What’s on the ADJUST DAB AERIAL menu …
When an ‘ensemble’ has been found, this menu
can be used to optimise signal reception.
The bar at the top of the menu shows the
reception quality.
If no ensembles have been found, you can enter a
channel number by means of the number buttons,
change between letters by means of the arrow
buttons left and right, and then move the DAB
aerial until an ‘ensemble’ name appears in the
menu.
What’s on the DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL
menu …
For certain DAB programs, you can adjust audio
signal compression with the DRC (Dynamic Range
Control) function. Compression compensates for
sources of noise in your immediate surroundings.
There are twelve possible settings, with three
values to guide you:
OFF (no compression)
MIDDLE (recommended by the DAB provider)
MAX (maximum compression, twice that
recommended by the DAB provider).
DAB DRC menu settings have no effect for programs
not broadcast with DRC.

The ‘ADJUST DAB AERIAL’ menu helps you find
the best placement for your dab aerial.
Turn your DAB aerial to a position where the bar is
as filled out as possible.
Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) providers broadcast
programs in groups called ensembles. A channel
contains a single ensemble, and an ensemble
typically contains 5–10 programs. Some DAB
providers call an ensemble a ‘multiplex’, or call a
program a ‘service’.
