Press the Tune/Select control to Select.  The display will confirm Preset X stored, 
where ‘X’ is the number of the preset (1-10). 

Note:

 If there is already an existing DAB station stored under a preset, it will be over 

written when you store the new station.

Tune to a DAB preset station

In DAB mode: 

Note: 

To quickly access the radio stations stored under Preset locations 1 or 2, you can 

just press and release the ‘1’ or ‘2’ button, as appropriate, on the front of your radio. 

1. 

Press and release the Preset button. Preset Recall <1:> is displayed together with the 
name or frequency of the station stored there, or (Empty) if no previous station has 
been stored.

2. 

Use the Tune/Select control to move to the Preset location and station that you would 
like to listen to (1-10).  

3. 

Press the Tune/Select control to Select. The radio 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 radio will revert to the previously selected radio station.

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. 

•  Signal Strength -

 An empty   will appear on the display to indicate the minimum 

signal strength for acceptable listening. The row of solid rectangles indicates the actual 
signal strength that you are receiving.  The stronger the signal, the further to the right 
the row of solid rectangles will be. 

•  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.

•  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 ratio station with a signal error rate of 30 or above.  Try 
adjusting the aerial or relocating your radio to improve reception. 

•  Signal information -

 The data rate at which the signal is being transmitted.

•  Time and date -

 supplied by the broadcaster.

1. 

Repeatedly press and release the 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.
