General information
About Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB)
DAB digital radio is a new way of broadcasting radio via a network of terrestrial transmitters. It provides listeners with more choice and information delivered in crystal clear, crackle-free sound quality.
- The technology allows the receiver to lock on to the strongest signal it can find.
- With DAB digital stations, there are no frequencies to remember, and sets are tuned by station name, so there is no re-tuning on the move.
What is a multiplex?
Digital radio operation is made up of a single block of frequencies called a multiplex. Each multiplex works within a frequency spectrum, such as Band III for DAB broadcasts.
Helpful hints:
- You will receive DAB stations only within your DAB transmission area.
DAB Broadcasters and DLS
Each DAB broadcaster (or multiplex operator) also provides text and audio data services. Some programmes are supported by Dynamic Label Segments (DLS). This is data which you can read as scrolling text on your DAB radio display. Some stations transmit the latest news, travel, and weather, what's on now and next, website addresses and phone numbers.
For more information on digital radio coverage and services, please visit www.drdb.org
Basic operation
1 Press POWER to power on the set.

→ You may press DISPLAY to change the service information on the display.
Dynamic Range Control (DRC)
DRC adds or removes a degree of compensation for the differences in the dynamic range between radio stations. For example, a station broadcasting popular music may have a high level of compensation applied since the emphasis is on a constant high listening level, whereas a station broadcasting classical music will have little or no compensation as the listener requires all of the highs and lows in the music to define the detail.
There are three levels of compensation:
DRC 0: No compensation applied.
DRC 1: Maximum compensation applied (This is the default.).
DRC1/2: Medium compensation applied.
1 In DAB mode, press MENU to enter menu options. 2 Press ◀/▶ repeatedly until "DRC value" is displayed. 3 Press SELECT to enter the sub-menu. → The current DRC level will be displayed on the first line. 4 Press ◀/▶ to select a DRC value (DRC 0, DRC 1 and DRC1/2) displayed on the second line. 5 Press SELECT to confirm the selection when the required value is displayed. → You should be able to hear the difference in compression immediately.
Helpful hints:
- The best way to determine which of these DRC value settings suits you best is to experiment with them on a variety of source material.
Autoscan local
1 In DAB mode, press MENU to enter menu options. 2 Press ◀/▶ repeatedly until "Autoscan local" is displayed. 3 Press SELECT to confirm the selection.
→ The local search for DAB station(s) will be performed.

Hearing Safety
Listen at a moderate volume.
- Using headphones at a high volume can impair your hearing. This product can produce sounds in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for a normal person, even for exposure less than a minute. The higher decibel ranges are offered for those that may have already experienced some hearing loss.
- Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound. So after prolonged listening, what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. To guard against this, set your volume to a safe level before your hearing adapts and leave it there.
To establish a safe volume level:
- Set your volume control at a low setting.
- Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
Listen for reasonable periods of time:
- Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally "safe" levels, can also cause hearing loss.
- Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and take appropriate breaks.
Be sure to observe the following guidelines when using your headphones.
- Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable periods of time.
- Be careful not to adjust the volume as your hearing adapts.
- Do not turn up the volume so high that you can't hear what's around you.
- You should use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
- Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.; it may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.
