DISPLAY MODE OPTIONS
The bottom line of the display can be switched to show
different items of information that may be transmitted with
a DAB station.
Choosing the information display:
Press the
{
/INFO
button on the remote control repeatedly
to change the information displayed while playing a DAB
radio station.
The full range of display options are shown below. Some
stations may not broadcast all of these options.
DLS (Dynamic Label Segment):
This is a scrolling message
giving real-time information - song titles, news headlines,
etc.
SIGNAL STRENGTH:
This setting will display a signal
strength bargraph. The longer the bargraph, the stronger the
signal. Setting the display to show signal strength is useful
when setting up the aerial for the strongest signal.
PROGRAMME TYPE:
This describes the style of the
programme being broadcast.
MULTIPLEX NAME:
DAB Digital radio stations are broadcast
in multiplexes. Each multiplex is a bundle of radio stations
transmitted in a single frequency. There are national and
local multiplexes; local ones contain stations specific to your
area. This option displays the name of the multiplex name
that contains the station you are listening to.
MULTIPLEX NUMBER/FREQ:
This option will display the
multiplex number and frequency that contains the station
you are listening to.
SIGNAL ERROR RATE:
This option will display the level of
signal errors in the current broadcast. The lower the number,
the better the quality of the signal.
BIT RATE:
DAB allows broadcasters to vary the BIT RATE (or
the amount by which an audio signal can be compressed)
depending on the type of broadcast. This enables the amount
of stations on a multiplex to be maximised. Speech and News
are often broadcast at a lower Bit Rate; music needs a higher
Bit Rate for good fidelity.
TIME AND DATE:
Time and date are updated by broadcasted
information.

DAB SCANNING
RE-SCANNING FOR DAB STATIONS
When first used, your radio scanned the DAB band for
available stations. The station services found were then
stored in your system’s memory.
You can re-scan the band at any time if you move to a different
area or just to refresh the stored list of available stations.
To scan for DAB stations manually:
Select the DAB band. •
Press the •
/,
/
SCAN
button on the front panel or remote
control.
The scanning process will take a few minutes. The number of
services found during the scan will be shown at the right side
of the display.
After the scan, the radio will re-tune to the last station
playing if it is available. If this station is not available, the
name of the first station in the sequence will be displayed.
To select this station, push the
VOLUME/SELECT
control or
press the
SELECT/ENTER
button on the remote control.
Alternatively, you can continue to browse for another station
