1. Brief Introduction
The Kaos PDR1 is a digital radio with DAB,
DAB+, FM and MP3 functions.
DAB stands for Digital Audio Broadcasting and
it is the third-generation broadcasting system
after AM and FM analogue broadcasting. This
new transmission system has great
anti-interference performance qualities and can
eliminate noise and distortion during the
transmission process, automatically correcting
errors which leads it to provide near CD-quality
sound.
DAB+ is the updated version of the DAB
standard and is used in many European
countries as well as Canada, China and South
Korea. The DAB+ standard is based on
HE-AACv2 and can deliver the same high
quality sound at a much lower bit rate.

-9- KAOS
As DAB Radio isn’t available everywhere in the
world, the Kaos PDR1 has an FM radio function
allowing analogue FM broadcasts to be
received.
In MP3 mode, it can play MP3 music files which
are stored on the SD Card.
