Tune to a DAB preset station
1. Short press the Preset button. Preset Recall <1:> is displayed
together with the name or frequency of the station stored there, or
(Empty) if no previous station has been stored.
2. Use the Backward or Forward button to move to the Preset location
and station that you would like to listen to (1-20).
3. Press the Select button. The radio will instantly tune to that station
and begin to play.
Dynamic range control (DRC)
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 keep-
ing the loudest sounds at their original level.
