USING THE FUNCTION CONTROL

12

The function control allows the user to utilize some of the system options available within the SP110.

The function key operates a menu structure which has the following sections:

1) 

Station order

, allows the user to define how the stations are arranged when scrolling up or down the stations list using the function control knob.

2) 

Manual tune

, allows manual tuning if the autotune facility is unable to locate channels effectively, or if antenna adjustment is required..

3) 

DRC

, Dynamic Range Control allows the SP110 to add or remove a degree of compression to compensate for the wide differences in the dynamic ranges 

between radio stations, ie the vast difference in sound levels between Radio 1 and Radio 4

4) 

SW version

, allows a visual check of the software version installed on your SP110.

5) 

Signal error rate

, a numeric value which indicates the level of correction the SP110 is applying to a DAB signal to maintain audio quality.

To access these commands press the function key once to display the available choices, these will be shown on line 2 of the LCD display. Use the function 

control knob to scroll through the menu to select which function you require.

A summary of each is as follows;

1) 

Station order. 

When this mode is selected you are presented with 4 options which will affect the way the SP110 displays the station order list.

a) 

The first option is 

Favourite station

. This will use the internal memory of the SP110 to constantly monitor which stations you listen to, and will build a list of 

those you listen to the most. 

As you scroll though the station list you will see that a heart shape will appear at the end of line 1 of the display. This shows that this station appears in your list 

of favourites.

The SP110 will list your top 10 favourite stations at the start of the station order list so that it is not necessary to scroll through the entire list to find the stations 

which you listen to most often.

(Note) because the SP110 builds a favourite list from the station order list, it will remove that particular station from its normal position within the station order 

list, and place it at the top of the list. This means that it does not appear twice within the list.

Whilst in favourite station mode, it is possible to activate a sub menu called, ‘

Add fav to presets

’. This will allow the SP110 to rebuild your preset buttons with 

the top 4 of your most listened to stations. This will allow you to access your favourite stations instantly when you switch on the SP110, by pressing one of the 

preset keys.

To activate this function whilst in favourite mode, press the function key to activate the menu. Select ‘

station order’

 from this list and scroll through the station 

order menu, you will notice after the favourite station feature an additional choice is now available, 

‘add fav to preset’.

 Press the function control knob once to 

select this feature.

b)

 The second option is 

‘alphanumeric’. 

This is the default setting, and will arrange the service order list to be displayed numerically first, followed by 

alphabetically. From the station order menu, scroll through the sub menu options until ‘

alphanumeric

’ is displayed on line 2. Press the function control knob 

once to select this option.

c)

 The third option is an 

‘active station

’ list. This will allow the station order list to show the DAB stations in your area which can be received, at the top of the 

list, and those which appear on the list, but have no service in your area, to be at the end of the list. From the station order menu, scroll through the sub menu 

options until ‘

active station

’ is displayed on line 2. Press the function control knob once to activate this option.
