Retuning your unit You can re-tune your unit at any time using the autotune process. You may wish to do this if a new multiplex is launched or you move your unit to another room. You do not need to perform an autotune to pick up new stations within a multiplex you are listening to as your EVOKE-1 Elgar monitors and refreshes the list of available stations automatically. The following two options are available: Autotune local - scans all frequencies in the UK channel allocation.
Selecting a station Once you have tuned your EVOKE-1 Elgar you select the digital radio station you want to listen to using the Tune knob. If you have assigned stations to presets you can also select them directly by pressing the relevant numbered button (1-6), see Storing and recalling presets on page 10. 1. The top line of the display shows the name of the currently selected station. Rotate the Tune knob to see the names of other stored stations on the bottom line of the display.

Guide to digital radio Your EVOKE-1 Elgar enables you to receive and listen to DAB radio programmes. Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) uses digital signals rather than traditional analogue signals enabling near CD-quality audio with virtually interference-free reception. DAB also enables broadcasters to transmit additional data along with the audio including other audio channels, text and in the future, perhaps computer data and images.
