2.3 Display
The screen shows various menus, dialogues and displays as
described below.
There are basically six types of screen:
• Standby (clock)
• Splash (mode)
• Now playing
• Dialogue
• Error/Information
• Menu
When text is too long to fit on the screen, it is first shown truncated,
then after a few seconds, slowly scrolls so that you can read it all.
The Standby screen shows the time, date and any active alarm
times.
As you cycle through the play modes using SOURCE, DR3 shows a
splash screen for each mode. After one second, DR3 enters the
selected mode and tries to start playing the last station or track that
was playing in that mode. If this is not possible, DR3 tries to connect
to the selected source by scanning for stations, or prompting for
user input as appropriate.
Now playing screens show information about the audio source and
track now playing, where available.
Dialogue screens are shown to allow the user to change settings.
Error/Information screens give specific messages for a few seconds,
then change automatically to another screen.
Menus
DR3 has basically three types of menu. Use the Select control to
step through and select options. A scroll bar on the right of the
screen shows if there are further options above or
below those visible.
Each mode has a Mode menu, with options specific to that mode.
Below for DAB mode menu as an example.
System settings >.The '>' indicates options leading to further menus.
The System settings menu allows access to system settings
and information such as time, language and software update.
Menus with more options than will fit on one screen have a ">"in the
right.
Some menus, for example the System settings menu, have several
submenus.
3. Started and setup
DR3 is easy to use. To play DAB or FM radio, all you need is a power
source (a 100-240 V mains supply);
1). Place DR3 on a suitable shelf or table.
2). Extend the telescopic antenna.
3). Connect the power adaptor between DR3 and the mains supply.
3.1 12/24 hour display
To change between 12 and 24 hour display, select Set 12/24 hour
and then select your preference.
3.2 Time/date
The time and date can be updated manually or automatically.
65

3.3 Auto-update
Auto-update works with data sent over DAB, FM. The clock is only
updated when in a corresponding mode, so it is best to select a
mode you use regularly.
3.4 Manual set
If you set No update, the wizard now prompts you to set the time and
date manually. The date is displayed as DD-MM-YYYY and MM-DD-
YYYY.
4 Operation
This section describes the operating functions available for each of
the four audio sources.
4.1 DAB radio mode
DAB radio mode receives DAB/DAB+ digital radio and displays
information about the station and programme /track as broadcast.
To enter DAB mode, either press Mode until the display shows DAB
Radio.
4.1.1 Scanning for stations
The first time you use DR3, 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.
If you have poor reception of some stations causing the audio to
break up, you may wish to list only stations with good signal strength.
To do a full scan Select Menu > Full 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.
4.1.2 Manual tune
As well as the normal method of scanning, you can also manually
tune to a particular channel / frequency. This can be useful for
adjusting your antenna to achieve the best possible reception and
scanning a particular channel to update the station list.
To manually tune
Press Menu > Manual tune then use select control button to display
a particular channel/frequency, press Select to tune to that
channel/frequency.
The display shows a live indication of the received signal strength
on the selected frequency.
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 DR3 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.

4.1.3Now playing information
While a station is playing, the screen shows its name and DLS
(Dynamic Label Segment) information broadcast by the station such
as programme name, track title and contact details.
Slideshow
The normal now playing screen shows a thumbnail of the currently
available slideshow image. (If no slideshow image is available a
default DAB thumbnail image is displayed). The Select button

ensemble name, channel number/frequency, signal strength, power
status and date.
4.1.4 Other settings
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.
Note: DRC only works if it is enabled by the broadcaster for a
specific station.
To change the DRC setting Select Menu > DRC > The options
available are: DRC high | low | off.
4.2 FM radio mode
FM radio mode receives analogue radio from the FM band and
displays RDS (Radio Data System) information about the station
and show (where broadcast).
To enter FM mode: Press Mode until the display shows FM Mode.

in the FM band. On subsequent selections the last used
frequency/station is displayed.
To scan for a station in FM mode
Press Select DR3 scans up through the FM band frequencies,
showing the current frequency on the screen display.
A scan stops when a signal is found. DR3 can be set to stop at each
station or only at stations with a strong signal.
Alternatively, you can tune, using the select control button to rotate
in 50 kHz steps.
4.2.2 Now playing information
While FM radio is playing, the screen shows its frequency, or if RDS
information is available, station name and any further
RadioText' information. If no information is available, just the
frequency and a No RadioText message is shown.
