Advanced setup options

The DRX-701ES has a number of advanced features which enable you to change the order and number of stations on the station list, use a tuning aid, apply Dynamic Range Control (DRC) and view and update the software version.

name when you scroll through the station list.

Tuning aid

This option provides a signal level display which you can use to find the best position for your radio and aerial.

When you select this option, the bottom line of the display shows the channel identifier and frequency. See page 9 for useful addresses which you can contact to find the channel identifier for a multiplex you want to receive.

1.Turn the tuning knob to scroll through different channels and push the tuning knob to select one. Note The list includes all channels, UK stations are in the range 11B to 12D. You see a signal level display. The empty block indicates the minimum required level for reception and the solid blocks indicate the current level.

2.Move your aerial whilst watching the display and to try to raise the current level to the empty block or beyond. The display will change to show the multiplex name on the bottom line of the display once a good signal is received and the multiplex will be added to the service list.

3.Push the Setup button to exit the tuning aid or turn the tuning knob to select another channel.

Note You can also display the signal level for any station you are listening to by pushing the tuning button.

DRC Value

DRC (Dynamic Range Control) enables you to alter the dynamic range of the received audio (dependent on broadcast material) by making the quieter sounds in a broadcast more audible. This may be useful in noisy environments or particularly quiet parts of programmes. The DRC level of a broadcast is set by a broadcaster and transmitted with the service. Changing this DRC value enables you to apply a scaling factor to this level.

When you select this option you see the current DRC scaling factor on the top line of the display and a scroll list on the bottom. Turn the tuning knob to scroll through the following options and push the tuning knob to select one:

DRC 0 DRC scaling is switched off.

DRC ½ DRC scaling is set to ½ that sent with the transmitted service.

DRC 1 Applies the DRC scaling as sent with the transmitted service. This is the default setting.

Sw upgrade

This option enables you to upgrade the software in your DRX-701ES using a PC connected to the USB connection on the rear panel. Fill in the appropriate section of your warranty card to automatically receive details of when software upgrades are available and instructions on how to install them, or check our website for the latest information.

Sw version

This option enables you to view the version number of the software installed in your DRX-701ES. You may be asked to quote this if you contact PURE Digital technical support for advice. This option can only be viewed, not adjusted.
