mode, short press the Mode button until you are in DAB mode (check
the display).

Scanning for DAB stations
With DAB radio additional stations and services regularly become
avail- able, 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 Radio. If you have moved your Radio
to another location, e.g. if you go on holiday, then it’s also a good idea
to carry out a manual scan.
Chesterton_DAB_user_Manual EU - OCT v1.indd 18 23/11/2018 08:11

the scan and the number of stations found during the scan will also be
displayed.

received in your area. These are listed with a ‘?’ prex.

Select button.

button to scroll to Yes. press the Select button and prune the station
list. Stations with a ‘?’ prex will now no longer be displayed.

Tune to a DAB preset station
1. Short press the Preset button. Preset Recall <1:> is displayed
together with the name or frequency of the station stored there, or
(Empty) if no previous station has been stored.

and station that you would like to listen to (1-20).
3. Press the Select button. The radio will instantly tune to that station
and begin to play.
Dynamic range control (DRC)
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 keep-
ing the loudest sounds at their original level.
