About DAB programmes

The DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) system transmits several programmes on one frequency simultaneously, by compressing audio signals.

•A DAB station has multiple programmes on one frequency.

•The group of programmes, which is transmitted on a single frequency is called “ensemble”.

•Some DAB stations have several ensembles and broadcast diversified programmes.

•The number of programmes and the contents which an ensemble provides depend on the broadcast stations and times.

Since the DAB programmes are broadcasted on several different frequencies, the same programme can be enjoyed over large areas.

•When you turn this unit on and select the DAB mode, the programme that starts is the one that was selected before when the power was turned off. If this programme is not available, another programme is selected automatically.

•Programmes have their own names, just like PS on RDS.

Note:

•To improve audio quality, the receiver needs to tune in to an ensemble. While the receiver is being tuned in to the ensemble, the Audio outputs are muted. The tuning time is not fixed.

•The following functions can be used by the same operations as the RDS operations (see page 33):

•AF function

•TA (Traffic Announcement)

•Selecting PTY

•PTY seek

•PTY preset memory

•Emergency broadcast

•Setting volume of TA, emergency broadcast (ALARM), information, and PTY
