Using your Stereo DAB/FM

Radio

Let’s get started

Telescopic aerial

Please make sure that the aerial is fully extended before you attempt to tune to a DAB station (a vertical position is recommended). This will ensure that the maximum signal strength is available when the radio begins to scan. Extending the aerial also ensures the best possible sound quality.

DAB Radio mode

• Check that your Radio is in DAB mode. If you are not already in DAB mode, press and release the DAB/FM button until you are in DAB mode (check the display).

• The first time you use the Radio or if the station list is empty, your radio will automatically begin to scan for DAB radio stations. A progress bar will show the progress of the scan and the number of stations found during the scan will also be displayed.

• If you were listening to a DAB station when you switched the radio off, then this station will automatically be selected when you switch the radio back on.

Changing DAB stations

1. Turn the Tune/Select control to scroll through the available stations.

2. When the station that you would like to listen to is displayed, press the Tune/Select control to select it. There will be a short delay whilst your radio tunes to your selected station.

Scanning for DAB stations

With DAB radio additional stations and services regularly become available, so it’s a good idea to carry out a manual scan every now and then to make sure that you have the most up to date station listing stored within the memory of your Radio. If you have moved your

Radio to another location, e.g.: if you go on holiday, then it’s also a good idea to carry out a manual scan.

22




Let’s get started

In DAB mode:

1. Press and release the Scan button to begin a search for stations. The display will change to ‘Scanning...’. A progress bar will show the progress of the scan and the number of stations found during the scan will also be displayed.

Prune DAB stations

You can remove the DAB stations in the station list that cannot be received in your area.

These are listed with a ‘?’ prefix.

In DAB mode:


2. Use the Tune/Select control to scroll to <Prune>. Press to Select..

3. Prune? <No> Yes is displayed. Use the Tune/Select control to scroll to Yes. Press to Select and prune the station list. Stations with a ‘?’ prefix will now no longer be displayed.

Storing a DAB station preset

Your Radio can store up to 10 DAB radio stations in its preset memories for instant access to your favourite stations.

Note: When you store DAB radio station presets, these do not overwrite your FM station presets.

1. Tune the Radio to the DAB radio station that you wish to preset.

2. Press and hold the Preset button for approximately 2 seconds until Preset Store

<1:(Empty)> is displayed.

3. Use the Tune/Select control to move to the preset location that you would like to store the radio station to (1-10).

Note: When you store a radio station to Preset location 1 or 2, this will also be saved under the number ‘1’ and ‘2’ buttons on the front of your radio. section of these instructions, or online at www.argos-support.co.uk If you still require further assistance, call one of our experts on 0345 600 3021.

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.

24




Let’s get started

• 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.

• Signal Strength - An empty will appear on the display to indicate the minimum signal strength for acceptable listening. The row of solid rectangles indicates the actual signal strength that you are receiving. The stronger the signal, the further to the right the row of solid rectangles will be.

• 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.

• 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 ratio station with a signal error rate of 30 or above. Try adjusting the aerial or relocating your radio to improve reception.

• Signal information - The data rate at which the signal is being transmitted.

• Time and date - supplied by the broadcaster.

1. Repeatedly press and release the 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. section of these instructions, or online at www.argos-support.co.uk If you still require further assistance, call one of our experts on 0345 600 3021.



Let’s get started

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.

There are 3 levels of compression:

• DRC off - no compression. This is the default setting.

• DRC low - medium compression.

• DRC high - maximum compression.


2. Use the Tune/Select control to scroll to <DRC>. Press to Select.

Note: The current DRC setting will have an ‘*’ in the display.

3. Use the Tune/Select control to scroll through the options and press to Select.

FM Radio mode

• If you are not already in FM mode, press and release the DAB/FM button to go to FM mode (check the display).

• If you were listening to an FM station when you switched the Radio off then this station will be automatically selected when you switch the Radio back on.

Telescopic aerial

Please make sure that the aerial is fully extended before you attempt to tune to a FM station (a vertical position is recommended). This will ensure that the maximum signal strength is available when the radio begins to scan. Extending the aerial also ensures the best possible sound quality.

All stations: The scan will stop for every station it receives, even if the signal strength is poor.

2. Use the Tune/Select control to choose from the two options available and press to

Troubleshooting

No sound / power:

• Adjust the volume.

• Check that the mains power wall socket is switched on and that your radio is not in

Standby mode.

• If you have batteries fitted, they may be exhausted and need to be replaced. Please use only good quality C size batteries.

Radio reception is poor:

• Make sure that you have fully extended the telescopic aerial.

• Rescan for radio stations, see pages 22 and 27.

• Try moving your radio to another location to see if reception improves.

• Check that you do not have other electrical equipment too close to your Radio, causing interference.

• Visit www.digitalradionow.com for information about DAB reception in your area.
