Change Station (DAB)

To enter DAB radio mode, short press the MODE button until the display shows DAB Scanning for stations. The first time you use the radio, or if the station list is empty, the radio 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:

New stations may become available from time to time. 8
Stations close or can no longer be received (In the station list, invalid stations are indicated with a question mark in front of their name).
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.
If you have poor reception of some stations causing the audio to break up, you may wish to list only stations with good signal strength.

To do a full scan Select Menu > Full scan. Once a scan is complete, the radio returns to playing the previously-selected station or first station on the station list.

Now playing information
While a station is playing, the screen shows its name and DLS (Dynamic Label Segment) information transmitted by the radio station such as program name, track title and contact details. Long DLS info, over 16 characters will scroll across the display. When you short press MENU each time, the next set of information is displayed, cycling through:

DLS text (default), signal strength, ensemble name, channel number/region, channel number/frequency, signal error rate, bit rate/DAB variant, codec/DAB variant, time and date.

Change Station (FM)

Dynamic range compression (DRC)
This function reduces the difference between the loudest and quietest audio being broadcast. Effectively, this makes quiet sounds comparatively louder, and loud sounds comparatively quieter. Note: DRC only works if it is enabled by the broadcaster for a specific station.
To change the DRC setting Select Menu > DRC > The options available are: DRC off | low | high.

Prune
The prune option can be selected by “YES/NO” to remove any invalid or not playable radio stations from the found radio station list. This way you will only have a list of playable DAB radio stations.
