Using The Fm Radio - THOMSON CP284DAB Bedienungsanleitung

Note: If no DAB station has been stored under the preset button, 'Preset Empty' will be displayed and
the radio will revert to the previously selected radio station.
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. The information
could be the name of an artist or music title, the DJ's name, the contact details for the radio station, etc.
Signal Strength - the display will appear empty 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.
Programme 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 radio 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 Menu/Info button on the top of the radio 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.
There are 3 levels of compression:
• DRC Off: no compression. This is the default setting.
• DRC Low: medium compression.
• DRC High: maximum compression.
1) Press and hold the Menu/Info button for 2 seconds.
2) Use the TUNE+/TUNE- button to scroll to 'DRC' and press the SELECT/SCAN button to select.
3) Use the TUNE+/TUNE- button to scroll through the 3 compression level options available and
press the SELECT/SCAN button to select.
