What is DAB system?
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is one of the digital radio broadcasting systems available today. It can deliver digital quality sound without any annoying interference or signal distortion. Furthermore, it can carry text, pictures and data. In contrast to FM broadcast, where each program is transmitted on its own frequency, DAB combines several programs (called “services”) to form one “ensemble.”“Primary services” (main radio stations) are sometimes accompanied by “secondary services” to broadcast additional programs.
CAUTION:
Electrostatic discharge from your body may cause noise from the speakers and you cannot hear the broadcast. If this happens, turn off the System (on standby), then turn it on again.

Scanning ensembles
With the ensemble scanning function, the System scans the DAB bands to pick out available ensembles under your receiving condition.
•When you change the source to DAB for the first time after plugging in the AC power code, the System automatically performs the scanning.
•When you moved your System or adjusted the antenna position, perform the scanning manually.
Press and hold for more than 2 seconds while tuning in to DAB.
