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 Micro 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’ button on the Micro or on the remote control. Use the

and buttons on the Micro or on the remote control to move to <DRC>.

2. Press the rotary control on the Micro to ‘Select’ or the ‘Select’ button on the remote

control. The current DRC setting will have an ‘*’ next to it.

3. Use the and buttons on the Micro or on the remote control to move

through the options and press the rotary control on the Micro to ‘Select’ or the ‘Select’

button on the remote control to confirm.

4. Press and release the ‘Menu’ button to exit the Menu.
