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.

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.
•
Signal error
- This is displayed as a number between 0-99. It would not be possible to
satisfactorily listen to a ratio station with a signal error rate of 30 or above. Try adjusting
the aerial or relocating your HiFi to improve reception.
•

Dynamic range control (DRC)
In DAB mode:
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 HiFi 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 keeping the loudest sounds at their original
level.
