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 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.
• 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 and Strength - the signal error 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. The signal strength is displayed as a
row of solid rectangles. Two black lines within the solid
rectangles indicate the minimum signal strength for
acceptable listening. The stronger the signal, the further
to the right the row of solid rectangles will be. Try

15
adjusting the aerial or relocating your radio to improve
reception.
• Signal information - the data rate at which the signal is being
transmitted.
• Time and date - supplied by the broadcaster.
1. Repeatedly press and release the Menu/Info button to cycle
through the different information options.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING DAB+ RECEPTION
DAB+ radio reception is different from FM radio reception.
•In FM, you can often still receive a weak station, but probably
with a rustling or crackling sound.
•DAB + reception works digitally and if there is not enough
signal you hear nothing. No hiss or crackle as with FM. This is
not due to the radio, but to the fact that there is not enough
DAB+ signal at that location.
•DAB + rule is: no or weak reception = no sound.
What can you do if you do not have direct DAB+ reception.
•Always point the antenna straight up vertically first.
•Do not place the radio too close to potential sources of
interference such as, battery chargers, rotating machinery,
computers, large metal surfaces, etc.
•Move the radio a few meters.
•Turn on the radio and activate a full scan in the DAB+ menu
•In the display of the radio you will see the progress of the scan
and the number of stations found in the current position of
the radio.
Important

16
•With DAB+ reception, there can be a very big difference in
reception level between one location and "a few meters
away". In case of a local weak DAB+ signal, move the radio to
find a stronger signal.
•If you take the radio to another location, perform a full scan
again. This will show you which DAB+ stations can be received
there.
Dynamic range control (DRC)
In DAB mode:
The dynamic range for each radio program is set by the broadcaster
for each radio station and may be different for the types of program
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 program 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 program 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.
There are 3 levels of compression:
• DRC off - no compression. This is the default setting.
• DRC low - medium compression.
• DRC high - maximum compression.
1. Press and hold the Menu/Info button to enter the menu options.
2. Press release the Next button to scroll to DRC. Press the Select knob
to confirm. The current DRC setting will be highlighted.
3. Press and release the Next button to scroll through the options
available and press the Select knob to confirm.
