A Settings menu can be found in DAB mode, as well as in FM

the general SYSTEM menu.
DAB Menu
The DAB menu is divided into menus: Full scan, Manual tune,
DRC and Prune.
•
Full scan: Starts the station scan. The DAB frequency
band is scanned for stations.
• Manual tune: To do so you need to know the station
frequency. This can be found on the internet site of the
broadcasting service. Select individual frequencies using
the / buttons (3).
• DRC: short for D igital R ange C ontrol (dynamic range).
The term DRC describes the ratio between the quietest
and the loudest sound. If the dynamic range is very high
there are very soft sounds as well as very loud sounds.
Under some circumstances this may present a problem
with playback. Let us assume that you are listening to a
radio station in a relatively loud environment. By increas-
ing the volume you can play the quiet sections louder.
This however has the disadvantage that the loud sections
become uncomfortably loud. It makes sense here to
reduce the dynamic range. Select between the options:
-
DRC off: The dynamic range is not reduced.
- DRC high: The dynamic range is sharply reduced.
- DRC low: The dynamic range is slightly reduced.
• Prune: It may be that you can no longer receive some
stations after a station scan or change of location. With
this function you can delete these stations from the
reception list. Select “YES” and confirm with the REPEAT
ALARM/SELECT button.
FM Menu
• Scan setting: Select the desired option in order to per-
form an automatic station scan.
-
Strong stations only: Only search for strong radio
stations.
- All stations: Search for all receivable radio stations. In
doing so, the scan also pauses on weak stations.
• Audio setting:
- Forced mono: Every radio station is played back in
mono irrespective of the transmitted signal.
