Scanning for stations

The ﬁrst time you use Octave, or if the station list is empty, the radio

automatically performs a full scan to see what stations are available. You may also need to start a scan manually to update the list of stations for one of the following reasons:

- New stations may become available from time to time.

- If reception was not good for the original scan (for example the antenna was not up), this may result in an empty or incomplete list of available stations.

To do a full scan

Select Menu > Scan. Once a scan is complete, the radio returns to playing

the previously-selected station or ﬁrst station on the station list.

To remove stations that are listed but unavailable Select Menu > Prune invalid.

The display will shows a list of the preset stores numbered 1 to 20 these are displayed as either ‘Empty’ or with the currently stored station name. Use the navigation dial to choose a preset memory then press ‘select’ to store the currently-playing station. After

Instruction Manual Octave internet radio

Manual tune cont.

Adjustments to your antenna will be manifested in the received signal

strength displayed. Note: The division in the signal strength bar indicates the audio quality threshold – if the signal strength, as indicated by the solid rectangles, falls below this threshold the audio quality will deteriorate.

When a channel/frequency is selected Octave also scans for any DAB stations on the selected frequency and updates the station list with any new stations found. To listen to any stations found, return to the Now playing screen and select the required station from the station list as normal.

Prune invalid

If a station is not available in your current location a ‘?’ will appear before the name of the station as shown in the ‘station list’.

Prune invalid will remove these stations leaving only ones that are available at your current location. Press Menu > Prune Invalid > YES

Dynamic range compression (DRC)

This function reduces the difference between the loudest and quietest audio being broadcast. Effectively, this makes quiet sounds comparatively louder, and loud sounds comparatively quieter.

station.
