If you have moved your Radio to another location, e.g. if you go on holiday, then it’s also a good idea to carry out a manual scan.

3. Press the Select button. The radio will instantly tune to that station

and begin to play. Dynamic range control (DRC) The dynamic range for each radio programme is set by the broadcaster for each radio station and may be different for the types of programme broadcast, such as pop or classical music or a chat show. The dynamic range control signal is transmitted in parallel with the audio signal for each programme and with your radio you can use this control signal to expand or compress the dynamic range (the difference between the loudest and quietest sounds) of the reproduced audio signal. Changing the dynamic range can affect the ‘loudness’ and/or ‘quality of sound’ of the programme that you hear so that it will be more suited to your listening conditions and your own personal listening requirements. e.g. in a noisy environment, where quiet sounds might be swamped, setting the compression to maximum will ‘boost’ the quiet sounds, whilst keep- ing the loudest sounds at their original level. Chesterton_DAB_user_Manual EU - OCT v1.indd 20 23/11/2018 08:11There are 3 levels of compression:

• DRC off - no compression. This is the default setting.
