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.

There are 3 levels of compression:

• DRC off - no compression. This is the default setting.

• DRC low - medium compression.

• DRC high - maximum compression.

1. Long press the Menu/Info button to enter the menu options.

2. Use the rotary Tune/Select control to scroll to DRC. Press to select.

Note: The current DRC setting will have an ‘*’ in the display.

3. Use the rotary Tune/Select control to scroll through the options and press to select.

FM Radio mode

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

• If you are not already in FM mode, short press the Mode button until FM is highlighted,

Troubleshooting

Unable to connect wirelessly to your router:

• Check that you are able to connect successfully to your router using WiFi with another
device, such as a computer, tablet or mobile phone.

• Ensure that your Radio is within range of your router for WiFi connectivity, move it
closer to the router, if necessary.

• Check that you do not have other electrical or WiFi products too close to your Radio,
which could interfere with the WiFi signal.

• Check that you have entered the encryption key or passphrase for your router, ‘exactly’
as it appears, including upper and lower case characters.

• Check that your router has not been set up to restrict access to specific MAC
addresses. The person who set up your network will be able to advise if you need
to enter the MAC address of your radio to the list of allowed devices on your
router. You can find the MAC address of your radio within the Menu, under System
Settings>Network>View settings.

• Check that your network’s firewall is not blocking the connection from your Radio.

Some internet radio stations are not available:

• The station may not be broadcasting at the time of day that you have tried to listen to
it. (Depending on the particular radio station if may be in a different time zone)

• The station may have too many people trying to connect to its servers and their server
capacity may not be enough to enable everyone to connect.

• The station is not broadcasting any more.

• The internet connection between the server (often located in another country) and
you is slow. Some Internet Service Providers may fail to provide service in some
geographical areas. You could use a computer to check if the internet radio station
can be received.

• If the radio station connection is intermittent or keep stopping. Check your internet
broadband connection and speed.
