DAB SCANNING  
DAB DISPLAY MODES  
RE-SCANNING FOR DAB STATIONS  
DISPLAY MODE 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 specific 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.  
When first used, your radio scanned the DAB band for  
available stations. The station services found were then  
stored in your system’s memory.  
You can re-scan the band at any time if you move to a different  
area or just to refresh the stored list of available stations.  
To scan for DAB stations manually:  
The bottom line of the display can be switched to show  
different items of information that may be transmitted with  
a DAB station.  
Choosing the information display:  
Press the {/INFO button on the top panel or remote control  
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.  
Select the DAB band.  
Press the /,/SCAN button on the top panel or remote  
control.  
The scanning process will take a few minutes. The number of  
services found during the scan will be shown at the right side  
of the display.  
After the scan, the radio will display the name of the first  
station in the sequence. To select this station, press the  
SELECT/ENTER button or continue to browse for another  
station as described on the previous page.  
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 fidelity.  
DISPLAY DIMMER  
The display brightness can be switched between high and  
low settings by pressing the SNOOZE/DIMMER button on  
the top panel or remote control.  
TIME AND DATE:Time and date are updated by broadcasted  
information.
