Touch 'DAB' at the bottom of the screen in the middle to
access the following further DAB menu options:

scan - See previous page, scanning for DAB stations��
edit presets - see saving presets (favourites) on page 1��
Drc (Dynamic range control) - 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��

There are 3 levels of compression:
DRC Off - no compression��
DRC Low - medium compression��
DRC High - maximum compression��
Manual tune - Using the manual tune feature, you can select
a specific digital radio channel frequency and then manually
adjust the aerial, or the location of the radio, to get the
strongest possible signal for that channel in your location��
A red line will appear within a yellow rectangle to indicate
the minimum signal strength for acceptable listening�� The
solid bar within the yellow rectangle indicates the actual
signal strength that you are receiving�� The stronger the
signal, the further to the right the solid bar will be��
Note: If only a red line is displayed within the yellow
rectangle, you are not receiving any signal at all for that
particular digital radio channel in your area��
Adjust the position of the aerial on the radio, to obtain the
maximum signal strength��
Prune invalid - You can remove all stations from the station
list that are 'invalid' such as those that are not currently
broadcasting or 'inactive' ��
