DAB Operation

DAB radio mode receives DAB / DAB+ digital radio and displays information about the station and the program / track as broadcast.

1. Scanning for Stations

The first time you use the appliance, or if the station list is empty, the radio 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:

• New stations may become available from time to time.
• Stations close or can no longer be received (In the station list, invalid stations are indicated with a question mark in front of their name).
• If reception was not good after the original scan (for example the antenna was not up), this may result in an empty or incomplete list of available stations.
• If you have poor reception of some stations causing the audio to break up, you may wish to list only stations with good signal strength.

Full Scan

Select MENU > Full scan

Once a scan is complete, the radio returns to playing the previously selected station or first station on the station list.

Removing of stations that are listed but not available

Select MENU > Prune

This removes all invalid stations, indicated in the station list with a “?” in front of the station name.

The Now playing screen is displayed with the new station details.

Some stations are secondary services associated with a Primary channel and only available at certain times. Any station that has associated secondary services is indicated with a double chevron pointing to the right. The secondary service station stations are always listed next to their primary station rather than the normal is indicated with a double chevron pointing left. In the Station List is secondary alphabetical order.

3. Presets

The appliance has 40 preset memory locations for DAB.

Storing a station in a preset memory location

Press and hold the PROGRAM button for about 3 to 5 seconds until the display shows "Preset # Stored". Presets (1-40) are displayed as either "Empty" or with the currently stored station name.

Use the ▶▶/◀◀ button to choose a preset memory, then press the ▶▶ button to store the currently playing station. After confirming the preset station is stored, the display reverts to the Now Playing screen.

Recalling a Preset Station

Press the PROGRAM button briefly (the display will show "Preset Recall"). Select one of the listed preset stations using the ▶▶I/I◀◀ button and press the ▶II button to choose the displayed preset station.

4. Manual Tune

As well as the normal method of scanning, you can also manually tune to a particular channel / frequency. This can be useful for adjusting your antenna to achieve the best possible reception and scanning a particular channel to update the station list.

Manual Tuning

Press MENU > Manual tune, then use the ▶▶/I◀◀ button to display a particular channel / frequency and press the ▶II button to tune to that channel / frequency. The display shows a live indication of the received signal strength on the selected frequency. Adjustments to your antenna will be manifested in the received signal strength displayed.

i NOTE:

The slightly larger rectangle indicates the audio quality threshold. If the signal strength, as indicated by the solid rectangles, falls below this threshold, the audio quality will deteriorate. At the same time, the appliance scans for any DAB stations on the selected frequency and updates the station list with any new stations found. To listen to any stations found, return to the Now Playing screen and select the required station from the station list as normal.

5. Now Playing Information

Each time you press the INFO button, the next set of information is displayed, cycling through: DLS text, DL Plus information (this is only displayed if broadcast by the station), signal strength, program type, ensemble name, channel number / frequency, signal error rate, bit rate, codec / DAB variant, time and date.

Note:

DL Plus presents additional information that can be broadcast by stations and stored temporarily on your radio. To return to the default Now playing screen at any time, press and hold the INFO button.

6. Other Settings

Dynamic range compression (DRC)

This function reduces the difference between the loudest and quietest audio signal being broadcast.

Effectively, this makes quiet sounds comparatively louder and loud sounds comparatively quieter.

Note:

DRC only works if it is enabled by the broadcaster for a specific station.

Changing the DRC Setting

Select MENU > DRC > off | low | high.

Alternatively, you can use the ▶▶/▲ buttons to tune, in 50 kHz steps.

2. Presets

The appliance has 40 preset memory locations for FM, which work in the same way as DAB mode presets, as described earlier in Presets on previous page.

3. Now Playing Information
