DRC Va lue
D RC (Dynamic Range Control) enables you to alter the dynamic range of the received audio (dependent on broadcast
material) by making the quieter sounds in a broadcast more audible at low volume or in a noisy environment. The DRC
level of a broadcast is set by a broadcaster and transmitted with the service. Changing this DRC value enables you to
apply a scaling factor to this level.
When you select this option you see the current DRC scaling factor on the top line of the display and a scroll list on the
bottom. Turn the tuning knob to scroll through and push to select the following options:
DRC 0 DRC scaling is switched off. This is the default setting.
DRC ½ DRC scaling is set to ½ that sent with the transmitted service.
DRC 1 Applies the DRC scaling as sent with the transmitted service.
Language
Language enables you to set the display to one of six languages; English, French, German, Spanish, Swedish or Danish. This
affects the language of your menu options and programme type information only - broadcast text remains in the language
in which it is broadcast. When you select this option you see the current language on the top line of the display and a scroll
list on the bottom. Turn the tuning knob to scroll through the languages and push the tuning knob to select one.
