DAB

The first time you use the unit, 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.

Press the “→” button repeatedly on the unit or press the “DAB” button on the remote control until “DAB” is displayed to select the DAB function.

Full Scan

Press the "MENU" button, select with the "▼ / ▲" buttons the function "Full scan" and press the "OK" button to confirm. The unit starts a complete scan. Once a scan is complete, the radio returns to playing the previously selected station or first station on the station list.

Selecting stations

Use the “▼ / ▲” button on the remote control or rotate the “NAVIGATE” button on the unit to scroll through the list of station.
Press "OK" on the remote control or on the unit to change station.

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 radio station stations are always listed next to their primary station rather than the normal is indicated with a double chevron pointing left.

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.

Press "MENU" button on the unit or remote control.
Select "Manual tune" and press "OK" to confirm.
Use the “▼ / ▲” button on the remote control or rotate the “NAVIGATE” knob on the unit to display a particular channel/frequency and press the “OK” button on the remote control or on the unit to tune the selected 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.

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 unit 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.

Presets

The unit has 40 preset memories for DAB.

Select one of the listed preset stations by using the "▼ / ▲" buttons on the remote control or rotate the "NAVIGATE" button on unit. Then press the "OK" button on the remote control or on the unit to choose the selected preset station.

DAB Information

While a station is playing, the screen shows the station name and DLS (Dynamic Label Segment) information broadcast by the station such as program name, track title and contact details. Long DLS info, over 16 characters scrolls a cross.

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, 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.

Dynamic range compression (DRC)
