Troubleshooting

 

Dynamic range control (DRC)

In DAB mode: 

The dynamic range for each radio programme is set by the broadcaster for each radio 
station and may be different for the types of programme broadcast, such as pop or 
classical music or a chat show.  The dynamic range control signal is transmitted in parallel 
with the audio signal for each programme and with your radio you can use this control 
signal to expand or compress the dynamic range (the difference between the loudest and 
quietest sounds) of the reproduced audio signal.  Changing the dynamic range can affect 
the ‘loudness’ and/or ‘quality of sound’ of the programme that you hear so that it will be 
more suited to your listening conditions and your own personal listening requirements.  
e.g. in a noisy environment, where quiet sounds might be swamped, setting the 
compression to   maximum will ‘boost’ the quiet sounds, whilst keeping the loudest 
sounds at their original level.

There are 3 levels of compression: 

•  DRC off: 

no compression.  This is the default setting. 

•  DRC low: 

medium compression.

•  DRC high: 

maximum compression.

1. 

Press and hold the Menu/Select button to enter the menu.  ‘<Switch To FM>’ is 
displayed. 

2. 

Press and release the Tune – or Tune + buttons to scroll to ‘<DRC>’. Press and release 
the Menu/Select button.  The current DRC setting will have an ‘*’ next to it. 

3. 

Press and release the Tune – or Tune + buttons to scroll through the options and press 
the Menu/Select button to confirm.

Using the FM radio

Check that your Radio is in FM radio mode.  When your radio is in FM mode it can receive 
Radio Data System or ‘RDS’ information if this is being transmitted by the broadcaster.  
RDS information will often include the station name, detail about the programme and the 
current time.
