• The instructions in this manual describe the

• “DVD” may be used as a general term for
DVD VIDEOs, DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, and
DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs.
• Measurements are expressed in feet (ft) for
North American models.
• The following symbols are used in this
manual.
* MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) is a standard format
defined by ISO/MPEG which compresses audio
data.
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.
Note
• The status of the DAB broadcast depends on your
country or region. It may not be broadcasted or may
be in test phase.
