Let's get started
Note: If there is already an existing DAB station stored under a preset, it will be
overwritten when you store the new station.
Tune to a DAB preset station
In DAB mode:
1. Press and release the Preset button. 'Preset Recall <1: >' is displayed and the name
or frequency of the station stored there, or '(Empty)' if no previous station has been
stored.
2. Use the Tune/Select rotary control to scroll to the Preset location and station that you
would like to listen to (1-10). Press and release the Tune/Select rotary control to Select.
The radio will instantly tune to that station and begin to play.
Note: If no DAB station has been stored under the preset button, 'Preset Empty' will be
displayed and the radio will revert to the previously selected radio station.
DAB display information
When listening to a DAB station you can change the information that will appear on the
second line of the display. There are several different types of information that are sent by
the broadcaster.
•
Dynamic Label Segment (DLS)
This is scrolling text information supplied by the broadcaster. Information could be the
name of an artist or music title, DJ's name, contact details for the radio station etc.
•
Signal Strength
An empty

signal strength for acceptable listening. The row of solid rectangles indicate the actual
signal strength that you are receiving. The stronger the signal, the further to the right

Dynamic range control (DRC)
In DAB mode:
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 keeping the loudest sounds
at their original level.
