DAB RADIO
10. DAB radio
This radio receives all common digital radio frequencies in the range of 174 MHz to 240 MHz (band III,
channels 5A to 13F). The automatic DAB station search starts automatically when DAB mode is started
for the first time. As soon as this has been completed, the current station list is displayed.
By calling up the corresponding DAB settings menu, you can access the following settings options and
functions.
10.1 Station list
The station list offers a complete display of all radio stations that were found during the last complete
search.
Navigate to the desired station you want to call up and confirm this selection. The radio will now start
playing the corresponding station.
10.2 full scan
If the location of the radio changes or if new stations can be received, it is advisable to perform the
station search again. The entire frequency range is searched again and the station list is updated.
10.3 Delete inactive stations
Select
"Delete inactive stations"
to remove stations from the station list that are currently no longer
available.
10.4 DRc - Dynamic Range control
Some DAB network radio stations support a volume control feature that actively takes effect during
playback. If the volume suddenly increases, DRC automatically lowers it. If the volume suddenly becomes
quieter, DRC automatically raises it. The same happens when playback is suddenly quiet. The radio then
increases the volume again.
DRc high
Total equalisation of different volumes. Strong compression, can audibly reduce the
dynamics of a piece of music
DRc low
Partial equalisation of different volumes. More subtle compression, without too
much loss of dynamics
DRc off
No equalisation
10.5 Station sequence
By default the radio sorts stations into alphabetical order. You can also sort by signal strength or
ensemble. If sorting by ensemble is selected, the stations are sorted according to the corresponding
frequency block on which the respective ensemble is broadcast. These are often frequency blocks which
are broadcast locally, regionally or nationally.
