Getting Started; Dab Radio Mode; Aux In Mode; System Settings - Berner BACR 18V Manual Original

GETTING STARTED

When Radio is fi rst powered up it will enter DAB mode and
automatically scans for stations. It will then set the time and start
playing the fi rst station it fi nds.
If there is no time signal available, the Time setting function is available
from the System menu.

DAB RADIO MODE

DAB radio mode receives DAB/DAB+ digital radio and displays
information about the station and programme/track as broadcast.
Scanning for stations (MENU -> Full scan)
You may also need to start a scan manually to update the list of
stations for one of the following reasons:
• New stations may become available from time to time.
• Stations close or can no longer be received (In the station list, invalid
stations are indicated with a question mark in front of their name).
• 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 causing the audio to
break up, you may wish to list only stations with good signal
strength.
Prune (MENU -> Prune)
This removes all invalid stations, indicated in the station list with a '?' in
front of the station name.
Select Stations (< >)
You can select scanned stations. Now playing screen is displayed with
the new station details.
Presets (PRESET)
The radio has 5 preset memories for DAB.
To store a station in a preset memory:
Press and hold PRESET until the display shows Preset Store. Presets
(1-5) are displayed as either Empty or with the currently stored station
name. Use the < > button to choose a preset memory then press to
store the currently-playing station.
After confi rming the preset station is stored the display reverts to the
Now playing screen.
To recall a preset station:
Press PRESET briefl y, (the display will show Preset Recall). Select
one of the listed preset stations using the < > button and press ENTER
to choose the displayed preset station.
Manual tune (MENU > Manual Tune)
As well as the normal method of scanning, you can also manually tune
to a particular channel/frequency. This can be useful for adjusting your
antenna to achieve the best possible reception and scanning a
particular channel to update the station list.
The display shows a live indication of the received signal strength on
the selected frequency. Adjustments to your antenna will be manifested
in the received signal strength displayed.
Note: The slightly larger rectangle indicates the audio quality threshold
– if the signal strength, as indicated by the solid rectangles, falls below
this threshold the audio quality will deteriorate.
At the same time the radio scans for any DAB stations on the selected
frequency and updates the station list with any new stations found. To
listen to any stations found, return to the Now playing screen and
select the required station from the station list as normal.
Now playing information
While a station is playing, the screen shows its name and DLS
(Dynamic Label Segment) information broadcast by the station such as
programme name, track title and contact details. Long DLS info, over
16 characters scrolls across the display.
DRC - Dynamic range compression (MENU > DRC)
This function reduces the diff erence between the loudest and quietest
audio being broadcast. Eff ectively, this makes quiet sounds
comparatively louder, and loud sounds comparatively quieter.

Note: DRC only works if it is enabled by the broadcaster for a specifi c
station.
FM RADIO MODE
FM radio mode receives analogue radio from the FM band and
displays RDS (Radio Data System) information about the station and
show (where broadcast).
Scanning for stations (MENU -> Scan Setting)
A scan stops when a signal is found. The radio can be set to stop at
each station or only at stations with a strong signal.
Select Stations (< >)
The fi rst time you select FM radio, the radio is set to the lowest
frequency in the FM band.
You can select scanned stations. Now playing screen is displayed with
the new station details.
Presets (PRESET)
The radio has 5 preset memories for FM, which work in the same way
as DAB mode presets, as described earlier in section.
Now playing information
While FM radio is playing, the screen shows its frequency, or if RDS
information is available, station name and any further 'RadioText'
information. If no information is available, just the frequency and a No
RadioText message is shown.
Scan settings (MENU -> Scan Settings)
By default, FM scans stop at any available station (All stations). This
may result in poor quality audio from weak stations. For better quality
choose the setting Strong stations only.
Audio settings (MENU -> Audio Settings)
By default, all stereo stations are reproduced in stereo. For weak
stations, this may result in poor quality audio. The audio quality can be
improved using mono.

AUX IN MODE

player.

status.
