• With DAB+ reception, there can be a very big difference in
reception level between one location and "a few meters
away". In case of a local weak DAB+ signal, move the radio to
find a stronger signal.
• If you take the radio to another location, perform a full scan
again. This will show you which DAB+ stations can be received
there.
Dynamic range control (DRC)
In DAB mode:
The dynamic range for each radio program is set by the broadcaster
for each radio station and may be different for the types of program
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 program 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 program that you hear so that it will be more suited to your
listening conditions and your own personal listening requirements.
e.g. in a noisy environment, where quiet sounds might be swamped,
setting the compression to maximum will ‘boost’ the quiet sounds,
whilst keeping the loudest sounds at their original level.
There are 3 levels of compression:
•
DRC off - no compression. This is the default setting.
•
DRC low - medium compression.
•
DRC high - maximum compression.
1. Press and hold the Menu/Info button to enter the menu options.

to confirm. The current DRC setting will be highlighted.
3. Press and release the Next button to scroll through the options
