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.

• The currently set option is highlighted by “ “. A Settings menu can be found in DAB mode, as well as in FM/AUX mode. The DAB and FM/AUX menu is explained below along with the general SYSTEM menu. DAB Menu The DAB menu is divided into menus: Full scan, Manual tune, DRC and Prune.

• Full scan: Starts the station scan. The DAB frequency band is scanned for stations.

• Manual tune: To do so you need to know the station frequency. This can be found on the internet site of the broadcasting service. Select individual frequencies using the UP/DOWN buttons (15/13).

• 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 problemEnglish

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 high: The dynamic range is sharply reduced. - DRC low: The dynamic range is slightly reduced.

• Prune: It may be that you can no longer receive some sta- tions after a station scan or change of location. With this function you can delete these stations from the reception list. Select “YES” and confirm with the OK button. DAB + FM Menu (SYSTEM) The following submenus can be found in the SYSTEM menu.
