LISTENING TO DAB

Until now, analogue radio signals such as FM or AM have been subject to numerous kinds of interference on their way from the transmitter to your radio. These problems were caused by mountains, high-rise buildings and weather conditions. With Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB), you can now receive CD-like quality radio programs without any annoying interference and signal distortion. You get far more robust reception and virtually hiss or crackle free sound with DAB as long as you are within a good coverage area.

With DAB, the listener can scroll through a list of available stations - then instantly tune to the station of his choice. There is no need either to remember channel frequencies. All broadcasts are selected by simply selecting the service name.

ABOUT DAB ANTENNA

Connect the supplied F-type DAB antenna to the DAB antenna input. The supplied antenna is for internal use only. Extend the lead. Fix it to the wall in a vertical direction. The strength of the incoming signal can be shown on the VFD by pressing the [TUNE MODE/SELECT] button. The more segments are visible in the lower display line, the stronger the signal. By changing the position of the antenna, you can increase the signal strength. You can also opt for an external antenna. Consult an antenna professional for more information.
