DAB - DIGITAL AUDIO BROADCASTS
This section provides information on using your DAB
including tuning, selecting a service and altering the
displayed information.
Tuning
Tuning the DAB is very simple. When you first switch on
the unit it will start an automatic tuning process described
below in Tuning for the first time. You may want to retune the unit at a later date if you move the unit to a
different room or if you want to receive a newly introduced
multiplex.
Tuning for the first time
When you switch on your DAB for the first time an autotune
process will be performed automatically. A progress
indicator on the display shows that autotune underway.
“Welcome to Digital Radio” will be displayed on LCD.
If stations are found during the autotune
The stations will be stored in alphanumeric order and the
first station on the list will be selected and you will hear
it through the speaker. To listen to other stations, see
Selecting a station.
If no stations are found during the autotune
‘No stations available’ will be shown on the display for a
few seconds and then you see a menu of options. Use
the SCROLL/SEARCH knob to scroll through the following
options and push it to select that option.
Manual Tune - See Manual Tune details of using the
manual tuning option.
Full Scan - scans the full range of digital frequencies in
Band III. This may take a minute or more.
1. Ensure your DAB is switched on and the aerial is
connected and fully extended.
2. Push and release the SCAN button once for local
scan or hold down for around two seconds for a full
scan.
OR
Note:
You can cancel Autotune by pressing the SCAN button
again during the tuning process.
The display will indicate tuning is underway. When
finished, the DAB will return to the station you were
listening to and you will hear it through the speakers. All
the stations found are now stored in the unit and you can
select another station as described in Selecting a station.
If no stations are found, you see the message ‘No Stations
Available’ and the display shows an option menu, see If
no stations are found during the autotune for details of
this menu. Check you aerial is fully extended and try one
of the available tuning options.
Selecting a station
Once you have tuned your DAB you select the digital radio
station you want to listen to using the SCROLL button. If
you have assigned stations to presets you can also select
them directly by pressing the relevant numbered button
(1-6), see storing and recalling presets.
1. The top line of the display shows the name of the
currently selected station. Press the SCROLL
button to see the names of other stored stations on
the bottom line of the display. Stop when you find
the station to which you want to listen.
2. Press the SELECT button to listen to the station
you have selected. The display may show ‘Now
tuning’ briefly as it finds the new station.
If a station has one or more secondary services available
the display will ‘>>’ next to the station name on the station
list and they will appear after the primary service as you
turn the SCROLL/SEARCH knob.
Local Scan - See Retuning your unit below for details of
the local autotune option.
Full Scan - See retuning your unit below for details of
the full autotune option.
Retuning your unit
You can re-tune your unit at any time using the autotune
process. You may wish to do this if a new multiplex is
launched or you move your unit to another room. You do
not need to perform an autotune to pick up new stations
within a multiplex you already have stored as your DAB
monitors and refreshes the list of available stations
automatically. The following two options are available:
Local Scan - scans all frequencies in the UK channel
allocation. This should only take a few seconds.
HELPLINE PHONE NUMBER 0870 873 0080
A secondary service will display ‘<<’before the station
name on the station list indicating that it belongs to the
primary service before it in the list. See information on
primary and secondary services.
- 9 -
If the station has ‘?’ before its name the service is currently
inactive or invalid. If you select a station which has this
symbol the DAB tries to tune to that station. If still
unavailable ‘Service not avail’ or ‘Service off- air ’ will be
displayed and DAB will attempt to tune to an alternative
station. A flashing cursor will indicate that this is underway.
If you want to try to manually tune to this station you
have five seconds in which to push the Tune button and
the manual tuning bar will be displayed enabling you to
adjust your aerial.
Changing the display mode
DAB has six display modes which enable you to view parts
of the broadcast data on the bottom line of the display.
Press the DISPLAY button and repeat to cycle through
the six different display modes.
Scrolling text:
The default mode, displays scrolling text messages which
accompany the audio, where available.
Program Type:

Displays the mode of the current service Stereo or Mono
and the data rate at which the audio signal is being
transmitted. This rate is set by the broadcaster to suit
the type and quality of material being transmitted.
Signal Quality:
Display the signal quality for the signal to which you are
tuned. As a guide values from 80 to 100 indicate good
reception, 60 to 80 borderline reception and 60 or more
poor reception. You can attempt to improve this quality
by adjusting your aerial position using the Manual Tune
option described.
Storing and recalling presets
The numbered buttons (1-6) enable you to store radio
stations for one- touch access.
To store a station
You can store a station to a preset while listening it or
when you see the station name on the bottom line of the
display while scrolling through the station list.
Press and hold down a numbered button for around two
seconds to store the station under that number. The
display shows e.g. ‘Preset 1 saved’ when the station has
been successfully saved. Once you save a station to a
preset, the station name has the preset number next to it
on the station list.
Multiplex name:
Displays the name of the multiplex in which the current
service is found, see Guide to Digital Radio for more
information on multiplexes.
Date and time:
Displays the date and time obtained from the current
multiplex.
Channel:
Displays the channel identifier and frequency for the
station to which you are tuned, see Guide Digital Radio

DRC Value
DRC (Dynamic Range Control) enables you to alter the
dynamic range of the received audio (dependent on
broadcast material) by making the quieter sounds in a
broadcast more audible. This may be useful in noisy
environments or particularly quiet parts of programmes.
The DRC level of a broadcast is set by a broadcaster and
transmitted with the service. Changing this DRC value
enables you to apply a scaling factor to this level.
- 11 -
When you select this option you see the current DRC
value on the top line of the display and a scroll list on the
bottom. Press the SCROLL button to scroll through the
following options and press the select button to select
one:
DRC 0 DRC scaling is switched off.
DRC 1/2 DRC scaling is set to 1/2 that sent with the
transmitted service.
DRC 1 Applies the DRC scaling as sent with the
transmitted service. This is the default setting.
Resetting your DAB
A reset option is provided to enable you to reset your
unit. This removes all presets, stored stations and
