Dynamic Range Compression
Some DAB broadcasts offer dynamic range compression (DRC). This feature allows radios to compress
the dynamic range of the output audio stream, so that the volume of quiet sounds is increased, and the
volume of loud sounds is reduced. This can be useful if you are listening to music with a high dynamic
range in a noisy environment (for example, classical music while cooking).
To change the DRC of the unit, select Menu
> DRC
, and then
DRC high
,
DRC low
or
DRC off
.
Note:
The unit DRC setting does have any effect if DRC data is not included in the broadcast.
Station Order
You can choose the order of the DAB station list to be Alphanumeric, Ensemble or Valid. Ensemble
lists
groups of stations that are broadcast together on the same ensemble, for example BBC
or South Wales
local. Valid
lists valid stations first, alphanumerically, then off-air stations.
To change station order, select Menu >
Station order >
then
Alphanumeric
,
Ensemble
or
Valid
.
