Introduction
With this unit, you can enjoy both FM
radio and Digital Audio Broadcasting
(DAB) radio.
About DAB
Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB)
DAB digital radio is a new way of
broadcasting radio via a network of
terrestrial transmitters. It provides
listeners with more choice and
information delivered in crystal clear,
crackle-free sound quality.
• The technology allows the receiver
to lock on to the strongest signal it
can nd.
• With DAB digital stations there are
no frequencies to remember, and
sets are tuned by station name, so
there’s no returning on the move.
What is a multiplex?
Digital radio operation is made up of
a single block of frequencies called a
multiplex. Each multiplex works within a
frequency spectrum, such as Band III for
DAB broadcasts.
DAB BROADCASTERS AND DLS
Each DAB broadcaster (or multiplex
operator) also provides text and audio
data services.
Some programmes are supported by
Dynamic Label Segments (DLS).This is
data which you can read as scrolling
text on your DAB radio display. Some
stations transmit the latest news, travel,
and weather, what’s on now and next,
website addresses and phone numbers.
For more information on digital radio
coverage and services, please visit:
www.drdb.org.
