How to use this manual

Overview of DAB

DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is a new multimedia broadcasting system that replaces the current FM/AM broadcast to transmit audio

programs with a quality comparable to that of CDs*.

Each DAB multiplex radio station converts programs (services) into an ensemble, which it then broadcasts. Each service contains one or more components. All services and components are identified by name, so you can access any of them without having to know their frequencies. Furthermore, additional information (called program associated data) can be broadcast along with the services in the form of text.

With DAB digital radio, you can enjoy:

–CD sound quality without any hiss or crackle to spoil the sound*

–both music and data services from a single tuner (this tuner does not support data services)

–the same radio stations of the same frequency from anywhere in the country

–multiple programs (services) from a single frequency

*Some service components may not match CD quality sound.
