DAB & FM DISPLAY MODES
DAB DISPLAY MODES
When playing a DAB station you can change the information
on the display by changing the display mode.
To change the display mode:
Press the
INFO
button repeatedly to cycle through the
options listed in the chart below.
DLS (SCROLLING TEXT): 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 bragraph, the stronger the signal.
Setting the display to show signal strength is useful when
setting up the aerial for the strongest signal.

MULTIPLEX NAME (GROUP NAME): is the name of the DAB
Multiplex that is currently tuned.
TIME & DATE: Shows the current time and date. Time and date
are updated by broadcasted information.
MULTIPLEX NUMBER/FREQ: The Multiplex number and
Frequency display shows the multiplex channel number and
the multiplex frequency for the station currently tuned.
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.

information. When RDS data is present on an FM transmission,
‘RDS’ scrolling text will be displayed with the station name.
