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 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 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.
There are 3 levels of compression:
• DRC off - no compression. This is the default setting.
• DRC low - medium compression.
• DRC high - maximum compression.
1. Short press the Menu button (under the top cover), to enter
the menu options.
2. Use the rotary Tune/Select control to scroll to <DRC> and
press to select.
3. Use the rotary Tune/Select control to scroll through the
options and press to select.
