If you are listening to music with a high dynamic range in a noisy environment,
you may wish to compress the audio dynamic range. This makes quiet sounds
louder, and loud sounds quieter. You can change DRC as off, low or high.
Station order
You can choose the order of the DAB station list to be either Alphanumeric,
Ensemble or Valid.
Ensemble lists groups of stations that are broadcast together on the same
ensemble. Valid lists valid stations first, alphanumerically, then off-air
stations.
FM Radio
FM radio mode receives analogue radio from the FM band and displays RDS
(Radio Data System) information about the station and where broadcast.
To find a station, press OK. The frequency display starts to run up as the device
scans the FM band. Alternatively, you can tune manually by turning the
NAVIGATE knob.
Now playing information
While the stream is playing, the screen shows its frequency, or if RDS information
is available, station name and any further RDS information such as programme
name, track title and contact details. If no information is available, just the
frequency is shown. Stereo broadcasts are indicated with an icon at the top of the
screen, To view further information about the broadcast, press INFO .
Each time you press INFO, another set of information is displayed, cycling through
RDS text, further RDS text (station/programme type), frequency and today’s date.
