DAB radio mode
DAB radio mode receives DAB/DAB+ digital radio and
displays information about the station, stream and
track playing. To enter DAB mode, either press Mode
until the display shows

Menu >

Scanning for stations
The first time you select DAB radio mode, or if the
station list is empty, the WLD+201 automatically
performs a full scan to see what stations are available.
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 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.
Selecting stations

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.
