Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) can
deliver digital quality sound without any
annoying interference and signal distortion.
Furthermore, it can carry text, pictures, and
data. hen transmitting, DAB combines
several programmes (called “services”) to
form one “ensemble.” In addition, each
“service”—called “primary service”—can
also be divided into its components (called
“secondary service”). A typical ensemble has
six or more programmes (services) broadcast
at the same time.
By connecting the DAB tuner, this unit can do
the following:
•
Tracing the same programme automatically
—Alternative Frequency Reception (see “DAB
