DAB TUNER MODE

Aside from "Full scan" as already described above, pressing [TUNER MODE]
will also present you with other options namely - Local scan, Station order,
Dynamic range, Manual tune, Prune list and DAB reset. Use [ A/S ] to step
through these options.
An asterisk (*) to the right of a menu option indicates that it is the currently
selected option for a particular DAB menu. For example, <Favourites *> means
"Favourites" is the selected sequence for the DAB menu "Station order".

the progress of the sequence. When scanning is completed, the last number
shown on the right side of the VFD corresponds to the total number of DAB
broadcast stations found. Then, the first station is tuned in.

ALPHANUMERIC
This is the default setting. Stations are arranged by numbers first and then
alphabetically by letters.
ACTIVE

that are in the list but have no service in the area will be displayed last in
the broadcast list.

ENSEMBLE
Digital radio is broadcast as groups of data called ensemble. Each ensemble
contains a number of stations, transmitted at a set frequency. When
"Ensemble" is selected as the mode of station order, the radio stations are
arranged in the order of their ensemble names.
NOTE
Ensemble is also interchangeably termed as "multiplex" by other
broadcast providers.
FAVOURITES
The T 748 memorizes the top ten stations you listen as you tune in stations.
They will be listed at the top of the broadcast list.
DYNAMIC RANGE
The level of compression of stations can be set to eliminate the differences
in dynamic range or sound level between DAB broadcasts. Popular music
would normally be more compressed than classical music, resulting in
possible different audio levels when changing from one station to the
other. Setting the Dynamic Range to "D-range 0" means no compression,
"D-range 1/2" indicates medium compression and "D-range 1" shows
maximum compression. No compression is recommended, especially for
classical music.
1 While listening to a DAB broadcast, press [TUNER MODE] button and
then [ A/S ] to select "Dynamic range". Press [ENTER].

MANUAL TUNE
This option allows you to manually tune to a desired DAB broadcast and
include it in the service list (if not yet available at the time). You can also
use MANUAL TUNE to assist you in positioning the DAB antenna for best
reception of the desired DAB broadcast.
1 While listening to a DAB broadcast, press [TUNER MODE] button and
then [ A/S ] to select "Manual tune". Press [ENTER]. The current channel
and frequency are shown in the lower line of the VFD.
