Troubleshooting

 

Tune to a DAB station preset

In DAB mode: 

1. 

Press and release the Preset button. ‘Preset Recall’ is displayed together with the 
number of the current preset location.

2. 

Use the rotary tuning wheel to move to the Preset location and station that you would 
like to listen to (1-10).

3. 

Press and release the Select button.  The Boombox will instantly tune to that station 
and begin to play. 

Note:

 If no DAB station has been stored under the preset button, ‘Preset Empty’ will be 

displayed, then the Boombox will revert to the previously selected radio station after a 
few seconds.

DAB display information

When listening to a DAB station you can change the information that will appear on the 
display.  There are several different types of information that are sent by the broadcaster.

•  Dynamic Label Segment (DLS)

This is scrolling text information supplied by the broadcaster.  Information could be the 
name of an artist or music title, DJ’s name, contact details for the radio station etc. 

•  Program Type (PTY)

Such as ‘Rock’, ‘Pop‘, Talk’ or ‘News’

•  Multiplex Name

Displays the broadcasting area and collection of radio stations on this frequency e.g.: 
BBC National DAB, Digital 1 Network. 

•  Time and date

Supplied by the broadcaster.

•  Channel and Frequency

e.g.: 12B 225.648 MHz

•  Signal error 

This is displayed as a number between 0-99.  It would not be possible to satisfactorily 
listen to a radio station with a signal error rate of 30 or above.  Try adjusting the aerial 
or relocating your Boombox to improve reception.  

•  Signal information

The data rate at which the signal is being transmitted. 

•  Signal Strength

A row of solid rectangles will be displayed to indicate the actual signal strength that 
you are receiving.  An empty   within the row of solid rectangles will indicate the 
minimum signal strength for acceptable listening.  The stronger the signal, the further 
to the right the row of solid rectangles will be. 

1. 

Repeatedly press and release the Menu/Info button to cycle through the different 
information options. 

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.
