Solo Neo. Select DAB as the source, then press the MeNu button. Navigate through the menu options (see page 16) until `DAB Setup' is displayed. There are two options under this menu item ­ `Scan' and `Erase settings'. Selecting `Scan' causes Solo Neo to search for new DAB stations. If any are found, then they will be added automatically to the list of available stations. Press MeNu for a second time to exit the menu. To select a DAB radio station, press the B or C buttons on the remote control until the name of the station you want to listen to is displayed. Press O to tune to the displayed station. If O is not pressed, the display will return to the current station after a few seconds. Display modes Solo Neo provides different display modes when listening to the radio. The mode is changed (cycled) by pressing the INFO button on either the front-panel or the remote-control. [. . . ] If Solo Neo causes interference to radio or television reception (which can be determined by switching Solo Neo off and on), the following measures should be taken: < Re-orient the receiving antenna or route the antenna cable of the effected receiver as far as possible from Solo Neo and its cabling. < Relocate the receiver with respect to Solo Neo. < Connect the receiver and Solo Neo to different mains outlets. If the problem persists, please contact your Arcam dealer.
