Poor quality radio reception
The aerial signal may not be adequate. Try adjusting the
aerial position while watching the signal strength on the
bargraph. Signal strength can be displayed by tuning to a
DAB station and pressing the Info/Menu button until the
signal strength bargraph is displayed.
Few DAB stations are available after moving area
The radio should be reset to renew the station list. Refer to
the ‘Factory Reset’ section on page 7.
Poor quality FM reception
If you are listening to a station with a weak signal, try
changing the Audio Setting to ‘Forced Mono’.
DAB DISPLAY MODES
The bottom line of the display can be switched to show
dierent items of information that may be transmitted with
a DAB station.
Choosing the information display
Press the Info/Menu button repeatedly to change the
information displayed while playing a DAB radio station.
The full range of display options are shown below. Some
stations may not broadcast all of these options.
DLS (Dynamic Label Segment): This is a scrolling message
giving real-time information - song titles, news headlines,
etc.
SIGNAL STRENGTH: This setting will display a signal strength
bargraph. The longer the bargraph, the stronger the signal.
Setting the display to show signal strength is useful when
setting up the aerial for the strongest signal.
PROGRAMME TYPE: This describes the style of the
programme being broadcast.
MULTIPLEX NAME: DAB Digital radio stations are broadcast
in multiplexes. Each multiplex is a bundle of radio stations
transmitted in a single frequency. There are national and
local multiplexes; local ones contain stations specic to your
area. This option displays the name of the multiplex name
that contains the station you are listening to.
MULTIPLEX NUMBER/FREQ: This option will display the
multiplex number and frequency that contains the station
you are listening to.
SIGNAL ERROR RATE: This option will display the level of
signal errors in the current broadcast. The lower the number,
the better the quality of the signal.
BIT RATE: DAB allows broadcasters to vary the BIT RATE (or
the amount by which an audio signal can be compressed)
depending on the type of broadcast. This enables the amount
of stations on a multiplex to be maximised. Speech and News
are often broadcast at a lower Bit Rate; music needs a higher
Bit Rate for good delity.
TIME AND DATE: Time and date are updated by broadcasted
information.
When rst used, your radio scanned the DAB band for
available stations. The station services found were then
stored in your radio’s memory.
You can re-scan the band at any time if you move to a dierent
area or just to refresh the stored list of available stations.
NOTE: On some occasions, when moving to a dierent area,
re-scanning may not fully update the station list. In this case
it may be necessary to reset your radio. (see the ‘Factory reset’
option on page 7).

MORE DETAIL OF THE FM SETTINGS MENU OPTIONS
Scan Setting: With this menu option you can set the
scanning sensitivity of the FM radio to two dierent levels-
