radio outside of the UK, then
press the ‘Menu/Info’ button and
then press the left hand rotary
control to ‘Select’ a full scan. Your
radio will begin a wider, national
and local scan. The display
will change to ‘Scanning...’. A
progress bar will show the
progress of the scan and the
number of stations found during
the scan will also be displayed.
A national and local scan takes
approximately 1 minute but can

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 dierent 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.

10

Signal Strength - An empty
will appear on the second line
of the display to indicate the
minimum 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 the
row of solid rectangles
will be.

Program Type (PTY) - such as
‘Rock’, ‘Pop‘, Talk’ or ‘News’

Multiplex Name - displays the
broadcasting area and
collection of radio stations on
this frequency e.g.: BBC National
DAB, Digital 1 Network.

Channel and Frequency - e.g.:
12B 225.648 MHz

Signal error - This is displayed
as a number between 0-99.
It would not be possible to
satisfactorily listen to a ratio
station with a signal error rate of

dierent information options.

11

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 dierent 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
dierence between the loudest
and quietest sounds) of the
reproduced audio signal.
Changing the dynamic range
can aect 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 O - no compression. This is

the default setting.

DRC Low - medium compression.
DRC High - maximum

compression.

1. Press and release the ‘Menu/

Info’ button.

2. Use the left hand rotary control

to scroll to ‘DRC’ and press to
select. The current DRC setting
will have an ‘*’ in the top right of
the display.

3. Use the left hand rotary

control to scroll through the
3 compression level options
available and press the rotary
control to ‘select’. Press the
‘Menu/Info’ button to return to
the station display.

Troubleshooting

If you are experiencing problems with your Radio, there are some
quick and easy checks that you can do, which may help to solve the
problem.

Problem Solution

No sound / power: - Increase the volume.

- Check that the mains power cable is
connected securely, is plugged in and the
power switched on.

- Low or no battery power. Batteries
incorrectly inserted. Insert fresh batteries
correctly.

- Do you have headphones connected?
Either unplug the headphones or use
them to listen to your radio.

Radio reception is
poor:

- Fully extend the aerial to get the best
reception and sound quality.

- Retune for radio stations, see pages 8 & 13
respectively for DAB and FM.

- Try moving your Radio to another location
to see if reception improves.

- Check that you do not have other
electrical equipment too close to your
Radio, causing interference.

- Visit www.digitalradionow.com for
information about DAB reception in your
area.

- Check that the Radio is not in Standby
mode. Press and hold the ‘Power/Mode’
button to power on the Radio.
