Troubleshooting

Tune to a DAB station preset

In DAB mode:

1. Press and release the Preset button. ‘Preset Recall’ is displayed together with the

number of the current preset location.

2. Use the rotary tuning wheel to move to the Preset location and station that you would

like to listen to (1-10).

3. Press and release the Select button. The Boombox will instantly tune to that station

and begin to play.

Note: If no DAB station has been stored under the preset button, ‘Preset Empty’ will be

displayed, then the Boombox will revert to the previously selected radio station after a

few seconds.

DAB display information

When listening to a DAB station you can change the information that will appear on the

display. There are several different types of information that are sent by the broadcaster.

• Dynamic Label Segment (DLS)

This is scrolling text information supplied by the broadcaster. Information could be the

name of an artist or music title, DJ’s name, contact details for the radio station etc.

• Program Type (PTY)

Such as ‘Rock’, ‘Pop‘, Talk’ or ‘News’

• Multiplex Name

Displays the broadcasting area and collection of radio stations on this frequency e.g.:

BBC National DAB, Digital 1 Network.

• Time and date

Supplied by the broadcaster.

• Channel and Frequency

e.g.: 12B 225.648 MHz

• Signal error

This is displayed as a number between 0-99. It would not be possible to satisfactorily

listen to a radio station with a signal error rate of 30 or above. Try adjusting the aerial

or relocating your Boombox to improve reception.

• Signal information

The data rate at which the signal is being transmitted.

• Signal Strength

A row of solid rectangles will be displayed to indicate the actual signal strength that

you are receiving. An empty within the row of solid rectangles will indicate the

minimum signal strength for acceptable listening. The stronger the signal, the further

to the right the row of solid rectangles will be.

1. Repeatedly press and release the Menu/Info button to cycle through the different

information options.

Dynamic range control (DRC)

In DAB mode:

The dynamic range for each radio programme is set by the broadcaster for each radio

station and may be different for the types of programme 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 programme 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 programme 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.
