DAB RADIO  What is DAB Digital Radio?DAB is not available on the ROW and USA models of AirStream 20.DAB  stands  for  Digital  Audio  Broadcasting.  The  difference  between  DAB  and  a conventional  AM/FM  radio  broadcast  is  a  digitally  transmitted  signal,  resulting in  a  higher  quality  audio  sound*,  without  hissing,  fading  or  crackling.    In  DAB Mode, your AirStream 20 will automatically scan and  find  all available  stations too. The  station  name,  together  with  other  helpful  broadcast  information  is  shown on  the  display,  very  much  like  Internet  Radio  broadcasts.    For  more  information about  DAB  services  and  to  find  a  list  of  stations  available  in  your  area  visit  www.digitalradionow.com.When you switch on the AirStream 20 it will always start in the mode that was last used, iPod/  DAB/ FM/ Internet  for  example. If  you were listening to  a DAB station before turning it off, it will start up, automatically playing the last station tuned to.Selecting ‘DAB’ ModeAlways make sure that the aerial is fully extended and adjusted (a vertical position is recommended), to ensure the maximum signal strength and the best possible sound quality when scanning or listening to DAB stations.Press the ‘Mode’  button (on the  remote or  the unit)  and scroll through the modes until you find DAB. The first time you select DAB mode on your AirStream 20 it will automatically  begin  to  scan  for  DAB  radio  stations.  A  progress  bar  will  show  the progress of the scan and the number of stations found will also be displayed. When  the  scan  is  complete,  a  list  of  available  DAB  stations  will  be  displayed  in numerical and then alphabetical order by default.* Please note that sound quality is dependent on strong signal strength. Signal strength can vary from area to area.  Use the ‘Tune/Select Dial’ or ‘Up’, ‘Down’ and ‘OK’ buttons on the remote to scroll through and select  from the station list  .   If  the station  you  are  trying to  find  is not displayed, it can be searched for manually (see below).Note: The DAB radio station list is stored in the memory and so the next time you switch your AirStream 20 on, the station search does not take place. It is possible to scan manually for stations (see below).  It is recommended to search manually periodically in case new stations have started broadcasting.Changing DAB Stations1.  If you are not already in DAB mode, press the ‘Mode’ button until you reach ‘DAB Radio’.2.  The AirStream 20  will  automatically select the  last  DAB station listened  to and begin to play. To choose an alternative DAB station, press the ‘Left’ or ‘Right’ arrow button or the ‘Previous’, ‘Next’ buttons on the remote to scroll through the previous/ next stations on the station list.3.  Alternatively,  press the ‘Return Button’ or the ‘Down Button’ on the remote to bring up the full station list.Manually Scanning for DAB StationsAdditionally, DAB radio stations and services regularly become available, therefore we recommend a manual scan periodically, to ensure that  the most up to date station listings  are  stored  within  the  memory  of  the  AirStream  20.  If  the  AirStream  20    is moved to another location, e.g. moving house or if taken on holiday, a new manual scan is also recommended. In DAB mode:1.  When in DAB mode, press the ‘Menu’ button and select ‘Local Scan’.2.  Press the ‘Tune/Select Dial’ or ‘OK’ on the remote to begin a search for local DAB stations. A local scan will take approximately 20 seconds.3.  If using the AirStream 20 outside the UK, scroll to ‘Full scan’ and select.  This will start a much wider, national and local scan. A full scan will take between 1 minute to 3 minutes to complete.Note: Occasionally,  a ’?‘ will be displayed alongside a station name. This indicates that the station is not available/not currently active. This could occur if attempting to tune into a secondary service/station at a time when it is not transmitting.DAB radio1011001100011100111100001234       Full scanStations: 00Scanning123414 AirStream 20
monitoraudio.com 15Storing a DAB Station PresetThe  AirStream  20  can  store  up  to  4  DAB  stations  in  preset  memory  locations  for instant access to favourite stations.When the AirStream 20 is playing the station to be saved to a preset, press and hold the 1-4 preset button it is to be stored to. The display will confirm ‘Preset Stored’.Note:When  storing  DAB  radio  station  presets,  they  do  not  overwrite  previously  stored Internet or FM station presets.  However, if there is already an existing DAB station stored under the preset, it will be overwritten with the new station.Select a DAB Station PresetIn DAB  mode, press the preset number  and the  AirStream 20  will connect  to that station and begin to play.Note: If the preset location is empty, the display will confirm this with ’Preset empty’ before reverting to the previously selected station after a few seconds.DAB Display InformationWhen listening to a DAB station you can change the information that appears on the second line of the display below the station name. There are several different types of information that are transmitted by the broadcaster.  Press the ‘Info’ key to scroll through the display options.  Dynamic Label Segment  Program Type    Multiplex Name  Today’s Date  Signal Info        Signal Error/ StrengthDynamic Label Segment (DLS) - This is scrolling text information supplied by the broadcaster. Information could contain the name of an artist or music title, DJ’s name, contact details for the radio station, etc.Program Type (PTY) - Such as ‘Rock’, ‘Pop’, ‘Talk’ or ‘News’Location & Frequency - Displays the broadcasting area and sampling frequency.Signal Error- The information provided gives details of the signal error rate, shown as a number between 0 - 99.  It will not be possible to listen to a radio station satisfactorily with a signal  error rate  of  30 or above.  Try adjusting the  aerial  or repositioning the AirStream 20 to improve reception.Signal Information -The data rate at which the signal is being transmitted, codec and channels. Today’s Date - Date information supplied by the broadcaster. 1234RPreset Stored
Manual TuneThe ‘Manual tune’ function is used as a reference to see if stations are being broadcast over set frequencies.  It  is  not possible to store a station from here, although the signal strength will be displayed.Using the manual tune feature, select a specific digital radio channel frequency and then manually  adjust the aerial,  or the location  of the AirStream 20, to  obtain the strongest possible signal for that channel.1.  When in DAB mode, press the ‘Menu’ button.2.  Highlight and select ‘Manual tune’.3.  Scroll  through  the  digital  radio  frequencies  and  select  the  desired  one.    The AirStream  20  will  display  the  radio  frequency  and  a  strength  indicator.    The strength indicator is in the form of  a  rectangle with fluctuating (depending on signal strength) solid bars. The row of bars indicates the actual signal strength that you are receiving. The stronger the signal, the larger the number of signal bars displayed.If a signal is  detected, the  frequency  will scroll along  the  display showing the station name.  Example:Note: If the signal strength box is empty, this indicates no signal reception at all for that particular digital radio channel in your area.Adjust the position of the aerial on the AirStream 20, to obtain the maximum signal strength and press the ‘Return’ button to exit back. Dynamic Range ControlThe dynamic range  for each  radio programme is  set by the broadcaster for each radio station and may be different for certain types of programme broadcast.  For example, pop, classical music or a chat show. The Dynamic Range Control signal is transmitted in parallel with the audio signal for each programme.  With the AirStream 20,  it  is  possible  to  use  this  control  signal  to  expand  or  compress  the  dynamic range (the difference between the loudest and quietest sounds) of the reproduced audio signal. Changing the dynamic range can affect the ‘loudness’ and/or ‘quality of sound’ of the programme, making it more suited to your listening conditions and your own personal listening requirements.  For example, a noisy environment, where quiet sounds can be swamped, setting the compression to maximum (DRC High) will ‘boost‘ the quiet sounds, whilst keeping the loudest sounds at their original level.There are 3 levels of compression:DRC Off - No compression. This is the default setting.DRC Low - Medium compression. DRC High - Maximum compression.To change the Dynamic Range Control:1.  In DAB mode, press the ‘Menu’ button.2.  Highlight and select  ‘DRC’. The current DRC setting  will have an asterisk  (  ) next to it.3.  Scroll through the 3 levels of compression and select the preferred choice.  We would suggest trying different levels of compression to see which suits you best.Note:The DRC Level cannot be set for each preset.  The same level will be used for all stations and presets.*1234*       DRCDRC HighDRC LowDRC Off       Manual tune12B 225.648MHz  BBC NationalStrength:   123416 AirStream 20

GLOSSARY OF TERMSAAC - Advanced Audio Coding.  This is a standardised encoding system for digital audio.  Designed  to  be  the  successor  of  the  MP3  format,  AAC  generally  achieves better sound quality than MP3AAC’s best known use is as the default audio format of Apple’s iPhone, iPod, iTunes and the format used for all iTunes Store audioDAB - Digital Audio Broadcasting.  This is a digital radio technology for broadcasting radio  stations,  used  in  several  countries,  particularly  in  the  UK  and  Europe.  As  of 2006, approximately 1,000 stations worldwide broadcast in the DAB formatThe standard offers several benefits over existing analogue FM radio, such as more stations in the same broadcast spectrum and increased resistance to noise, multipath, fading and co-channel interference. DHCP  -  Dynamic  Host  Configuration  Protocol  (DHCP)  is  a  network  application protocol  used  by  devices  to  obtain  configuration  information  for  operation  in  an Internet  Protocol  network.  This  protocol  reduces  system  administration  workload, allowing devices to be added to the network with little or no manual intervention.Dynamic  Host  Configuration  Protocol  automates  network  parameter  assignment to network devices from one or multiple, fault-tolerant DHCP servers. Even in small networks, DHCP is useful because it can make it easy to add new machines to the network.EQ - Equaliser.  This is used to change the characteristics of the sound output by the AirStream 20.  The changes can include accentuated bass, treble or voices.   These are all preset curves that cannot be altered.  Frontier Silicon - Established in 2001 as a privately-funded fabless semiconductor company, Frontier Silicon has rapidly become the world’s leading supplier of innovative semiconductor, module and software solutions for digital radio and connected audio systems.With headquarteres in Watford, on the northwest outskirts of London, Frontier Silicon has around 120 staff, 70% of whom are engineers.  R&D centres are found in several locations including Cambridge, Dublin, Shannon and Hong KongTheir  multimode  connected  audio  platforms  support  over  10,000  Internet  radio stations  through  the  Frontier  Silicon  on-line  radio  portal.    Innovative  on-line  music services are driving forward our platforms to support more sophisticated displays and graphical user interfaces as we move from mono to rich full colour UI’s.IP  Address  -  An  Internet  Protocol  address  is  a  numerical  identification  that  is assigned to devices participating in a computer network utilising the Internet Protocol for communication between its nodes.  Although IP addresses are stored as binary numbers, they are usually displayed in as a group of numbers, such as 192.168.68.1The original designers of TCP/IP defined an IP address as a 32-bit number and this system is still in use today. Media Streaming - Streaming media is media that is constantly transferred between devices contained on a network.MP3 - MP3, is a digital audio encoding format using a form of lossy data compression. It  is  a  common  audio  format  for  consumer  audio  storage,  as  well  as  a  de  facto standard encoding for the transfer and playback of music on digital audio players. Podcast  -  A  podcast  is  a  series  of  audio  or  video  digital  media  files  which  are distributed  over  the  Internet,  through  web  feeds,  to  portable  media  players  and personal computers. Though the same content may also be made available by direct download  or  streaming,  a  podcast  is  distinguished  from  most  other  digital  media formats by its ability to be syndicated, subscribed to and downloaded automatically when new content is added. Like the term broadcast, podcast can refer either to the series of content itself or to the method by which it is syndicated; the latter is also called podcasting.RDS  -  Radio  Data  System,  is  a  communications  protocol  standard  from  the European Broadcasting Union for sending small amounts of digital information using conventional FM  radio broadcasts. The  RDS system  standardises several  types  of information transmitted, including time, track/artist info and station identification. RDS has been standard in Europe and Latin America since the early 1990s, but less so in North America.Radio Broadcast Data System is the official name used for the U.S. version of RDS, though the ‘RDS’ name seems to be at least as common in usage. The two standards are nearly identical, with only slight differences applied to the way in which numbers are assigned to each of 31 musical and other program formats the RBDS system can identify. RBDS was approved by the NRSC, RDS by the EBU.Continued...28 AirStream 20
monitoraudio.com 29Real - RealAudio is a proprietary audio format developed by RealNetworks. It uses a variety of audio codecs, ranging from low-bit rate formats that can be used over dialup modems, to high-fidelity formats for music. It can also be used as a streaming audio format, which is played at the same time as it is downloaded. It is used heavily by the BBC web sites.SSID  -  Service  Set  Identifier,  is a  name  used to  identify the  particular IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN’s to which a user wants to attach. A client device will receive broadcast messages  from  all  access  points  within  range  advertising  their  SSID’s,  and  can choose one to connect to based on pre-configuration, or by displaying a list of SSID’s in range and asking the user to select one. UPnP - Universal Plug and Play is a set of computer protocols promulgated by the UPnP Forum. The goals of UPnP are to allow devices to connect seamlessly and to simplify the implementation of networks in the home (data sharing, communications and  entertainment)  and  in  corporate  environments  for  simplified  installation  of computer components. UPnP achieves this by defining and publishing UPnP device control protocols built upon open, Internet-based communication standards.WEP -  Wired Equivalent  Privacy is  a deprecated algorithm  to secure IEEE  802.11 wireless networks. Wireless networks broadcast messages using radio and are thus more susceptible to eavesdropping than wired networks. When introduced in 1997, WEP was intended to provide confidentiality comparable to that of a traditional wired network.WEP is often inaccurately referred to as Wireless Encryption Protocol.Wi-Fi  -  Wi-Fi  is  a  trademark  of  the  Wi-Fi  Alliance,  founded  in  1999  as  Wireless Internet Compatibility Alliance (WICA), comprising more than 300 companies, whose products are certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance, based on the IEEE 802.11 standards (also called  Wireless  LAN (WLAN)  and  Wi-Fi).  This  certification  warrants inter  operability between different wireless devices.A Wi-Fi enabled device such as a PC, game console, mobile phone, MP3 player or PDA can connect to the Internet when within range of a wireless network connected to the Internet. WMA - Windows Media Audio is an audio data compression technology developed by Microsoft. The name can be used to refer to its audio file format or its audio codecs. It is a proprietary technology that forms part of the Windows Media framework. WMA consists of four distinct codecs. The original WMA codec, known simply as WMA, was conceived as a competitor to the popular MP3 and RealAudio codecs.WPA - Wi-Fi Protected Access is a certification program created by the Wi-Fi Alliance to  indicate  compliance  with  the  security  protocol  created  by  the  Wi-Fi  Alliance  to secure wireless computer networks. iPod® and iPhone® are  registered trademarks of Apple Computer Inc.
