as shown in the lower display line of the VFD.  

 DAB         P--

 $CBC R2       %

2  Press [ENTER] to select the desired station.  

DAB TUNER MODE

Aside from “Full Scan” and “Local Scan” as already described above, pressing 

the [TUNER MODE] button will also present you with other options namely 

- Station Order, DRC, Manual Scan, Prune List and Reset.

STATION ORDER

Use “Station Order” to sort the sequence of the listed stations. There are 

three orders - Alphanumeric, Ensemble and Active.

1  While listening to a DAB broadcast, press [TUNER MODE] button and  

[ A/S ] to select “Station Order”. Press [ENTER].

2  Toggle [ A/S ] to select through “Alphanumeric”, “Ensemble” and “Active”.

3  Press [ENTER] to select desired station order.

ALPHANUMERIC 

This is the default setting. Stations are arranged by numbers first and then 

alphabetically by letters.

ENSEMBLE

Digital radio is broadcast as groups of data called ensemble. Each ensemble 

contains a number of stations, transmitted at a set frequency. When 

“Ensemble” is selected as the mode of station order, the radio broadcasts are 

arranged in the order of their ensemble names.

NOTE

Ensemble is also interchangeably termed as “multiplex” by other 

broadcast providers.

ACTIVE

Active stations are listed at the top of the channel list.  Those channels 

that are in list but have no service in the area will be displayed last in the 

channel list.

DRC

The level of compression of stations can be set to eliminate the differences 

in dynamic range or sound level between radio stations. Popular music 

would normally be more compressed than classical music, resulting in 

possible different audio levels when changing from one station to the 

other. Setting the DRC to “0” means no compression, “1/2” indicates medium 

compression and “1” shows maximum compression. No compression is 

recommended, especially for classical music.

1  While listening to a DAB broadcast, press [TUNER MODE] button and  

[ A/S ] to select “DRC”. Press [ENTER].

2  Toggle [ A/S ] to select through “DRC 0”, “DRC 1/2” and “DRC 1”.

3  Press [ENTER] to select desired DRC level.

MANUAL SCAN

This option allows you to directly tune to a desired channel and include it 

in the service list (if not yet available at the time). You can also use manual 

scan to assist you in positioning the DAB antenna for best reception of the 

desired channel.

1  While listening to a DAB broadcast, press [TUNER MODE] button and  

[ A/S ] to select “Manual Scan”. Press [ENTER]. The current channel and 

frequency are shown in the upper line of the VFD.  The “bars” at the 

lower line of the VFD indicate the signal strength level of the current 

channel.

2  To select other channels, toggle [ A/S ] to step through the channel list. 

Release [ A/S ] when you have arrived at your desired channel. Channel 

and frequency are shown in the upper line of the VFD.  The “bars” at the 

lower line of the VFD indicate the signal strength level of the current 

channel.  To improve the reception of the selected channel, adjust or 

reposition the DAB antenna until the best reception is indicated.

3  Press [ENTER] to tune the selected channel.
