7.1 Scanning for stations
The first time you select DAB radio mode, Or if
the station list is empty, R4 STEREO automatically
performs a full scan to see what stations are avail-
able. You may also need to start a scan manually
to update the list of stations for one of the following
reasons:
• Available stations change from time to time.
• If reception was not good for the original scan
(for example the antenna was not up), this may
result in an empty or incomplete list of available
stations.
• If you have poor reception of some stations
(burbling), you may wish to list only stations with
50
good signal strength.
To start a scan manually, select Menu > Scan.
Once the scan is complete, the radio shows a list
of available stations.
To remove stations that are listed but unavailable,
select Menu > Prune invalid.

Dynamic range compression
Some DAB broadcasts offer dynamic range
compression (DRC). This feature allows radios
to compress the dynamic range of the output
audio stream, so that the volume of quiet sounds
is increased, and the volume of loud sounds is
reduced. This can be useful if you are listening
to music with a high dynamic range in a noisy
environment (for example, classical music while
cooking).
To change the DRC of the R4, select Menu >
DRC, and then DRC high, DRC low or DRC off.
Note: The R4's DRC setting does have any effect if
DRC data is not included in the broadcast.

Station order

You can choose the order of the DAB station list
to be either Alphanumeric, Ensemble or Valid. En-
