DAB RADIO MODE
DAB radio mode receives DAB/DAB+
digital radio and displays information
about the station, stream and track
playing.
To
enter
DAB
radio
mode,
touch
the
DAB
icon on
the
main menu screen until the display
shows DAB Radio.
When entering DAB radio mode, the
last station listened to is automatically
selected.
Scanning for stations
The first time you select DAB radio
mode, or if the station list is empty,
The MD 801 automatically performs a
full scan to see what stations are
available. You may also need to start a
scan manually to update the list of
stations for one of the following
reasons:
o Available stations change from time
to time.
o If reception was not good for the
original scan (for example the antenna
was not up), this may result in an
empty or incomplete list of available
stations.
o If you have poor reception of some
stations (burbling), you may wish to list
only stations with good signal strength.
To start a scan manually, touch the
DAB menu bar > Scan.
To scan only stations with a good
signal strength, touch the DAB menu
bar > Manual tune.
Once the scan is complete, the radio
shows a list of available stations.
To remove stations that are listed but
unavailable, touch the DAB menu bar >
Prune invalid stations.
Selecting stations
To listen to or change a station, touch
the Select control to view a list of
stations and press to select. Once
selected, the station plays and the
screen shows information about the
station, track or show as broadcast.
Now playing information
While the stream is playing, the
screen shows its name and DLS
(Dynamic Label Segment) information
broadcast by the station giving real-
time information such as programme
name, track title and contact details.
Stereo broadcasts are indicated with
an icon at the top of the screen. To
view further information, touch the

A screen will appear displaying
information such as station ensemble,
frequency, error rate, signal strength,
codec, bit rate and sampling rate.
