DAB mode receives DAB/DAB+ digital radio and displays information about the station, stream and track playing.
Scanning for stations
The first time you select DAB radio mode, or if the station list is empty, unit automatically performs a full scan to see
what stations are available. You may also need to start a scan manually to update the list of stations for one of the
following reasons:
•
Available stations change from time to time.
•
If reception was not good for the original scan, this may result in an empty or incomplete list of available stations.
•
If you have poor reception of some stations (burbling), you may wish to list only stations with good signal strength.
To start a scan manually, choose Full scan. To scan only stations with good signal strength, select Local scan.
Once the scan is complete, the radio shows a list of available stations. To remove stations that are listed but not una-
vailable, choose Prune invalid.
Turn the navigatereel to view a list of stations and press to select. Once selected, the station plays and the screen
shows information about station, track or show as broadcast.
Presets
To store a DAB preset, press and hold PRESET until the display shows the Save preset screen. Select one of the 10
presets to save the currently playing station and confirm pressing NAVIGATE / VOL+/- / OK.
To select a preset, press PRESET briefly, then select one of the listed preset stations. When a preset station is playing,
it shows Pn (P1, P2 etc) at the bottom right of the screen.
P1 to P10 on the remote control are for the use ofpreset station 1-10.
Now playing information
While the stream is playing, the screen shows its name and DLS (Dynamic Label Segment) information broadcast by
the station giving real-time information such as programme name, track title and contact details. Stereo broadcasts
are indicated with an icon at the top of the screen. To view further information, press INFO.
Each time you press INFO, another set of information is displayed, cycling through DLS text, programme type, ensem-
ble name/frequency, signal strength/error rate, bite rate/codec/channels and today's date.

Dynamic range compression (DRC)
If you are listening to music witha high dynamic range in a noisy environment, you may wish to compress the audio
dynamic range. This makes quiet sounds louder, and loud sounds quieter. You can change DRC as off, low or high.

Station order
You can choose the order of the DAB station list to be either Alphanumeric, Ensemble or Valid.
Ensemble lists groups of stations that are broadcast together on the same ensemble. Valid lists valid stations first,
