What you can do more with

DAB

Tracing the same program automatically (Alternative Reception)

You can keep listening to the same program.

•While receiving a DAB service:

When driving in an area where a service cannot be received, this unit automatically tunes in to another ensemble or FM RDS station, broadcasting the same program.

•While receiving an FM RDS station:

When driving in an area where a DAB service is broadcasting the same program as the FM RDS station is broadcasting, this unit automatically tunes in to the DAB service.

Note:

When reception switches between DAB and FM, the listening volume level may increase or decrease inconveniently. This change in the volume level results from unequal audio injection levels at broadcaster site, but not from the malfunction of this unit.

To prevent this inconvenience, you can adjust the DAB volume level (see the right column).
