DAB

DAB stands for digital audio broadcasting. It is a new form

of radio that is broadcast digitally. Unlike regular analogue

broadcasting, digital radio deteriorates less, and is thus able

to provide quality sound close to that of a disc.

DAB structureDAB structure

Bands

There are two types of DAB bands, “BAND III” (Receivable

in this unit) and “L BAND”(Not broadcast in the United

Kingdom, and not receivable on this unit).

Frequencies

There are 41 frequencies on BAND III. Among those

frequencies, 7 are used in the United Kingdom (current as

of February, 2007).

Ensemble, station and service

The number of stations that make up one frequency differ

between DAB and analogue radio. Analogue stations all

broadcast on different frequencies, even if it is the same

company doing the broadcasting. With DAB however, it is

possible to broadcast a number of stations on the same

frequency.

In DAB terminology, a group of stations on the same frequency

is called an ensemble.

As shown in the diagram, an ensemble consists of a group

of stations which have primary services, they can also

have secondary services. This means, for example, that

commentary on sports events from different areas can all be

broadcast at once.

DAB reception method on this unitDAB reception method on this unit

Depending on the region there is a difference between

broadcast frequency and stations broadcast along the same

frequency. For this reason, a memory of receivable stations

should ﬁ rst be created and then select from those memorized

stations as the reception method.

DAB Auto Scan

This function searches for currently receivable stations and

inputs them into unit memory.

When DAB is selected for the ﬁ rst time, this function starts

automatically.

Note

Even if the station is stored into memory, some stations

may not broadcast depending on the time of day etc. If this

occurs,“NO SERVICE” is displayed.

Station Memory Updating

When there is a station name change, or a new station

begins broadcasting, the unit memory is automatically

updated when:

• The previous station name is displayed by selecting

“STATION TUNE”.

• One of the stations already broadcasting on the same

frequency with the new station is displayed by selecting

“STATION TUNE”.

Note

• Deleting stations that are no longer broadcasting is not automatic. If

you want to delete a station, perform Auto scan again and the new

memory is created.

• When a new frequency begins broadcasting, stations on that new

frequency are not automatically added to memory. Perform Auto

scan to add them to memory. Also, you may need to change the

Auto scan range if the new frequency is outside the factory set Auto

scan range (

page 13).

STATION TUNE

You can select stations from the memory created as shown

above in alphanumeric order. You can easily select your

favorite stations by using presets (
