DAB Display Information

When listening to a DAB station, you can change the information that will appear on the display. There
are several different types of information that are sent by the broadcaster.
Dynamic Label Segment (DLS) - this is scrolling text information supplied by the broadcaster.
Information could be the name of an artist or song title, DJ's name, contact details for the radio station,
etc.
Signal Strength - A blank display will appear to indicate the minimum signal strength for acceptable
listening. The row of solid rectangles indicates the actual signal strength that you are receiving. The
stronger the signal, the further to the right the row of solid rectangles will be.
Program Type (PTY) - such as 'Rock', 'Pop', 'Talk' or 'News'
Multiplex Name - displays the broadcasting area and collection of radio stations on this frequency e.g.:
BBC National DAB, Digital 1 Network.
Channel and Frequency - e.g.: 12B 225.648 MHz
Signal Error - This is displayed as a number between 0-99. It would not be possible to satisfactorily
listen to a radio station with a signal error rate of 30 or above. Try adjusting the aerial or relocating your
radio to improve reception.
Signal Information - The data rate at which the signal is being transmitted.
Time and Date - supplied by the broadcaster.

Dynamic Range Control (DRC)

In DAB mode:
The dynamic range for each radio programme is set by the broadcaster for each radio station and may
vary according to the type of programme broadcast, such as pop or classical music or a chat show.
The dynamic range control signal is transmitted in parallel with the audio signal for each programme
and with your radio you can use this control signal to expand or compress the dynamic range (the
difference between the loudest and quietest sounds) of the reproduced audio signal. Changing the
dynamic range can affect the 'loudness' and/or 'quality of sound' of the programme that you hear so
that it will be more suited to your listening conditions and your own personal listening requirements. e.g.
in a noisy environment, where quiet sounds might be swamped, setting the compression to maximum
will 'boost' the quiet sounds, whilst keeping the loudest sounds at their original level.
There are 3 levels of compression:
DRC off - no compression. This is the default setting.
DRC low - medium compression.
DRC high - maximum compression.
1. In DAB mode, press and hold the Menu/Info button until the DAB menu is shown.
2. Press the NEXT/PREV button to select the DRC menu and short press STOP/SELECT button to
confirm.
3. In DRC mode, use the NEXT/PREV button to select "DRC off", "DRC low" and "DRC high", then
short press the STOP/SELECT button to confirm.

FM Radio Mode

If you are not already in FM mode, press and release the POWER/MODE button repeatedly to go to
FM mode (refer to the display).
If you were listening to an FM station when you switched the radio off, then this station will be
automatically selected when you switch the radio back on.
Tuning to an FM Station
Press and hold the NEXT button for 2 seconds to scan up the frequency band.
Press and hold the PREV button for 2 seconds to scan down the frequency band.
Press the NEXT/PREV button to fine tune each frequency in 0.05 MHz steps.
Note: If reception is still poor, try moving the radio to another location.
