Worldwide reception for analogue and digital radio programmes
The new TechniSat MultyRadio is a universal worldwide receiver that not only supports analogue reception technology such as FM/MW/LW/SW tuners, but combines this with their digital successor standards DAB (Digital Audio Broadcast) and DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale). It comes equipped with multimedia functions such as the recording and playback of digital radio broadcasts or music in MP3 format by means of an integrated card reader for commercially available MMC/SD memory cards, the MultyRadio provides an elegant combination of conventional radio reception with state-of-the art digital technology. The new radio receiver by TechniSat is available with immediate effect.
Reception on all bands and frequencies
No matter whether you choose analogue broadcasts via the FM, Medium wave, long wave or short wave bands, or digital broadcasts via DAB or DRM – the high-quality receiver tuner of the MultyRadio allows you to listen to just about any radio station broadcast over the airwaves anywhere. In terms of DRM, the MultyRadio supports broadcasting modes A, B, C and D – this means the universal receiver will pull in even intercontinental stations, or those located in the tropics. Following an initial programme scan, all radio stations in all bands and frequencies are listed in a single, alphabetically sorted programme list. If you rotate the aluminium dial on the front of the unit, you can scroll conveniently through this list, and can confirm your selection of station simply by pressing on the same dial. The integrated loudspeaker boxes are driven by a 5 W stereo amplifier, providing outstanding sound quality. Of course, you can also enjoy your hobby in the solitude provided by headphone listening.
Multimedia included
The integrated SD card reader supplied with the MultyRadio means material can also be sourced from SD/MMC memory cards. These cards allow you to record and play back digital radio broadcasts, among others. In addition to playing back recorded radio broadcasts, the MultyRadio also supports digital music in MP3 or WMA format (Windows Media Audio). When a SD/MMC card is inserted, it will be recognised automatically, and will be indicated to the user by means of a corresponding symbol on the display. Recordings can be started manually using the REC key, or can also conveniently be started using the recording timer. This function allows the user to define up to twelve separate events, which can be recorded on an one-off basis, or weekly, daily, only on workdays or only on weekends, at specified times. A sleep timer as well as an alarm clock function are also provided.
Easy to operate
Operating the MultyRadio is simple and uncomplicated. To operate the MultyRadio, simply connect it to your domestic mains power supply. A programme scan will be started automatically, taking in all available bands, the first channel found will then be selected and played. You can immediately access a list of all stations found, using the aluminium push-and-turn dial. A blue LCD display is located in the centre of the unit, showing programme and title information, as well as the user-friendly on screen menus. To the left and right of this are keys for direct adjustment and control of, e.g. sound volume, menu, programme scan or recording. Also located here are six programmable quick-select keys, providing fast access to your favourite radio stations. The push-and-turn dial located below the display allows you to move quickly and conveniently through the user-friendly list menus.
