may be useful if the signal is weak and the broadcast is
noisy when listening in stereo via headphones.

of information that may be transmitted with a DAB

station.

PROGRAMME TYPE: This describes the style of the

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 specic 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 STRENGTH AND 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. A signal strength bargraph is also displayed. 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.
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.
POWER SOURCE: This option will display the current
power source - Mains Power or Battery.
DATE: The date and day 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 dierent area or just to refresh the stored list of
available stations.
NOTE: On some occasions, when moving to a dierent
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).
