GETTING STARTED

When Radio is ﬁ rst powered up it will enter DAB mode and

automatically scans for stations. It will then set the time and start

playing the ﬁ rst station it ﬁ nds.
If there is no time signal available, the Time setting function is

available from the System menu.

DAB RADIO MODE

DAB radio mode receives DAB/DAB+ digital radio and displays

information about the station and programme/track as broadcast.

Scanning for stations (MENU -> Full scan)

You may also need to start a scan manually to update the list of

stations for one of the following reasons:
• New stations may become available from time to time.
• Stations close or can no longer be received (In the station list,

invalid stations are indicated with a question mark in front of their

name).

• 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 causing the audio to

break up, you may wish to list only stations with good signal

strength.

Prune (MENU -> Prune)

This removes all invalid stations, indicated in the station list with a

‘?’ in front of the station name.

Select Stations (< >)

You can select scanned stations.

Now playing screen

is displayed

with the new station details.

Presets (PRESET)

The radio has 5 preset memories for DAB.
To store a station in a preset memory:

Press and hold

PRESET

until the display shows

Preset Store

Presets (1-5) are displayed as either

Empty

or with the currently

stored station name. Use the < > button to choose a preset

memory then press to store the currently-playing station.
After conﬁ rming the preset station is stored the display reverts to

the

Now playing screen

To recall a preset station:

Press

PRESET

brieﬂ y, (the display will show

Preset Recall

). Select

one of the listed preset stations using the < > button and press

ENTER

to choose the displayed preset station.

Manual tune (MENU > Manual Tune)

As well as the normal method of scanning, you can also manually

tune to a particular channel/frequency. This can be useful for

adjusting your antenna to achieve the best possible reception and

scanning a particular channel to update the station list.
The display shows a live indication of the received signal strength

on the selected frequency. Adjustments to your antenna will be

manifested in the received signal strength displayed.

Note:

The slightly larger rectangle indicates the audio quality

threshold – if the signal strength, as indicated by the solid

rectangles, falls below this threshold the audio quality will

deteriorate.
At the same time the radio scans for any DAB stations on the

selected frequency and updates the station list with any new

stations found. To listen to any stations found, return to the

Now

playing screen

and select the required station from the station list

as normal.

Now playing information

While a station is playing, the screen shows its name and DLS

(Dynamic Label Segment) information broadcast by the station

such as programme name, track title and contact details. Long

DLS info, over 16 characters scrolls across the display.

DRC - Dynamic range compression (MENU > DRC)

This function reduces the difference between the loudest and

quietest audio being broadcast. Effectively, this makes quiet

sounds comparatively louder, and loud sounds comparatively

quieter.

Note:

DRC only works if it is enabled by the broadcaster for a

speciﬁ c station.

FM RADIO MODE

FM radio mode receives analogue radio from the FM band and

displays RDS (Radio Data System) information about the station

and show (where broadcast).

Scanning for stations (MENU -> Scan Setting)

A scan stops when a signal is found. The radio can be set to stop

at each station or only at stations with a strong signal.

Select Stations (< >)

The ﬁ rst time you select FM radio, the radio is set to the lowest

frequency in the FM band.
You can select scanned stations.

Now playing screen

is displayed

with the new station details.

Presets (PRESET)

The radio has 5 preset memories for FM, which work in the same

way as DAB mode presets, as described earlier in section.

Now playing information

While FM radio is playing, the screen shows its frequency, or if

RDS information is available, station name and any further

‘RadioText’ information. If no information is available, just the

frequency and a

No RadioText

message is shown.

Scan settings (MENU -> Scan Settings)

By default, FM scans stop at any available station (All stations).

This may result in poor quality audio from weak stations. For better

quality choose the setting

Strong stations only.

Audio settings (MENU -> Audio Settings)

By default, all stereo stations are reproduced in stereo. For weak

stations, this may result in poor quality audio. The audio quality

can be improved using mono.

AUX IN MODE

Aux In

mode plays audio from an external source such as an MP3

player.

Now playing information

When in

Aux In

mode, the screen shows Auxiliary Input and the

power status.
