Note: Always keep the volume within reasonable limits.

9

Using the DAB Radio

Wire radio aerial

Please make sure that the wire aerial on the back of the Micro is fully extended and
adjusted before you attempt to tune to a DAB radio station (a vertical position is
recommended). This will ensure that the maximum signal strength is available when
the Micro begins to scan. Extending the aerial also ensures the best possible sound
quality.

DAB radio mode

Check that your Micro is in DAB radio mode. If you are not already in DAB mode,
briefly press and release the ‘Mode’ button on the front of the Micro or on the remote
control, until you are in DAB mode (check the display).

The first time you use the Radio or if the station list is empty, your Micro will
automatically begin to scan for DAB radio stations. A progress bar will show the
progress of the scan and the number of stations found during the scan will also be
displayed.

When the scan is complete your Micro will select the first available station and begin to
play. Stations are listed in numerical and then alphabetical order by default.

Changing DAB stations

In DAB mode:

1. Press and release the ‘Tune+’ or ‘Tune-’ on the front of the Micro or the and

buttons on the remote control to move through the available stations.

2. When the station that you would like to listen to is displayed press the rotary
control on the Micro to ‘Select’ or press ‘Select’ on the remote control. There will
be a short delay whilst your Micro tunes to your selected station.

Scanning for DAB stations

With DAB radio, additional stations and services regularly become available so it’s a
good idea to carry out a manual scan every now and then to make sure that you have
the most up to date station listing stored within the memory of your Micro.

If you have moved your Micro to another location, e.g.: if you go on holiday, then it’s
also a good idea to carry out a manual scan.

In DAB mode:

1. Press and release the button on the Micro or the ‘Scan’ button on the remote
control to begin a search for stations. 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.

4. Press the rotary control on the Micro to ‘Select’ or the ‘Select’ button on the
remote control. The display will confirm ‘Preset X stored’, where ‘X’ is the number
of the preset (1-10).

Note: If there is already an existing DAB station stored under a preset, it will be over
written when you store the new station.

Tune to a DAB station preset

In DAB mode:

1. Press and release the button on the Micro or the ‘Prog.‘ button on the remote
control. ‘Preset Recall’ is displayed together with the number of the current preset

DAB display information

When listening to a DAB station you can change the information that will appear
on 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.

• Signal Strength
An arrow will appear on the display to indicate the minimum signal strength for

acceptable listening. The row of triangles indicates the actual signal strength
that you are receiving. The stronger the signal, the further to the right the row of
triangles 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 30 or above. Try
adjusting the aerial or relocating your Micro to improve reception.

• Signal information
The data rate at which the signal is being transmitted.

1. Repeatedly press and release the ‘Menu’ button on the Micro or on the remote
control to cycle through the dierent information options.

12

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 hold the ‘Menu’ button on the Micro or on the remote control. Use the

and buttons on the Micro or on the remote control to move to <DRC>.

2. Press the rotary control on the Micro to ‘Select’ or the ‘Select’ button on the
remote control. The current DRC setting will have an ‘*’ next to it.

3. Use the and buttons on the Micro or on the remote control to move
through the options and press the rotary control on the Micro to ‘Select’ or the
‘Select’ button on the remote control to confirm.

4. Press and release the ‘Menu’ button to exit the Menu.

13

Using the FM Radio

Wire radio aerial

Please make sure that the wire aerial on the back of the Micro is fully extended and
adjusted before you attempt to tune to an FM radio station (a vertical position is
recommended). This will ensure that the maximum signal strength is available when
the Micro begins to scan. Extending the aerial also ensures the best possible sound
quality.

FM Radio mode

Check that your Micro is in FM radio mode. If you are not already in FM mode, briefly
press and release the ‘Mode’ button on the front of the Micro or on the remote control,
until you are in FM mode (check the display). When your Micro is in FM mode it can
receive Radio Data System or ‘RDS’ information if this is being transmitted by the
broadcaster. RDS information will often include the station name, detail about the
programme and the current time.

If you were listening to an FM station when you switched the Micro o then this station
will be automatically selected when you switch the Micro back on.

Tuning to an FM station

The scan will only stop when a strong signal strength is received which should also

result in a better audio quality.
It is possible that the station you are scanning for may be missed using this option.

• All stations
The scan will stop for every station it receives, even if the signal strength is poor.

2. Use the and buttons on the Micro or on the remote control to move to
