Scan DAB stations Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) is a digital broad casing standard for terrestrial reception of digital radio. A list of radio stations which can be received in Germany is available on the Internet at www.digitalradio.de. NOTE: In Germany approx. 70 % of the country’s area is covered by digital radio broadcasts (as of Nov. 2011). In the individual areas however, coverage and provision vary greatly. If the DAB stations in your region cannot be received or only with interferences depending on location, in this case you can switch to the FM band to receive this station. This is only possible however if these stations are broadcast via VHF. Find out more on the internet site of the radio station.

quency band is scanned for local stations.

• SEEK THRESHOLD: Set the threshold for the search.

• STEREO THRSHLD: No function in this device. DAB + FM Menu (MAIN MENU) The following submenus can be found in the MAIN MENU menu. In FM mode, only a part of the following menu items is available (see page 4).

• TIME SETUP: Set the time and the date manually. Set the time and date manually here. You can also change the settings for automatic update and the time display format here. - SET CLOCK: Here, you can set the time manually. - SET DATE: Here, you can set the date manually. - AUTO UPDATE: Here, select the source from which the automatic update of time and date should be carried out. Select from: Update of radio (FROM RADIO) and no update (NO UPDATE). - SET 12 / 24 HOUR: Select between 24 hour and 12 hour display. NOTE: In 12 hour display AM = morning, PM = afternoon appears.

• ALARMS: See section “Alarm function“.

• SLEEP: See section “Delayed shut-off (SLEEP)“.

• EQ: Set the sound to suit your requirements.

• PRUNE STATIONS: It may be that you can no longer receive some stations after a station scan or change of location. With this function you can delete these stations from the reception list. Confirm with the AUTO SCAN / ENTER button.

• STATION ORDER: Allows you to set the criteria after which the stations are to be sorted during the scan. - MULTIPLEX: The stations are sorted according to the received program packages. - ALPHANUMERIC: The radio stations which names include a number will rank before the station names consisting of letters. The stations with letters are sorted in ascending order according to the alphabet. - ACTIVE: Stations which are currently broadcasting a program will be sorted into the first positions.

• DRC: short for Digital Range Control (dynamic range). The term DRC describes the ratio between the quietest and the loudest sound. If the dynamic range is very high there are very soft sounds as well as very loud sounds. Under some circumstances this may present a problem with playback. Let us assume that you are listening to a radio station in a relatively loud environment. By increas

ing the volume you can play the quiet sections louder. This however has the disadvantage that the loud sections become uncomfortably loud. It makes sense here to reduce the dynamic range. Select between the options: - DRC OFF: The dynamic range is not reduced. - DRC LOW: The dynamic range is slightly reduced. - DRC HIGH: The dynamic range is sharply reduced.

• FACTORY RESET: Press the AUTO SCAN / ENTER button if you want to reset the device to the default factory settings. All settings which you have made will be lost.
