for acceptable listening. The row of solid rectangles indicate the actual signal strength that you
are receiving.

quency e.g.: NDR2 DAB+

relocating your radio to improve reception.

5.6.1. DAB Slideshow

5.7. Dynamic Range Control (DRC)
If you are listening to music with a high dynamic range in a noisy environment, you may wish to
compress the audio dynamic range. This makes quiet sounds louder, and loud sounds quieter.
There are 3 levels of compression:
•
DRC off - no compression. This is the default setting.
•
DRC low - medium compression.
•
DRC high - maximum compression.
Note: This function is only working correctly if the radio station is supporting this feature.
6. FM Radio Mode
If you are not already in FM mode, press the Mode button to go to FM mode. If you were listening to
a FM station when you switched the radio off, then this station will automatically be selected when
you switch the radio back on.
