This manual mainly explains operations using
the remote, but the same operations can also be
performed using the buttons on the unit having
the same or similar names.
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is a new
multimedia broadcasting system that replaces
the current FM/AM broadcast to transmit audio
programs with a quality comparable to that of
CDs
*
.
Each DAB multiplex radio station converts
programs (services) into an ensemble, which it
then broadcasts. Each service contains one or
more components. All services and components
are identified by name, so you can access any of
them without having to know their frequencies.
Furthermore, additional information (called
program associated data) can be broadcast along
with the services in the form of text.
With DAB digital radio, you can enjoy:
– CD sound quality without any hiss or crackle to
spoil the sound
*
– both music and data services from a single tuner
(this tuner does not support data services)
– the same radio stations of the same frequency from
anywhere in the country
– multiple programs (services) from a single
frequency
* Some service components may not match CD quality
sound.
Notes
• The status of the DAB broadcast depends on your
country or region. It may not be broadcasted or may
be in test phase.
• DAB programs are broadcast in Band-III (174 to 240
MHz) and/or L-Band (1452 to 1491 MHz), with each
band divided into channels. Each of these channels
has its own channel label. For details on the channel
labels and frequencies that this tuner supports, see
the Frequency Table on page 31.
• This tuner does not support data services.
