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 scrolling 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.

• Signal Strength -

An empty will appear on the display to indicate the minimum

signal strength for acceptable listening. The row of solid rectangles indicates the actual
signal strength that you are receiving. The stronger the signal, the further to the right
the row of solid rectangles will be.

• 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 -

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

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.
