DR 316 C is a sophisticated multi-source media player. To simplify the set up process as much as possible, when DR 316 C is first started a setup wizard helps take you through the basic steps to enable connections with the different audio sources. The various listening modes have different requirements:

  • Internet Radio requires a suitable internet broadband connection (usually wireless network).
  • Music Player requires connection to wireless network connected device.
  • DAB/FM requires a DAB/FM broadcast signal via the built in antenna.
  • Aux-In requires connection via the Aux-In socket. To start DR 316 C, connect the unit to a suitable power source using the power supply provided. The unit starts up. (there may be a few seconds delay before the display is initialised) After showing a Starting screen DR 316 C will normally enter the last used listening mode. The first time DR 316 C is started (or after being reset to factory settings) the setup wizard is launched automatically.

When DR 316 C is started for the first time, it runs through a setup wizard to configure settings for date/time and network. Once this has finished, the system is ready to use in most modes.

  • Note: To change these settings later, select Menu > System settings > and select the required settings option. To run the setup wizard again, select Menu > System settings > Setup wizard. Select Yes to start the setup wizard. If you choose No, the next screen asks if you would like to run the wizard next time DR 316 C is started. The system then starts without configuring time/date and network settings and enters the Main Menu. The Setup wizard guides you through the basic setup parameters for Time/Date and Network connection. For details see the relevant settings in section 8 Settings. To change any settings later all setting functions are accessible from the Settings Menu.50 English

Operation After the initial setup, DR 316 C is ready for operating in most Modes. To select a Mode, press MODE , then turn clockwise or anticlockwise of the rotary to scroll left or right through the mode list. Press Select to confirm the current highlighted mode, mode splash screen will be displayed. After a brief moment DR 316 C switches to that mode. The last station or track previously used in that mode is selected. If this is not possible, DR 316 C scans for relevant stations, networks, or prompts the user for appropriate input. See the relevant Mode section for details of how to use each listening mode.

To enter the menu tree in a particular mode press MENU. To move back a menu level press BACK. To exit the menu system, press MENU again. Each mode has a Mode menu, with options specific to that mode. For example, the FM mode menu has two mode specific options: Scan setting and Audio setting. In addition, each mode menu has two final options: System settings > and Main menu >. The ‘>’ indicates options leading to further menus.

The System settings menu presents system setting functions to allow the user to setup how the unit behaves. This includes: Equaliser, Network, Time/Date, Language, Factory Reset, Software update, Software upgrade, Setup wizard, Info and Backlight parameters.

The Main menu presents an alternative method for selecting listening modes plus sleep and alarm functions.English

  • Network profile DR 316 C is compatible with all common network protocols and encryption methods, including Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS). To connect DR 316 C to your network, you need to the following:
  • A Wi-Fi wireless router, together with passphrase key, if set. To select a network use either the Network wizard or Manual settings.

This guides you through the necessary steps to join a network. This is also automatically run as part of the Setup wizard. The screens and options presented will depend on the type of network and network protection used. Selecting a network When the Network wizard is chosen DR 316 C automatically scans for available wireless networks and presents a list of SSID’s (Service Set Identifier) for the networks. Those options starting with WPS in brackets indicates encrypted networks offering Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) options, for further details see under section 8.2.2 WPS Setup (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). DR 316 C remembers login details for the last four wireless networks it has connected to and will automatically connect to them when they are available. If connection to a network is temporarily lost, DR 316 C will automatically reconnect. Wi-Fi network (SSID) select a network from the list. If the network is open (non-encrypted), DR 316 C connects and no further details are required, see Completion below.

Standard encrypted network If the wireless network is protected the next screen presents options to enter the network key or passphrase.English

To enter the network’s key (passphrase), highlight the relevant character and press to select each character in turn. As each character is selected, the key is built up and displayed in the field at the top of the display. The three options – Backspace, OK and Cancel are included in the selection loop. There can be accessed just using the TUNE knob or Remote control on the Navigation key control, which moves the selection highlight. DR 316 C connects to the selected network. If connecting fails, DR 316 C returns to a previous screen to try again. To exit the process use the BACK/MENU button. If the network connection is lost, DR 316 C automatically reconnects.

9.2.2 PBC Wlan setup (WPS setup)

PBC Wlan(WPS) encrypted networks are identified by ‘[WPS]’ at the start of the network name. Select and follow the prompts. For more information on setting up a WPS encrypted network, see your WPS router’s instructions.

Displays the settings details for the current network setup, including: • Active connection • MAC Address • Wlan region • DHCP • SSID • IP Address • Subnet mask • Gateway address • Primary DNS • Secondary DNS

Presents a list of regions to configure the appropriate wlan behaviour of DR 316 C. Select the appropriate region for the location in which DR 316 C will be used.56 English

There are also other options for viewing and manually altering network settings from Menu > System settings > Network > (for example setting up a Wireless network). Users experienced with networking may find these options useful for diagnosing and fixing network problems.

9.2.6 Network profile

This displays a list of the networks remembered by DR 316 C (up to a maximum of 4). You can see the list of registered networks through Menu > System settings > Network > Network profile >. From here you can delete unwanted networks by turning and pressing TUNE key.

The date and time are displayed as dd-mm-yyyy and hh:mm AM/PM with the first value, dd, active (flashing). Use Tune knob adjust each value . As each value is set by pressing the Tune knob control, the next value becomes active ready for adjustment.

9.3.2 Auto update (from DAB, FM or Network)

Auto-update works with data sent over DAB, FM or the Internet. The clock is only updated when in a corresponding mode, so it is best to select a mode you use regularly. DAB and FM use time signals broadcast with radio transmissions. Network uses a time signal sent from the Frontier Silicon Internet radio portal when in any network-connected mode.English

1. Select Update from DAB, Update from FM, Update from Network or No update.

2. If you are updating from the network, set your time zone.

3. If your country uses daylight saving, the automatically updated time from the network may

be wrong by one hour. When daylight savings are in effect (during the winter), turn on the Daylight savings option to rectify this. DR 316 C will auto-update from the selected source when time information is available.

Allows you to change between 12 and 24 hour display.

A factory reset resets all user settings to default values, so time/date, network configuration and presets are lost. However, the radio’s current software version is maintained, as is registration with the Internet radio portal. Internet radio favourites therefore remain unless you re-register your radio with another account on the portal website. To perform a factory reset, select Menu > System settings > Factory reset Proceed > Yes.58 English

From time to time, Frontier Silicon may make software upgrades available with bug fixes and/or additional features. You can either check manually, or set DR 316 C to check periodically automatically (this is the default). If DR 316 C detects that newer software is available, it asks if you want to go ahead with an update. If you agree, the new software is then downloaded and installed. After a software upgrade, all user settings are maintained. CAUTION: Before starting a software upgrade, ensure that DR 316 C is plugged into a stable mains power connection. Disconnecting power during a software update may permanently damage the unit. To turn automatic checking on or off, select Menu > System settings > Software update > Auto-check setting.

This allows you to run the Setup wizard at any time. Guides you through the essential settings in the following order:

3. Set Time/Date (this step is only needed if the ‘No Update’ option is selected in Auto update)

4. Network wizard automatically runs (see section 8.2.1 Network Wizard) Once you are connected to a network the wizard is completed. 9.8 Info Shows details of the current system Including: • SW Version: Software version number

  • Radio ID: Unique code used to identify this particular radio device.
  • Friendly name: (name by which the radio is identified on a network.)English

The DR 316 C display can be set to dim, when in Standby, after a Timeout period. This option allows you to set the timeout period and the brightness settings (Power-on level) and (Standby level).

  • Timeout - On, 10 sec, 20 sec, 30 sec, 45 sec, 60 sec, 90 sec, 120 sec and 180 sec are available.
  • Power-on level - High, Medium and Low are available.
  • Standby level - Medium and Low are available.

DR 316 C can play thousands of radio stations and podcasts from around the world through a broadband Internet connection. When you select Internet radio mode, DR 316 C contacts the Frontier Silicon Internet radio portal to get a list of stations, organised into different categories like Country, Most popular and Genre. Once you select a station, DR 316 C connects directly to that station.

The portal also enables multiple lists of favourite stations that you can personalise, for example Andy’s stations, Jo’s favourites, Talkshows. To use the favourites feature, register your radio with the portal website as described in Section 9.6 Internet radio portal registration. If you have several Frontier Silicon radios, you can register them all on the same account so that each radio has access to your favourites lists. It is possible to add favourites either directly through DR 316 C or through any computer with a web browser. To enter Internet Radio mode, either press MODE until the display shows Internet Radio or select Menu > Main menu > Internet Radio. There are several ways of selecting stations:

DAB radio mode receives DAB/DAB+ digital radio and displays information about the station, stream and track playing. To enter DAB mode, either press MODE until the display shows DAB Radio or select [Menu] > Main menu > DAB.

13.1 Scanning for stations

The first time you select DAB radio mode, or if the station list is empty, DR 316 C 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:

  • Available stations change from time to time.
  • If reception was not good for 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 (burbling), you may wish to list only stations with good signal strength. To start a scan manually, select [Menu] > Scan. Once the scan is complete, the radio shows a list of available stations.

A question mark before a station in a list indicates that the station is currently unavailable. Depending on the cause of the loss of signal this may be only temporary. Stations that are unlikely to be available again (for example you have moved out of the broadcast range of a station), can be removed from the station list. To remove stations that are listed but unavailable, select [Menu] > Prune invalid.English

13.2 Now playing information

Dynamic range compression (DRC) Some DAB broadcasts offer dynamic range compression (DRC). This feature allows radios to compress the dynamic range of the output audio stream, so that the volume of quiet sounds is increased and the volume of loud sounds is reduced. This can be useful if you are listening to music with a high dynamic range in a noisy environment (for example classical music ). To change the DRC of DR 316 C, select [Menu] > DRC >. Options included: • DRC high • DRC low • DRC off

You can choose the order of the DAB station list to be either Alphanumeric, Ensemble or Valid. Ensemble lists groups of stations that are broadcast together on the same ensemble, for example BBC or South Wales local. Valid lists valid stations first, alphanumerically, then off-air stations. To change station order, select [Menu] > Station order >, then Alphanumeric, Ensemble or Valid.72 English

While an FM station is playing, the screen shows one of the two following sets data:

  • If RDS information is available, by default the service name (i.e. station name) is displayed. You can cycle through further RDS information by pressing INFO. Each time you press INFO, another set of information is displayed, cycling through RDS radio text, RDS programme type, frequency and today’s date.
  • If no RDS information is available, the currently tuned frequency is shown.English

By default, FM scans stop at any available station. This may result in a poor signal-to-noise ratio (hiss) from weak stations. To change the scan settings to stop only at stations with good signal strength, select [Menu] > Scan setting > Strong stations only? > Yes.

By default, all stereo stations are reproduced in stereo. For weak stations, this may result in a poor signal-to-noise ratio (hiss). To play weak stations in mono, select [Menu] > Audio setting > FM weak reception: Listen in mono only? > Yes.
