DAB

Overview of DAB

DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is a new multimedia broadcasting system that transmits audio programmes with a quality comparable to that of CDs. This is made possible by the use of a microcomputer in the DAB tuner which uses the radio signals sent from multiple aerials and multi-path signals (reflected radio waves) to boost the strength of the main signal. This makes DAB almost immune to radio interference even in a moving object such as a car.

Each DAB station bundles radio programmes (services) into an ensemble which it then broadcasts. Each service contains one or more components. All ensembles, services, and components are identified by name, so you can access any of them without having to know their frequencies.

Notes

•The DAB system is actually in a testing phase. This means some services have not been sufficiently defined or are presently being tested. At present, such services are not supported by the optional DAB tuner unit XT-100DAB.

•DAB programmes are broadcast in Band-III (174 to 240 MHz) and L-Band (1,452 to 1,492 MHz), with each band divided into channels (41 in Band-III and 23 in L-Band). One ensemble is broadcast per channel by each DAB station.

•When you change the mode from FM3 to DAB, all the AF TA modes stay active.

•When you change any of the AF TA modes in DAB, that mode stays active in FM1.
