DAB AERIAL ADJUSTMENT...
This menu contains an indicator bar. The length and colour of the bar indicate the strength of DAB signal reception and the risk of signal drop-out. Watch the indicator bar while you adjust your aerial. There is no sound while you adjust the aerial.

• The indicator bar extends rightward if signal strength increases, and reverses direction if it decreases.
• The indicator bar moves through a grey and a white field. The grey field to the left indicates that there is a significant risk of periodic signal drop-out. The white field to the right indicates that the risk of signal drop-out is minimal.

Note that you must select a channel number with a signal before adjusting the aerial. Check your DAB broadcasters' websites for channel numbers.

DAB DRC...
For certain DAB programs, you can adjust audio signal compression with the DRC (Dynamic Range Control) function. Compression compensates for sources of noise in your immediate surroundings.

Update tuning of DAB programs

Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) providers send programs in groups called ensembles*. A channel contains a single ensemble, and an ensemble typically contains 5–10 programs*.

When new DAB programs become available, you can tune them in with the update tuning function. This tunes in new programs and leaves previously stored programs unchanged.

When a DAB signal is found, all the programs in the signal are registered. When tuning is complete, you go through a list of the individual programs and select the ones you wish to store.

When tuning in new DAB programs...

• The available programs appear in the STORE DAB PROGRAM menu.
• Press or to move between programs.
• Press GO to store a program.
• If the STORE DAB PROGRAM menu is empty, or if you do not want to store more programs, press EXIT to leave the menu.

*Some DAB providers call an ensemble a 'multiplex', or call a program a 'service'.

DAB radio programs are broadcast in groups, or ensembles, located on channels.

Useful hints

Radio program names can contain up to 17 characters including numbers. When you name a program, choose characters by pressing . To delete a character you have entered, press .

To change between upper and lower case letters, choose either the arrow pointing upwards or downwards in the menu.

Radio text – text information about the current program and broadcaster – is supported by BeoCenter 2. You can set your system to display radio text via the DISPLAY menu. For further information, refer to the chapter 'Make option settings'.

If you tune in programs via the ADD PROGRAM or UPDATE TUNING menu, your previously tuned programs are left unchanged. They keep their program names, their order in the program list, and any special settings you may have stored for these programs. However, if you tune in programs via the AUTO TUNING menu, your settings for previously tuned programs are deleted.

About FM...

If the stereo signals are not strong enough to produce acceptable sound, the music system automatically switches to mono sound.

Audio CD settings

Additional CD functions are available via the AUDIO CD menu. This includes naming CDs, editing series of tracks and the random and repeat playback functions.

The random playback function plays all the tracks on the loaded CD in random order. The repeat playback function plays the loaded CD over and over – for up to 12 hours on end.

The random and repeat functions can be used in conjunction or separately.

If some of the tracks on an audio CD are not to your liking, you can edit the CD, so that only the tracks you select are played. Once you select a series of tracks, and activate the edit function, the music system plays the series of tracks you have chosen every time you play this CD.

To enter the AUDIO CD menu, press LIST, enter the SETUP menu and then enter the AUDIO CD menu.

What's on the AUDIO CD menu

ALL CDs (RANDOM, REPEAT, EDIT)...
Use this menu to activate the random or repeated playback functions for all CDs, and switch the edited playback function on or off.

Useful hints

You can only name a CD when it is playing. You can store a total of 200 CD names in your music system. Each name may contain up to 17 characters, including numbers.

If the CD name list is full, the music system will require you to delete a CD name before entering a new one. When you delete a CD name, you also remove the stored series of tracks with it, if you have edited the CD.

The use of a pincode means that if your music system has been disconnected from the mains for more than approximately 30 minutes, it can only be activated again by switching it on and keying in your pincode via the close-up operation panel.

If the pincode is not entered, the music system automatically switches to standby after 3 minutes.

You can change your pincode, but it is only possible to change it five times within a period of 3 hours.

If you enter the wrong pincode or Mastercode, or if you try to change the pincode more often than possible, the message PINCODE ERROR appears in the display.
