Getting Started

Digital Radio

About DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting)
DAB is one of the digital radio broadcasting systems available today. It can deliver digital quality sound without any annoying interference or signal distortion. Furthermore, it can carry text, pictures and data.

In contrast to FM broadcast, where each program is transmitted on its own frequency, DAB combines several programs (called “services”) to form one “ensemble”.

The “primary component” (main radio station) is sometimes accompanied by a “secondary component” which can contain extra programs or other information.

• “DGTL” indicator lights up when receiving DAB digital signal and flashes when receiving a RDS signal.
• The unit switches to DAB alarm automatically when receiving an alarm signal from DAB broadcast.
