INFORMATION SETTINGS

The DAB signal contains besides the radio station additional
information. This information can be made visible in the lower display
line of the Information Display.
The following information is available to display:
1 Dynamic Label Segment (DLS): scrolling text, supplied by the

broadcaster.

2 Program Type: describes the type of broadcast, e.g. Pop Music or

Drama.

3 Multiplex Name: will show the name of the multiplex of the

broadcaster.

4 Time and Date.
5 Bitrate: shows the bit rate of the incoming digital signal.
6 Channel and Frequency.

To change between the options, press the Info Button on the front panel
or on the remote control. Note that the upper display line will always
show the actual station. Pressing the Info Button again will show the
next option. When you have found the information you would like to
display, press the Select Button to activate the change.

MENU CONTROL

The DAB mode in the C445 Tuner contains a menu structure to access
various system options. To enter the menu, press the Menu Button on
the front panel or on the remote control once. To scroll through the list
of sections of the menu, turn the Control Ring or press the Scroll / Tune
Buttons on the remote control. The sections will be shown on the lower
display line in the Information Display. To enter a section and see the
options, press the Select Button. You can scroll through the options with
the Control Ring and activate an option by pressing the Select Button
once that option is shown on the Information Display.

SIGNAL ERROR RATE

In this section you can see the level of correction the C445 Tuner is
applying to the DAB signal to maintain the audio quality. The level will
be indicated by a numeric value between 0 (no correction) and 99
(maximum correction). For an acceptable quality, the value of 50 should
not be exceeded.

PRESET TUNE

In this section you can tune presets of stations that broadcast only
periodically, stations which were not found during the Autotune
process. If you return to this preset in the future, and at that time there
is no broadcast, or the broadcast signal strength is poor, then the display
will show STATION NOT AVAILABLE.

DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL (DRC) VALUE

In this section you can set the level of compression of stations to
eliminate the differences in dynamic range or sound level between radio
stations. Popular music would normally be more compressed than
classical music, resulting in possible different audio levels when
changing from one station to the other. Setting the DRC to 0 means no
compression, 1/2 indicates medium compression and 1 shows
maximum compression. No compression is recommended, especially for
classical music. Note that other radio stations may be far louder, so
make sure that amplifier levels are not set too high when changing from
one station to another.

MANUAL TUNE

In this section you can activate Manual tuning, in case the Autotune
function is unable to find any stations. You can also use Manual tuning
to assist in positioning the antenna for best reception of a specific station.
