6.3 Now playing information 

While a track is playing, the screen shows its trackname (UPnP).  
There is also a progress bar with figures for elapsed and total track  
time. At the bottom of the screen, an icon indicates 

UPnP

.  

To view further information, press  Info . 

 
Each time you press  Info , another set of information is displayed,  
cycling through the following: 

 

Artist, album, codec/sampling rate, playback buffer 
 

7.  DAB radio mode 

DAB radio mode receives DAB/DAB+ digital radio and displays  
information about the station, stream and track playing. 

To enter DAB mode, either press  Mode  until the display shows:  

DAB Radio

 or select;  Menu  > 

Main menu >  DAB

 

7.1 Scanning for stations 

The first time you select DAB radio mode, or if the station list is  
empty, Radio3i 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: 

 

Available stations change 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 (burbling),  
you may wish to list only stations with good signal strength. 

To start a scan manually, select  Menu  > 

Scan

Once the scan is complete, the radio shows a list of available stations. 

To remove stations that are listed but unavailable, select  Menu  > 

Prune invalid

 

7.2 Selecting stations 

To listen to or change a station, turn the  Select  control to view a list of stations and press to select. Once 
selected, the station plays and the screen shows information about the station, track or show as broadcast. 
 

Presets 

To store a DAB preset, press and hold  Preset  until the display shows the 

Save preset

 screen. Select one 

of the 10 presets (on the remote) to save the currently playing station. 

To select a preset, press  Preset  briefly, then select one of the listed preset stations. When a preset 
station is playing, it shows P

n

 (P1, P2 etc) in the bottom right of the screen. 

 

7.3 Now playing information 

While the stream is playing, the screen shows its name and DLS (

Dynamic Label Segment

) information 

broadcast by the station giving real-time information such as programme name, track title and contact 
details. Stereo broadcasts are indicated with an icon at the top of the screen. To view further information, 
press  Info . 

Each time you press  Info , another set of information is displayed, cycling through DLS text, programme 
type, ensemble name/frequency, signal strength/error rate, bit rate/codec/channels and today’s date.
