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.

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.

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.

Micro to Select or press Select on the remote control.

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.

DAB display information

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

A row of solid rectangles will be displayed to indicate the actual signal strength that
you are receiving. An empty within the row of solid rectangles will indicate the
minimum signal strength for acceptable listening. 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 radio 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 different information options.

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.

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 on the Micro or on the remote control to exit from
the Menu

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 off then this station
will be automatically selected when you switch the Micro back on.

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.
